THE SMART MIGRATION FROM ANALOG TO AN APCO P25 DIGITAL RADIO SYSTEM

APCO Project P25 Digital migration is now an inevitable trend for Federal, State and Localgovernment users of 2 way radios. To ease your migration to P25, the IC-F70D and F80D seriesoffer an ideal solution. Dual mode P25 digital and FM mode operations per channel allow you toseamlessly add to an existing FM radio network. The P25 digital software can be reserved forfuture upgrade (depending on the version). The rich FM features such as built-in multiple tonesignalings (including MDC1200) and rugged submersible waterproof construction ensure aflexible, long life radio. The IC-F70D and F80D are the smart choice for current and future public safety communication needs.

2-3 IP Classification Codes

A simple explanation of the IP rating system is written below. Please refer to more specialized informationmaterial if you wish to know more.International Standard IEC 60529 outlines an international classification system that describes the sealingcharacteristics of electrical equipment. The classification system defines the level of protection provided byenclosures to prevent the ingress of foreign objects and moisture into the electrical equipment.The classification system uses the IP code, or Ingress Protection code, to define the level of seal.An IP number contains two numbers (i.e. IP67) in most instances which relate to the level of protectionprovided by an enclosure or housing. Either number may be shown as X (i.e. IPX6 / IP7X) to indicate theX part is not tested.

2-6 Key Features of MDC 1200 Signalling

StatusStatusStatusStatusYou can set up to 16 conditions such as on duty, atlunch or in route and send your status to anotherunit or the dispatch. You can also request* to send astatus message from other unit to know their currentstatus.

The MDC 1200 system enhances the transceivers signalling capabilities withSelective call, PTT ID and emergency call functions. It is ideal for a wide variety

of business and industries including security services, plant security,transportation, etc,. Icom's MDC 1200 compatible models easily integrate intoan existing MDC 1200 fleet cost effectively, while providing the advantages ofIcom quality and value.

What is MDC 1200?What is MDC 1200?What is MDC 1200?What is MDC 1200?

MDC 1200 is a signalling protocol developed byMotorola. The protocol allows users to send andreceive short status messages as well as messagingupdates.

The 1200 in the MDC 1200 name signifies that data is

transmitted at the high speed rate of 1200 bits persecond (Baud) MSK modulation.

MDC signalling is generally managed from a remotetransmitter environment such as Police or Firedispatch console.

When the radio receives the stun command,all functions will be locked out until the revivecommand is received. The radio can also send radiostun and revive commands.

Other featuresOther featuresOther featuresOther features Radio check function* allows you to verify if another

radio is within communication range Up to 5 different combinations of MDC profiles are

available in a radio Call log displays the received call history including

type of call, caller name and called time

MessageMessageMessageMessageYou can send and receive a preprogrammed textmessage instead of voice. 16 message codes areprogrammable. It improves channel efficiency bysending messages in digital format.

SelCall (SelectiveSelCall (SelectiveSelCall (SelectiveSelCall (Selective Call)Call)Call)Call)

In the MDC 1200 system, each radio has a unique IDnumber to make a selective call. The radio memorizesalias names and ID numbers may be used in the table.

Call alertCall alertCall alertCall alertThe call alert function allows you to send a beep soundinstead of a voice call.

The emergency call function allows you to send anemergency signal until the dispatch acknowledges theemergency signal. If the dispatch acknowledges anemergency message, the dispatcher can make theradio transmit whatever the radio microphone picks upfor a preprogrammed period.

Prior to using the transceiver for the first time, the battery pack must be fully charged for optimum life and operation.

1 Rotate [VOL] to turn power ON.2 If the transceiver is programmed for a start up

password, input the digit codes as directed by yourdealer. 10-keypad* can be used for password input.

*IC-F70DT/T or IC-F80DT/T only The Key in the table below can be used for

password input.

The transceiver detects numbers in the same blockas identical.Therefore 01234 and 56789 are the same.

When your system employs tone signaling (excludingCTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessaryprior to voice transmission. The tone signalling employedmay be a selective calling system which allows you tocall specific station(s) only and prevent unwantedstations from contacting you.1 Select the desired TX code channel, 2/5-tone code,
