User Guide - 38 - en 8 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 8.1 Emergency call There is a special orange button, at the top of the terminal, with which you can make emergency calls. The emergency calls may be: - Group call (to a specific group in the phonebook, to the selected group or to another special group not included in the user phonebook). - Individual call (to a private TETRA address or to a telephone number, e.g. 112). - A status message sent to an individual or group address. The main characteristic of these calls is that they have maximum priority and interrupt any other ongoing calls. The emergency icon appears when the call is active, whether you have initiated the call or you are the recipient. If the call is not connected, the terminal retries periodically until it connects, or until the action is cancelled by pressing the emergency button again. If the emergency call is a half-duplex voice call, an initial time can be programmed when the terminal will transmit directly without having to press the PTT. Besides, being able to send the standard emergency status (status code: 0) it can be configured just before sending the programmed event to the emergency key.
User Guide - 39 - en Another possible configuration is to set the PTT priority as pre-emptive. This option (only available by programming) will allow you to define priority users who will be able to interrupt the talking party within a call. 8.2 Operation modes: Direct mode This special operation mode, called DMO, allows you to communicate directly with other TETRA terminals without having to use a network. To access DMO mode, select the Modes\DMO menu or press the quick access you have configured in the terminal for this function. In DMO mode you can make group calls and individual calls. The emergency button is also available, with which you can make a maximum priority call (pre-emptive) as explained in the previous section. In this mode can made sending and receiving text and state messages. Each group programmed to work in DMO mode is associated with a frequency, so changing the group involves changing the frequency and only terminals with the same group selected may communicate with each other in this operation mode. Individual calls are made using the active channel, i.e., that associated with the selected group. Group calls To make a group call in DMO mode, select the group with the arrows and press PTT. The procedure is similar to a group call in network mode.
User Guide - 40 - en Individual calls To start a private call, dial the destination number or select it from the phonebook. Then, press PTT. Before making the call, you can select a special function called Presence check, with which you will receive a message if the user you are calling is not operating in the selected DMO channel. 8.3 Security The terminal has encryption services to ensure the confidentiality of your communications.

Ambience listening only is set-up if the called unit is not already engaged in a call. In the same way, Ambience Listening supplementary service does not prevent the affected user from making or receiving other calls. - DGNA: Dynamic Group Number Assignment. - Fall-back mode (local mode): HTT-500 supports working in cells in fallback mode (disconnected from the rest of the system) indicating this situation to the MMI user.
User Guide - 42 - en The Terminal avoids registration in fall-back cells unless there are no other available cells. Services available in this mode will depend on system configuration. Consult your supplier for other available services and special options. 8.6 Data services From the menu Settings\Data settings, options ‘Voice & Data’ and ‘Only Data’ can be selected. - With ‘Voice & Data’, voice services and short data messages (text messaging and status) will be activated simultaneously and managed through the user interface. - With ‘Only Data’, voice services will be ignored and the terminal will enter into a data working mode, with which an external application will be able to use the terminal to send data. Data connection is performed through the auxiliary connector and it will be configured with the following available methods: - Packet Data (Mono and multislot TETRA services) - Standard TETRA Protocol PEI: AT commands to remotely send short data messages (text messages and status messages). Consult your service supplier for details on how to configure your terminal for this service. 8.7 GPS receiver The HTT-500 may incorporate an internal GPS receiver that enables you to know its exact location at all times.
User Guide - 43 - en If the terminal has this option, you can access this information from the menu Extras\GPS info. The current location position is displayed on the screen. When the GPS module gets a valid position, the text will be shown in black colour. The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location co-ordinates, maximizing your view of clear, unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance. Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky) the GPS feature of your terminal will not work. In addition, via programming, you can configure various parameters for sending the GPS position to a central application which will manage this location information. Consult your service supplier for details on how to configure your terminal for this service. 8.8 Bluetooth The HTT-500 may incorporate an internal Bluetooth® module that allows you to detect and connect to wireless audio devices complying with HFP1.5 bluetooth profile.
