Page 5: Trunked Mobile Radio System (Tmrs) Overview
All of these tower sites are connected to a central controller at Bell in Halifax. The TMR 2 system has new and improved functionality which will result in enhanced clarity of voice transmissions, system redundancy, interoperability and additional radio features for some agencies. -

Page 7: Trunked Mobile Radio System Network
Trunked Mobile Radio System Network Site Numbers and Names The colored dots illustrate the number of voice paths on each tower site plus a control channel that does not carry voice. In rural areas there are mostly blue dots meaning that those sites have three voice paths. On a three-voice path site no more than three simultaneous conversations can occur at once. -

Page 9: Interoperability
Interoperability Mutual Aid Talkgroups All public safety TMR units share eight Mutual Aid talkgroups. Mutual Aid allows direct communications with various agencies on one repeater. This decreases the chances of receiving a busy tone at an incident. Permission is required to use a Mutual Aid talkgroup: Contact your provincial dispatch point for assignment of a Mutual Aid talkgroup: Shubie Radio, Emergency Health Services (EHS), and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). -
Page 10: Radio/System Tones
The ITAC channels are to be used primarily for coordination activity between diff erent agencies in a mutual aid situation, or emergency activities of a single agency. Incidents requiring multi-agency participation will be coordinated over these channels by the agency controlling the incident. -

The TMR 2 system is a very stable communications platform. There are only a few failure scenarios that can occur within the TMRS: •... -
Page 13: Failsoft
Failsoft If the trunking system loses its control channel (channel that transmits data for system, and not voice) or has certain other failures, it is no longer able to operate in the trunking mode (normal operations). So instead of going into a condition that stops all communication, the system enters Failsoft. -
Page 14: Procedural Words (Prowords) Or Phrases And Their Meanings
Procedural Words (Prowords) or Phrases and Their Meanings Word or Phrase Meaning ACKNOWLEDGE Let me know that you have received and understood this message. AFFIRMATIVE Yes, or permission granted. BREAK Indicates the separation between portions of a message. (Used when there is no clear distinction between portions of a message.) May be repeated to request urgent access to a channel/talkgroup. - Page 15 Word or Phrase Meaning SAY AGAIN Self-explanatory. (Do not use the word "REPEAT".) STAND BY I must pause for a few seconds or minutes, please wait and I will call you. SEELONCE An international expression to indicate that silence has been imposed on the frequency/talkgroup due to a distress situation.

Radio Communications Procedures Passing a message Note: examples of words intended to be spoken will be bold and enclosed in quotes. Prowords will be all upper case. Messages will be passed in the following order: The call-sign of the station being called: ‘Shubie Radio’ The proword ‘THIS IS’... -
Page 17: Diffi Cult Words
Diffi cult Words Diffi cult words within the text of a message may be spelled using the phonetic alphabet and preceded by the proword, ‘I SPELL’. If the operator can pronounce the word to be spelled, s/he will do so before and after the spelling to identify the word. -
Page 18: Numbers
Numbers All numbers except whole thousands should be transmitted by pronouncing each digit separately, except exact multiples of thousands may be spoken as such. Numeral Spoken As FOW-ER FOW-ER NIN-ER ZE-RO 7000 SEV-EN THOUSAND 5318 FIFE THREE WUN AIT The decimal point is to be spoken as ‘DE-SEE-MAL’. Example: 987.6 is to be spoken as ‘Nin-er Ait Sev-en De-see-mal Six’... -
Page 19: Calling
For ease of communication in emergency situations, tactical call signs may be assigned on multi-agency radio networks. The tactical call signs will describe the radio operator’s location or function. Example: The Incident Commander at a Dartmouth General Hospital incident might use the call sign ‘Dartmouth General Incident Commander’. -
Page 20: Batteries
Batteries The battery must be charged before use. Memory eff ect is a phenomenon that causes a loss in battery capacity or voltage due to repetitive shallow discharging or long-term overcharging. This memory eff ect has been greatly reduced in your batteries through the use of new cell technology. It is still recommended, however, that you discharge your battery as much as possible before recharging it. -
Page 21: Nickel Cadmium (Nicd)
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) Among rechargeable batteries, the NiCd remains a popular choice for two way radio applications and is one of the most rugged rechargeable batteries available. The NiCd prefers a fast charge to a slow charge. This battery is a strong, silent worker and hard labor poses no problem BUT it should not be left in a charger for days or be used only occasionally for brief periods. -
Page 22: Lithium Ion ( Li-Ion)
NiMH Limitations: • Limited service life — if repeatedly deep cycled, especially at high load currents, the performance starts to deteriorate after 200 to 300 cycles. Shallow rather than deep discharge cycles are preferred. • NiMH batteries generate more heat during charge and require a longer charge time than the NiCd. -
Page 23: Radio Repair Procedure
To remove the battery: Turn the radio off . Holding the radio in one hand, push down on the battery release slides on both sides of the battery with the other hand. Angle the battery away from the radio and remove. Radio Repair Procedure TMR system users should consult with their radio or user group coordinator for direction on radio repairs. - Page 24 Notes:...
