are derived from Table 1 (B) titled “Limits For General
Population/Uncontrolled Exposure” which is from FCC
report OET bulletin #65.
The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF energy. Proper operation of this radio under
normal conditions results in user exposure to RF energy
below the Occupational Safety and Health Act and
Federal Communication Commission limits.

To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, DO NOT
operate the transmitter of a mobile radio when a person
outside the vehicle is within one (1) meter of the antenna.
To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, DO NOT
operate the transmitter of a stationary radio (base station
or marine radio) when a person is within one (1) meter of
the antenna.
Table 2 lists the antenna whips and bases recommended for use in each frequency range. Each model of
this radio was tested with the appropriate antenna listed.
The antenna was mounted in the center of the roof of a
domestically manufactured four-door passenger sedan.
The radio manufacturer has determined that the user and
service personnel should remain one (1) meter in
distance away from the antenna when transmitting. By
maintaining this distance, these individuals are not
exposed to radio frequency energy or magnetic fields in
excess of the guidelines set forth in Table 1.
DO NOT operate the radio in explosive or flammable
atmospheres. The transmitted radio energy could trigger
blasting caps or cause an explosion.
DO NOT operate the radio without the proper antenna
installed.
DO NOT allow children to operate or play with this
radio.
NOTE: The above warning list is not intended to
include all hazards that may be encountered when
using this radio.
NOTE: Other antennas or installation configurations
that have not been tested may not comply with FCC RF
exposure limits and therefore are not recommended.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not
cause harmful interference. In addition, changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by
EFJohnson could void the user’s authority to operate this
equipment (FCC rules, 47CFR Part 15.19).

- When this triangle is displayed, the scan list edit
or keypad programming mode is indicated (see
Section 3.17.5 or Section 4.14).
SECTION 3 GENERAL OPERATION
3.1 TURNING POWER ON
This password can be changed only by the
PCConfigure programmer. It cannot be changed by the
user. If it is lost, all programming must be erased to
make the transceiver operational again. This is done
using the “EEPROM Erase” function of the PCTune
program. Refer to the Alignment Procedure section in
the 5300 Service Manual for more information.
When power is turned on by pressing the On-Off/
Volume knob, the radio goes through a self test. When
that is successfully completed, the unit ID is displayed
if applicable, a tone sounds (if tones are enabled), and
the radio is ready for normal operation. If “ENTER
PSWD” is briefly displayed, refer to the next section.
Programming determines if the last selected or a home
zone/channel is selected at power up.
3.3 BACKLIGHT CONTROL AND DISPLAY
VIEWING ANGLE ADJUST
If the BKLHT option switch is programmed, it
can be used to select high, medium, or off backlight
modes. Otherwise, the keypad and display backlight is
fixed in one of these modes by programming.
3.2 POWER-UP PASSWORD
The power-up password feature prevents unauthorized use of the radio by requiring that an 8-digit
password be entered to make it operational. This
feature is enabled or disabled by the PCConfigure
radio programmer.
If the display is difficult to read from the angle
you normally view it, the viewing angle can be
adjusted as follows: Press and hold the last option
switch above the display and then press the first option
switch above the display. Then release both switches
and turn the Select switch until the best contrast is
obtained. This function times out in 3-5 seconds.
When this feature is enabled, “ENTER PSWD” is
briefly displayed when power is turned on. The 8-digit
password must then entered by rotating and pressing
the Select switch. In addition, since the logic resets
whenever data is read or written using the PCConfigure programmer, this password must be entered
after performing those functions.
NOTE: If the display appears blank or all icons are
continuously displayed, the viewing angle is probably
improperly adjusted.

Zone Select Indicator
The relative volume setting can be determined by
noting the position of the index on the On-Off/Volume
knob. Otherwise, enable a reference tone for use in
setting the volume as follows:
•
•
Zone
No.
If the key press tones are enabled (see Section 3.12
on page 12), a short tone sounds when an option
switch is pressed or the Select switch is pressed or
rotated.
Chnl
No.
Rotating the Select switch clockwise increases
the zone or channel and rotating it counterclockwise
decreases the zone or channel number. After the
highest zone or channel is displayed, wrap-around to
the lowest zone or channel occurs and vice versa. If an
unprogrammed channel is selected,
“UNPROGRAMD” is displayed and a tone sounds.
The transceiver may also be programmed so that only
programmed channels are selected.
If a conventional channel is selected, take the microphone off-hook and if someone is talking, voice may
be heard. If the MON (Monitor) option switch is
programmed (see Section 4.3 on page 19), pressing
it unsquelches the transceiver and either voice or
background noise is heard. If a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel is selected, the transceiver cannot be manually unsquelched.
The transceiver can be programmed so that the
bar defaults to either the zone or channel display when
power is turned on and after a change is made. The
delay that occurs before it returns is programmed for
1-15 seconds. It can also be programmed to remain in
the last selected mode.
3.5 ZONE/CHANNEL DISPLAY
The selected zone and channel numbers are
displayed by the zone and channel displays shown in
Figure 2-3 on page 8. In addition, the programmed
zone or channel identification (alias) is displayed in
the alphanumeric display area. The zone alias is
displayed when the zone select mode is enabled, and
the channel alias is displayed when the channel select
mode is enabled (see next section). With conventional
channels, the channel frequency may be displayed
instead of the alias (see Section 4.9).
3.7 SETTING SQUELCH CONTROL
This transceiver does not have a squelch control.
The squelch level is preset and usually does not
require readjustment. However, if the squelch level
needs to be changed on a conventional analog channel,
it can be changed using keypad programming if available (see Section 4.14 on page 25).
A zone can include any mix of up to 16 channels,
and up to 16 zones can be programmed. Therefore, up
to 256 channels can be selected. Zones may be used
for operation in different geographical areas or radio
systems.
3.8 OPTION SWITCHES
3.6 ZONE/CHANNEL SELECT
The six option switches on the front panel (one is
located to the left of the display) can be programmed
by the PCConfigure programmer to control a different
set of functions for each of the three operating modes.
Therefore, up to 18 different functions can be
controlled by these switches (six each for conventional, SMARTNET/SmartZone, and P25 Trunking).
The available functions in each mode and the section
in which each is described are shown in Table 3-1
which follows.
The front panel Select switch is used to change
the zone and channel. Pressing this switch toggles
between the zone and channel select modes, and
rotating it changes the zone or channel.
The current mode is indicated by the bar over the
zone or channel display. For example, when the bar is
over the zone display (see following illustration), the
zone select mode is enabled.

GENERAL OPERATION
3.10 HOME ZONE/CHANNEL SELECT
Both the ignition switch and the power switch
must then be on for transceiver power to turn on. The
delay can be overridden at any time by turning power
off using the front panel power switch or turning the
ignition switch back on.
If the HOME zone option switch is programmed,
pressing it selects the preprogrammed home zone and
channel. This provides a quick way of returning to a
frequently used zone and channel. The transceiver is
also programmed so that either the home or last
selected zone/channel is automatically selected when
power is turned on.
This turn-off delay can allow calls to be received
or the horn alert to be active for a time after the ignition switch is turned off. At the same time, advantages
of ignition switch control are utilized such as
preventing the battery discharge that may occur if the
transceiver is left on for an extended period (see
Section 6.5).
3.11 POWER OUTPUT SELECT
Each conventional channel and SMARTNET/
SmartZone and P25 Trunked system can be
programmed for High, Low, or Switchable transmit
power. If Switchable power is programmed on the
channel, the Tx PWR option switch can then be used
to select high or low transmitter power. All models
support switchable power.
3.14 HORN ALERT
The horn alert feature sounds an external alert
such as the vehicle horn when certain calls are
received. It is available if a Horn option switch is
programmed and the proper connection has been made
to the external alert. The horn alert output is pin 4 of
the accessory cable, and an external driver circuit of
some type is usually required. Refer to the Installation
section of the 5300 Service Manual for more information on how to install this feature.
Pressing the TX PWR switch toggles the power
setting. The new level is flashed in the display when
this switch is pressed as “HI POWER” or “LOW
POWER”. If selectable power is not permitted on the
current channel, the fixed power level is flashed as
“FIXED HIGH” or “FIXED LOW” and no power
change occurs. The selected power level for a channel
is permanent until it is manually changed again.
Additional information on the horn alert feature
follows:
3.12 ALERT TONE SELECT
The various alert tones that sound are described
in Section 6.1 on page 35. These tones can be enabled
and disabled if the TONE option switch is
programmed. To turn all tones off, press this switch
and “TONE OFF” is displayed. Then to turn all tones
on again, press it and “TONE ON” is displayed. If this
switch is not programmed, tones are fixed in the on or
off condition by programming.
•
It activates when receiving any Unit call in the
conventional mode and any Private/Unit and Call
Alert (paging) call in the SMARTNET/SmartZone
and P25 Trunked modes. It does not sound when
receiving standard Group or Telephone calls, and is
not programmable on a per call basis.
•
It must be manually enabled and disabled by the
Horn option switch. It is not controlled by the
vehicle ignition switch. When it is enabled, “HORN
ON” is briefly displayed, and when it is disabled,
“HORN OFF” is briefly displayed. It defaults to the
off mode whenever power is turned on.
•
If a power turn-off delay is programmed as just
described, it is functional during that delay.
•
When activated, it can be programmed to sound for
three 1-second beeps or continuously for 2-90
seconds. It then turns off until another call is
received.
3.13 POWER TURN-OFF DELAY
The transceiver can be installed so that the
vehicle ignition switch as well as the front panel
power switch of the transceiver control power. This is
done by connecting the accessory cable ignition switch
input to the vehicle ignition switch. Refer to the Installation section of the 5300 Service Manual for more
information. A power-off delay of up to 254 minutes
or forever can then be programmed.

GENERAL OPERATION
3.15 MICROPHONE OFF-HOOK DETECT
3.16.2 STANDARD SCANNING
The microphone hanger can be connected to
chassis ground and the radio programmed to detect an
off-hook condition (Hangup Box Monitor selected).
The following operation then occurs when the microphone is taken off-hook:
Standard scanning monitors only channels that
are the same type as that currently selected. For
example, if a conventional channel is selected, only
conventional channels are scanned and likewise for
SMARTNET/SmartZone and Project 25 trunked
channels. For more information on scanning functions
unique to these operating modes, refer to Sections 4.11
and 5.11. Standard scanning operates as follows.
Conventional Channel Selected - Scanning temporarily halts (if applicable) and the Monitor Mode
described in Section 4.3 is enabled. However, the
receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected.
•
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Channel
Selected - Scanning temporarily halts if applicable.
To turn standard scanning on, press the SCAN
option switch. Scanning is enabled when a rotating

has no affect on radio operation.
Scan Enable Indicator
3.16 SCANNING
•
To turn scanning off, press the SCAN option switch
again. On conventional channels, this may also
select another list, so several presses may be
required (see Section 4.11). Scanning is disabled
when “SCAN OFF” is briefly displayed and is no
longer indicated in the status display.
•
If the zone or channel is changed while scanning is
selected, scanning continues on the same or a
different scan list (see Section 3.17.1).
3.16.1 INTRODUCTION
Scanning monitors the channels in the scan list
for messages the transceiver is programmed to receive.
When a message is detected, scanning stops and the
message is received. Shortly after the message is
complete, scanning resumes (unless it has been
disabled).
If the microphone off-hook condition is detected
(Hangup Box Monitor selected by programming),
scanning stops and selective squelch (such as Call
Guard CTCSS or NAC/group ID detect) is disabled on
conventional channels. If the off-hook condition is not
detected, taking the microphone off-hook has no affect
on transceiver operation.
NOTE: Each SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked
channel can be programmed so that scanning is automatically enabled when the channel is selected.
3.16.3 RADIO WIDE SCANNING
NOTE: Use radio wide scanning only if two types of
channels need to be scanned at the same time such as
conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone. Otherwise,
use the more efficient standard scanning because there
is less chance of missed calls.
There are two scan modes available: Standard and
Radio Wide. The standard type is unique to the type of
channel selected, and the Radio Wide type is the same
for all channel types. Only one type of scanning can be
enabled at a time. Therefore, if standard scanning is
enabled when the Radio Wide Scan switch is pressed,
standard scanning is automatically disabled and vice
versa. Refer to the following for more information.
Radio wide scanning monitors the channels in the
preprogrammed radio wide scan list. This list may
contain up to 16 channels of any type assigned to any

messages on a channel become annoying. This feature
is not available with radio wide scanning. Channels
can also be permanently added or deleted by editing
the scan list as described in Section 3.17.5. Proceed as
follows to temporarily delete a channel:
NOTE: The selected channel and also conventional
priority channels cannot be deleted from the scan list.
1. While receiving a message on the channel to be
deleted, press and hold the SCAN option switch
until a tone sounds (approximately 2 seconds).
2. The channel is then deleted and scanning of the
remaining channels in the scan list resumes.
3.16.4 SCAN RESUME DELAY
3. Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if
any of the following events occur:
When a message is received or transmitted while
scanning, there is a delay before scanning resumes.
The delay after receiving a call prevents another
message from being received before a response can be
made. The delay after transmitting a call ensures that a
response is heard instead of another message occurring
on some other channel.
•
•
•
Separate delay times are programmable for radio
wide and standard scanning. With radio wide and
conventional standard scanning, delays of 0-7.5
seconds are programmable in 0.5-second steps. With
SMARTNET/SmartZone standard scanning, a delay of
2-10 seconds can be programmed in 0.5-second steps.
Scanning is turned off and then on again using the
SCAN switch.
Transceiver power is turned off and then on again.
The scan list is reselected by changing channels
(SMARTNET/SmartZone) or using the SCAN
option switch (conventional).

3.18 SECURE COMMUNICATION
or DVP algorithm. The SecureNet protocols include
the following:
3.18.1 INTRODUCTION
•
DVP (Digital Voice Privacy) is an earlier encryption
method that is self synchronizing using cipher feedback. It was originally designed to be used by
anyone needing protection from unauthorized
eavesdropping.
•
DES (Data Encryption Standard) provides the
highest level of security, and also uses cipher feedback. It was originally designed to be used only by
the Federal government.
•
DVP-XL/DES-XL - A disadvantage of the DVP and
DES encryption types is reduced communication
range when compared to clear voice. The DES-XL
and DVP-XL methods were designed to provide
better range but at the cost of lower voice quality.
They use a different type of feedback called counter
addressing.
•
DES-OFB - A form of DES encryption for digital
channels that uses output feedback. This protocol
does not result in the degraded range that occurs
with analog channels.
This transceiver may be equipped to provide
secure communication on some or all channels. This
feature encrypts the voice so that it can be understood
only by someone using a transceiver equipped with a
similar encryption device and encryption codes.
When a secure call is received or transmitted,
is indicated in the display. If equipped with the
Clear/Secure option switch and the current channel is
programmed to allow switch selection, secure communication can be manually enabled and disabled by that
switch. Otherwise, channels are strapped to Clear or
Coded operation. Secure communication can be
programmed on a per channel basis to operate in
various ways. Refer to the following for more information:
3.18.2 CONVENTIONAL CHANNELS
On conventional analog channels, the protocol
that can be used to provide secure communication is
SecureNet™ DES or DES-XL encryption.
The transmission mode (DES/DES-XL) is
selected by the programming software for each
SecureNet analog channel. If a channel is programmed
for DES-XL, it will also receive DES, but transmissions always occur in DES-XL.
On conventional digital (Project 25) channels, the
SecureNet DES-OFB protocol is used. In the receive
mode, clear and secure messages are always automatically detected.
3.18.3 SMARTNET/SMARTZONE AND P25
TRUNKED CHANNELS
3.18.5 HARDWARE (ENCRYPTION) KEYS
On SMARTNET/SmartZone analog channels,
SecureNet DES or DES-XL protocol can be selected.
On SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked digital
channels, only the DES-OFB protocol is available.
Talk groups can be strapped to Clear, Coded, or
Switch selectable, and clear and secure messages are
always autodetected.
General
NOTE: A constant power supply must be connected to
the transceiver to maintain the encryption keys in
memory. Therefore, if equipped with these keys, do not
remove the radio from battery power or disconnect the
battery for extended periods (typically 8 hours or
more).
The following calls require their own encryption
key selection: emergency, failsoft, patch, telephone,
private, and system-wide.
Each SecureNet channel is assigned a hardware
key from 0-15. This is the hardware location of the
encryption key to be used. The keys in these locations
are loaded into the radio using the Motorola or PC key
loader. The keyloader converts an input of approximately 20 characters into the “key” that is loaded into

loaded into the radio at one time.
NOTE: There is a security feature that automatically
erases the encryption keys when the bottom cover is
removed. This function is performed by a push button
switch S1 on the logic board.
If the channel has been strapped “Clear” and the
option button selects the “Secure” mode on power up
and a transmission is attempted, “Clear Only” is
displayed and transmitting is disabled. Conversely, if
the channel is strapped “Secure” and the option button
selects the “Clear” mode on power up and a transmission is attempted, “Secure Only” is displayed and the
transmitter is disabled.
As stated in the above “NOTE”, the transceiver
must be connected to an unswitched power source to
preserve the encryption keys in memory. However,
there is a storage capacitor (C173, 0.22 µF) which
maintains the 5-volt supply (and the encryption keys)
for a minimum of approximately 8 hours if power is
temporarily lost.
3.18.7 460 SCRAMBLING
If an attempt is made to transmit a secure
message without loading the corresponding key,
“KEYFAIL” is displayed. The message must then be
transmitted in the clear mode (this is possible only if
the channel is strapped to “switchable” as described
below) or the key must be loaded.
The 460 Scrambling protocol is a proprietary
Transcrypt protocol that is compatible with the standalone scrambling option from Transcrypt. The 460
type of scrambling is no longer available with 5300
transceivers.

When multiple hardware keys are programmed
(see preceding information), the Hardware Key Select
option switch can be programmed to allow selection of
another key for the channel. This feature permanently
selects another key for the channel (cycling power or
selecting a different channel does not reselect the original key). Therefore, to switch back to the original key,
it must be manually reselected. Proceed as follows to
select a key:
Clear - All calls are in the clear mode unless
responding to a secure call. If the response is then
made within the delay time (see Section 3.16), it
occurs in the secure mode.
Coded - All calls are made in the selected secure

3.19.3 SMARTNET/SMARTZONE MODE
3.19.1 GENERAL
This is a trunked operating mode in which automatic access is provided to several RF channels. ID
codes are used to select what mobiles are being called
and what calls are received. Monitoring is performed
automatically and special messages and tones indicate
busy and out-of-range conditions.
Secure Autodetect - Both clear and SecureNet signals
are automatically detected. This mode is automatically selected if the transmit mode is switch selectable.
Each selectable channel can be programmed for
the conventional, SMARTNET/SmartZone, or Project
25 (digital) trunked operating mode. For example,
Zone 1/Channel 1 could be a conventional channel,
Zone 1/Channel 2 a SMARTNET channel, and so on.
Consult your system operator to determine the type or
types of operation programmed in your transceiver.
More information on these modes follows.
SMARTNET and SmartZone operation and
programming is very similar. Basically, SMARTNET
operation is limited to a single repeater site and SmartZone operation allows automatic roaming between
sites. Enhanced features include roaming (SmartZone
only), telephone, private, and emergency calls, Call
Alert™, and messaging. Either analog or digital
signaling may be used.
3.19.2 CONVENTIONAL MODE
This is a non-trunked operating mode which
accesses independent radio channels (there is no automatic access to several channels). Selecting a conventional channel selects a transmit and receive frequency
and other channel parameters such as squelch control
coding.
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is
selected or the radio is powered up on one of those
channels, it searches for a control channel. Once a
control channel is found, the alias (name) of the
selected channel is displayed and the radio attempts to
register on the radio system. If a control channel could
not be found (because of an out of range condition or
the system ID is not correct, for example), “NO SYS”
is displayed and the radio continues to search for a
control channel.
Conventional channels can be either standard
(analog) or Project 25 (digital). With digital operation,
the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) converts the audio
signal to digital data which is sent over the air as
complex tones. Another difference is that analog channels use Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) squelch control
and Project 25 channels use a NAC (Network Access
Code) and talk group ID codes.
With NAC, a number similar to an ID code is
transmitted, and for communication to occur, it must
match one programmed in the base equipment and the
mobile(s) being called. In addition, to receive standard group calls, the receiving mobile(s) must be
programmed to detect the transmitted ID code.
The control channel transmits and receives
system information to and from all radios registered on
the system. Therefore, once a control channel is found,
it is continuously monitored for incoming call information and is used to make call requests. The radio
automatically changes to a traffic channel to place and
receive calls and then returns to the control channel
when the call is complete.
With conventional operation, a busy channel
condition is detected automatically if the busy channel

3.19.4 P25 TRUNKED MODE
The P25 Trunked operating features are very
similar to the SmartZone type just described. Therefore, these modes plus SMARTNET are all described
in the same section (Section 5). Some diffferences
between the P25 Trunking and SmartZone modes are
as follows:
•
Digital signaling is always used with P25 calls.
Either analog or digital signaling may be used for
SmartZone calls.
•
Calls made to a specific mobile in the P25 mode are
called Unit Calls. In the SmartZone mode they are
called Private Calls.
•
•
P25 Trunked telephone calls are not be available
until a future release.
•
The P25 control channel data rate is 9600 baud and
the digital voice data rate is also 9600 baud. With
SmartZone operation, the control channel data rate
is 3600 baud (both digital and analog calls) and the
narrowband digital voice data rate is 9600 baud.
•
The P25 mode uses a system ID, a Wide Area
Communications Network (WACN) ID, and an RF
Subsystem ID (RFSS). The SmartZone mode does
not use the WACN and RFSS IDs.
•
P25 Unit IDs can be 1-16,777,215 (000001-FFFFFF
hex) and SmartZone Unit IDs can be 1-65,535
(0001-FFFF hex).
Messaging is not available with P25 calls.
SECTION 4 CONVENTIONAL FEATURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Manual Channel Monitoring
An overview of the conventional operating mode
is located in Section 3.19.2. The following information
describes the features unique to conventional standard
(analog) and Project 25 (digital) operation. Refer to
the preceding “General Operation” section (Section 3)
for information on features common to all operating
modes.
The automatic monitoring just described may
occasionally disable the transmitter when the channel
is not in use, such as when the repeater has extended
hang time. In this case, you may not want to use it and
the channel must then be monitored manually as
follows:
Busy Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the
multi-function indicator on the front panel is steady
green. If it is not, the channel is not being used and
you can transmit your call. If it is green, a carrier is
being detected, so the channel may be busy (see next
paragraph).
4.2 MONITORING BEFORE TRANSMITTING
With conventional operation, you may need to
manually monitor the channel before transmitting to
make sure that it is not being used by someone else. If
you were to transmit while someone else was using the
channel, you would probably disrupt their conversation. With the trunked operating modes, channel monitoring is performed automatically. Monitor conventional channels automatically or manually as follows:
Monitor Mode - There may be times when the busy
indication is displayed even though no one is using the
channel. Monitoring should then be performed by
disabling Call Guard squelch (or group ID detect on
P25 channels). This is usually done by selecting the
Monitor Mode (see following).
Automatic Channel Monitoring
4.3 MONITOR MODE
If the selected channel is programmed for Busy
Channel Lockout (also called Transmit Disable On
Busy) feature, monitoring is performed automatically.
Refer to Section 4.4 for more information on this
feature.
The monitor mode unsquelches the receiver even
if a carrier is not detected. Therefore, it can be used for
such things as monitoring a channel for all activity

Tone (NAC) - If an incorrect Call Guard (CTCSS/
DCS) or P25 NAC code (see Section 1.4) is detected,
the transmitter is disabled when the PTT switch is

one programmed for the current channel.
before transmitting or improving reception when intermittent squelching makes messages hard to understand. Other Monitor mode features are as follows:
•

•
Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) squelch is disabled on
analog channels and NAC and group ID detect are
disabled on P25 (conventional) channels.
Busy Channel Lockout is overridden (see next
section)
Scanning temporarily halts
If Busy Channel Override is permitted by
programming, it is possible to transmit even when the
transmitter is disabled by this feature. Simply release
the PTT switch and then quickly press it again.
4.5 CALL GUARD SQUELCH
The Monitor Mode is selected as follows:
4.5.1 INTRODUCTION
1. Briefly press the MON option switch (if available).
The display then indicates “MON” (see Figure 2-3
on page 8) and the receiver unsquelches.
Tone or digital Call Guard squelch (also called
CTCSS/DCS signaling) can be programmed on each
conventional analog transmit and receive channel in
any order desired. The reverse burst and turn-off code
are always transmitted and also detected on channels
programmed with Call Guard squelch.
2. To disable the monitor mode and return to normal
operation, press the MON option switch again.
3. In the scan mode, pressing and holding the MON
option switch monitors the scanned channel instead
of the selected channel (if it is different).
The Call Guard squelch feature eliminates
distracting messages intended for others using the
channel. This is done by using a subaudible tone or
digital code to control the squelch. This tone or code is
unique to a user or a group on that channel. This tone
or code is transmitted with the voice signal but is not
heard because it is in the subaudible range and is attenuated by a filter. Call Guard squelch must be used in
both the transmitting and receiving transceiver to be
functional.
Taking the microphone off-hook also selects the
Monitor mode if off-hook detection is enabled (see
Section 3.15). Pressing the SEL SQ option switch
disables Call Guard squelch/P25 group ID detect but
not scanning and P25 NAC detect (see Section 4.5).
4.4 BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT
4.5.2 CALL GUARD SQUELCH ENABLE/
DISABLE
The Busy Channel Lockout (also called Transmit
Disable on Busy) feature automatically disables the
transmitter if the channel is busy when the PTT switch
is pressed. When the transmitter is disabled by this
feature, “BUSY” is displayed, a busy tone sounds, and
the transmitter is disabled.
The SEL SQ option switch (if programmed) can
be used to disable receive Call Guard squelch on
analog channels or group ID code detect on P25 channels. When selective squelch is disabled, “NORMAL”
is flashed in the display, and when it is enabled,
“SELECTIVE” is flashed.
The Busy Channel Lockout feature can be
programmed to operate as follows. Each conventional
channel can be programmed differently.
When “Normal” is selected, the receiver
unsquelches only if a carrier is detected, and scanning
and P25 NAC detection are not disabled. The selected
mode remains in effect until it is manually changed.
Selecting another channel or cycling power does not
reselect a default condition.
Off - Busy channel lockout is disabled and the transmitter keys even if the channel is busy.
Noise - If a carrier is detected on the channel, the
transmitter is disabled when the PTT switch is pressed.

CONVENTIONAL FEATURES
4.5.3 TONE CALL GUARD SQUELCH
programmed. This feature allows the normal transmit
and receive Call Guard programming to be temporarily overridden with a code selected from this list.
Tone-type Call Guard squelch utilizes subaudible
CTCSS tones from 67-254.1 Hz. Although there are 42
tones assigned, those above 33 (210.7 Hz) are normally
not used because of their close proximity to the voice
band which starts at 300 Hz. In addition, tones 11 (97.4
Hz), 39 (69.3 Hz), 40 (206.5 Hz), 41 229.1 Hz), and 42
(254.1 Hz) are normally not used because they may
cause interference with adjacent tones.
The CTCSS/DCS/NAC list is programmed with
up to sixteen tone (CTCSS) or digital (DCS) Call
Guard codes. In addition, for operation on Project 25
channels, each position can be programmed with an
NAC code.
When the Call Guard code is changed using this
feature, it remains selected even if other channels are
selected. When scanning, the selected code also
applies to all scanned channels. If both analog and
digital (Project 25) channels can be selected or
scanned, the CTCSS/DCS code for the selected position is used for analog channels and the NAC code for
the selected position is used for P25 channels. If a
channel is programmed for mixed mode operation, the
selective squelch type (analog or digital) programmed
for the transmit mode determines the selective squelch
type used.
A reverse burst is transmitted when the push-totalk switch is released and also detected when calls are
received. It is a 180-degree phase reversal for a period
of time determined by the tone frequency, and it eliminates the squelch tail (noise burst) in the receiving
transceiver. Both the transmitting and receiving transceiver must be equipped with this feature for it to be
utilized.
4.5.4 DIGITAL CALL GUARD SQUELCH
Digital Call Guard squelch (CDCSS) uses digital
data instead of subaudible tones to control the squelch.
This data consists of continuous repetitions of 23-bit
words. No bit or word synchronization information is
used. When the push-to-talk switch is released, a turnoff code is transmitted which eliminates the squelch
tail similar to the reverse burst.
Proceed as follows to select a preprogrammed
Call Guard code:
1. Press the Squelch Code Select option switch and
then rotate the Select switch to select the desired
position. The display indicates “SEL SQ xx” where,
“xx” is the selected code from 1-16.
Although there are thousands of possible code
combinations with 23 bits, only 83 are unique with the
data scheme used. The number specified when the
code is programmed is actually a seed for a special
algorithm used to generate the 23-bit data word. The
data is transmitted at a rate of 134.4 bits per second.
Therefore, approximately six words are transmitted
each second. When the data is decoded, 23-bit samples
are taken and then the bits are rotated to determine if a
valid code was received.
2. To select the displayed code and return to the normal
display, press the Squelch Code Select switch again.
3. To check which code is selected, press the Squelch
Code Select switch once to display the current selection and then again to return to normal operation.
4. To return to the normal selective squelch codes,
select “DEFAULT” in this mode. The normal codes
are also automatically reselected whenever transceiver power is cycled or a talk-around channel is
selected.
4.5.5 SELECTING CALL GUARD CODE
NOTE: Call Guard codes may be permanently reprogrammed by keypad programming (see Section 4.14).
4.6 PENALTY TIMER
A different CTCSS/DCS/NAC squelch code can
be temporarily selected if the Squelch Code Select
option switch and a CTCSS/NAC code list have been

FREQUENCY
transmitter (see Section 3.9). The penalty timer starts
when the PTT switch is released after the transmitter
has been disabled. If the PTT switch is pressed during
the penalty time, the time-out indication occurs again.
When the penalty timer expires, a beep sounds and the
transmitter can then be keyed.
If the DISP option switch is programmed, it can
be used to display the channel frequency in megahertz.
Pressing this switch toggles between displaying the
standard channel alias and the frequency. The receive
frequency is displayed while receiving and the
transmit frequency is displayed while transmitting.
This feature is available on conventional channels
only.
4.7 CONVERSATION TIMER
A conversation timer can be programmed on
conventional systems in addition to the time-out timer
(see Section 3.9). This timer limits that total length of
a conversation rather than just the length of each transmission as with the time-out timer. The following is
more information on this timer.
•
•
•
•
4.10 EMERGENCY MODE
An EMER option switch may be programmed on
conventional channels to alert a dispatcher or someone
else of an emergency condition.
When this switch is pressed with a Project 25
(digital) channel selected, all transmissions have the
emergency flag set. Scanning is disabled and the transceiver remains in the emergency mode until power is
cycled.
It can be programmed for times up to 7.5 minutes.
It is reset when the time between transmissions
exceeds the time programmed for the penalty timer.
A warning beep sounds 5 seconds before this timer
disables the transmitter.
When this timer disables the transmitter, a continuous tone sounds and the red transmit indicator
turns off. The PTT switch must then be released
until the penalty timer expires (indicated by a beep).
Emergency conditions are not transmitted when
an analog channel is selected. However, if it is pressed
on an analog channel and a Project 25 channel is
selected before power is turned off, the emergency
condition is transmitted on the Project 25 channel as
just described.
4.8 REPEATER TALK-AROUND
4.11 CONVENTIONAL MODE SCANNING
Normally, all transmissions go through a repeater
which usually increases range. However, there may be
times when a mobile is out of range of the repeater and
therefore unable to talk to anyone even though the
mobile being called is only a short distance away. To
allow communication in this situation, repeater talkaround can be selected. Transmissions then occur on
the receive frequency which permits direct mobile-tomobile communication.
4.11.1 GENERAL
Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 3.16 and 3.17.
The following information describes features unique
to conventional operation.
4.11.2 SELECTING A SCAN LIST
Repeater talk-around can be selected if the RTA
option switch is programmed. When talk-around is
enabled by this switch, “RTA ON” is flashed in the
display, and when it is disabled, “RTA OFF” is
flashed. This feature remains enabled during scanning,
and changing channels or turning power off does not
change the selected condition. Talk-around is available
on conventional channels only.
Conventional mode scan lists are selected by
repeatedly pressing the Scan option switch. For
example, if three scan lists are programmed, the first
press of the Scan switch activates scanning and scan
list 1, the second press activates scan list 2, the third
press activates scan list 3, and the fourth press disables
scanning and then the cycle repeats. The currently
selected scan list is flashed in the display as “SCAN

When scanning and the selected channel is a
priority channel, (selected and preprogrammed??)“P”
is indicated in the left status display next to the zone
number as follows:
4.11.3 TRANSMITTING IN SCAN MODE
Each conventional scan list can be programmed
for one of the following modes. These modes determine if priority sampling occurs and also the channel
on which transmissions occur while scanning. Refer to
the next section for more information.
No Priority - No priority channel sampling occurs
when the list is selected. The radio transmits on the
selected channel.
Priority Indicator
The conventional priority channel is sampled
only when scanning conventional channels. It does not
occur with radio-wide scanning, when listening to a
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked call, or when
transmitting. A series of “ticks” may be heard when
the priority channel is sampled while listening to a
message on some other conventional channel.
Priority/Tx Priority - Priority sampling occurs and
the priority channel is the one programmed in the
selected scan list. The radio transmits on the priority
channel.
Priority/Tx Selected - Priority sampling occurs and
the priority channel is the one programmed in the
selected scan list. The radio transmits on the selected
channel.
The priority sampling times are programmed by
the following parameters:
Priority on Selected - The priority channel is always
the selected channel. The radio transmits on the
selected channel.
Lookback Time A - This time determines how often
the priority channel is checked for activity. Times of
0.25-4.00 seconds in 0.25-second steps can be
programmed.
Talkback - No priority sampling occurs. The radio
transmits on the channel of a call while scanning is
halted. Then once scanning resumes, it transmits on
the selected channel.
Lookback Time B - This time determines how often
the priority channel is checked once an incorrect Call
Guard (CTCSS/DCS) or NAC code is detected. Since
it takes much longer to detect an incorrect Call Guard
signal than a carrier, this time should be relatively long
to prevent the interruptions from making a message
difficult to understand. Times of 0.5-8.0 seconds can
be programmed in 0.5-second steps.
4.11.4 PRIORITY CHANNEL SAMPLING
NOTE: The following describes priority sampling
when scanning conventional channels. Priority
sampling when scanning SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25
Trunked channels is described in Section 5.11.2.
Changing The Priority Channel
General
NOTE: The priority channel can also be changed
when editing a scan list as described on Section
3.17.5.
The priority channel sampling feature ensures
that when listening to messages on a non-priority
channel when standard scanning, messages on the
priority channel are not missed. The transceiver can be
programmed as just described so that the priority

1. Make sure that both standard and radio wide scanning are off (the rotating icon is not indicated in
the right status display).
1. Select or scan the channel programmed for the call
you want to receive (refer to Section 4.11 for more
scanning information).
2. Select the channel that you want to be the priority
channel using the Select switch in the normal
manner. If the channel is in a different zone, also
select the appropriate zone.
2. When the call is received, take the microphone offhook and press the PTT switch to talk and release it
to listen. If scanning, you may have to respond
before scanning resumes to ensure that the response
occurs on the channel of the call.
3. Press the PRI SEL option switch and “P” is indicated in the left status display as just described to
indicate that the selected channel is now the priority
channel.
3. When the call is finished, place the microphone
back on-hook.
4.12 STANDARD CONVENTIONAL CALLS
4.13 PROJECT 25 MODE FEATURES
Standard conventional calls can be placed to other
mobile units monitoring the selected channel. The
proper coded Call Guard squelch tone or code may
need to be transmitted by your transceiver for them to
receive your call (see Section 4.5).
4.13.1 VIEWING INDIVIDUAL ID
Each transceiver which operates on Project 25
(digital) channels is assigned an eight-digit individual
ID. This number is unique for each transceiver and can
be any number from 1-16,777,216. When power is
turned on with a Project 25 channel selected, this ID is
briefly displayed.
Placing a Standard Conventional Call
1. Turn power on and set the volume as described in
Section 3.1 on page 9. Select the channel
programmed for the mobile you want to call (see
Section 3.6 on page 10).
4.13.2 GROUP IDS
Each Project 25 channel is programmed with a
group ID that determines which group of mobiles will
receive the call. A call is received on a channel if a
selected or scanned channel is programmed with that
group ID and the correct NAC is detected (see
following). Group IDs can be any number from
0-65,535. Group ID detect can be disabled by the
Normal/Selective squelch function described in
Section 4.5.
2. Monitor the channel automatically or manually as
described in Section 4.2 on page 19.
3. Press the PTT switch and the call proceeds as
follows:
•
•
If the Busy Channel Lockout feature is
programmed on the channel, the transmitter is
automatically disabled if the channel is busy (see
Section 4.4).
4.13.3 CODED SQUELCH
Project 25 conventional channels also use a NAC
(Network Access Code) to control which calls are
received on a channel. The NAC can be 0-4095, and
each transmit and receive channel can be programmed
for a different code. Other operation, such as monitoring before transmitting, is similar to that of standard
analog channels. NAC (and group ID) detect can be
disabled by the monitor mode described in Section 4.3.
Otherwise, busy and out-of-range conditions are
not indicated and speaking can begin after monitoring the channel.
4. Press (and hold) the PTT switch to talk and release
it to listen. When the call is finished, place the
microphone back on-hook.

2. If required, rotate the Select switch to display the
desired call. The alias and ID of the unit calls that
have been programmed are alternately displayed.
Group calls are placed by simply selecting the
channel programmed for the desired group, monitoring
the channel if required, and transmitting. If the TG
SEL option switch is programmed, the talk group
assigned to a channel can be changed by the user. The
new talk group continues to be assigned to the channel
even after radio power is cycled or another channel is
selected. To change a channel talk group, proceed as
follows:
3. Press and then release the PTT switch. Ringing is
then heard and “WAIT” displayed to indicate that
the mobile is being rung. To disable this ringing but
not the call, briefly press the PTT switch again.
Ringing occurs for 20 seconds or until the call is
answered, whichever occurs first.
4. When a unit ID call is received, two beeps sound (if
tones are enabled), and “Call Rcvd” and the alias or
frequency of the currently selected talk group are
alternately flashed.
1. Select the channel to be changed and then press the
TG SEL option switch.
The transceiver may also be programmed to display
the alias of the channel on which the call is being
received (if it is not the same as the selected
channel) and/or the ID of the mobile placing the
call.
2. Rotate the Select switch to display the talk group to
be assigned to that channel. Talk groups are indicated by a unique identification in the alphanumeric
display.
3. To select that talk group and return to normal operation, press the TG SEL switch again or press the
Select switch. If talk group selection has been
disabled on the channel by programming, the talk
group does not change, “NO LIST” is displayed,
and a tone sounds.
5. To respond, select the Unit Call mode by pressing
the CALL option key. The following operation then
occurs:
•
If a unit call has been programmed with the ID of
the calling mobile, it is automatically selected. A
response can then be made without changing the
selected channel.
•
If no Unit Call has been programmed with the ID
of the calling mobile, a response may have to be
made in the standard mode.
4.13.5 UNIT (INDIVIDUAL) CALLS
Unit calls (also called Individual Calls) can be
placed to a specific radio on Project 25 channels If the
CALL option switch is programmed. Only the individual ID of the target radio is sent (a talk group ID is
not sent). The mobiles that can be called are preprogrammed in the unit call list.
If the call timer times out (set by programming)
or the channel is changed before a response is made,
the unit call mode is exited.
To receive a unit call, the RF channel of the call
must be selected or scanned and the correct NAC and
unit ID must be detected. The ID of the calling radio is
then transmitted back. To respond to the call, the transceiver must be programmed with the unit ID option
switch, and have a Unit Call programmed with the ID
of the calling mobile.

in a fixed location). Most calls are probably this type.
Proceed as follows to place and receive these calls.
A SMARTNET/SmartZone channel may be
programmed with a Talk Group and/or Announcement Group ID plus an Emergency ID. When a call is
received on a channel programmed with both Talk and
Announcement groups, only the Talk and Announcement group IDs are detected. Other IDs in the
Announcement group are detected only if no talk
group is programmed. The emergency ID is used for
the emergency alarm and call (see Section 5.9).
Proceed as follows to place and receive group calls:

Emergency Alarms
3. To exit this mode, power must be turned off.
An emergency alarm is a special data transmission on the selected talk group that alerts a dispatcher
of an emergency situation. It is transmitted on the
currently selected talk group. Proceed as follows to
activate an emergency alarm:
5.10 FAILSOFT OPERATION
If a failure occurs in the SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 Trunked system so that it cannot be used,
the transceiver automatically enters the failsoft mode.

channel that has this feature enabled and then press
the Emergency option switch. The radio then begins
automatically transmitting an emergency alarm data
message and “EMERGNCY” is indicated in the
display for 3 seconds.
When in the failsoft mode, operation is in the
conventional mode on a preprogrammed failsoft
channel. A different failsoft channel can be
programmed for each talk group. If a transmission is
attempted before a failsoft channel is located, a continuous tone sounds until the PTT switch is released.
When the radio system returns to normal operation,
this condition is automatically detected and normal
operation resumes.
2. When the emergency alarm is acknowledged by the
system, “ACK RCVD” is briefly displayed and the
emergency acknowledge tone (two beeps) sounds.
Silent operation may also be programmed in which
case no tone sounds and there is no indication that
an acknowledgment occurred.
5.11 SMARTNET/SMARTZONE/P25 TRUNKED
SCANNING FEATURES
3. The radio continues to transmit this message until an
acknowledgment is received or the programmed
number of attempts have been made. To exit this
mode, power must be turned off.
5.11.1 GENERAL
Scanning on a SMARTNET/Smartzone or P25
Trunked system is called Priority Monitor Scan. The
following are unique features of this type of scanning.
For general scanning information applicable to all operating modes, refer to Sections 3.16 and 3.17
Emergency Calls
An emergency call urgently requests access to a
voice channel. It is transmitted on the preprogrammed
emergency talk group. To place this call, proceed as
follows:
1. Select a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel that has
this feature enabled and press the Emergency option
switch. The emergency mode is indicated when
“ACK RCVD” is briefly displayed and then
“EMERGNCY” and the emergency talk group are
alternately displayed.
2. To place the emergency call, manually press the
PTT switch and begin speaking as with a standard
call. All group calls which follow are then emergency calls (private/unit and call alert calls are not
allowed). If the channel is changed, the call is made
on the emergency talk group programmed for the
new channel.
33
•
Scanning is turned on and off by the SCAN option
switch. Talk groups (channels) can be programmed
so that scanning automatically starts whenever the
talk group is selected (Autoscan).
•
When responding to calls in the scan mode, the
programming of the Talkback Scan parameter determines if a response always occurs on the talk group
of the call (Active Group) or the Selected Group if
they are different. Transmissions at other times
always occur on the selected talk group.
•
Up to 256 scan lists or the number that fit in available memory can be programmed. Each list can
include up to 256 talk groups from the same system,
one of which can be a priority group as described in
the next section.

2. The currently selected list is displayed as “List x”,
with “x” the currently selected list. To exit without
changing the selected list, simply press the Scan List
option switch again.
•
Each talk group is programmed to select one of the
programmed scan lists or “No List” (scanning is
disabled). If scanning is enabled and the selected
channel does not permit scanning, it is automatically
enabled again when a channel is selected that
permits scanning.
3. To select another list, “Programmed”, or “No List”,
rotate the Select switch. When the desired list is
displayed, select it and exit this mode by pressing
the Scan List option switch again.
5.12 DYNAMIC REGROUPING
•
•
The selected scan list can be temporarily changed if
the Scan (List) Select option switch is programmed.
The procedure is described in Section 5.11.3.
NOTE: This feature is not available with P25
trunked operation.??
In addition to calls on channels in the scan list,
pages, private/unit calls, and telephone calls are
received while scanning. Private and telephone calls
are not interrupted by priority messages.
The dynamic regrouping feature allows a
dispatcher to switch mobiles to a newly defined
channel to receive an important message. Dynamic
regrouping operates as follows:
5.11.2 PRIORITY TALK GROUP SAMPLING
1. When this command is received, an alternating tone
and the transceiver automatically changes to the
regrouping channel and “DYN REGRP” is
displayed.
One talk group in the scan list can be designated a
priority talk group by programming or it can be the
selected talk group. When scanning, messages on a
non-priority talk group are interrupted by messages on
the priority talk group.
5.11.3 SCAN LIST EDITING AND SELECTION
2. Manually select the channel corresponding to that
tag. If this is not done, transmission still occurs on
the new channel, but the alternating tones sound
each time the PTT switch is pressed.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked scan
lists are user programmable if the SCN ED option
switch is programmed. The procedure is described in
Section 3.17.5 on page 15.
3. Talk and listen as usual. The dispatcher will cancel
dynamic regrouping as indicated by a short tone. If
a standard channel is not selected after this occurs,
an error tone periodically sounds.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked scan
lists are user selectable if the Scan (List) Select option
switch is programmed. This switch can be used to
temporarily select another scan list for all talk and
announcement groups in the current system.

of many features. This usually refers to the programming performed by your system operator when the
radio was set up, not to any programming that a user
can perform. If a feature is controlled by a front panel
option switch and that switch is not available, it is
probably not available.
Medium Tone (No Acknowledge)
•
•
•
The paged mobile did not acknowledge the page
(page 31).
The message that was sent has not been acknowledged (page 32).
The status condition that was sent has not been
acknowledged (page 32).
An exception is Keypad Programming which can
allow the user to reprogram several conventional
channel parameters. Refer to Section 4.14 on page 25
for more information.
Five Beeps (Recurring)
•
The page was received (page 31).
6.3 SPEAKING INTO MICROPHONE
Two Short Tones
•
For best results, hold the microphone about 1-2
inches from your mouth and speak at a normal conversational level. Do not shout since it distorts your voice
and does not increase range. Make sure that the PTT
(push-to-talk) switch is pressed before you begin to
speak and released as soon as the message is complete.
A unit-to-unit call was received (page 29).
Five Beeps
•
•
•
The paged mobile received the page and acknowledged it (page 31).
The message that was sent has been received and
acknowledged (page 32).
The status condition that was sent has been received
and acknowledged (page 32).
6.4 OPERATION AT EXTENDED RANGE
When approaching the limits of radio range, the
other party may not be able to hear your transmissions
and there may be an increase in background noise
when messages are received. You may still be out of
range even though you can hear a message. The reason
for this is that the signal you are receiving is usually
transmitted at a higher power level than the one transmitted by your transceiver. Communication may be
improved by moving to higher ground or away from
shielding objects such as tall buildings or hills.
Four Beeps
•
The emergency alarm condition was acknowledged
(page 32).
Gurgle-Like Tone
•
•
Dynamic regrouping has occurred (page 34).
Dynamic regrouping has occurred but the
regrouping channel is not selected (page 34).
6.5 PREVENTING BATTERY DISCHARGE
Busy Signal
•
In the standby mode (power on, not transmitting),
transceiver power consumption is relatively low.
Therefore, you can probably leave the transceiver on
for one or two days without operating the vehicle and
the battery should not become seriously discharged.
However, if the outdoor temperature is low enough to
significantly decrease battery capacity, the transceiver
should be turned off when not in use.
The radio system is busy or a busy condition exists
when making a telephone call.
Three Medium Pitch Tones
•
A channel is available after a busy condition
occurred (SMARTNET/SmartZone only).
Since power consumption is significantly higher
when transmitting, it is good practice to have the
vehicle running while transmitting. This ensures that
optimum power is being delivered to the transceiver
and that the battery does not become discharged.
6.2 SYSTEM OPERATOR PROGRAMMING
As noted several times in this manual, programming determines the availability and specific operation

MISCELLANEOUS
6.6 LICENSING
If some other problem is occurring, turn power
off and then on again to reset the control logic. Also
make sure that the controls are properly set and that
the power, external speaker, and accessory cables (if
used) are securely plugged into the back of the transceiver.
A government license is usually required to
operate this transceiver on the air.
6.7 TRANSCEIVER SERVICE
If the transceiver is completely inoperative, check
the power cable fuse that is usually located near the
vehicle battery. If it is blown, remedy the cause if
possible and replace it with the same type (15A). If the
transceiver still does not operate properly, return it to
your system operator for service.
If “UNPROGRAMD” is displayed, the cause
could be any of the following:
•
•
An unprogrammed channel is selected. Select a
programmed channel.
The selected channel is programmed for an option
that is not installed or an error in programming was
detected. Contact your system operator for service.
NOTE: There are no user-serviceable components in
the transceiver. Altering internal adjustments can cause
illegal emissions, void the warranty, and result in
improper operation that can seriously damage the
transceiver.
If no characters or all characters appear in the
display, the viewing angle may be improperly
adjusted. Refer to Section 3.3 on page 9 for more
information.
