2To our Valued Customers:Thank-you for purchasing an INFINITY two way portable transceiver.Designed in the USA, built in Hong Kong, this robust, compact, easy touse radio incorporates the latest technologies, providing reliable per-formance at an unprecedented low cost. Before operating this radio,please read this manual carefully. Failure to do so may void warranty. RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY SAFETY INFORMATION This transceiver has been tested an complies with both national and inter- national standards in regards to Radio Frequency (RF) energy emitted and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF energy. The radio complies with FCC and IEEE guidelines for occupational use/controlled RF expo- sure environments, where duty talk cycles should be limited to 50% talk, 50% listen based on recommendations by the National Council on radia- tion Protection and Measurement as well as the American National Stan- dards Institute. Reference: FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01 Supplement C; 47 CFR 1.1307; 1.1310 and 2.1093 ANSI C95.1.1992 ANSI C95.3.1992 Ministry of Health Canada Safety Code 6 Controlling your exposure to RF energy To control your exposure to RF and comply with the maximum exposure limits for occupational/controlled environments, follow these guidelines: 1) Do not talk (transmit) on the radio more than the rated transmit duty cycle. This is important because the radio radiates more energy when it is transmitting than when it is receiving. 2) When listing and talking on the radio, hold it upright in front of your face so that it is at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from any part of your face. Keeping the radio at the recommended distance is important because exposure to RF decreases rapidly the further away the antenna is from your body 39Once configured to send out a Page:1. Select the channel to the Group or Team or Mem-bers that you wish to Page by using the channelselector.NOTE: As there are 128 channels available for programming,we suggest that all channels that will be used to send out apage could be entered and programmed as well as identifiedseparately as such. Ex: Channel 30 corresponds to FDPAGE(as seen on the LCD screen for Fire Dept.); Channel 31 corre-sponds to EMS PG. (for EMS Members). Then perhaps pro-gram in Channel positions 1 and 2 these channels with stdCTCSS PL tones and use without page feature. (Calling themFIRE and EMS, using them for regular radio traffic)As a programming consideration, if this radio is to be used toreceive traffic from responders answering the page sent out bythe user of this radio, these PASGE OUT channel should be setNOT TO DECODE or RECEIVE any pages, this so that the User(in this case Chief) may hear the responders reply to the mes-sage or information sent.>If this is the case, then a separate DECODE/Receive channelshould then be set up to act as a paging receiver for the user toreceive pages from dispatch or others. That channel in turn willnot be set up to ENCODE or send out a page.Ex. Channel 40 corresponds to FDPGRX (as seen on the LCDScreen); Channel 41 corresponds to EMSPRX2. To send out a Page and Message:Press and hold down the Orange Buttonuntil you hear a “Beep” from the Radio’sspeaker.With the Orange Button being held down, both theRED LED atop the radio and the RF Power Bar meteron the lower part of the LCD will illuminate indicatingthat your radio is transmitting.When the “Beep” is heard, the transmitter will shut down. TheRED TX LED on the top of the radio and the RF Power Meter onthe LCD will turn off. Then use the PTT button and speak nor-mally into the microphone, announcing the details of the pagemessage to all units that were paged that were on that channel.

38To Generate a Call (Tone) Group Page(Use by Fire Chief, Command Staff etc.)First: Your radio must be programmed to send a page(set to encode)Double Click on the “Tone Options”box on the corresponding channelThis box then pops upand should show thatthis channel may receive(Decode) as well as sendout ( Call/Encode) a 2tone page.The Tone Frequenciesfor both Encode (Call)and Decode (Receive)are set up as shown onpage 33.3OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS & SAFETY GUIDELINESRF ENERGY EXPOSURE IS DETERMINED PRIMARILY BYTHE DISTANCE TO AND THE POWER OF THE TRANSMIT-TING DEVICE. In general, RF exposure is minimized when the low-est possible power is used and transmission time is kept to a minimumconsistent with effective communications and the antenna is at thefurthest possible distance from the body. Users should transmit nomore than 50% of the time and follow the guidelines:To Transmit and Receive: You must be properly licensed bythe FCC or your governing radio communications authorityto use this radio on the programmed frequencies.To Transmit,first hold down the MON (Monitor) button for a momentto make sure that the channel is not busy with other traffic that youmay not hear this depending on the TONE that may be programmed inshared transceivers if the channel is a shared frequency with otherusers with different CTCSS/CDS Tones. You may also look at the sig-nal strength meter to ensure that the channel is clear.To transmit: Push and hold the Push– to-Talk (PTT) Button; speak in anormal voice. There is a 1/4 second delay before the radio transmitsas the antenna is tuned to the frequency/channel being usedTo Receive,release the PTT button.Hand-held Transceiver Operation:Hold the radio in a vertical position with the radio approximately 1.5 to2.5 “ away from your lips.Body Worn Application:As in most cases whenever using an approved case and body pack forthis transceiver or not, use of this radio with the antenna touching thebody may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines.Antennas & BatteriesUse only Infinity supplied and approved antennas and batteries.Use of non approved accessories and attachments as well asuser modifications could not only damage the radio and voidwarranty, but also may void FCC regulations as well asexceed RF exposure limits. DO NOT OVERCHARGE BATTER-IES. Consult Infinity or your Authorized Reseller/ Distributorif you have any doubts or questions.

4User PrecautionsThe following will assist you in fulfilling anywarranty obligations.No User Serviceable Parts inside. Refer repair to Factory Au-thorized Personnel only.Do not use the transceiver or charge the battery in an explo-sive environment.Keep the transceiver out of direct sunlight, DO NOT exposethe unit to extreme heat or cold.Keep the transceiver out of dusty or humid areas. IF IM-MERSED IN WATER, TAKE OUT OF WATER AND BLOWAIR ACROSS SPEAKER AND SHAKE ANY WATER THATMAY BE TRAPPED IN FRONT OF THE SPEAKER GRILL.Do Not Transmit without an approved antenna connected tothe transceiver. Install the battery only after theantenna is connected to the radio.Observe common sense when attempting to transmit in areassuch as construction sites, mines, hospitals, hazardous envi-ronments, etc..About Infinity: Infinity radios are sold only through Infinity orInfinity authorized regional resellers. The radio is also fieldprogrammable using the keypad (if enabled by the software),or may be programmed by using a computer loaded with op-tional Infinity programming software with the appropriate inter-face cable. The sale and use of these radios is restricted tolicensed users only. User takes the responsibility to complywith FCC requirements.About Infinity performance: Users have remarked that theInfinity radio outperforms most if not all major radio manufac-turers in direct radio to radio communications (distance). Thisis due to the superior design of the radio and the built in an-tenna tuner used in the transceiver.37Using your Paging RadioTypically your radio will have one paging channel .When using the radio as a paging receiver, set theradio to that channel.Turn the volume control up all the way.When the radio receives and decodes a valid twotone signal, the radio will emit an audible chime, aswell as allow you to hear the message being broad-cast by dispatch.It will continue to allow you to hear the radio trafficuntil the last transmission occurs or when 20 secondstime of no carrier has elapsed. After 20 seconds of noradio traffic on the channel, the radio will revert backto page receive mode.

36How to use your Paging RadioOnce programmed, your radio software programming for the PagingReceive model should look similar to the screens below. This illustra-tion is a sample scenario of a Chief’s radio.It is for illustration purposes only depicting typical radio applications ofthe P-1000/P1010 P Series radios with paging option.Examples:Channel 1 is a repeater channel for Dispatch, no paging receive, on scanChannel 2 is a weather channel with receive onlyChannel 3 is the main repeater channel where one can hear all activity, not onPRI scan. Hears all radio traffic and page tones. One hears all radio traffic forFire, Med, Public Works.Channel 4 is the Fire Channel with 2 Tone Decode for Fire, using the same re-peater as EMS and Public Works. On paging Receive, on PRI scan. Only firepage calls are heard.Channel 5 is the EMS channel with 2 tone decode for EMS/MED calls. Usessame repeater as Fire and Public Works. On paging receive, on PRI scan.Channel 6 is the Public Works channel with 2 tone decode for Public Works.On paging receive, not on PRI Scan.Channel 7 is a DOT channel with 2 tone paging receive, not on PRI scan.This is the Fire Chief’s radio:-Fire, EMS and Public Works use the same repeater.-When on PRI scan, his radio scans and listens for pages from both FIREand EMS. (Channels 4 and 5).-If he is on Channel 3, he hears all traffic, and all tones generated by thedispatcher ‘s paging terminal.>IF THE CHIEF’S RADIO WAS PROGRAMMED TO ENCODE, HECOULD THEN INITIATE A PAGE BY PRESSING AND HOLDING DOWNTHE ORANGE BUTTON ON THE RADIO ON THE APPROPRIATECHANNEL UNTIL HIS RADIO BEEPS AT HIM, INDICATING THAT APAGE WAS SUCCESFULLY SENT OUT. 5Product Features128 channels5 watt (VHF), 4 watt (UHF) power output2 Tone Decode and Encode (P-Option) 12.5 KHz narrow/ wi de band spaci ngwi th 2.5 KHz Channel stepANI ID code (check compatibility with your radiosystem)VOX operation (for hands free operation)LCD display with channel, frequency or Englishlanguage channel aliasScrambler (inverted type) operation (to keep con-versations and information secure)Three color selectable backlit LCDPersonal Emergency AlarmProgrammable by PC or Front Keypad* [*Keypadprogramming access may be locked out by thesoftware.]50 CTCSS ands 104 DCS Normal/Inverted tones,SelectableTime-out-timerBusy channel lock-outAudible function and channel number (feedback touser if enabled) in English language through ra-dio’s speaker

Failure to insert the batteryas shown will see the pins on the back of the radio pushed in,causing intermittent contact with the battery. If this occurs, pinsneed to be pulled out to make contact with the battery pack.1) Attach the antenna to the transceiver.2) With the antenna connected, hinge the battery pack asshown below into the bottom of the Transceiver, then snapit in place. Make sure that the battery is properly seated.3) You may lock in place the suppliedBattery belt clip at any stage. Dependingon the Model of the battery, the clip may already be assem-bled onto the battery.4) Connect the low voltage AC to DC adapter to the ChargerBase. The RED LED will flash and then extinguish.5) Insert the transceiver into the charger. The REDLED will light indicating that the battery is charging.The LED will change color to GREEN once thebattery has reached a useful level. THIS DOESNOT INDICATE THAT THE BATTERY IS FULLYCHARGED. Continue to charge the batteryfor another 2 hrs. IMPORTANT: Charge the Battery for 12-14 Hours before using the radio the first time to conditionthe battery. NOTE: The Battery may be charged alone, with-out the radio connected to it. DO NOT OVERCHARGE.NOTES:If the radio is turned on while in the charger, charging times willincrease.When charging is complete, remove the radio from the charger.Charge the battery for 12-14 hrs the first time.When handling the battery or transceiver, do not short the ex-posed battery connections.HINT: With battery in-serted, press down on bothsides of the top of the bat-tery against the radio shellto snap the battery intoplace.

12About Radio Operations. Terminology.In a wireless Land Mobile Radio (LMR) Communications system,there are two modes of operation: DIRECT (communicating onthe same transmit and receive frequency between radio users,sometimes called Radio to Radio); and over a REPEATER (wherea portable or mobile radio transmits on one frequency and re-ceives on another).In DIRECT MODE, there may be obstacles such as buildings oruneven terrain affecting the transmission over long distances ofcommunications between two or more low power (ex. 5 watt) port-able radios. In a REPEATER configuration, a radio receiver andhigh power radio transmitter (example 50 to 150 watts) with twoantennas is located on a mountain top or elevated location.When using a handheld radio, the Repeater due to its better andelevated location receives much better the low power signal of thehand held or other radio units. Once received, the transmitter re-transmits simultaneously the received radio transmission fromthe handheld or mobile radio on a frequency that differs from thereceived signal. This so-called frequency offset is necessary toprevent the strong transmitted signal from disabling the Re-peater's receiver. When strategically located on top of a highbuilding or a mountain top, the Repeater can greatly enhance theperformance of a wireless network by allowing communicationsover distances much greater than would be possible without it. Inthis case coupled with higher power, the Repeater “repeats” thecommunications from the hand held or mobile unit that it receives,and increases the range due to the higher power and better an-tenna and location of this relay station .Repeater OperationPortable Unit 1Receive: 154.875 MHzTransmit: 156.090 MHzRepeaterReceive: 156.090 MHzTransmit: 154.875 MHzWhen it Receives a signal the repeater transmits whatit receives simultaneously on the other frequency.Portable Unit 2Receive: 154.875 MHzTransmit: 156.090 MHz29Step 5:Once the installed application is running and you reachthe “Customer Information” window, you may enter theserial number of the radio into the serial number field (orthe word “infinity”. (The serial number for the radio is lo-cated on the back of the radio where the battery normallysits.) We suggest entering Infinity as the entry. You mayenter “infinity” at all prompts, the s/w is not dependent onpasswords or serial numbers.Step 6:Once you have gone through successfully the Install SetupNotice, an Infinity icon will be automatically placed on yourcomputer’s desktop. The icon will look like the one below,labeled “Infinity”.Step 7:Locate the programming software cable that was includedwith your radio. Plug the RS-232 COM connector of thecable (DB9 connector) or the USB connector into one ofyour available COM or USB ports on your computer. Ifusing a serial cable, remember which COM port it was in-serted into….as you will need to know this designationlater. Example COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4.Note: If using the PG-2 USB Cable and Software, fol-low the specific software HELP GUIDE that accompa-nies your USB Software Kit. YOU MUST INSTALL AUSB DRIVER TO YOUR PC OR LAPTOP> Follow theUSB installation instructions closely. Ensure that de-vice manager sees these ports as such, COM1, COM2etc…for USB operation.Step 8:To program:Insert the other end of the programming software cableplug into the speaker/microphone jack of the radio. To doso you will need to pull back the upper portion of the plas-tic cover located on the right hand side of the radio labeled“SP MIC”, and plug in the connector firmly. KEEP RADIOPOWER OFF AT THIS STAGE.Note: Do not confuse the “SP MIC” plastic coverwith the PTT key.Infinity.lnk

CTCSSfilters out other users if they are using a different CTCSS tone orno CTCSS. DCS is called Digital Coded Squelch, similar toCTCSS.Example: One may have both the Fire Dept. and EMS on thesame frequency. During standard operations, one may not wantto hear the other. The two-way radio receiver's audio turns ononly in the presence of the correct sub audible tone that only theradio hears that corresponds to the respective agency’s pro-grammed sub-tone. Therefore in this application, Fire uses onesub- tone, EMS another. Conventional radios without CTCSS (orCTCSS turned off, or seeing the User pressing the MONI buttonon the P-1000) would hear all transmissions from both groups.The Firefighters would have to listen to the radio traffic from EMSwhile EMS would hear all conversations from Fire.If the radios are programmed with 2 different CTCSS tones ontwo different channels using the same frequency, units fromeach group would only hear radios from their own Departmentthat are programmed to the same CTCSS or DCS code numberof their group. Using this also reduces missed messages and thedistraction of unnecessary radio traffic from the other Agency.There are many other uses for CTCSS/DCS often called PLTONES (Motorola term) or Channel Guard. (A GE term).Prior to programming a radio one therefore needs to mark downthe following:-Receive Frequency-Receive Tone (If CSQ is written, there is no tone used)-Transmit Frequency-Transmit Tone-Whether the radio is to operate in narrow or wide band-The 6 character description of the radio channelThis information should be available from your communicationsofficer.

14Basic Transceiver Operation-Quick GuideTo turn the Transceiver On: With the antenna connected and bat-tery inserted, rotate the power/volume control knob clockwise. All iconson the LCD shall appear momentarily. The screen after self test willthen revert to the selected default state: with Channel number and withEnglish Channel Alias name.Volume and Squelch: The transceiver has a preset squelch level,which may be adjusted (in squelch set up/programming mode in thesoftware or by pressing the MENU key and then selecting squelchwhen operating the radio in the field.). Lowering this setting opens upthe squelch allowing one to hear more distant or noisy stations. Thisshould be set to “3” for normal operation.Adjust volume as needed using the volume control to your requirement.If there is no one on frequency and nothing is heard from the unit’sspeaker, you may adjust volume by pressing the MON button (openingup the squelch), and then adjusting the volume level as needed.Transmitting: It is common practice to hold down the MON buttonmomentarily to open up the squelch or defeat the CTSS tone that mayhave been programmed to avoid transmitting while another station us-ing another CTCSS or DCS tone is on your radio frequency but not onyour tone. If this is the case, you may also consult the “receive signalbar meter” that also shows relative receive signal strength. If anotherstation is on frequency you will see the received signal on this bargraph. If the MONI button would be pushed you would then hear theother station. Consult your communications officer for use of the thisformality and see if it applies to your agency. Transmit only when thechannel is clear.Call Tone: Similar to PRS/FRS GPRSM personal family radios, youmay ahead of your transmission alert someone audibly of an incomingcall. This only works with another P-1000/P-1010 series radio. Pressthe Orange Call Key and hold it down for 2 seconds. You will see theRed TX LED light up and the TX signal strength meter on the radio’sLCD light up, indicating that the radio is transmitting. A “chime” willheard on another Infinity radio tuned into the same channel.27Additional Notes Regarding the Programming of theP-1000 Series Radio>Entry of Channel Descriptions using Keypad:You may use either the front keypad to program the radio, or usethe Infinity Model PG-1 (serial) or PG-2 (USB) programming cableinserted in the microphone jack which is connected in turn to aPC or laptop using the Infinity programming software. The s/wcan lockout the user from accessing the field keypad program-mability feature of the radio. CONSULT YOUR AGENCY.If using the keypad: you may program the English Language chan-nel names (up to 6 alpha or numeric characters). To programmanually this channel aliasing using the keypad:A. Set radio to channel mode (standard operation)B. With power off, press both “MON” and “MENU” keys, holding thekeys down while radio is turned ON.C. Keep these keys down until you see the word “SELF” appear on theLCD. (This denotes that you are in programming mode)D. Press “ENTER”E. “CH—001” appears on the LCD.F. Rotate the channel selector until you reach the desired Channelnumber. Press “ENTER”G. Press “ENTER” repeatedly until you see a series of “_ _ _ _ __” (dashes) appear on the LCD, with a small number “10” to theright. This is the line where you can enter a simple channel descrip-tion. The first “_” line is flashing.H. Rotate the channel selector until the desired letter or number ap-pears.I. Press the “#” key to advance to the second character position.J. Repeat the process using the channel selector to scroll through thenumbers and letters.K. When finished press “ENTER”. Then Press the VFO/MR key twiceto exit the program.NOTE: With the radio turned on and if the Channel Namedoes not appear on the LCD screen after programming thechannel alias, make sure that the NAME option is turned on.Press the “MENU” button, rotate channel selector to NAME,rotate the channel selector to highlight “ON”, press ENTERtwice, exit pressing the VFO key.

Only then will the radio allow you to receive a trans-mission of the same tone. If tone decoding is not used or pro-grammed in the transceiver, then all conversations on the pro-grammed frequency will be heard.ANI Radio ID is a feature that transmits a unique ID numberthat has been programmed into your radio. Using the s/w, in theRadio ID field, program all radios with 123 as a radio ID numberto be sent at the beginning of the transmission. This allows all ra-dios in this group to see each other. Then program each individualradio with an ANI Code (number that corresponds to the radio callof the user), with end of transmission selected. Each radio has aunique number. Using this feature may or may not affect the re-ceipt of some repeater based ID transmissions and may not workwith all Motorola MDC1200 systems. Test first to evaluate thesituation.Reverse TX/RX When this function is enabled by the user insituations where the user does not want to trip the repeater buthave local ground operation conversations to local respondersand not heard over the repeater network, this may be accom-plished by pressing and holding down the “# T-R” key until the “R”appears on the LCD. Radio units that are in close proximity toyour area of operations will hear you on the repeaters output fre-quency. They also, as well as you, will hear the repeater. Thecorresponding CTCSS/DCS tones will also follow automatically.DTMF Tones: While pressing the PTT button, and by pressingany of the 10 numeric keys, a corresponding DTMF tone will beCommon Radio ConceptsUnderstanding Squelch: The radio typically with a clear chan-nel is silenced. Upon reception of a carrier from another trans-ceiver or repeater, and with CTCSS/DCS programmed to accepta programmed and valid tone, only then does the receiver hearthe transmission. In rare occasions if the squelch level is set toohigh, weak signals may not be received properly. To do so youmay press the MON button to open up the squelch or “loosen” thesquelch.

Pressing the ENTER key allowsyou to jump from one line item to another.ChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelectorChannelSelector19Troubleshooting Notes:1) If your radio “transmits by itself”, make sure that the VOX (voiceactivated switch) is turned off.2) If you cannot hear a station using a repeater calling you, yet youmay “hit” and trip the repeater, try turning off the ANI function asit may not be compatible with your repeater.3) If you cannot be heard, and you cannot trigger the repeater, andyet you see the power bar for transmit power activate when youare transmitting as well as when another radio has triggered therepeater, this would indicate that the CTCSS or the DCS digitaltones are reversed.4) You can hear a radio next to you, but cannot be heard, makesure that you have not entered in reverse transmit and receivefrequencies.5) You can hear the repeater but may not access it after checkingthe above points, if you are using a 2.5 channel step, make surethat the radio has been programmed to accept the 2.5 channelstep. To do this, enter the “Frequency mode” of operation, (seepage 16). This operation selection is confirmed by seeing thefrequency being displayed on the LCD. Then, by pressing menuand accessing the “Step” menu (line 20) and programming inthe step ( seeing STEP025 appear on the LCD), you have nowselected the radio to the 2.5 KHz channel step. Press Enter tosave. Then Exit by pressing the VFO/MR key twice. Then returnto “Channel Mode Operation.” (see page 16 on how to return toChannel Mode).6) IF USING S/W TO PROGRAM THE RADIO:At times several models of PC or laptops have added an extra byte,turning the VOX (Hands-free) Voice Operated Switch for transmit tothe “ON” position. Before distributing a radio, make sure that theVOX indicator on the LCD is turned off (does not appear).7) The LCD display on the radio turns itself on or off by itself. Thismay indicate that the battery is not making contact with the 3 copperpins on the back side of the radio. This may happen if the batterywas not inserted properly, by "hinging" the battery in place, bottomfirst into the radio, as shown on Page 7. To correct an intermittentconnection, use your finger and gently pry back the three copperpins on the back of the radio towards you and downwards towardsthe base of the radio. Then insert the battery into the radio. With theradio turned on and as a test, squeezing the radio between yourfingers (front and back of radio) should not see the LCD display orradio turn off.

20Entering the Radio ProgrammingMode using the Front KeypadStep 1: With the radio turned off,locate the MONI and MENUkeys. Position your fingersas shown.Find a comfortable position.Step 2: Then, while holdingdown the MONI and MENU,Keys,Turn the Radio ON,keeping these 2 keys helddown until you see the word“SELF” appear on the LCDScreen.Step 3: When “SELF” appears onthe screen, this lets youknow you are entering theRadio’s Programming Mode.Press “ENTER”“Channel 01” appearson the LCD display. Thisindicates to you that you are readyto program Channel 01. If you wish toProgram Channel 01, press “ENTER”.NOTE: If you wish to program another Channelother than Channel 1, rotate the Channel selector until yousee the desired Channel number, then Press ENTER.When you have completed programming all your chan-nels, press the VFO/MR key twice to exit.>>Follow the Programming Tree as found on Page 22.MONIMENU21Before Programming your radio:Ensure that before programming your radio either using thefront keypad or software that you first write down on apaper the following information that will be needed, this priorto programming:1) Receive Frequency2) Receive PL tone (CTCSS, DCS, or none. NOTE: CSQ on a listdenotes that no PL or channel guard tone is used.)3) Transmit Frequency4) Transmit PL tone5) If the frequency used is narrow or wide banded.For 2 Tone Paging Radio Operation,either for Decoding (receive) or Encoding (creating a 2tone transmission), you will need to use theOptional Paging Radio Software, as these functions arenot keypad field programmable.You will need also to find out and make note of the “A”and “B” Tones for your paging system, and their spacingas it applies to your radio system for successful 2 tone de-code (or encode) operation.HINT: For use with commonly used MOTOROLA Minitor pag-ing systems, the following settings should be used:-First delay: 0.5 (length of first tone)-Second Delay: 0.5 (length of second tone)-Interval Time: 2.0 (time between tones A & B)-Long Delay: 5.0 (when creating a page, (Encode mode only),this is the time that radio waits once PTT is pushed to send outseries of A&B tones)Consult your communications officer or pagingcommunications supplier to ensure that these are the cor-rect timing sequences for your Agencyor Department.
