119 Field Definitions Silent AlarmThis feature is not compatible with Emergency Receive. To enable Silent Alarm, make sure Emergency Receive is disabled on the RADIO WIDE DISPLAY OPTIONS screen (F4/F3/F6). Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this feature is enabled, the radio will operate silently when transmitting an emergency signal. No audible or visual indication of the transmission will occur. Emergency operation must be enabled on the MDC SYSTEMS screen (F4/F6/F4/F3) and/or the TRUNKING PERSONALITY EMERGENCY OPTIONS screen (F4/F4/F4/F8) and/or the ASTRO SYSTEM screen (F4/ F6/F5/F3). In addition, the Emergency button must be configured on the RADIO WIDE BUTTON CONFIGURATION screen (F4/F3/F3/F2). Note: The Silent Alarm feature is NOT compatible with Emergency Receive (F4/F3/F6). To enable Silent Alarm, make sure Emergency Receive is disabled. Channel Delay (sec)Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Emergency Channel Delay or enter a value directly. The radio must be on a channel for the time specified here before it can transmit an emergency signal. For Emergency operation, this delay is sometimes desired to prevent the radio from sending an emergency signal on an undesired channel (which may occur while the user is changing channels and pressing the Emergency button). The valid range of values is 0 (zero) to 7 seconds. Keep AliveThis field will be visible for Portables only. If this field is enabled, the radio will remain powered-on during an Emergency transmission regardless of the position of the power switch.

Field Definitions
Ultra Narrow IF FilterUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Ultra Narrow IF Filter
Bandwidth value. The 7.8 kHz Ultra Narrow IF Filter Bandwidth value
is designed for radios operating on channels with narrow bandwidths.
These bandwidths are used in environments where adjacent channel
interference is not a significant problem (Europe for instance). The
5.76 kHz Ultra Narrow IF Filter Bandwidth value is designed to provide
greater levels of adjacent channel interference protection for radios
operating on channels with narrow bandwidths.
Cyclic KeyingUse the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable or disable the Cyclic Keying
feature. When the Cyclic Keying feature is enabled, power ramp up/
down of transmit power is enabled in order to meet both the ETS-300
and FTZ (Cyclic Keying) requirements in addition to the timing
requirements for the existing MPT 1327 Trunking system.
Note: Cyclic Keying should be enabled ONLY for radios used in
Europe.
Rotary Light TimeThis field will be visible for ASTRO XTS 3000 models only. Use the UP/
DOWN arrow keys to select the desired value. The setting in this field
determines the duration for which the Rotary Switch will remain
illuminated after the Light Button is pressed. For radios equipped with
a display, the Display Light Time (F4/F3/F6) will be automatically
adjusted to match the Rotary Light Time that you choose in this field.
This, in effect, results in synchronized behavior between the Rotary
Switch and the radio display lighting.
Valid entries range from five to 60 seconds in five-second increments.
A value of Infinite is also available, in which case, the light(s) will
remain on until the Light button is pressed again.

122 Auto Rotary LightThis field will be visible for ASTRO XTS 3000 models only. Use the UP/ DOWN arrow keys to select the desired value. If this feature is enabled, the Rotary Switch will remain illuminated after the Light button is pressed. For radios equipped with a display, the Auto Light (F4/F3/F6) will be automatically adjusted to match your selection for Auto Rotary Light. This, in effect, result in synchronized behavior between the Rotary Switch and the radio display lighting. The light(s) will time out and automatically turn off based on the duration selected for the Rotary Light Time feature. Motorcycle RadioThis field is a read-only field which will be visible for Motorcycle models only. This is the radio wide flag that indicates whether or not the radio is a motorcycle radio. Evacuation ToneThis field will be visible for Portables only. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. When PTT button is pressed causing the radio to transmit in a group call mode and the top mounted button (hard-coded) is pushed, an evacuation tone (high/low) is sent to the entire talkgroup and to the initiating radios speaker. De-keying the radio de-activates the tone. Soft Power OffThis field will be visible for Portables only. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Soft Power Off Button. When the Soft Power Off field is disabled, the radio will turn off when the power switch is placed in the Off position. However, if a Soft Off Button is selected, the radio will not power off until the power switch is positioned in the Off position AND the selected side button is pressed. Time-Out Timer Table (sec)Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys select the four Time-Out Timer (TOT) values available to each personality. Each Conventional channel or Trunking personality may reference one of the four values that are defined in this field. TOT values range from 15 to 465 seconds in 15- second increments. A value of Infinite is also available. If the radio is transmitting and the TOT time expires, the radio will automatically be de-keyed and a continuous alert tone will be generated as long as the PTT button is pressed. To continue transmitting, the PTT button must be released and the radio re-keyed. Extended DEKThis field controls whether the extended DEK features are available. Please ensure that your radio’s firmware version supports these features before enabling this field. Note: This field is for Mobiles only. The extended DEK features are: StsX - Direct Status MsgX - Direct Message Mode - Direct Mode The factory default is Enabled

This screen is a multi-level menu that is used to change, view, or
modify codeplug features and option configurations that affect both
Conventional and Trunking operation. Typically, when you begin to
edit a codeplug, you must access this menu and configure Radio wide
options first by working your way through the screens located below
this menu. This will allow the options on other screens to reflect Radio
wide options. Some fields will not be visible if the radio does not support
the options that they relate to.
The radio is shipped from the factory with a preset feature and option
configuration, including the configuration of the control buttons,
