Remote Control
There are two types of remote control, Short Data Service (SDS) Remote Control and Status Remote
Control.
4.6.7.1
Status Remote Control
Status Remote Control is a feature that provides limited control of the radio, unlike Short Data Service
(SDS) Remote Control.
Only one type of remote control can be active on a radio; either SDS or Status.
The following tasks can be assigned remotely to a radio:
Play loud tone until user interaction
The radio plays a loud tone as in the Man Down (henceforth known as Fall Alert) feature until you
unlock the keypad (if needed) and press the appropriate soft key labeled Exit. The tone is played
through the speaker even if an accessory is attached.
The tone is not emitted when the radio is in one of the following states:
• In a call
• Temporarily disabled
• Pseudo Off Mode
• Ambience Listening Mode
• Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI)
• Emergency Mode
• Silent Emergency Mode
• Covert Mode
Send firmware version and TEI
The radio sends back an SDS message with its firmware version and TEI.
NOTE: If the sending Individual Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI) is not on the Allowed ISSIs list,
the receiving radio ignores the task.
