10.24 MACRO KEY OPERATION
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input
(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when
pressed or when released.
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key
is activated.
For detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or
administrator.
10.25 PORTABLE DATA
The P5400 series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS Trunked configuration, permit both
voice and data calls to be transmitted and received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time;
however, either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio.
Data communications is not supported in conventional mode.
The radios can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232
compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be
connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio.
Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or
received).

The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation:
TX DATA
Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call.

10.25.2 DATA OFF Operation
The radio can be placed in the data disabled state by any of the following methods. When the data state is
disabled, DATA OFF appears on the top line of the display.
