5.2 Working modes.
1. There are three working modes: network mode (V+D), direct mode (DMO) and DMO-
GATE mode. In network mode (V+D), the equipment will be operational when the system
has been successfully registered. Then the display will show the symbols (Valid
network indicator) and (signal level indicator).
2. During the system registration and network access process, the SVC LED will be lit up
continuously in red, and when a valid network is found it will flash and try to register into
it. When the register is complete, a characteristic programmable acoustic signal will be
heard, the SVC LED will turn green and the screen will display the message “In service”.
If the equipment is unable to access a network, the display will show “No service” and the
SVC LED will stay red. Even if the equipment has not registered, it is possible to access
the Main Menu, to select the Direct working Mode, for example, without need for
infrastructure.
3. In DMO mode, the SVC LED will be green and the symbol (Direct mode active
indicator) will be displayed in the symbol line of the display (Upper line). In this mode, the
symbol (valid network indicator) is not displayed.
4. If the equipment has the DMO-GATE option available, this working mode can be
selected, which will enable the transfer of group calls from the network to terminals in
DMO mode and vice versa.
5. The equipment may be configured to start in any of the available modes or it is possible
to change the mode manually through the “Working modes” menu.

8 BASIC FUNCTIONS
8.1 Group Calls
Group calls will enable you to communicate with a group of users that are allowed to
participate in the communication. Select GRP mode with the soft key ‘Mode’.
A group call is always semi-duplex with direct signalling: the group selected on screen is
directly connected by pressing PTT, and it is not possible to listen and speak at the same time.
The groups are organised in ranges (or folders). Each range can have several groups and
their distribution is established by programming.
To select the range and group, use the navigation keys .
Alphabetic search will only be applied to the groups included in the selected range.
Once the user has selected one of the ranges, it will only be possible to move through the
groups included in that range. The groups will be sorted alphabetically within each range. The
selected range / group is displayed on the screen.
To change the range, press the soft key ‘Range’.
When a group has been selected, its status will be displayed on screen for a few seconds. The
call to this group will proceed if the group is available. If it isn’t, pressing PTT will display the
message “Non-valid group”.
The user must keep the PTT key pressed to send the call, and the rest of the users in the
group will listen directly.
The STS led will turn red (transmission) or green (reception).
User Manual
27 en
The speaker’s identifier (or name if available in the phone book) will be displayed on screen.
The group call is directly received, with no action necessary on the part of the user. The
equipment will inform the user that a group call has been received with a short alert tone and
the name of the user speaking at any given moment as well as the name of the group will be
displayed on screen.
The call will be disconnected by pressing the soft key ‘Hang’ or the AUX key of the handheld
microphone or simply by releasing PTT and waiting for the system to disconnect.
The group call will be finished by the system if it detects that for a certain time no user has
requested permission to transmit.

en
8.2 Individual calls
An individual call is a call between 2 users. No other user will listen to your call. It can be
made to numbers on the TETRA network (private calls) or to numbers on the external
telephone network (PSTN or PABX telephone calls).
MDT-400 / DT-410 will enable you to make the following individual calls:
- Semi-Duplex with direct signalling: The caller has permission to speak first. It is not
possible to speak and listen simultaneously.
- Semi-Duplex with “hook” signalling: The receiver must answer (unhook) first. It is not
possible to speak and listen simultaneously.
- Duplex: The signalling is hook (the called party must answer first). It is possible to speak
and listen simultaneously. It is not necessary to press PTT to speak.
To make a private semi-duplex call:
- Enter the number of the person you wish to call or select it from the phone book.
- With the soft key ‘Mode’ (lower right-hand part of the screen) select the type of call you
wish to make (PRV, PSTN, PABX).
- If the call you wish to make is direct signalling, press the PTT button and speak directly.
When you wish to stop speaking, release the button. Then your interlocutor can carry out
the same operation: press PTT and talk.
- For semi-duplex calls with Hook signalling, start the call by pressing the AUX button on
the hand-held microphone. This option must be enabled by programming. The user must
accept (unhook) the call first. When the call has been established, the user who wishes to
speak must keep PTT pressed.
- There are two ways to finish any type of private call: By pressing the AUX button on the
hand-held microphone or by the soft key ‘Hang’.
If Discrete Mode is active ( ), a semi-duplex incoming call with direct signalling will be
converted to hook signalling.

9 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
9.1 Emergency calls
By keeping key pressed, an emergency call is begun, which has maximum
priority and will cancel any call being made at that moment.
This type of call can be configured by programming, and can be: private semi-duplex direct
call, group call, broadcast call, telephone call (PSTN, PABX) or status message.
It is also possible to configure the emergency call in DMO, being able to configure a different
call destination in V+D and DMO.
The emergency icon will be displayed flashing on the display.
If the equipment cannot establish the call or send the status message, it will continue trying,
unless the user cancels the call by pressing the emergency key again.
After a loss of service or equipment being switched off, the emergency call will try to be re-
established when the equipment is operational again if the parameter “Continue emergency
call” is enabled by programming.
If the emergency call is a voice call, there is an initial automatic transmission time (5 seconds
by default) for semi-duplex calls, without having to press PTT.
When this time is over, the user must press PTT to transmit as usual (if it is a semi-duplex
call).
This type of call can also be initiated by activating an external input (available in the rear
connector) to which, for example, an emergency pressure pad can be connected. Consult your
Service Provider about the availability of this option.
User Manual
33 en
It is possible to configure two additional codes – emergency codes – such as 112, 999 or
others.
When the user enters these codes on the keyboard, the MDT-400 sends the emergency call
as programmed.
In addition, the sending of standard emergency message can also be configured (Status code:
0) just before carrying out the event programmed for the emergency key.
Another possible configuration, only available by programming, is to define the PTT as priority
within the active call. This option enables the definition of priority users, who will be able to
interrupt the person speaking during a call in progress.
9.2 Working modes: Direct mode
This special mode, called DMO, enables you to communicate directly with other TETRA
equipment without needing to use a network.
To access DMO mode, select the Working Modes/DMO menu, or press the rapid access
configured in your equipment for this function.
In DMO mode, you may carry out group calls and individual calls. The emergency button will
also be available, with which you can carry out a call with maximum priority (pre-emptive), as
detailed in the previous section.
Each group programmed to work in DMO mode has a frequency associated, so that a change
of group implies a change of frequency and only equipment with the same group selected will
be able to communicate with one another in this working mode.
Individual calls will be carried out using the active channel, i.e., the one associated to the
selected group.
User Manual

en
Group calls
To start a group call in DMO mode, select the group with the navigation arrows keys and press
PTT. The operation is similar to a group call in network mode.
Individual calls
To start a private call, first dial the destination number or select it from the phone book. Then
press PTT.
9.3 Working modes: DMO-GATE mode
This section describes the DMO and V+D functionality supported by MDT-400 working in
DMO-Gateway mode.
To access DMO-Gateway mode, select the Working modes/Gateway menu or press the
rapid access F + #.
In this working mode, the MDT-400 will act as a bridge in the communications between
equipment in DMO mode and the infrastructure.
All the supplementary services are disabled in this working mode. The Data Packet
Transmission service is also disabled, as is the sending and receiving of status and text
messages, by both the user and the application.
DMO-GATE enables communication between DMO and TMO in end to end encrypted mode.
The only phone book that exists in the equipment working in this mode is an assignment table
where a group configured in V+D is matched to another group configured in DMO.
The same groups stored in the group phone book are used.
The programming tool creates the DMO - V+D matching.
The scanning lists are not enabled.
User Manual

All the audio and voice signalling is disabled in this working mode, except the tones for
establishing, maintaining and ending calls.
9.4 Security
The equipment has the following security services:
- PIN code
From the User settings/PIN code menu you can enable or disable the request for a PIN
code on turning on the equipment as well as modify this code.
- Authentication
MDT-400 / DT-410 supports the authentication of the radio equipment by the
infrastructure, which ensures that the user trying to connect to the network has a valid
permission to do so.
This service requires the equipment to have its corresponding code installed.
To change the code you must contact your Service Provider.
- Remote enabling / disabling of the equipment.
The MDT-400 / DT-410 can be enabled or disabled from the infrastructure, through the
air interface.
This disablement can be temporary or permanent.
Recovery of a temporally disabled unit is carried out by the infrastructure. In the case of
permanent disablement contact your Service Provider to have the equipment put back
into operation.

- Air Interface encryption (optional)
This service protects communication between the radio equipment and the infrastructure
from possible undesired listening in. This encryption is only carried out in networks that
support this service.
The encryption algorithms for the Air Interface encryption which are available in the MDT-
400 are: TEA1, TEA2, TEA3.
- End-to-end encryption (optional)
This functionality is particularly interesting for those users who regard their transmissions
as very sensitive, and whose Security Policy requires all such data to be appropriately
encrypted whilst in transit between the end terminals in any system.
End-to-end encryption addresses these concerns by encrypting data within the
transmitting terminal, and only decrypting it within the receiving terminal(s). The plain text
user data is never exposed within the infrastructure.
Batteries and accumulators
If your terminal includes End to End Encryption option, it may have a
3.6 V lithium battery, with low self-discharge rate.
In case you need to extract the battery from the terminal, consult
your official dealer.
Don’t dispose of these products as unsorted domestic waste.I
To install or change the codes you must contact your Service Provider..

option, provided that this option has been pre-programmed. You may choose a new work
network from the list of permitted networks available.
9.6 Supplementary services
The following TETRA supplementary services are also available in your MDT-400 / DT-410
terminal (none of them requires any additional action on the part of the user in the Options
menu):
- Late entry:
This supplementary service enables the device to join a group call that is already in
progress.
- Ambience listening:
Ambience listening enables a control centre or dispatcher to listen in to a unit and hear
what is going on around it, without giving the user any visual or acoustic indication of this
call. Ambience listening is only possible is the unit is not already occupied with another
call. Likewise, the supplementary ambience listening service does not prevent the
affected user from making or receiving other calls.
- DGNA: Dynamic group assignment. Both individually and group addressed DGNA
groups are supported
- Fallback mode (local mode):
MDT-400 / DT-410 support working in a cell in local mode (disconnected from the rest of
the system) indicating this situation to the user through the MMI.
The equipment will avoid registering in local mode cells unless there is no other available
cell. The services available in this mode will depend on the system configuration.
Consult your supplier about other services and special options available.

9.9 GSM option
The MDT-400 can incorporate an internal GSM module.
By default, the equipment will work with the TETRA network, and when it detects that it is not
possible to operate under TETRA, it automatically switches (if the equipment is configured in
this way) to GSM mode.
It is also possible to select GSM mode through the menu, accessing the Working mode
submenu from the Main Menu. This screen shows the options V+D, DMO, DMO-GATE and
GSM, not allowing direct changes between GSM <-> DMO.
While the equipment operates in GSM, TETRA services will remain active: If TETRA calls are
received, they are rejected with the “User called engaged” cause. The messages received are
stored in the memory and can be consulted on returning to TETRA.
As soon as the equipment detects the recovery of TETRA coverage, it again returns to this
mode.
9.10 I/O Programmable option
This option can be chosen to replace the vehicle option installed by default.
When this option is enabled, the ‘I/O Programmable’ screen enables the selection of the
desired functions for each of the external lines of the rear connector.
