PORTABLE UNIT (ME6820) 2.1 OVERVIEW The portable radio station (ME6820) is used together with a headset for audio input/output. ME Mobile Equipment Headset FIGURE 1. Portable unit and headset. The user interface control consists of a number of keys and a two-coloured LED on the ME unit and a recorded voice function, SYNVOICE. The SYNVOICE is a sampled phrase database that is used as an audio display, instead of a visible display, to indicate selections and status. The operation of the ME is based on a few keys that are pressed in different combinations for accessing the parameter to operate/modify. The keys on the ME unit are: PTT, M, +, -, and *. For every key pressed, there is a KEY CLICK sound generated into the headset. 2.2 STATEMENT This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 8(37) 2.3 USER INTERFACE 2.3.1 Overview The functions accessed by the keys on the ME unit can be listed as follows: q Power control q Transmitter keying q Volume control for headset q Menu and mode selection control Volumeup/downbuttonsMode buttonPushToTalk buttonMenuselection upbuttonTwocolouredLEDPTTM*+- FIGURE 2. Portable unit. The following items are denoted in the picture: q PTT q M key for mode selection q +/- keys for volume adjustment q * key for menu selection q Power LED for power and battery indication and operator type indicator
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 9(37) 2.3.2 Power ON/OFF To switch the power on or off, the + and - keys are used together and held for about 1 second until the LED is steady green. When the unit has been powered on the user can start a network or logon to a network. 2.3.3 Start menu When ME unit is powered on the user enters the start menu. The selected items in the start menu are listed by the SYNVOICE function. It is configurable which modes should be included in the start menu but the modes in the start menu can at most be: q CHANNEL [channel list] q UNIT MODE [master/slave] q USER TYPE [list] q ORDER SYNCHRONISE AP In the start menu key PTT is used for confirming settings. To browse through the menu the M key is used and the * key is used to change a setting. If the start menu looks like the list above M is pressed twice to select USER TYPE, to change the settings of mode USER TYPE the * key is used. If PTT is pressed the changed setting is saved and the SYNVOICE function again lists the settings in the menu. If the setting is not confirmed within a configurable time the setting is changed back to default mode. If the user any time in the start menu presses PTT when no changes have been done to the settings since last time they were listed the logon procedure starts immediately. The logon procedure will also be activated if no action is taken within a configurable time, the unit then starts to logon with the default settings listed. A successful logon is announced with SYNVOICE message “LOG ON OK”. If the unit has received information of external connections during the logon procedure the user will be notified with SYNVOICE message “EXTERNAL AVAILABEL”. If destination by default is one of the external connections, 2.3.4.1, this is announced by message “EXTERNAL” plus the name of the external. If UNIT MODE is included in the start menu the user can choose to either start a new network as a Master, 2.3.3.1, or to logon to an existing network as a Slave, 2.3.3.2. 2.3.3.1 Starting a network To start a new network UNIT MODE must be set to “MASTER”. If the default setting is “SLAVE” the setting is changed with keys M and * and confirmed by pressing PTT. When the logon procedure starts the unit will start a new network with the selected channel in the start menu. A successfully started network is announced to the user by SYNVOICE message ”LOG ON OK”. 2.3.3.2 Logging on to a network To be able to logon to an existing network UNIT MODE must be set to “SLAVE”, there can only be one “MASTER” in a network. The network can be selected by the mode “CHANNEL”, the slave must have same channel number as the master of the network.
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 10(37) When the logon procedure starts the unit will try to logon to the Master of the network. A successfully logon to a network is announced to the user by SYNVOICE message ”LOG ON OK”. If no network is available a “NEG RESPONS” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard and then a “NO SERVICE” tone, 2.3.8.8, is repeated until next logon attempt. If logon fails due to mismatch of system configuration SYNVOICE message “CONFIGURATION ERROR” is heard in the headset and then the “NO SERVICE” tone is turned on until next logon try. The unit tries to logon for a configurable time and then power is automatically turned off. The user can access the start menu and change settings either until the unit successfully logs on to the network or until power down. 2.3.4 Normal menu When the unit has logged on or started a network the user can access the normal menu with the M key. It is configurable which modes should be included in the normal menu but the modes in the normal menu can at most be: q DESTINATION [list] – if connected to external connections q CHANNEL [channel list] q VOX [on/off] q UNIT MODE [master/slave] q USER TYPE [list] q KEY LOCK [on/off] q LED [on/off/nvg/timer] q ORDER VOX [on/off] q ORDER POWER OFF q ORDER SLEEP MODE q ORDER MERGE CHANNEL [channel list] q ORDER CHANNEL [channel list] q ORDER RELAY [on/off] q ORDER CHANGE MASTER q ORDER SYNCHRONIZE AP The M key is used for cycling between the modes in the menu and * is used for changing the settings of the selected mode. When the menu has been accessed PTT is used for confirming the settings. When a setting has been confirmed a “CONFIRMED” tone is heard in the headset and the unit exits the menu. If no action is taken, when the menu has been accessed, within a configurable time the unit exits the menu again, a “MENU EXIT” tone is then generated. Mode DESTINATION will only be available if the unit has access to any external connections, DESTINATION is then the default mode and can be changed directly with *. I.e. the menu does not have to be accessed to change the DESTINATION setting. If no external connections are available pressing * has no effect when the menu has not been accessed.
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 11(37) 2.3.4.1 DESTINATION The DESTINATION mode is available if the user has access to any external connections. The setting of the mode specifies where the audio from a PTT request should be routed. Changing the setting alters destinations of the audio from the unit when PTT is used. 2.3.4.1.1 Change setting of mode DESTINATION q If the menu has not been accessed this point can be skipped. Press and release M until SYNVOICE announce the DESTINATION mode, e.g. “DESTINATION NORMAL”. q Press * to cycle through the selection list of mode DESTINATION, one key click corresponds to one step in the selection list. When * is released a SYNVOICE message informs of selected setting, e.g. “DESTINATION EXTERNAL FIVE”. If the selected setting is not the wanted one, press * again. q To confirm the setting press PTT. If the setting is not confirmed the menu will be exited without any changes. 2.3.4.2 CHANNEL When the CHANNEL setting is changed the unit enters the start menu and a new logon process is started. The unit will try to start/connect to a new network with the specified channel. Changing channel when the unit is master of the network is not recommended since the action will have serious effects for all slaves logged on to the network, all units will be disconnected from the network. If all users in the network should change channel MERGE CHANNEL, 2.3.4.11, or CHANGE CHANNEL, 2.3.4.12, should be used instead. 2.3.4.2.1 Change setting of mode CHANNEL q Press and release M until SYNVOICE announce the CHANNEL mode, e.g. “CHANNEL ONE”. q Press and release * to step through the channel list. If * is held down for more than 0.5 seconds a “LONG KEY CLICK”, 2.3.8.8, will be heard instead of the ordinary key click. One long key click corresponds to ten steps in the channel list. When * is released a SYNVOICE message informs of selected setting, e.g. “CHANNEL THREE ONE”. If the selected channel is not the wanted one, press * again. q To confirm the selected channel press PTT. If the setting is not confirmed the menu will be exited without any changes.

If the order is not confirmed the menu will be exited without any actions taken. 2.3.4.15 ORDER SYNCHRONIZE AP Mode ORDER SYNCHRONISE AP is used to synchronize an AP to a network. The AP will take over as Master of the network. Before the order is performed the channel set key should be pressed on the AP to prepare the AP for the synchronization, see chapter 3.3.3. The users of the network are notified with SYNVOICE message “AUTO SYNCHRONIZE ACCESS POINT” and then try to log on to the AP as Slaves. When all ordered units have answered to the order the order maker is notified with SYNVOICE message “ORDER SYNCHRONIZE ACCESS POINT OK” and then starts the synchronisation of the AP. If all units do not confirm the order the order maker is notified with SYNVOICE message “ORDER SYNCHRONIZE ACCESS POINT LOST” and then starts the synchronisation of the AP anyway. The users become aware of a successful synchronisation whit the log on message “LOG ON OK”. When a synchronisation fails the slaves will not be able to log on to the network. To start a new network one of the users must actively set his unit to Master, 2.3.4.4. 2.3.4.15.1 Synchronize AP q Press and release M until SYNVOICE announce the ORDER SYNCHRONIZE AP mode, i.e. “ORDER SYNCHRONIZE ACCESS POINT”. q To confirm the order press PTT. If the order is not confirmed the menu will be exited without any actions taken. 2.3.5 Monitor mode In normal mode the user transmits and receives audio from other users and external equipments. In Monitor mode the users audio will not be transmitted to external equipments but the user still receives all radio traffic, including traffic from external equipments. q To enter Monitor mode M is pressed and held down until SYNVOICE announce “MONITOR MODE”, approximately four seconds. q To exit Monitor mode M is pressed and held again until SYNVOICE announce “NORMAL MODE”.
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 18(37) 2.3.6 Keying of transmission When the user wants to speak to conferences the ME has to be keyed for transmission. The following three ways to get a user allocation exists: q Using the VOX function (voice triggered keying) q Using the PTT q Using the emergency PTT If the request is rejected the user gets a negative response by means of a tone in the headset. When the connection is granted the transmitter sends the outgoing speech and a side tone is heard in the user headset. The VOX function is keyed when the user speaks. When the PTT is pressed twice within 500 ms the emergency PTT function is activated. Emergency PTT means that an access of a voice channel is guaranteed. 2.3.7 Volume adjustment The + and – keys are used to adjust the volume. A “KEY CLICK” sound, 2.3.8.8, indicates a change of volume level. The volume is never completely shut off. If the user tries to decrease the volume lower then the minimum level, the “KEY CLICK LOW” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard instead of the normal key click. If the user tries to increase the volume higher than the maximum level, the “KEY CLICK HIGH” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard instead of the normal key click. To increase the volume one more step the + key is held for three seconds; the limiter value is then set to the LIMITER HIGH limit. At the same time a repeating warning signal is started to alert the user of the overridden limiter limit. If the – key is pressed the volume is reduced one level and the limiter is again set to the LIMITER NORMAL limit. 2.3.8 Status indications The unit’s status and operation are indicated with audio, tones and SYNVOICE, and visually with LEDs. 2.3.8.1 Out of range If the unit operate as Slave and the radio connection with the Master is lost, a “NO SERVICE” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard in the headset. At the same time the LED indicates OUT_OF_RANGE, 2.3.8.7. The Slave automatically tries to re-logon to the Master, i.e. if the user temporarily is out of range. It is configurable if same Master is required, this requirement can be overridden by pressing M. Overridden requirement is notified to the user with SYNVOICE message "ANY MASTER". If the re-logon attempts fails a ”NEG RESPONSE” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard in the headset. The user can anytime change network to log on by using the M and * keys and confirm change with PTT. A new user activated log on attempt does not require same Master. If the unit does not successfully logon to a network within a configurable time the Slave's power is automatically turned off. Before turning off the power the user is notified with SYNVOICE message "AUTO POWER OFF".

ACCESS POINT TRANSCEIVER (AP6803) 3.1 OVERVIEW An AP, Access Point Transceiver, is used when there is a need to have a fixed installation of a TruLink transceiver, e.g. in a vehicle, vessel or airborne platform. It basically has the same functionality and ability as the portable unit but has an increased audio capability for up to three analogue interfaces. An ME with two connectors can be connected to the AP. The keys on the ME can then be used for configuring the AP. FIGURE 3. Portable unit connected to an AP. The user interface control consists of a two-coloured LED and two keys on the AP unit and a number of keys and a recorded voice function, SYNVOICE, on a connected ME. The SYNVOICE is a sampled phrase database that is used as an audio display, instead of a visible display, to indicate selections and status. The operation of the AP is based on a few keys, of a connected ME, that are pressed in different combinations for accessing the parameter to operate/modify. The keys on the ME unit are: PTT, M, +, -, and *. For every key pressed, there is a KEY CLICK sound generated into the headset. 3.2 STATEMENT This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 30(37) 3.3 USER INTERFACE 3.3.1 Overview The functions accessed by the keys on the AP unit can be listed as follows: q LED on/off q Set channel FIGURE 4. Access point transceiver. 3.3.2 LED on/off The LED on the AP can be turned on or off with the LED key. 3.3.3 Set AP channel To synchronize an AP to an existing network the channel set key should be pressed. The network must actively choose to synchronize the AP as well, see chapter 2.3.4.15.
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 31(37) 3.3.4 Menu setting of AP When an ME unit is connected to an AP the user can control the menu and mode selections of the AP with the keys of the ME. The control is basically the same as controlling a stand-alone ME except for some not available functions e.g. no transmission request with the PTT key. 3.3.4.1 Start menu of connected AP When AP unit is powered on the user enters the start menu. The selected items in the start menu are listed by the SYNVOICE function. It is configurable which modes should be included in the start menu but the modes in the start menu can at most be: q CHANNEL [channel list] q UNIT MODE [master/slave] Key PTT is used for confirming settings. To browse through the menu the M key is used and the * key is used to change a setting. If the start menu looks like the list above M is pressed one time to select UNIT MODE, to change the settings of mode UNIT MODE the * key is used. If PTT is pressed the changed setting is saved and the SYNVOICE function again lists the settings in the menu. If the setting is not confirmed within a configurable time the setting is changed back to default mode. If the user any time in the start menu presses PTT when no changes has been made to the settings since last time they were listed, the logon procedure starts immediately. The logon procedure will also be activated if no action is taken within a configurable time; the unit then starts to logon with the settings listed last time. A successful logon is announced with SYNVOICE message “ACCESS POINT”. If UNIT MODE is included in the start menu the user can choose to either start a new network as a Master, 3.3.4.1.1, or to logon to an existing network as a Slave, 3.3.4.1.2. 3.3.4.1.1 Starting a network To start a new network UNIT MODE must be set to “MASTER”. If the default setting is “SLAVE” the setting is changed with keys M and * and confirmed by pressing PTT. When the logon procedure starts the unit will start a new network with the selected channel in the start menu. A successfully started network is announced to the user by SYNVOICE message ”ACCESS POINT”. 3.3.4.1.2 Logging on to a network To be able to logon to an existing network UNIT MODE must be set to “SLAVE”, there can only be one “MASTER” in a network. The network can be selected by the mode “CHANNEL”, the Slave must have same channel number as the Master of the network. When the logon procedure starts the unit will try to logon to the Master of the network. A successfully logon to a network is announced to the user by SYNVOICE message ”ACCESS POINT”. If no network is available a “NEG RESPONS” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard and then a “NO SERVICE” tone, 2.3.8.8, is repeated until next logon try. If logon fails due to mismatch of system configuration SYNVOICE message “CONFIGURATION ERROR” is heard in the headset and then the “NO SERVICE” tone is turned on until next logon try.
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 32(37) The unit tries to logon until it succeeds. The user can access the start menu and change settings until the unit successfully logs on to the network. 3.3.4.2 Normal menu of connected AP When the unit has logged on or started a network the user can access the normal menu with the M key. It is configurable which modes should be included in the normal menu but the modes in the normal menu can at most be: q CHANNEL [channel list] q UNIT MODE [master/slave] The M key is used for cycling between the modes in the menu and * is used for changing the settings of the selected mode. PTT is used for confirming the settings. When a setting has been confirmed a “CONFIRMED” tone is heard in the headset and the unit exits the menu. If no action is taken, within a configurable time, when the menu has been accessed the unit exits the menu again, a “MENU EXIT” tone is then generated. Pressing * or PTT has no effect when the menu has not been accessed. 3.3.4.2.1 Mode CHANNEL When the CHANNEL setting is changed the unit enters the start menu and a new logon process is started. The unit will try to start/connect to a new network with the specified channel. Changing channel when the unit is master of the network is not recommended since the action will have serious effects for all slaves logged on to the network, all units will be disconnected from the network. 3.3.4.2.1.1 Change setting of mode CHANNEL q Press and release M until SYNVOICE announce the CHANNEL mode, e.g. “CHANNEL ONE”. q Press and release * to step through the channel list. If * is hold down for more than 0.5 seconds a “LONG KEY CLICK”, 2.3.8.8, will be heard instead of the ordinary key click. One long key click corresponds to ten steps in the channel list. When * is released a SYNVOICE message informs of selected setting, e.g. “CHANNEL THREE ONE”. If the selected channel is not the wanted one, press * again. q To confirm the selected channel press PTT. If the setting is not confirmed the menu will be exited without any changes. 3.3.4.2.2 Mode UNIT MODE UNIT MODE specifies if the unit is operating as Slave or Master. Changing’s of this setting should be cautiously considered. If the unit is operating as Slave and the mode is changed to Master the unit will be disconnected from the net and the unit will start a new network. However the consequences will be more serious if the unit is operating as Master. All slaves will be disconnected from the network and the unit, the former Master, will try to log on to the disconnected network.
Saab Communication Doc.nr: PR2060F0 Issue: 1.0 RESTRICTED – COMMERCIAL Users Manual TruLink Page: 33(37) 3.3.4.2.2.1 Change setting of mode UNIT MODE q Press and release M until SYNVOICE announce the UNIT MODE mode, e.g. “SLAVE”. q Press and release * once to change setting to MASTER or SLAVE. A SYNVOICE message informs of selected setting, e.g. “MASTER”. If the selected setting is not the wanted one, press * again. q To confirm the setting press PTT. If the setting is not confirmed the menu will be exited without any changes. 3.3.5 Status indications The unit’s status and operation are indicated visually with LEDs on the AP. If an ME is connected to the AP some indications also appears as sounds and SYNVOICE messages in the ME connected headset. 3.3.5.1 Connected AP Out of range If the unit operate as Slave and the radio connection with the Master is lost, a “NO SERVICE” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard in the headset. At the same time the AP LED indicates OUT_OF_RANGE, 2.3.8.7. The Slave automatically tries to re-logon to the Master, i.e. if the user temporarily is out of range. It is configurable if the same Master is required this requirement can be overridden by pressing M of a connected ME. If the re-logon attempts fails a ”NEG RESPONSE” sound, 2.3.8.8, is heard in the ME connected headset. If an ME is connected the user can anytime change network to log on by using the M and * keys and confirm change with PTT.A new user activated log on attempt does not require same Master. If the unit does not successfully logon to a network within a configurable time the AP starts a network at last used channel. 3.3.5.2 Connected AP Key-click Every key pressed on a connected ME generates a key-click sound to the headset. 3.3.5.3 Power-on BIT failure If any errors are encountered during the power-on BIT testing, the LED indicates MALFUNCTION, 2.3.8.7.
