Main Features in detail

Superior Audio

Using the latest noise reduction technology, the DTEx Portable Radios deliver loud, crisp natural sounding audio no matter what operational environment you are in.

Safety Features You Can Rely On

DTEx Radios support optional digital mode Lone Worker, Man Down and Emergency Button with Call Interrupt as dealer programmable features. These three levels of safety ensure that an alarm is raised, even if the channel is busy.

MILSTD 810C/D/E/F/G

Meeting MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F/G and providing commercial grade construction for tough, enduring performance. Entel's radios conform to stringent standards, enabling them to withstand the everyday rigours of shock, vibration and the corrosive effects of dust and moisture, ensuring many years of trouble free use.

Environmental Protection - IP68 - 2 Metres - 4 Hours Submersible

The DTEx Series offers the highest submergibility rating of any manufacturer - IP68. Ensuring protection against corrosion and likely hazards encountered in wet environments, these radios are constructed to withstand total immersion in water to a depth of 2 metres for 4 hours, even with the accessory cover removed.

Intrinsically Safe

ATEX Approved IIC - The DT900 series of ATEX certified portables meet IIC T4 - the most stringent ATEX ratings as per EU Directive 94/9/EC.

Simple End User Programming

With Entel's unique and easy to use PC app included free of charge with the purchase of your DTEx Radio, there is no longer any need to return a handset to your dealer to reprogram or update. With the user-friendly app you can simply transfer programming data, future-proofing software updates or add new features to your DTEx Radios.

High Grade Accessory Interface

The rugged, multi-pin interface and Micro-USB socket are both submersible and gold-plated to minimise any risk of damage and protect against corrosion. To ensure the integrity of IS protection levels and safeguard against noncompliant accessories being used, any accessory connected to the handset automatically undergoes a validation process. All DTEx accessories incorporate a robust locking connector to further safeguard the user.

Migrate to Digital Your Way!

DTEx Radios utilise both analogue and DMR Digital Technologies. Supporting both technologies ensures backwards compatiblily with exiting analogue Radio systems and a simple migration path to the many benefits of digital communication.

Li-Ion Battery Technology & Improved Talk Time

Entel's radios are supplied with the latest, high-capacity, intelligent Lithium-Ion battery technology as standard. One key advantage of Lithium-Ion battery technology is the way it eliminates ‘memory effect’, meaning that there is no need to fully discharge your battery before recharging. As a result of this, you are assured of a full charge each and every time you take your Entel battery from its charger.

Motorola Compatible TDMA Two-Slot Direct Mode (aka ‘Two Slot Simplex’)

The DMR Digital standard splits a single 12.5Khz Analogue Channel into two separate channels therefore doubling the number of channels available to the radio user. Two-Slot operation is normally only possible when a DMR Repeater is included in the system. However Entel DMR radios overcome this restriction on both Simplex & DMR446 channels so both channels (slots) are always available to the user no matter the channel type.

Emergency Button

By pressing the emergency button the radio will instantly send an alarm call to other radio(s) as well as sounding a local alarm. On receiving display models the radios unique ID / Alias is also displayed.

Lone-Worker Alarm

Entel’s Lone-Worker alarm is designed to protect lone workers. The radios Lone-Worker timer checks the radios user is OK; if no response is received, the radio will automatically send an alarm call to other radio(s). The local alarm additionally alerts non-radio users in the vicinity to the emergency. Should someone fall and become unconscious, the optional Man-Down sensor can automatically send an alarm. On receiving display models the radios unique ID / Alias is also displayed.

Man-Down Alarm

Entel’s Man-Down alarm is also designed to protect lone workers. Should someone fall and become unconscious, Man-Down sensor automatically sends an alarm. call to other radio(s). The local alarm additionally alerts non-radio users in the vicinity to the emergency. On receiving display models the radios unique ID / Alias is also displayed.

Voice Annunciation

This programmable feature announces either the channel position selected or, in the case of marine models, the marine channel number (alias) – this gives further assurance to the user that they’ve selected the correct channel allowing them to focus on the task in hand.

Individual Calling

As is suggests this enables you to have a 1-2-1 call where only you and the person you called is party to the conversation. You have the option to ring the radio and wait for the person to answer or make an instant call without ringing first.

Group Calling

This is the most popular form of two-way radio call, it enables you to instantly address two or more radios at once. One or more groups can be programmed into your radios allowing for multiple user groups.

Multiple Receive Groups

This enables you to monitor two or more groups, e.g. a manager needs to monitor the Cleaning and Maintenance groups he manages.

Caller ID

This is just like a mobile phone, displaying the radios number or alias, e.g. 'Bob', 'Security Hut', 'Reception', etc.
