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.

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".

message, “BATTERY” is given regularly, to alert the user of an empty battery. At the same time
the LED changes to LOW_BATT, 2.3.8.7.
When 5-10 minutes is the estimated remaining operation time of the battery in the ME the warning
message changes to “BATTERY EMPTY”.
When the battery in the unit is starting to be charged by an external power supply the LED
changes to CHARGE_BATT, 2.3.8.7, and the warning messages stops.
2.3.8.3 Transmission rejection
When the user wants to transmit by pressing PTT or activating the VOX function and don’t get a
granted voice slot, a “NEG RESPONSE” sound, 2.3.8.8, is given to the user.
2.3.8.4 Transmission indication
When the user transmits, a side tone is generated to the users headset.
2.3.8.5 Key-click
Every key pressed generates a key-click sound to the headset.
2.3.8.6 Power-on BIT failure
If any errors are encountered during the power-on BIT testing, the LED indicates

3. 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

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.

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.

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.
