Connection with the MDT-500-2 mobile radioYour MDT-500-2 mobile radio works with Colour Consoles and Hand-basedConsoles, with the optional provision of the Applications Interface Unit(AIU).Console and Application Interface UnitThe MDT-500-2 mobile radio supports the connection of a Colour Console ora Handset-based Console (via an Interface and Handsfree box), or anApplications Interface Unit, which is similar to a console but does not have akeypad and display.The MDT-500-2 mobile radio supports Colour Console (SCC3) connection.SCC3 allows you to connect two of the following audio accessories at thesame time:a fist microphonea handset audio accessorybuilt-in handsetup to one hands-free kitVAC speaker microphoneIf two users are using the same mobile radio, operational procedures arerequired to ensure that the actions of the two users do not conflict.On some configurations it is possible to have a hands-free kit attached. If thisis the case, only one of the remote microphones is live during a call. Theremote microphone which is live is the one attached to the console whichaccepted or made the call or switched the call to hands-free.14 MDT-500-2 – 05/2017
Mobile radio audio controlThe mobile radio supports the concept of a single controlling audio accessoryfor a call. The controlling audio accessory is the one in control of the call, andthe only one on which the microphone becomes active.Tip: When a fist microphone or hands-free kit is used, the received audiois directed to the loudspeaker connected to the mobile unit. When ahandset is used, the received audio is directed to the handset earpiece.The controlling audio accessory is normally the Remote Microphone used inconjunction with the loudspeaker, i.e. the hands-free kit or ‘Public’ mode. Tomake a different accessory become the controlling accessory, press the PTTbutton on that accessory or by take it off hook. If the new controllingaccessory has an earpiece then normally this is used for received audioinstead of the Loudspeaker (‘Private’ mode).When in ‘Private’ mode you can switch to ‘Public’ mode by pressing thehands free soft key (if configured). Taking a handset off hook, or using itsPTT will return to ‘Private’ mode.While the controlling accessory is not the Remote Microphone, you mayswitch to another accessory by pressing the PTT button on that accessory.Taking that accessory off-hook does not change the controlling accessory.This allows a second user to listen to received audio on another accessory.If the controlling accessory is placed on-hook this clears the call unlesscustomised differently. Other accessories can be put back on-hook withoutclearing the call in progress.All earpiece audio is left on all the time in order that multiple users may listento the received audio.User Guide 15
