RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and
Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements
Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and
control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines.
Note
This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC
limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any
other use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to
provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio
frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power,
sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very
high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with organizations to
develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended
levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF
exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in
North America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet government
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important
because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on
how to control it. Please refer to the following web sites for more information on what RF
energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits.
• http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
• http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits
for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios
are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and
able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information.
Your EFJohnson two-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your EFJohnson
user manual, or product manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and

operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your EFJohnson two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of
national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human
exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE
and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty
factors of up to 50% talk and 100% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational
use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines,
your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during
talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your EFJohnson two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47
CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push
the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting
50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum
lateral distance away, as shown in Table 1, from a properly installed according to
installation instructions, externally-mounted antenna.

Note
The following table lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for bystanders in an
uncontrolled environment from transmitting types of antennas (i.e., monopoles over a
ground plane, or dipoles) at several different ranges of rated radio power for mobile
radios installed in a vehicle.

Mobile Antennas
• Install antennas at the center of the roof or the center of the trunk deck taking into
account the bystander exposure conditions of backseat passengers and the
recommended minimum lateral distances in Table 1. These mobile antenna installation
guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground
planes. The antenna installation should additionally be in accordance with:
• The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.
• Instructions in the Radio Installation Manual, including minimum antenna cable
lengths.
• The installation manual should provide specific information of how to install the
antennas to facilitate recommended operating distances to all potentially exposed
persons.
• Use only EFJohnson-approved supplied antenna or EFJohnson-approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the radio
and may violate FCC regulations. Antennas tested with EFJohnson radios are listed
below.

General Operation
Section 3
This section provides general information about the operation of the 5300 ES Mobile
radios. The following information is discussed:
• Turning Power On/Off and Setting the Volume
• Passwords
• Backlight controls and display viewing
• Displaying and Selecting Zones/Channels
• Setting Squelch Control
• Transmit Disable
• Radio Operating Modes
3.1
Turning Power On and Setting Volume
Power is turned on and off by pressing the On-Off/Volume knob. When power is turned
on, the radio goes through a self test. When that is successfully completed, the unit ID is
briefly displayed (except when a conventional analog channel is selected), 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.
The radio can be programmed so that one of the following combinations are selected at
power up:
• Last Zone/Last Channel
HOME 2?
• Last Zone/Home Channel
• Home Zone/Last Channel
• Home Zone/Home Channel
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual

The Home Zone and Channel are preprogrammed. With the “Last Zone”/“Home Channel”
configuration, the programmed home channel number of the last active zone is selected. If
this channel number is not programmed in the active zone, “Unprogramd” is displayed.
With earlier models, the last selected channel is displayed when powering up on the last
selected zone, and the home channel is displayed when powering up on the home zone.
Note
In dual control configurations (front mount radio with remote control unit), the power
switches at both control points must be off for power to turn off.
3.1.1
Setting Volume Level
The relative volume setting can be determined using a reference tone as follows:
• If the key press tones are enabled (see Section 4.5), a short tone sounds when an option
switch is pressed or the Select switch is pressed or rotated.
• 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 5.3 on page 25), pressing it unsquelches the radio and either voice or
background noise is heard. If a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel is
selected, the radio cannot be manually unsquelched.
3.2
Power-Up Password
The power-up password feature prevents unauthorized use of the radio by requiring that an
eight-digit password be entered to make it operational. This feature is enabled or disabled
by programming.
When it is enabled, “ENTER PSWD” is briefly displayed when power is turned on, the
eight-digit numeric password must be entered by pressing and rotating the Select switch. If
an incorrect password is entered, “INCORRECT” is displayed and it must be re-entered.
3.2.1
Password Features With Later Models
An enhanced password scheme allows up to four power-on (user) passwords, download
and upload passwords, and a master password to be programmed.
The current User password can be changed if the “PW CHG” option switch is
programmed. Selecting this function displays prompts for entering and confirming a new
password. Refer to Section 10 for more information on passwords.

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. The backlight is totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is
programmed (see Section 4.9).
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.
Note
3.4
If the display appears blank or all icons are continuously displayed, the viewing angle is
probably improperly adjusted.
Zone/Channel Display and Select
3.4.1
Zone/Channel Display
The selected zone and channel numbers are displayed by the zone and channel displays
shown in the following illustration. In addition, the selected zone identification (alias) is
displayed in the alphanumeric display area when the zone select mode is enabled, and the
channel alias is displayed when the channel select mode is enabled (see following). With
conventional channels, the channel frequency may be displayed instead of the alias if the
Display Information option switch is programmed (see Section 5.8).
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. One use for zones may be for operation in
different geographical areas.

3.4.2
Zone/Channel Select
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.
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 radio may also be programmed so that only programmed channels are selected.
The radio 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.
3.4.3
Direct Channel Select
The direct Channel Select feature is available with the HHC* (Handheld Control Unit)
only, and if the Channel Select option switch parameter is programmed. This feature
allows channels to be directly selected using the HHC numeric keys or Up/Down switch.
For direct selection purposes, channels are numbered sequentially starting with the lowest
zone. Each zone can be programmed with up to 16 channels, so Zone 1 channels are
numbered 1-16, Zone 2 channels 17-32, and so on as shown below. For example, Zone 1/
Channel 16 is selected by Channel 16, and Zone 2/Channel 16 is selected by Channel 32.

Proceed as follows to select channels using this mode:
1 Enable the direct Channel Select mode by pressing the Channel Select option switch.
The alias and sequential number of the current channel are alternately displayed.
2 Select the desired channel using the Up/Down keys or directly enter it using the 0-9
keys. If using the 0-9 keys, the radio attempts to display the entered number after the
third digit is entered or approximately two seconds after the last key is pressed.
3 To exit this mode and select the entered channel, press the Channel Select switch again.
This mode is also exited automatically without changing the channel after
approximately one minute of no activity.
Note
The Channel Select function should probably not be assigned to a number key because
pressing that key to select a channel then exits the select mode.
Other features of this mode are as follows:
• When using the Up/Down keys, wrap-around to the lowest zone/channel occurs after
the last channel in the highest programmed zone is displayed and vice versa. For
example, if Zone 1/Channel 5 is the highest programmed channel, wrap-around occurs
after Zone 1/Channel 16 is displayed.
• When an unprogrammed channel is displayed, the sequential channel number and
“Unprogramd” are alternately displayed.
• If an invalid channel number is entered using the 0-9 keys, or the Channel Select option
switch is pressed with “Unprogramd” displayed, an error tones sounds, “Invalid” is
briefly displayed, and the displayed channel does not change.
3.5
Setting Squelch Control
This radio 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 5.17 on page 36).
3.6
Transmit Disable
Transmitting can be disabled on each conventional, SMARTNET, SmartZone, and P25
Trunked channel so that the channel is monitor-only. When transmitting is attempted on a
receive-only channel, “Rx Only” is displayed and an error tone sounds.

3.7
Radio Operating Modes
Each selectable channel can be programmed for the conventional (analog or Project 25
digital), 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. More information on these modes follows.
3.7.1
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.
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 Project 25 operation, a NAC is transmitted and it must match the NAC programmed
in the base equipment and the mobile(s) being called for communication to occur. In
addition, to receive standard group calls, the receiving mobile must be programmed to
detect the transmitted talk group ID code.
With conventional operation, a busy channel condition is detected automatically if the
busy channel lockout (transmit disable on busy) feature is programmed. Otherwise, it must
be detected manually. An out-of-range condition is not indicated by special tones or
messages as with SMARTNET operation because there is no initial data exchange with the
repeater that allows this condition to be detected. Operating features unique to
conventional channels are described in Section 5.
3.7.2
SMARTNET/SmartZone Mode
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.
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 SMARTNET/SmartZone features include
roaming (SmartZone only), telephone, private, and emergency calls, Call Alert™, and
messaging. Either analog or digital signaling may be used.
-6
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
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” (early units) or “Out Rnge” (later
units) is displayed and the radio continues to search for a control channel.
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. Operating features unique to SMARTNET/
SmartZone channels are described in Section 6.
3.7.3
P25 Trunked Mode
The P25 Trunked operating features are very similar to the SmartZone type just described.
Since SmartZone features are also similar to SMARTNET features, all three modes are
described in Section 6. Some differences 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
SMARTNET/SmartZone mode they are called Private Calls.
• Messaging is not available with P25 calls.
• Telephone calls are available in this mode.
• 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, Wide Area Communications Network (WACN) ID,
and 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).
3.7.4
Systems, Channels, and Zones
A zone and channel are selected to place and receive calls. The following describes the
relationship between systems, channels, and zones.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual

3.7.4.1
Systems
A system is a collection of channels or talk groups belonging to the same repeater site. It
defines all the parameters and protocol information required to access a site. Up to 16
systems of any type can be programmed.
The maximum number of channels assignable to a system is limited to 256. Channels may
also be limited by available memory space as described in the following information.
3.7.4.2
Channels
A channel selects a radio (RF) channel or talk group as follows:
Conventional Analog Mode - A channel selects a specific radio channel, Call Guard
(CTCSS/DCS) squelch coding, and other parameters unique to that channel.
Conventional Project 25 Mode - A channel selects a specific radio channel, NAC
squelch coding, talk group ID, and other parameters unique to that channel.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and Trunked Project 25 Modes - A channel selects a
specific talk group, announcement group, emergency group, and other parameters
unique to that talk group.
A maximum of up to approximately 256 channels can be programmed with the preceding
modes. These channels can belong to a single system or multiple systems. The maximum
number is also limited by the available memory. For example, since more memory is
required to program a SMARTNET system than a conventional system, the total number
of channels decreases as the number of SMARTNET channels increases. The
programming software displays a bar graph which shows the amount of available memory
space that is used by the current data.
3.7.4.3
Zones
A zone is a collection of up to 16 channels of any type. For example, a zone could include
12 conventional channels and four SMARTNET channels. One use of zones may be to
program the channels used for operation in a different geographical areas. The maximum
number of zones is 16.

transmitter is disabled, a continuous tone sounds, and “TX TIMEOUT” is displayed. Five
seconds before time-out occurs, a warning beep sounds to indicate that time-out is
approaching. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.
A different time can be programmed for each system, and the timer can be enabled or
disabled on each conventional channel. With conventional channels, a penalty time can
also be programmed that prevents further transmissions for a certain time after the
transmitter is disabled (see Section 5.5).
One use of this feature is to prevent a channel from being kept busy for an extended period
by an accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent possible transmitter damage
caused by transmitting for an excessively long period.

Home Zone-Channel Select
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. Pressing and holding this switch until a tone sounds makes the currently
selected zone the new Home zone. The radio is also programmed so that either the home
or last selected zone/channel is automatically selected when power is turned on (see
Section 3.1). A secondary Home Zone, Home2, may also be programmed.
4.4
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 or system, the Tx PWR option switch can then be used to
select high or low transmitter power. All models support switchable power.
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 or system, the fixed power level is flashed
and no power change occurs. The selected power level is permanent until it is manually
changed again.The power levels are set at the factory or when the radio is tuned using the
PCTune™ software. The factory default low power setting is one-half the high power
setting.
4.5
Alert Tone Select
The various alert tones that sound are described in Section 7.1. 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. Alert tones are totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is
programmed (see Section 4.9).
The Alert Tone volume can be adjusted relative to the volume control setting. This is done
by programming and also by the user if the TN VOL option switch is programmed.
Relative levels of –170 to +170 can be set with “0” the default setting. A minus value
decreases the tone volume and a plus value increases it. The user adjusted level
permanently overrides the programmed level if applicable.

Power Turn-Off Delay
The radio can be installed so that the vehicle ignition switch as well as the front panel
power switch of the radio 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 ES Service Manual for more information. A power-off delay of up to 254 minutes
can then be programmed or this feature can be disabled by programming “Forever” so
there is no automatic power off.
Both the ignition switch and the power switch must then be on for radio 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.
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 radio is
left on for an extended period (see Section 7.6).
4.7
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 ES Service Manual for more information on how to
install this feature.
Additional information on the horn alert feature follows:
• It activates when receiving any Unit call in the P25 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 Unit call is received.

Microphone Off-Hook Detect
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:
Conventional Channel Selected - Scanning temporarily halts (if applicable) and the
Monitor Mode described in Section 5.2 is enabled. However, the receiver unsquelches
only if a carrier is detected.
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Channel Selected - Scanning temporarily
halts if applicable.
If the off-hook condition is not detected (Hangup Box Monitor not selected), the
microphone hook state has no affect on radio operation.
4.9
Surveillance Mode
If the Surveillance mode is programmed, the backlight, all alert tones, and front panel
LED indicator are totally disabled in all operating modes.
This feature can be turned on and off by the user if the SURVLC option switch is
programmed. The user selected mode permanently overrides the programmed mode if
applicable.
4.10 Public Address
An external public address system can be connected to pin 7 of the radio accessory pigtail
cable. This is a low level output, so some sort of PA amplifier is required. The External PA
option switch is required to control this feature.
In the public address mode, microphone audio is always routed to the PA system, and the
radio can be programmed so that receive audio is also routed. When the PA is enabled/
disabled, “Ext PA On/Off” is displayed momentarily. The radio can also be programmed
to display “Ext PA On” continuously.
4.11 Scanning
Scanning monitors the channels in the scan list for messages the radio 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).
-6
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
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 radio operation. When a call is
received in the scan mode, the alias of the channel on which a call is received (and any
other display parameters that may be programmed) are displayed until scanning resumes.
The selected channel alias is then displayed if applicable.
There are two scan modes available: Priority (standard) and Radio Wide. The operation of
the priority type is unique to the type of channel selected, and the operation of the Radio
Wide type is the same regardless of the channel type selected. Only one type of scanning
can be enabled at a time. For example, if priority scanning is enabled and Radio Wide
Scan is enabled, priority scanning is automatically disabled and vice versa. Refer to the
following for more information.
4.11.1 Priority (Standard) Scanning
Priority scanning (also referred to as 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 in the Conventional mode, refer to
Section 5.10, and for more information on how it functions in the other modes, refer to
Section 6.11. Scanning is turned on and off by the Scan option switch as follows. If this
switch is not programmed, scanning is not available.
• To turn priority scanning on, press the SCAN option switch. Scanning is enabled when
a rotating is indicated in the right status display as follows and “SCAN ON” is briefly
displayed.
Scan Enable Indicator
• To turn scanning off, press the SCAN option switch again. On conventional channels
with early versions of firmware, this may also select another list, so several presses may
be required (see Section 5.10). 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 4.12.1).
Note
December 2006
Each SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked channel can be programmed so that
scanning is automatically enabled when the channel is selected.

4.11.2 Radio Wide Scanning
Note
Use radio wide scanning only if two different types of channels need to be scanned at the
same time such as conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone. Otherwise, use the more
efficient priority scanning because there is less chance of missed calls.
Radio wide scanning monitors the channels in the preprogrammed radio wide scan list.
This scan list may contain up to 16 channels of any type assigned to any zone (see
Section 4.12.2). Radio wide scanning is turned on and off by the RWS option switch as
follows. If this switch is not programmed, radio wide scanning is not available.
• To turn radio wide scanning on, press the RWS option switch and “RW SCN ON” is
briefly displayed. In addition, is displayed the same as with priority scanning.
• To turn radio wide scanning off, press the RWS option switch again and “RW SCN
OFF” is briefly displayed and is no longer displayed.
• If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide scanning, scanning continues
normally.
4.11.3 Scan Hold Time
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 priority scanning. With radio
wide and conventional priority scanning, delays of 0-7.5 seconds are programmable in 0.5second steps. With SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked priority scanning, a scan
delay of 2-10 seconds can be programmed in 0.5-second steps. The radio wide time is
programmed on the Radio Wide screen and the Priority time is programmed on the
applicable Per System screen.
4.11.4 Transmitting in the Scan Mode
Priority Scan Mode - When the transmitter is keyed while scanning is enabled, the
transmission may occur on various channels as follows.
Conventional Operation - Transmissions can be programmed to always occur on
the priority, selected, or receive channel (if applicable). Refer to Section 5.10 for
more information.
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Operation - If scanning is halted to
receive a message, programming determines if transmissions occur on the selected or
active channel. Transmissions at other times occur on the selected channel.
-8
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
Radio Wide Scan Mode - The radio can be programmed to transmit on the selected or
active channel similar to SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operation just
described.
4.11.5 Nuisance Channel Delete
With priority scanning, channels can be temporarily deleted from the scan list, for
example, if messages become annoying. This feature is not available with radio wide
scanning. Channels can also be permanently added or deleted from a scan list as described
in the next sections. 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). The channel is then
deleted and scanning of the remaining channels in the scan list resumes.
Note
Pressing and holding this switch on a conventional channel with scanning off may select
the scan list. Refer to Section 5.10.1 for more information.
2 Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if any of the following events occur:
• Scanning is turned off and then on again using the SCAN option switch.
• Radio 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).
4.12 Scan Lists
4.12.1 Priority Mode Scan Lists
Note
The selected channel is always scanned.
A scan list is simply the channels that are scanned when scanning is enabled. With all
operating modes, as many priority scan lists as are required can usually be programmed
(up to 255). The only limitation is the available memory. Each list can include up to 256
channels/talk groups. More information follows on selecting and editing priority scan lists.

Conventional Features
Section 5
An overview of the conventional operating mode is located in Section 3.7.1. The
following information describes the features unique to analog and Project 25 (digital)
conventional operation. Refer to the preceding “Radio Wide Features” section (Section 4)
for information on features common to all operating modes.
5.1
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 SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked operation, monitoring is performed
automatically. Monitor conventional channels automatically or manually as follows:
5.1.1
Automatic Channel Monitoring
If the selected channel is programmed for Busy Channel Lockout (also called Transmit
Disable On Busy), monitoring is performed automatically. Refer to Section 5.3 for more
information on this feature.
5.1.2
Manual Channel Monitoring
The automatic monitoring just described may occasionally disable the transmitter when
the channel is not in use, such as if 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:
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-1
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 a call can be
transmitted. If it is green, a carrier is being detected, so the channel may be busy.
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) or by the Normal/Selective option switch
(see Section 5.4.1).
5.2
Monitor Mode
The monitor mode unsquelches the receiver and monitors the channel even if a carrier is
not detected. Other features of this mode 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.
The Monitor Mode operates as follows:
1 To monitor the transmit frequency for activity before transmitting, briefly press the
MON option switch. The display then indicates “MON” (see Figure 2.3) and the
receiver unsquelches.
2 To monitor the receive frequency instead, press and hold the MON option switch until a
tone sounds (approximately two seconds). This can be used, for example, to improve
reception if intermittent squelching is making a weak message difficult to understand.
Note
If microphone off-hook detection is enabled, the opposite of the above occurs.
3 To disable the monitor mode and return to normal operation, press the MON option
switch again.
If off-hook detection is enabled, taking the microphone off-hook monitors the receive
frequency similar to step 2. However, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected
(see Section 4.8). Pressing the SEL SQ option switch disables Call Guard squelch/P25
group ID detect but not scanning and P25 NAC detect (see Section 5.4).

5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
5.3
Busy Channel Lockout
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 Busy Channel Lockout feature can be programmed to operate as follows. Each
conventional channel can be programmed differently.
“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.
“Tone (NAC)” - If an incorrect Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) or P25 NAC code (see
Section 5.15.3) is detected, the transmitter is disabled when the PTT switch is pressed.
An incorrect code is any code other than the one programmed for the current channel.
If Busy Channel Override is permitted by programming, it is possible to transmit even
when the transmitter is disabled by this feature. Release the PTT switch and then quickly
press it again.
5.4
Call Guard Squelch
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.
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 radio to be functional.
5.4.1
Call Guard Squelch Enable/Disable
The SEL SQ option switch (if programmed) can be used to disable receive Call Guard
squelch on analog channels or group ID code detection on P25 channels. When selective
squelch is disabled, “SQ Normal” is flashed in the display, and when it is enabled, “SQ
Select” is flashed.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-3
When “SQ Normal” is selected, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected.
Scanning and P25 NAC detection are not disabled with this mode selected. The selected
mode remains in effect until it is manually changed. Selecting another channel or cycling
power does not reselect a default condition. There is a programmable option to display
“MON” when the “SQ Normal” mode is selected.
5.4.2
Tone Call Guard Squelch
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.
A reverse burst is transmitted when the push-to-talk 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 radio.
Both the transmitting and receiving radio must be equipped with this feature for it to be
utilized.
5.4.3
Digital Call Guard Squelch
Digital Call Guard squelch (DCS) 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 turn-off
code is transmitted which eliminates the squelch tail similar to the reverse burst.
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.
5.4.4
Note
Selective Squelch Code Select (CTCSS/DSC/NAC)
Call Guard codes may be permanently reprogrammed by keypad programming (see
Section 5.16).
This feature allows the normal transmit and receive Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS/NAC)
programming to be temporarily overridden with a code selected from a preprogrammed
list. It is available if the SQ LIST option switch and a CTCSS/NAC code list have been
programmed.
-4
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
In addition, with the Handheld Control Unit (HHC) only, conventional systems can be
programmed for the Keypad CTCSS/DSC feature. Codes can then be selected directly
from the table by pressing the key for the code. For example, to select code 3 from the
table, simply press the “3” key. No other conventional mode functions can then be
assigned to these keys.
The CTCSS/DCS/NAC list is programmed with up to 64 tone (CTCSS) or digital (DCS)
Call Guard codes. Different codes can be programmed for the transmit and receive modes,
and carrier squelch (selective squelch disabled) can be programmed if desired. In addition,
each position can be programmed with an NAC code for use with P25 operation.
When the Call Guard code is changed using this feature, it remains selected even if other
channels are selected. However, if radio power is cycled or a talk-around channel is
selected, the normal codes are reselected. When scanning, the selected code also applies to
all scanned channels. Each channel can also be programmed to always ignore the code
selected from this list and use the default code instead.
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.
Proceed as follows to select a code using the SQ LIST option switch:
1 Press the SQ LIST 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 164. The code number and actual code are alternately displayed (NACs are displayed in
hexadecimal).
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 SQ LIST option 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. As
previously described, the normal codes are also automatically reselected whenever
radio power is cycled or a talk-around channel is selected.
5.5
Penalty Timer
A penalty timer may be programmed on conventional systems to prevent transmissions for
the programmed time after the time-out timer disables the transmitter (see Section 4.2).
The penalty timer can be programmed for the same times as the time-out timer, and timing
starts when the PTT switch is released. If the PTT switch is pressed during the penalty
time, the time-out indication occurs again and the transmitter remains disabled. When the
penalty timer expires, a beep sounds and the transmitter can then be keyed.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual

5.6
Conversation Timer
A conversation timer can be programmed on conventional systems in addition to the timeout timer (see Section 4.2). 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.
• 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 five 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).
5.7
Repeater Talk-Around
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 talk-around can be selected.
Transmissions then occur on the receive frequency which permits direct mobile-to-mobile
communication.
Repeater talk-around can be selected if the RTA option switch is programmed. When talkaround 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. Talkaround is available on conventional channels only.
5.8
Displaying Transmit/Receive Frequency
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.

Emergency Alarm and Call
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be individually enabled or
disabled on each analog and P25 conventional system. The Emergency option switch is
required for these functions. Emergency Alarms and Calls are transmitted on the global
(radio wide) emergency zone/channel if one is programmed. If it is not programmed, the
emergency is transmitted on the selected channel. The emergency programming of the
system to which that channel is linked controls the emergency operation.
5.9.1
Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special transmission that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency
situation. It is sent automatically by simply pressing Emergency option switch. The
system to which the emergency channel is linked must have Emergency Alarms enabled.
If it does not, Emergency Alarms are disabled.
In the P25 conventional mode, a special P25 emergency data transmission is sent, and in
the conventional analog mode, an DTMF emergency ID is sent. This ID is programmed on
the Conventional Radio Wide screen. Refer to Section 5.14 for information on the
MDC1200 Emergency Alert.
Proceed as follows to send an emergency alarm:
1 If required, select a channel of a system on which Emergency Alarms are enabled and
then press the EMER option switch. The radio then automatically transmits the
emergency alarm.
2 Either Normal or Silent operation can be programmed. With the Normal mode, the red
LED lights, the emergency tone sounds, and “EMERGNCY” flashes in the display.
This indication continues to flash until the alarm mode is ended (see step 4).
If silent programmed or the Surveillance mode is selected (see Section 4.9), none of
these indications occur. If “No Receive Activity During Emergency” is programmed,
receive audio, the front panel LED, and receive icons are disabled in the receive mode.
3 When the emergency alarm is acknowledged by the dispatcher, “ACK RCVD” is
briefly displayed and the emergency acknowledge tone (two beeps) sounds. This alert
tone can be disabled if desired, and neither occur if Silent operation is programmed.
4 The emergency alarm mode is exited when radio power is cycled or by pressing and
holding the Emergency option switch.

5.9.2
Emergency Calls
The Emergency Call feature allows a user to place an emergency voice call by pressing the
PTT switch after pressing the Emergency option button. If the Emergency Hot Mic feature
is enabled, the emergency call is automatically transmitted without having to press the
PTT switch (see following description). The system to which the emergency channel is
linked must have Emergency Calls enabled. Analog and Digital (P25) calls can be
individually enabled.
If the emergency call is sent on a P25 channel, an emergency indication is sent according
to the P25 standard (the emergency bit is set in the Common Air Interface). If it is sent on
an analog channel, the DTMF Emergency ID is sent in place of the ANI DTMF PTT ID if
applicable.
Note
The DTMF Emergency ID is sent only if pre- or post- DTMF ANI is enabled on the
channel by programming.
5.9.2.1
Emergency Hot Mic
If Emergency Hot Mic has been enabled for emergency calls, automatic transmitting
occurs with microphone audio unmuted without having to manually press the PTT switch.
The automatic transmit period is programmed for 10-120 seconds in 10-second intervals.
If this feature or emergency calls are not enabled by programming, automatic transmitting
does not occur. This feature is initiated only on the first press of the Emergency switch.
Subsequent presses do not trigger automatic transmissions. To reset this function, the
channel must be changed or power cycled.
5.9.2.2
Placing an Emergency Call
1 If required, select a channel of a system on which Emergency Calls are enabled and
press the EMER option switch. The Emergency Alarm is then sent as described in
Section 5.9.1 if applicable.
2 If the preceding Emergency Hot Mic feature is enabled, the call is automatically
transmitted without pressing the PTT switch. If it is disabled, press the PTT switch and
begin speaking as with a standard call. If the channel is changed, operation continues on
the new channel in the emergency mode.
3 With analog calls, subsequent presses of the PTT switch cause the DTMF emergency
ID to be sent according to the ANI programming (if DTMF ANI is enabled on the
channel). With digital calls, the calls continue to have the emergency bit set.
4 If the Surveillance Mode is enabled (see Section 4.9), all indicators, lights, and tones
are disabled. If “No Receive Activity During Emergency” is programmed, receive
audio, the front panel LED, and receive icons are disabled in the receive mode.

5 To exit this mode, cycle radio power or press and hold the Emergency switch.
5.10 Conventional Mode Scanning
Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 4.11
and 4.12. The following information describes features unique to conventional operation.
5.10.1 Selecting a Scan List
Conventional systems are programmed with a default scan list that is normally selected by
all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable option to slave a particular
conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default list for all conventional
channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming). This slave feature is
programmed on the Edit Zone screen.
If the SCAN option switch is programmed, the default list selected by all conventional
channels (even those belonging to slaved zones) is temporarily changed. The preceding
default scan lists are automatically reselected whenever radio power is cycled.
5.10.1.1
Conventional Scan List Select Procedure
The scan list select procedure is as follows:
1 With scanning off, press and hold the SCAN option switch until a tone sounds
(scanning is off when the rotating is not indicated in the right status display). If
required, turn scanning off by briefly pressing this switch. If the SCAN option switch is
pressed while scanning, Nuisance Channel Delete described in Section 4.11.5 is
performed.
2 The currently selected list is then indicated in the display as “SCAN LIST x”, where
“x” is the scan list number. Rotate the Select switch to select the desired list and then
exit this mode by pressing the Select or SCAN option switch.
5.10.2 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 on priority sampling.
No Priority - No priority channel sampling occurs when the list is selected. The radio
transmits on the selected channel.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-9
Priority/Tx Selected - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel or channels
are those programmed in the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the selected
channel.
Priority/Tx Priority (1) - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel or channels
are those programmed in the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the priority (1)
channel.
Priority (1) on Selected - The priority (1) channel is always the selected channel. The
radio transmits on the selected channel.
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.
5.10.3 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 6.11.1.
The priority channel sampling feature ensures that when priority scanning, messages on
the priority channel are not missed while listening to a message on some other channel.
The radio can be programmed as just described so that the priority channel is a fixed
channel programmed in the current scan list, the currently selected channel, or not used.
Note
Priority channel sampling is not available when receiving analog encrypted (DES) calls,
and also when receiving P25 calls. In addition, the priority channel is not scanned if the
active channel is an analog channel on the same frequency as the priority channel and is
programmed with CTCSS/DCS squelch control.
Either a single or dual priority channels can be programmed if desired. With dual priority,
a call on the second priority channel is interrupted by a call on the first priority channel but
not vice versa. When scanning and the selected channel is a single or first priority channel,
“P” is indicated in the left status display next to the zone number as follows:
Priority Indicator
This indication is displayed regardless of whether the priority channel is fixed or always
the selected channel. When the second priority channel is displayed, “2” is indicated
instead.
-10
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
The priority channel sampling frequency is determined by the programmed Priority
Lookback Time A (see description which follows). For example, if 2.0 seconds is
programmed, the priority channel is sampled every 2.0 seconds when listening to a
message on a non-priority channel. When not listening to a message, the priority channels
are scanned in the normal scan sequence. With dual priority, the first and second priority
channels are alternately sampled at the Loopback Time.
Priority channel sampling occurs only with standard conventional scanning. It does not
occur with radio-wide scanning, when listening to any type of SMARTNET/SmartZone/
P25 conventional or trunked call, encrypted 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.
The priority sampling times are programmed by the following parameters:
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.
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.
5.10.3.1
Changing The Priority Channel
If a fixed priority channel is associated with the current scan list, it can be changed to
another channel if the PRI ED option switch is programmed. With dual priority, this
changes only the first priority channel. To change both priority channels, use the Scan List
Edit function described in Section 4.12.1. Proceed as follows to change a priority channel
using the PRI ED option switch:
1 Make sure that both priority and radio wide scanning are off (the rotating
indicated in the right status display).
icon is not
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.
3 Press the PRI ED option switch and “Priority” is briefly displayed to indicate that the
selected channel is now the priority channel. Other indications that may occur are as
follows:
• If “No Priority” is displayed, priority sampling may not be enabled on the scan list.
• If “Sel Chan” is displayed, the priority channel is always the selected channel and
cannot be changed.
• If no indication displayed, the scan list may not be user editable or the channel may
not be in the scan list.

5.11 Standard Conventional Calls
Standard conventional calls can be placed to other mobile units monitoring the selected
channel. The proper coded Call Guard squelch tone or code or P25 NAC may need to be
transmitted by your radio for them to receive your call (see Sections 5.4 and 5.15.3).
5.11.1 Placing a Standard Conventional Call
1 Turn power on and set the volume as described in Section 3.1. Select the channel
programmed for the mobile you want to call (see Section 3.4.2).
2 Monitor the channel automatically or manually as described in Section 5.1.
3 Press the PTT switch and if the Busy Channel Lockout feature is programmed on the
channel, the transmitter is automatically disabled if the channel is busy (see
Section 5.3). 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.
5.11.2 Receiving a Standard Conventional Call
1 Select or scan the channel programmed for the call you want to receive (refer to
Section 5.10 for more scanning information).
2 When the call is received, take the microphone off-hook and press the PTT switch to
talk and release it to listen. If scanning, responses may occur on the priority, selected, or
receive channel as described in Section 5.10.2.
3 When the call is finished, place the microphone back on-hook.
5.12 DTMF/ANI Signaling
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Frequency) tones can be generated for ANI (Automatic Number
Identification) and other purposes on conventional analog channels. One of the following
options may be enabled on each channel:
Pre-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is automatically sent each time the PTT
switch is pressed.
Post-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is automatically sent each time the
PTT switch is released.
-12
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
When an emergency alarm or call is placed, this ANI signaling is replaced by the
Emergency DTMF ID (see Section 5.9). Refer to Section 5.14 for information on
MDC1200 ANI.
5.13 Single Tone Encoder
This feature is not available with the 5300 ES mobile. It is available with the 5100
portable only.
5.14 MDC1200 Compatibility
MDC1200 is a signaling protocol designed and implemented by Motorola for analog
channels only. The following features of this protocol are supported. Either MDC1200 or
standard DTMF ANI/Emergency signaling can be programmed on each conventional
system.
Note
This feature is hardware dependent and therefore cannot be added to others by upgrading
firmware).
MDC1200 ANI - Both pre and post ANI are supported.
MDC1200 Emergency Alert - A retry counter is implemented. Currently, ACKs are
not decoded so the radio retrys the programmed number of times with each emergency.
5.15 Project 25 Mode Features
The following features are unique to conventional P25 channels.
5.15.1 Unit ID Code
Each radio that operates on Project 25 (digital) channels is programmed with an eight-digit
unit ID. This ID is unique for each radio 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.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-13
5.15.2 Group ID Code
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 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 5.4 and the Monitor Mode
described in Section 5.2.
5.15.3 Network Access Code (NAC)
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 analog channels. NAC (and group ID) detect can
be disabled by the monitor mode described in Section 5.2.
5.15.4 P25 Group Calls
P25 Group calls are placed by simply selecting the channel programmed for the desired
group, monitoring the channel if required, and transmitting. When a P25 group call is
received, the alias (or frequency) of the selected channel is displayed. The radio can be
programmed so that the following are also displayed for 0.5-7.0 seconds or continuously
during the call.
P25 PTT ID - The unit ID of the mobile placing the call is displayed.
P25 Talk Group - The alias of the talk group on which the call is being received is
displayed.
User Group ID - If the group ID of the call being received is included in a
preprogrammed User Group ID list, the alias programmed in that list for that group is
displayed.
5.15.4.1
Changing Talk Group Assigned To a Channel
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 until it is
manually changed again (cycling power or selecting another channel does not reselect a
default talk group). Change the talk group assigned to a channel as follows:
1 Select the channel to be changed and then press the TG SEL option switch.
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.
-14
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
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.
5.15.5 P25 Unit 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.
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 radio must be programmed with the CALL option switch,
and have a Unit Call programmed with the ID of the calling mobile.
Place and receive a Unit Call as follows:
1 To transmit a unit call, press the CALL option switch. The alias (tag) of the last Unit
Call is displayed.
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.
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 of the Unit ID are alternately flashed.
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
cannot be made in this mode.
• 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.

5.15.6 P25 Conventional Telephone Calls
Telephone calls can be placed and received on P25 conventional channels. This feature
allows telephone calls to be placed and received over the public telephone system using
your radio. Telephone calls are programmed to operate in one of the following modes:
• Disabled
• Answer-only capability
• List only - Telephone numbers can be selected from a preprogrammed list only (direct
entry as follows is not allowed)
• Unlimited - Telephone numbers can be selected from a list and also dialed directly
entered using the front panel controls or the keypad on the HHC.
All models have the capability to place telephone calls by recalling the number from a list
or dialing it using the front panel controls or using the Handheld Control Unit (HHC)
telephone keypad. More information on how to do this follows.
5.15.6.1
Access/De-Access Codes
P25 conventional telephone calls utilize an access to access the system when placing a
telephone call, and a de-access code to terminate the call when it is finished. These codes
are preprogrammed in pairs by the Access/De-Access Code list selected on the
conventional Per System screen, and up to 16 pair can be programmed. Each conventional
P25 channel can be programmed to automatically select one of these code pairs. They
must match the system codes, and the default code is *1P# (the P represents a pause).
5.15.6.2
Placing a Telephone Call
To recall from list:
1 Select the conventional channel that is programmed to select the desired access and deaccess codes.
2 Momentarily press the PHONE option switch and the display indicates the last number
dialed by alternately displaying “Last Num” and the telephone number. In addition, the
phone mode is indicated by the
icon.
3 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired number. The alias and
telephone number are alternately displayed.
4 Briefly press the PTT switch to send the access code. A dial tone sound should then be
heard. Briefly press the PTT switch again to send the digits. Proceed to step 5 which

by “P” is entered by * #).
4 Briefly press the PTT switch to send the access code. A dial tone sound then be heard.
Briefly press the PTT switch again to send the digits.
5 Press the PTT switch to talk and release it to listen. Since the radio operates half
duplex, it is not possible to talk and listen at the same time.
6 When the telephone call is finished or if it could not be completed for some reason, end
it by pressing the PHONE option switch again and placing the microphone back onhook. This sends the de-access code which tells the system that the call is finished and
that the repeater can be released.
5.15.6.3
Answering a Telephone Call
1 When a telephone call is received, “ringing” similar to a standard telephone is heard
and “PHONE” is displayed.
2 To answer the call, press the Phone option switch and press the PTT switch to talk and
release it to listen.
3 When the call is finished, end it as in the preceding step 6.
5.15.7 Call Alert

2 To clear or ignore the page, press any option switch. If the PTT switch is pressed, a
group call is placed on the selected channel.
3 To answer the page as a unit call (see Section 5.15.5), press the CALL (Private/Unit)
option switch and the alias of the mobile paging you is displayed. Press the PTT switch
and respond. One of the following conditions then occur:
• If the mobile being called is on the air, ringing is heard until the called party answers
or for 20 seconds, whichever occurs first. If no answer occurs within 20 seconds, a
continuous tone sounds and “NO ANS” is displayed.
• If the mobile being called is not on the air, a continuous tone is heard instead of
ringing and “NO ACK” is displayed.
4 When the call is finished or if it could not be completed for some reason, end it by
pressing the Unit Call option switch or the F1 (Exit) key.
To Initiate a Page:
1 With a P25 conventional channel selected, momentarily press the ALERT (Call Alert)
option switch. The alias of the last ID called is displayed.
2 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired mobile. The alias of each
number is displayed.
3 Press the PTT switch and one of the following occur:
• If five beeps sound, the system received the page and the paged mobile is on the air
and received it. The page mode is automatically exited.
• If the system received the page but the called mobile is not on the air, a single beep
sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed six seconds after the PTT switch is pressed. Auto
exit then occurs.
5.15.8 Messaging
The messaging feature allows preprogrammed messages to be sent to a dispatcher on P25
channels. Up to 16 messages can be preprogrammed, and they are identified by an alias. If
a MSG (Message) option switch is programmed, messages are sent as follows:
1 Momentarily press the MSG option switch. The alias of the last message sent is
displayed.
2 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired message. Then send the
message by momentarily pressing the PTT or Select switch. One of the following
events then occurs:
• If five beeps sound and “ACK RECVD” is displayed, the message was received and
automatically acknowledged by the system.

• If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is
displayed.
5.15.9 Status Messaging
The status messaging feature allows you to manually or automatically send your current
status to your dispatcher on P25 channels. Up to eight status conditions can be
preprogrammed, and they are identified by an alias. If the STATUS option switch is
programmed, status conditions are sent as follows:
1 Momentarily press the STATUS option switch. The alias of the current status condition
is displayed.
2 To change the current status, rotate the Select switch until the desired status is

following events then occurs:
• If five beeps sound and “ACK RCVD” is displayed, the status was received and
acknowledged by the system.
• If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is
displayed.
5.15.10 P25 Packet Data
P25 packet data transmission capability is available with 5300 ES mobiles. A DATA
option switch must be programmed to toggle the data mode on and off.
The P25 Packet Data mode allows a subscriber unit to act as a packet data modem for a
remote application connected to the subscriber unit via an RS-232 or SLIP (Serial Line
Internet Protocol) connection. The SLIP connection requires an Ethernet port which is
currently not available.
A special Data Pigtail Cable, Part No. 597-2002-282, is installed in the radio to provide
the RS-232 port (female DB9 connector) for connecting the external data equipment to the
5300 ES mobile.
5.16 Keypad Programming
Note
December 2006
The Keypad programming feature is available to Federal Government users only. Users
regulated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) are not allowed to have
this feature. This feature must be factory enabled to be selected.
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-19
Since keypad programming is permitted by Federal Government users only, only Federal
models of this transceiver can be programmed with this feature. It is then available only if
it has been enabled by factory programming and a conventional mode option switch is
programmed for the “Keypad Programming” function.
Keypad programming is selected by pressing the PROG option switch (password entry is
not required). The keypad programming mode is indicated by “CHNG ZONE” and a
triangle in the display as follows:
Keypad programming allows conventional channel parameters such as the transmit and

5.16.2 Zone Password
Note
Make sure that the zone password(s) are not lost because they cannot be overridden in the
field. The PC Configure software must be used to add a new password.
Each zone can be programmed with a password by the PC Configure software to prevent
unauthorized reprogramming of zone by keypad programming. When this password is
programmed, it must be entered before system or channel parameters in that zone can be
changed by keypad programming. The zone password is programmed in the Zones > Edit
Zone screen of the PC Configure programmer. This screen is displayed by clicking the
Edit Zone button. A different password can be programmed for each zone.
When an attempt is made to select a system or channel parameter in a password protected
zone, “PASSWORD” is flashed. The password is always eight digits long and is entered

indicate when talking can begin. Other indications that may occur are as follows:
• If in the secure mode and your radio is not programmed with the proper encryption
key, “KEYFAIL” is displayed and the call must be made in the clear mode or the
proper key must be programmed.
• If the busy tone sounds and “BUSY” is displayed, the system is busy. Release the
PTT switch and wait for the call back tone to sound. Then press the PTT switch
within 3 seconds.
• If a continuous tone sounds and “NO SYS” is displayed, you may be out-of-range.
Drive closer or away from shielding objects and try again.
• If your unit ID is invalid, the call is being made to an invalid group ID, or group calls
are not enabled, “DISABLED ID” is displayed and an alert tone sounds.
• If an attempt is made to change an analog channel from the clear to the secure mode
and there is no available secure channel, “NO SEC” is flashed, an error tone sounds,
and the call is terminated.
• If an attempt is made to change an analog channel from the secure to clear mode,
“SEC ONLY” is displayed, an error tone sounds, and the call is terminated. (Calls on
digital channels can be changed if they are not strapped to clear or secure).
• If the Secure mode is selected by the C/S (Clear/Secure) option switch and an
attempt is made to transmit on a channel strapped as Clear, “Clear Only” is displayed
and the transmitter is disabled. Likewise, if the Clear mode is selected and the
channel is strapped as secure, “Secure Only” is displayed and the transmitter is
disabled.
To receive a standard group call:
Calls are received on only the talk group and/or announcement group programmed for
the selected channel (with scanning disabled). When the selected channel is
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.
When a group call is received, the alias of the selected channel is displayed. The radio
can be programmed so that the following are also displayed for 0.5-7.0 seconds or
continuously during the call.

Private (Unit-To-Unit) Calls
Note
With P25 Trunked operation, these calls are called Unit Calls, and they function the same
as the Enhanced Private Conversation mode described in the following information.
Private calls allow calls to be placed to a specific mobile unit. Either the Enhanced Private
Conversation™ or standard Private Conversation modes may be programmed depending
on the capabilities of the radio system. One difference between these call types is that the
Enhanced type provides an indication that the called mobile is not on the air and the
standard version does not. Operation in each of these modes is described in the following
information.
The CALL option switch is required to place these calls, and either that switch or the
RESP (Response) switch is required to receive them. Private calls are programmed to
operate in one of the following modes:
• Disabled
• Answer-only capability
• List only - Unit IDs can be selected from a preprogrammed list only (direct entry as

Emergency Alarm and Call
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be individually enabled or
disabled on each SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked system. The Emergency
option switch is required for these functions. Other emergency features are as follows:
• Emergency Alarms are transmitted on the selected talk group if emergency calls are
disabled, and on the emergency talk group if emergency calls are enabled.
• Emergency Call talk group selection priority is as follows. For example, if a global
emergency channel is not programmed, the emergency talk group of the selected
channel is used and so on.
a Global (radio wide) emergency channel
b Emergency group of the selected channel
c Talk group of the selected channel
d Announcement group of the selected channel
• The emergency programming of the system to which that emergency talk group is
linked controls the emergency operation.
6.9.1
Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special transmission that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency
situation. It is sent automatically by simply pressing Emergency option switch. The system
to which the emergency channel is linked must have Emergency Alarms enabled. If not,
Emergency Alarms are disabled. The alarm is sent on the control channel using Motorola
proprietary signaling.
Proceed as follows to send an emergency alarm:

then press the EMER option switch. The radio then automatically transmits the
emergency alarm.
2 Either Normal or Silent operation can be programmed. With the Normal mode, the red
LED lights, the emergency tone sounds, and “EMERGNCY” flashes in the display.
This indication continues to flash until the alarm mode is ended (see step 4). If silent
programmed or the Surveillance mode is selected (see Section 4.9), none of these
indications occur. If “No Receive Activity During Emergency” is programmed, receive
audio, the front panel LED, and receive icons are disabled in the receive mode.
3 When the emergency alarm is acknowledged, “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.

channel must be changed or power cycled.
6.9.2.2
Placing an Emergency Call
1 If required, select a channel of a system on which Emergency Calls are enabled and
press the Emergency option switch. The Emergency Alarm is then sent as described in
Section 5.9.1 if applicable.
2 The emergency mode is indicated when “ACK RCVD” is briefly displayed and then
“EMERGNCY” and the emergency talk group are alternately displayed.
3 If the preceding Emergency Hot Mic feature is enabled, the call is automatically
transmitted without pressing the PTT switch. If it is disabled, press the PTT switch and
begin speaking as with a standard call.
4 All group calls which follow are then emergency calls (private, telephone, 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. If the Surveillance Mode is enabled (see
Section 4.9), all indicators, lights, and tones are disabled. If “No Receive Activity
During Emergency” is programmed, receive audio, the front panel LED, and receive
icons are disabled in the receive mode.
5 To exit this mode, cycle radio power or press and hold the Emergency switch.

mode, “FAILSOFT” and the alias of the selected channel are alternately displayed. A
failsoft tone may also be heard, depending on how the repeater is programmed.
When in the failsoft mode, operation is in the conventional mode on the preprogrammed
failsoft channel (a different failsoft channel can be programmed on each talk group). If a
transmission is attempted before a failsoft channel is located, a continuous tones sounds
until the PTT switch is released. When the radio system returns to normal operation, this is
automatically detected and normal operation resumes.
6.11 SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Scanning Features
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 4.11 and 4.12.
• 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.
• If the SCN ED option key is programmed, scan lists are user programmable (see
Section 6.11.2). In addition, nuisance channels can be temporarily deleted as described
in Section 4.11.5.
• 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.
• The selected scan list can be temporarily changed if the Scan (List) Select option switch
is programmed. The procedure is described in Section 6.11.2.
• 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.

6.11.1 Priority Talk Group Sampling
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. Priority scanning must also be
supported at the system level for it to occur as programmed in the radio.
6.11.2 Scan List Editing and Selection
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked scan lists are user programmable if the SCN
ED option switch is programmed. The procedure is described in Section 4.12.1.
With SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operation, each channel (talk group) can
be programmed to select one of the programmed scan lists or so scanning is disabled (No
List). In addition, each channel can be programmed so that scanning is automatically
enabled (Auto Scan) when it is selected.
If the SN LIST option switch is programmed, the list that is selected by all talk and
announcement groups in the current system can be temporarily changed by the user as
follows. Also selectable if desired is “No List” (scanning disabled) or “Programmed”
(default list). The programmed default list is automatically reselected at power up.
Proceed as follows to temporarily change the currently selected scan list:
1 With scanning disabled (the rotating
press the SN LIST option switch.
icon is not indicated in the right status display),
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 SN LIST option switch
again.
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.
6.12 Dynamic Regrouping
The dynamic regrouping feature allows a dispatcher to change the current talk group or
switch mobiles to a predefined regrouping channel to receive an important message. When
the console issues a regroup order, the radio switches to the preprogrammed regroup talk
group.
If the Cancel Dynamic Regrouping option switch is programmed, it can be pressed to exit
the dynamic regrouping mode.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-13
Otherwise, if the lock mode was not specified, the selected talk group can be manually
changed and the previous talk group is reselected if power is cycled. If a locked regroup
command is received, the displayed talk group cannot be changed manually or by cycling
power. It can be changed only after a clear order is received from the console.
Dynamic regrouping operates as follows:
1 When this command is received, alternating tones sound and the radio automatically
changes to the regrouping channel and “DYN REGRP” is displayed.
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.
3 Talk and listen as usual. When dynamic regrouping is canceled by the dispatcher, a
short tone sounds. If a standard channel is not selected after this occurs, transmission is
not allowed if the talk group is assigned as a dynamic regrouping talk group only. If it is
assigned as a normal talk group, normal transmissions are allowed.
6.13 SmartZone and P25 Trunking Unique Features
As described in Section 3.7.2, the SmartZone® mode provides wide area coverage by
allowing roaming between SMARTNET and conventional sites. The P25 Trunked mode
can provide access to a single trunked site or roaming between several trunked sites.
Operation in these modes is the same as just described in the preceding sections (6.1-6.12)
with the following additional features:
6.13.1 Busy Override
The busy override feature is enabled at the system level by the system manager and is not
a programmable radio feature. It allows a call to be placed even if not all of the sites you
are calling have a free traffic channel. The only sites guaranteed to be included are the
Critical Sites and the sites where a Critical User is located. This feature operates as
follows:
1 Assume that you have attempted to place a call and the system was busy (“BUSY”
displayed and busy tone sounded).
2 Release the PTT switch and then press it for 5 seconds or more. If a chirp-like tone
sounds with the PTT switch pressed, busy override is occurring.
Note
-14
Remember that not all members of the talk group are receiving your message. Missing
members will start receiving your message as channels become available.

6.13.2 Site Trunking
Site trunking occurs when a site can no longer participate in wide area trunking. It is
disconnected from other sides and only supports calls with other radios on that site and
cannot route audio to other sites. When site trunking is occurring, the radio searches for
other sites that may provide wide area coverage.
Site trunking ends when a wide area coverage site is located, the current site is operating
again as a wide area coverage site, an out-of-range condition occurs, or the failsoft mode is
entered. The radio can be programmed so that “Site Trunking” is displayed and/or an alert
tone sounds when site trunking occurs.
SmartZone and P25 trunked systems can be programmed for “Disable Site Trunking
Operation”. The radio is then not allowed to start or operate on a site trunking site. If a site
goes into site trunking, the radio leaves that site’s control channel and attempts to find
another valid wide area site. If no wide area site is available, the radio displays “Out-ofRange”. If a site adjacent to the current Home Site was in site trunking but then enters
wide area trunking, it is evaluated to determine if it should move to that site as a better
site.
6.13.3 Determining Current Site and Searching For a New Site
To display the RSSI level of the current site, press the SEARCH option switch. The
display then indicates the current site number as “SITE xx” and the RSSI (Receive Signal
Strength Indicator) signal level as “RSSI xx”. This mode is then automatically exited.
To scroll through the other programmed sites, press and hold the SEARCH option switch
while “Site xx” or “RSSI xx” is displayed. If site lock is on when site search is entered
(see following), the radio will be locked on the new site when this function is exited.
6.13.4 Locking/Unlocking a Site
It is sometimes desirable to stay on a site. To prevent the radio from searching for a new
site, lock it on the current site by pressing the LOCK option switch. The display then
momentarily indicates the site alias to indicate that the current site is locked (“x” is the
current site number). To unlock the site, press the LOCK option switch again and
“UNLOCK” is momentarily displayed.
6.13.5 ZoneFail Site Lock
This is an optional feature that can be enabled only by factory programmed. It is not
programmed by the PC Configure software, and does not require any special inputs from
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual

the infrastructure to operate. This feature is intended to prevent some of the confusion
resulting from a site controller failure. When this occurs, all sites go into the Site Trunking
mode and radios continue to roam normally according to RSSI level. The result is that the
various radios selected by a particular talk group may be operating on different sites and
are unable to talk to each other (see Section 6.13.2 for more Site Trunking information).
With the Zone Fail Site Lock feature enabled, the radio continues to roam normally when
the system zone controller is active. However, if the zone controller fails, this is detected
and the Zone Fail Site Lock mode is entered. The only site the radio is then allowed to
operate on is its home site. If its home site is not available, “Out-of-Range” is displayed. A
zone controller failure is detected by determining that every site in the dynamic site list is
in Site Trunking. Currently, this condition must be detected for at least 1 minute for the
Zone Fail Site Lock mode to be selected.
The result of this operation is that all radios with the same programmed home site are
forced to the home site to communicate which ensures that they can continue to
communicate. If the home site is not available, the Out-of-Range condition tells the user to
attempt communication on another system or by some other means.
6.13.6 P25 Wide Area Scan
This feature is intended to enhance roaming performance, especially when system level
steering via radio or talk group permissions is used.
6.13.7 Normal P25 and SmartZone Control Channel Hunt
The following control channel search methods are normally used to find a control channel:
Short Hunt - The dynamic array of 7 (or 15) adjacent sites is searched. This list is
saved on power down and loaded again at power up. It is erased whenever parameters
are downloaded to the radio by the PC Configure programmer.
Long Hunt - If no valid control channel is located by the preceding short hunt method,
the radio searches the list of control channels programmed into the radio by the PC
Configure programmer.
Full Spectrum CC Scan - If the two preceding methods do not locate a control
channel, every channel available to the radio is searched.
-16
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
6.13.8 Talkgroup Steering Via System Access Permissions
In order to use system channel resources more efficiently, some system operators are
using system access permissions to steer certain talkgroups to particular sites. For
example, a police department may be allowed to use only Site 1, and a public works
department may be allowed to use only Site 2.
The problem with this operation is that every time a different talk group is selected, the
access permission may be different and a different site may need to be accessed. This
could result, in a worst case, in a delay of up to 30 seconds in finding a new site. This
could occur if there are no valid sites for the new talk group in the dynamic site list.
6.13.9 P25 Wide Area Scan
A feature called Wide Area Scan can be programmed to minimize the problem just
outlined. This feature is programmed on the Talk Group list screen selected on the P25
System screen. When Wide Area Scan is selected, talk group site preferences are no
longer available. However, System Site Preference lists can still be used. The Wide Area
Scan feature functions as follows:
1 Assume TG1 is selected. If it is the first time this talk group is selected, normal
searching for a control channel occurs according to the hunt methods
previously described.
2 When another talk group is selected, the active valid site for TG1 is stored in EEPROM
memory.
3 The next time TG1 is selected, the following procedure is performed before performing
the normal hunt methods previously described.
a The last valid site ID and its receive and transmit channel numbers are loaded from
EEPROM memory.
b The dynamic site list is checked to see if any newer receive/transmit channel
information is available for the last site ID.
c The best receive/transmit information is used and the radio checks to see if this
control channel is available.
The result of the preceding operation is that the radio has a reasonable chance of finding a
valid site, usually on the first try. This greatly reduces access time, even on systems which
have highly restricted talk group based access.

7.3
System Operator Programming
As noted several times in this manual, programming determines the availability and
specific operation 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.
An exception is Keypad Programming which can allow the user to reprogram several
conventional channel parameters. Refer to Section 5.16 for more information.
7.4
Speaking Into Microphone
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.
7.5
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 radio. Communication may be improved by moving to
higher ground or away from shielding objects such as tall buildings or hills.
7.6
Preventing Battery Discharge
In the standby mode (power on, not transmitting), radio power consumption is relatively
low. Therefore, you can probably leave the radio 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 radio
should be turned off when not in use.
-6
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
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 radio and that the battery does not become discharged.
7.7
Licensing
A government license is usually required to operate this radio on the air.
7.8
Radio 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.
If no characters or all characters appear in the display, the viewing angle may be
improperly adjusted. Refer to Section 3.3 for more information.
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
radio.
If the radio 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 radio still does not operate properly, return it to your system
operator for service.
Note
December 2006
There are no user-serviceable components in the radio. Altering internal adjustments can
cause illegal emissions, void the warranty, and result in improper operation that can
seriously damage the radio.

Determining Available Options
Section 8
This manual describes the operation of all features that are currently available for the 5300
ES radio. However, many of these features are optional and therefore may not be available
in your radio. For example, Project 25 trunked operation is optional and may not be
available.
Availability of optional features is controlled by factory programming of the control logic.
Only those features that are specifically ordered and enabled in a particular radio are
available for use and can be programmed. The features controlled by factory programming
are as follows:
P25 Options
• P25 conventional mobile data
• P25 trunked mobile data
• P25 conventional operation
• P25 trunked operation
Encryption Options
• DES
• DES-OFB
• AES
OTAR Options
• OTAR P25 conventional
• OTAR P25 trunked

Trunking Options
• STAR roaming with P25 trunked operation
• SMARTNET analog operation
• SmartZone analog operation
• Digital SMARTNET/SmartZone
• Multi-Net operation
Feature Options
• Keypad programming (Federal Gov’t users only)
• Zonefail site lock
Currently, the only operating mode that is standard with all models is the conventional
analog mode. Other variables such as frequency range are hardware dependent instead of
software dependent.
8.1
Upgrading A Radio With New Options
The capability exists to upgrade radios in the field with new features. A new feature can be
purchased and a special encrypted code string keyed to the ESN (Electronic Serial
Number) of the radio is then provided by the EFJohnson Company. This string is in the
form of a computer file, and is downloaded to the radio using the PC Configure
programming software. This is initiated by clicking the “Update Options” button on the
Radio Options screen shown in Figure 8.1.
8.2
Using PC Configure To Determine Options
To determine what software options have been enabled in a particular radio, use the PC
Configure™ programming software to read and display what options are installed.
Proceed as follows:
1 Connect the computer to the radio and start the program as described in the
documentation included with the PC Configure software.
2 Select the 5300 ES radio type by selecting menu parameter Radio > Series > 5300

5300 ES Mobile Firmware Versions
Section 9
There currently are four different firmware versions in use in 53xx radios (Does the four
respond to Version 1.x/2.x/3.x/4.x or should we say one firmware version 4.6.x and
above?. Firmware is the Application code which controls the operation of the radio. It is
not the standard personality information programmed by the PC Configure programming
software.
Later firmware versions may provide some operating features that are not available in
earlier versions.
9.1
53xx Radio Firmware Versions
Version 4.x radios use the SEM logic board that interfaces with the RF board used in these
radios. The part number of this logic board is 023-5500-6xx. A UCM version of this board
is not currently planned.
SEM Version - This version has the EFJohnson SEM (Security Encryption Module)
soldered to the board. It is used whenever DES, DES-OFB, or AES encryption is required.
9.2
Determining Radio Version
The radio/logic board version can be determined by noting the second version number that
is briefly displayed when radio power is turned on. The first number indicates the control
unit code version.

characters in any location, even as leading characters. Initially, all passwords are null
(deleted) characters. Therefore, when initially programming a password, no entry is
required in the “Original/Master Password” box.
10.1.1 Lost Passwords
If a password is lost, it can be changed using PC Configure by entering the Master
password (see following). If even the Master password is lost or was not used, all
passwords can be erased using the PC Tune software as follows:
1 With PC Tune 1.1.1.0 or later, select Radio > Reset Passwords. Only password
information is erased.
2 With earlier versions of PC Tune, after starting the PC Tune program, press SHIFT
CTRL E to toggle the following Erase EEPROM function (otherwise it is grayed and
not selectable). Then Select Radio > Erase EEPROM > Params Only. All password
and personality information is erased, so the radio must be reprogrammed.
Note
DO NOT SELECT “COMPLETE” because that erases all information and the radio
must then be sent back to the factory to make it usable again.
10.1.2 Changing Passwords
An assigned password can be changed by the user if the PW CHG option switch is
programmed. Selecting this function displays prompts for entering and confirming a new
password.
Note
With the 5300 ES Handheld Control Unit, it is recommended that a number key not be
used for this function because the password mode is exited if that key is pressed to enter a
number.
10.1.3 Password Entry Procedure
When a password is requested, it is entered as follows:
5300 ES Mobile - Rotate and press the Select switch.

10.2 Password Description
10.2.1 User (Power-On) Passwords
When a User Password is enabled, it must be entered each time radio power is turned on.
Up to four different User Passwords (User 1/User 2/User 3/User 4) can be programmed.
Currently, the same radio features are enabled for each. Entering any User Password at
power up enables normal radio operation.
10.2.2 Download/Upload Passwords
Separate Download (write) and Upload (read) passwords can be programmed to prevent
unauthorized downloading or uploading of radio programming parameters. When one or
both of these passwords are used, the proper password must be entered to perform the
operation. A “User” password is not required to upload or download parameters.
10.2.3 Master Password
The Master Password overrides all the preceding passwords. It can be used by a system
administrator as a “pass key” to a password controlled function or to change a lost or
inadvertently changed password. Master passwords are set up and changed the same as the
other passwords. It does not override the following Zone Password.
10.3 Zone Password
Note
The programming and usage of this password has not changed. It is independent from the
preceding passwords, and programmed in the Zone > Edit Zones and Channels screen.
A zone password can be programmed with the 5300 ES mobile. It prevents unauthorized
reprogramming of zones by keypad programming. When this password is used, it must be
entered before system or channel parameters in that zone can be changed. The zone
password is programmed in the Edit Zones and Channels screen. This screen is displayed
by clicking the Edit Zone button on the Zone screen.
A different password can be programmed for each zone. When a password protected zone
is selected, “PASSWORD” is flashed the first time an attempt is made to select a system
or channel parameter in that zone. Each digit of the password is then entered as previously
described. The password is always eight digits long, and after the eighth digit is entered,
system and channel parameters for that zone can be reprogrammed normally.

Secure Communication (Encryption)
Section 11
This radio 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 radio
equipped with a similar encryption device and encryption codes.
When a secure call is received or transmitted,
is indicated in the display (see
Section 11.2.6). 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
(see Section 11.3). Secure communication can be programmed on a per channel or per talk
group basis to operate in various ways. More information follows.
11.1 Encryption Algorithms
11.1.1 SecureNet™
SecureNet encryption digitizes the voice and then encrypts it using the DES or DVP
algorithm. It uses a 64-bit encryption key. The SecureNet protocols include the following
algorithms:
• 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 a higher level of security, and also uses
cipher feedback. It was originally designed to be used only by the Federal government.
• DVP-XL - A disadvantage of the DVP and DES encryption types is reduced
communication range when compared to clear voice. The DVP-XL methods was
designed to provide better range but at the cost of lower voice quality. They use a
different type of feedback called counter addressing.
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-1
• 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.
11.1.2 AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
An encryption standard called AES is replacing DES-OFB encryption on digital (P25)
channels. It uses a 128-, 192-, or 256-bit encryption key instead of the 64-bit key used with
DES. EFJohnson radios currently support only 256-bit AES keys. The type of encryption
(DES or AES) is determined by the type of encryption key that is loaded (see
Section 11.2), and not by the PC Configure programming software. AES encryption, like
DES encryption, is an optional radio feature that must be purchased and then enabled at
the factory.
11.1.3 Encryption Available With Various Channel Types
Analog Channels - On analog conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone channels, DES
encryption is used to provide secure communication. Refer to the next section for more
information.
Digital Channels - On digital Project 25 and SMARTNET/Smart Zone channels, the
DES-OFB or AES protocol is used (AES is available with ARM code 1.20.0 or later and
all 2.0/3.0). Refer to Section 11.1.4 for more information.
11.1.4 5300 ES Encryption Capabilities
As described in Section Section 9, there are now three different 5300 ES versions which
provide various encryption capabilities.

11.1.5 FIPS and Non-FIPS Modes
FIPS 140-2 is a Federal Information Processing Standard for encrypted radios used by the
Federal Government. This standard specifies Federal security requirements for
cryptographic modules for a wide range of applications and environments. All 5300 ES
models are FIPS certified.
11.2 Encryption Keys
An encryption key is a cryptographic variable that is required by the encryption algorithm
to encrypt and decrypt voice or data. To maintain system security, these keys must be
protected from disclosure and also periodically replaced or updated.
With the AES and DES encryption used by EFJohnson radios (see Section 11.1), the same
encryption key is used by both the encrypting (sending) and decrypting (receiving) radio.
AES encryption keys are generated from a string of 64 hexadecimal characters, and DES
keys are generated from a string of 16 hexadecimal characters. Another four hexadecimal
characters are used to specify the key ID. Multiple keys can be loaded into a radio using
OTAR or manual loading.
When an encrypted message is transmitted, the encryption Algorithm ID (ALID) and key
ID (KID) are usually included in the message. This tells the receiving radio which key and
algorithm must be used to decrypt the message.
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”) or the key must be loaded.

5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual

11.2.1 Key and Algorithm IDs
Each encryption key is programmed with a Key ID (also called Logical ID). This ID plus
the algorithm ID (ALGID) is transmitted in the message. The radio receiving the message
must have a key programmed with the same IDs in order to decrypt it.
11.2.2 PID/SLN Key Management Modes
Note
The term “SLN” from the Project 25 specification is equivalent to “CKR” (Common Key
Reference) also used to define this parameter.
The channels, talk groups, and other calls that use encryption are linked to a specific
Physical ID (PID) when the radio is programmed using the PC Configure programming
software. For example, Zone 1, channel 1 could be programmed to select the key in PID 1
and Zone 1, channel 2 could select the key in PID 3. The PID ranges are 0-15 when the
PID mode is selected, and 1-16 when the SLN mode is selected (see Figure 11.1).
PID or SLN key management modes can be programmed on the Global programming
screen. More information on these modes follows.
PID Mode - The PID mode can be used only when keys are loaded using the Motorola
KVL 3000 keyloader. When this mode is selected, keys are loaded directly into a PID
of 0-15 that corresponds to the PID programmed for each channel (if applicable). A
Keys Table is not programmed with this mode.
SLN Mode - The SLN mode must be selected is either OTAR (Over-The-AirRekeying) or the EFJohnson System Management Assistant (PDA keyloader) is used. It
can also be used if OTAR is not used. With this mode, keys are loaded into a SLN
(Storage Location Number), typically from 0-4095. A Keys Table must then be
programmed to link channel PIDs to a specific SLN.
The use of this type of indirect linking allows keysets and key IDs to be changed via
OTAR while keeping the mapping from the channel or talk group the same. For
example, as shown in Figure 11.1, PID 4 selects SLN 24 which selects key slot 24 in
both keysets. This slot contains Key ID 69 in Keyset 1 and Key ID 91 in Keyset 2. Only
one keyset is active at a time.
11.2.3 Maintaining Keys in Memory
The radio may need to be connected to a constant power source to preserve the encryption
keys in memory. The programming of the Infinite Key Retention parameter determines if
keys are permanently stored in memory or erased soon after power is removed.
When Infinite Key Retention is enabled, keys are stored in memory and are not lost when
power is removed. If it is disabled, they are maintained only until the storage capacitance
discharges.
-4
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
December 2006
With 5300 ES mobile models, the keys are maintained for approximately eight hours with
this feature disabled. However, a tamper switch causes immediate key erasure when the
radio cover over the logic board is removed.
11.2.4 Encryption Key Select
Note
This feature is available on conventional channels only.
When multiple encryption keys are programmed (see preceding information), the KY SEL
option switch can be programmed to allow selection of another key for the current
channel. This feature changes the PID (hardware location) of the key, and the change is
permanent (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:
1 Press the KY SEL option switch and HWKEY x is displayed. The “x” indicates the
current key PID selection.
2 Rotate the Select switch to display the desired key and then press the Select switch to
select it. Press the KY SEL option switch again to return the display to normal
operation.
11.2.5 Encryption Key Erase
A KY CLR option switch can be programmed that allows the user to permanently erase all
stored keys. If OTAR TEK and KEK keys are stored, all keys of both types are erased.
This function can be used to ensure that unauthorized encrypted calls can no longer be
placed or received by a radio.
11.2.6 Encryption Icon Operation
Basically, the encryption icon
is on continuously whenever a secure call is received or
transmitted. Other operation is as follows:
• It flashes when receiving a secure call in either the secure or clear mode on a digital
channel.
• It is on continuously when receiving a clear call in the secure mode on a digital channel.
• There is a programmable option on the Radio Wide screen to sound a beep whenever a
secure call is received on a clear channel.

11.3 Clear/Secure Strapping
11.3.1 Transmit Mode Options
The following transmit options are available when encryption is selected:
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 4.11.3), it occurs in the secure mode.
Secure - All calls are made in the selected secure mode.
Switched - The mode is selected by the C/S (Clear/Secure) option switch. When the
clear mode is selected by this switch, “CLEAR” is flashed, and when the secure mode is
selected, “SECURE” is flashed.
If the channel has been strapped “Clear” and the option switch selects the “Secure” mode
on power up and a transmission is attempted, “Clear Only” is displayed and transmitting is
disabled. Likewise, if the channel is strapped “Secure” and the option switch selects the
“Clear” mode on power up and a transmission is attempted, “Secure Only” is displayed
and the transmitter is disabled.
The radio can be programmed to ignore the “Clear” or “Secure” switch setting (“Ignore
Clear/Secure Switch When Strapped” selected on Global screen). These preceding
indications then do not occur and transmissions always occur in the strapped mode.
Note
If all channels/talk groups are strapped clear or secure and no C/S (Clear/Secure) option
switch is programmed, this parameter must always be selected (see following).
If the C/S (Clear/Secure) switch is not programmed, the radio is always in the last known
state (usually Clear) and there is no way to change it. For example, if the last known state
is Clear and this parameter is not selected, it is never possible to transmit a Secure message
on a channel strapped Secure because all that happens is transmitting is disabled, an error
tone sounds, and “Sec Only” is displayed.
11.3.2 Receive Mode Options
The following receive options can be programmed with conventional operation. With
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked operation, encrypted calls are received if the
proper key is programmed.
No Autodetect - Only signals coded like the transmit signals are received.
Secure Autodetect - Both clear and secure signals are automatically detected. This
mode is automatically selected if the transmit mode is switch selectable.
-6
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual

Proper Key Autodetect
Analog Channels - When this feature is disabled and a message is received with the
wrong key, the audio unmutes and garbled (encrypted) audio is heard. However, if
this occurs with this feature enabled, the audio remains muted.
Digital Channels - When this feature is enabled and a message is received with a
different key, but the key resides in the radio, the audio is decrypted and received
normally even though the key is assigned to a different talk group. If this feature is
disabled or the key does not reside in the radio, the audio remains muted.
11.3.3 Talk Group Encryption Override
On conventional digital (P25) channels, the encryption strapping mode and PID are
programmed on a per talk group basis similar to the trunked modes (SMARTNET/
SmartZone/P25 Trunked). However, with this mode only, there is the option to override
the talk group encryption programming and program it on a per-channel basis. Therefore,
if desired on conventional digital channels, encryption can be programmed differently for
each channel. Conventional analog channel encryption is always programmed on a perchannel basis.
11.4 OTAR (Over-The-Air Rekeying)
OTAR stands for “Over-The Air-Rekeying”. This is the process of sending encryption
keys and related key management messages over-the-air to specific radios. The advantage
of OTAR is that it allows these keys to be quickly and conveniently updated when
necessary. It is no longer necessary to periodically travel to the radio location or bring the
radio into a maintenance facility to load new keys.
The actual OTAR rekeying functions are performed by a Key Management Facility
(KMF) that sends Key Management Messages (KMM) to the radios. These messages are
themselves encrypted using a unique key. Radios must be OTAR-compatible and
programmed for OTAR for this type of rekeying to occur.
OTAR is available only on P25 conventional and trunked channels, and only to program
DES-OFB and AES keys. It is not used on SMARTNET/SmartZone channels or to load
DES keys.

11.4.1 Encryption Key Types
There are two types of keys used with OTAR:
TEK (Traffic Encryption Key) - The key used to encrypt voice and data traffic. All
radios using encryption must have at least one of these keys. This is also another name
for the keys used without OTAR.
KEK (Key Encryption Key) - The key used to encrypt keys contained in OTAR Key
Management Messages (KMMs). All radios which use OTAR must contain at least one
of these keys. The KEK used to decrypt/encrypt keys in an OTAR message is defined
by the algorithm and key IDs transmitted in the decryption instructions field. A KEK
may be unique to a particular radio (UKEK) or common to a group of radios (CKEK).
11.4.2 Keysets
To simplify key management, a number of keys may be grouped together in a keyset. A
keyset is simply a set of one or more keys of the same type (either TEK or KEK). Keysets
are identified by Keyset IDs, and the upper four bits of this ID specify the crypto group
(see next section).
The KEK keyset is considered always active and is ID 255. Two TEK keysets are
normally used, and one is always active and the other inactive. This allows the inactive
keyset to be replaced without interrupting operation. One is Keyset ID 1 and the other
Keyset ID 2. With EFJohnson radios, each keyset can contain up to 128 keys, but less than
16 are normally used for optimum keying efficiency and because only up to 16 can be
selected by the radio.
The active keyset is usually selected by the Key Management Facility. It can also be
selected by the EFJohnson SMA keyloader or by the user if the KY CHG option switch is
programmed. Automatic keyset changeovers are not supported by EFJohnson radios. In
the SLN mode (see Section 11.2.2), two TEK keysets can be used if desired even if OTAR
is not used.
A diagram of a keyset is shown in Figure 11.2. Some information may be optional as
shown. The 5300 ES mobile does not support or use the Update Item and Time/Date
parameters.

11.4.3 Crypto Groups
A crypto group contains up to 16 keysets of the same type of key, either TEK or KEK (see
Section 11.4.1). However, only two keysets are typically used as just described. Crypto
groups are used to help manage keys such as when a radio uses keys with different active
times or multiple algorithms. Currently, only one crypto group is supported, and it is
always ID 0. As shown in Figure 11.3, the crypto group ID is the upper four bits of both
the SLN and Keyset IDs.

11.4.4 Key Management Facility
The Key Management Facility (KMF) provides key management and OTAR functions to
applicable radios within the radio system. One of the main tasks of the KMF is to maintain
a data base of information contained in each radio. This information may include the
following:
• TEKs (main Traffic Encryption Keys)
• KEKs (Key Encryption Keys) used to encrypt OTAR messages
• Keysets (groups of TEKs or KEKs)
• Crypto groups (groups of keysets)
• Cryptonets (groups of radios using same keys)
• Individual and group Radio Set Identifiers (RSIs)
• List of probable lost or stolen radios
The KMF performs OTAR functions by exchanging Key Management Messages (KMMs)
with the radios. Both the KMF and radio can originate messages. Some functions
performed by the KMF are as follows:
• Loading new keys
• Modifying keys
• Initiating keyset switch overs
• Modifying keyset attributes
• Deleting one or more keys to remove a radio from a cryptonet)
• Deleting all keys (zeroize) when a radio may be lost or compromised
• Determining if a radio is on the air and reading key information
• Changing individual and group RSIs

11.4.5 Message Number Period (MNP)
One of the parameters that is programmed in a radio utilizing OTAR is Message Number
Period (MNP). This parameter is programmed as described in Section 11.5.1. This
parameter is used to minimize the possibility of someone sending messages to “spoof” the
system. The MNP is used as follows.
Every message sent out has a message number. The message number increments by one
with each message sent. The MNP is the maximum difference allowed between messages.
For example, if the MNP is set to 1000 and the last message number received by the radio
is different by more than 1000 from the current message number, the current message is
ignored. If the MNP is set to 65535, message numbers are ignored.
When determining this number, consider the likelihood of someone trying to spoof the
system by retransmitting recorded messages and then adjust the MNP accordingly. The
higher the risk, the smaller the MNP should be. A disadvantage of setting a low MNP is
that the chance of blocking out intended messages becomes higher. In addition, traffic
level and terrain contribute to lost messages and should also be considered when selecting
this number.
A setting of 1000 is a good compromise because it blocks out real old messages but is
unlikely to affect anything intentionally sent out by the system (1000 messages sent to a
single radio is not likely to occur in a system in less than a year with normal usage).
11.4.6 Definitions
Algorithm - Refers to the specific encryption standard (DES or AES) that is used to
encrypt a message. Each standard uses different calculations to perform the encryption
(see Section 11.1).
Algorithm ID (ALGID) - Identifies the algorithm (DES or AES) used to encrypt a
message. This ID and the Key ID are transmitted with each message to uniquely identify
the key being used.
Black - Refers to information that is encrypted. The opposite is “Red” which refers to
unencrypted information.
Common Key Encryption Key (CKEK) - This is a KEK common to a group of
subscriber units which share the same encryption keys (are part of same crypto group).
These keys can be the DES or AES type. The use of a common key allows the subscriber
units to be rekeyed by the KMF using one Key Management Message. Refer to “KEK” for
more information.
Common Key Reference (CKR) Group - Same as Storage Location Number (SLN).
December 2006
Draft
5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual
-11
Crypto Group - A group of up to 16 keysets containing the same type of keys (either TEK
or KEK). Although a crypto group can contain up to 16 keysets, only two are normally
used. Only one keyset in a crypto group is active at a time. EFJohnson radios currently
support only one crypto group.
Cryptographic Variable - The variable used by a cryptographic algorithm to encrypt a
message. Also called a “key”.
Currency - Relates to the need for key updates. If a subscriber unit is current, it does not
require a key update at the current time. If it is not current, the KMF has new keys for that
subscriber unit or CKR group have not been sent or have been sent but not acknowledged.
Group Rekeying - The process of changing the keys in several subscriber units with a
single message addressed to the group rather than changing each subscriber unit
separately. This addressing is done using a group RSI. Group rekeying reduces system
overhead and makes rekeying more efficient. Subscriber units in the same group must be
programmed with a common KEK (CKEK) and use the same TEKs.
Key - A variable used by a cryptographic algorithm to encrypt voice or data. Also called
“Cryptographic Variable”.
Key Encryption Key (KEK) - A key used to encrypt keys contained in Key Management
Messages (KMMs) during OTAR. These messages may themselves be encrypted by the
currently active TEK. These keys can be the AES or DES type. There are KEKs unique to
a subscriber unit (UKEK) and common to a group (CKEK). The other type of key is the
Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) used to encrypt voice and data messages.
Key ID - This is a 16-bit (four hex digit) number identifier from 1-65535 for an encryption
key which allows the key to be identified without revealing the actual key variable. This
ID and the Algorithm ID uniquely identify a key within the KMF or subscriber unit.
Therefore, two keys can have the same ID if they have different algorithm IDs and vice
versa. The Key ID and Algorithm ID are usually transmitted with a message to identify the
key that must be used to decrypt it. Key ID 0 is not used with OTAR.
Key Management Facility (KMF) - The equipment and software which provide OTAR
and related key management services to the subscriber units.
Key Management Message (KMM) - These are the messages composed by the KMF to
send encryption information to subscriber units via the keyloader or OTAR. KMMs are
themselves encrypted using two layers of encryption: inner and outer. The inner layer of
encryption is the KEK and the outer layer is the TEK. At this layer, the KMMs are also
included in a Common Air Interface (CAI) message which adds another layer of
addressing. In addition, a Message Authentication Code (MAC) is used.
Keyset - A group of keys of the same type (KEK or TEK) that are managed as a single
entity (they can be updated, deleted, and rekeyed with a single command).
Keyset Changeover - The process used to switch a subscriber unit to another keyset so
that the unused keyset can be replaced without interrupting encrypted communication.
-12

Key Loader - Any type of device used to load encryption keys into a radio. With OTAR,
this device must be used to provide the initial key loading of a subscriber unit so that it
contains the basic keys needed for OTAR by the KMF. If OTAR is not utilized, is always
used to load encryption keys. All keys stored in the key loader are themselves encrypted.
EFJohnson offers a PDA-based keyloader.
Logical Link ID (LLID) - An ID transmitted with a data message to identify the
destination of the message.
Message Number Period (MNP) - The maximum difference between message numbers
that can occur before a message is declared invalid (see Section 11.4.5).
Over-The-Air-Rekeying (OTAR) - The process of sending new encryption keys over the
air using an RF interface.
Red - Refers to information that is not encrypted. The opposite is “Black”.
Rekey - The process of preparing, sending, and loading encryption keys into a subscriber
unit for current or future use. This may be done over-the-air (OTAR) or by directly
connecting a keyloader to the subscriber unit.
Radio Set Identifier (RSI) - Subscriber units are programmed with one or more Radio
Set Identifier (RSI) numbers that identify the unit for OTAR purposes. The RSI can be
unique to a individual subscriber unit or unique to a group of subscriber units. An
individual (unit) RSI is always assigned and one or more group RSIs may be assigned.
The individual RSI is typically programmed when the subscriber unit is initially brought
into service. The KMF is also identified by an RSI (KMFRSI) to use as the destination of
any KMMs a subscriber unit originates. The KMMs (Key Management Messages)
generated by the KMF (Key Management Facility) are addressed to a specific RSI.
Storage Location Number (SLN) - A link to a specific key (TEK or KEK) in the active
keyset. The SLN specifies both a crypto group and a key within the keysets in that crypto
group (the first four bits of the SLN are the crypto group ID). SLNs and CKRs are
equivalent terms (see Section 11.2).
Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) - A key used to encrypt voice or data. The other type of
key is the Key Encryption Key (KEK) which is used to encrypt keys contained in Key
Management Messages. TEKs can be either the AES or DES type.
Unique Key Encryption Key (UKEK) - A KEK unique to a particular subscriber unit.
Refer to “KEK” for more information. These keys can be either the AES or DES type.
Zeroize - The process of deleting all keys from a compromised subscriber unit to disable
it. To make the unit functional again, the keys must be reloaded by a keyloader.

11.5 Radio Setup For Encryption
The following radio setup is required for encryption regardless of whether OTAR is used:
Options Enabled - The desired encryption type must have been enabled at the factory
(DES, DES-OFB, AES). To determine what options are enabled, using the PC
Configure programming software, select the Transfer > Read Options From Radio
menu parameter.
The following are set through PC Configure Programming:
PID/SLN Mode - On the Global screen (Page 2) select either the PID or SLN mode
(see Section 11.2.2). If the SLN mode is used, also program the Keys Table by clicking
the
button.
Infinite Key Retention - On the Global screen, select this parameter to store keys
permanently in memory (see Section 11.2.3).
Erase Keys On Keyset Change - On the Global screen, if the SLN mode is selected
and more than one keyset is used (see Section 11.4.2), select this parameter to erase
keys when changing keysets (see Section 11.2.5).
Program Channel/Group PIDs and Encryption Type - With conventional analog
calls, this information is programmed on the channel screen. With other types, it is
programmed in the talk group list selected on the system screen. In addition, with
conventional digital calls, the group programming can be overridden on the channel
screen (see Section 11.3.3). Additional PIDs for special calls can also be specified on
the system screen for digital and trunked calls.
Note
The encryption type is not selectable on digital channels because the AES/DES mode is
determined by the key type loaded, not by PC Configure programming.
Currently, EFJohnson 5300 ES mobiles meet the following requirements support OTAR:
Software Version Number - The software version number is briefly displayed when
power is turned on. It can also be determined using the PC Configure programming
software by selecting the Transfer > Read Version Info from Radio menu parameter.
Programming - An RSI and UKEK and other information must be programmed as
described in the next section.
11.5.1 Additional Setup For OTAR
The following parameters must be programmed in PC Configure for OTAR operation in
addition to those in Section 11.5.
??? I tried to change the following to match the PCC screens for OTAR.
1 On the Radio Wide Conventional screen, program the Digital Unit ID.

2 On the Global screen, Page 2, set the Unit RSI ID as desired (normally this ID is
initially the same as the Digital Unit ID). It can be changed later by the KMF or
keyloader if desired. Note these two IDs.
3 On the Per System Conventional screen, Page 2, for OTAR and Data Settings, select
OTAR Enabled = On and Data Registration Enabled = On. When data registration is
enabled, the radio registers with the data system on a channel change.
4 Also on this screen, set the other OTAR and Data parameters. The OTAR Rekey
Request Time Out determines how long the radio waits for a response from the KMF.
Times of 20-180 seconds can be programmed, and the default is 30 seconds. Refer to
the PC Configure software manual and Help for more information on these parameters.
11.5.1.1
Motorola RNC Registration (If Required)
The 5300 ES may not support Motorola dynamic data registration. Therefore, each radio
may need to be manually registered on the Motorola RNC Console by entering the
following command:
LCRD 03 06 00 1234 7F xx xx xx 0A 0A 00 07 00 yy
Where, “xx xx xx” is the hex value of the Digital Unit ID entered by the PC Configure
software. Refer to the console documentation for the value of “yy” or use “00”. This
registration needs to be done only once.
11.5.1.2
Programming By Keyloader
The following are the minimum parameters that need to be programmed in the radio to
perform OTAR. It is not necessary to program a TEK to perform OTAR. If the radio does
not contain a TEK, the KMF initiates a warm start-up sequence in which a temporary TEK
is transferred to the radio to perform the key transfer.
UKEK - This key normally has SLN (CKR) 61440 and Key ID 62880 (F5A0 hex).
Create a key (either AES or DES type as required) and download it to the radio.
Unit RSI - This is normally initially the same as the P25 Unit ID and is programmed by
the PC Configure software as described at the first of Section 11.5. Therefore, the RSI
should not need to be loaded if it is the first time the radio is being set up for OTAR or
if the radio dumps keys due to long-term battery disconnect. However, it may need to
be loaded if the radio is manually deleted from the KMF and then recreated since the
message number must be reset to 0 (the Load Target RSI command resets the message
number to 0).
KMF RSI - This RSI is normally 9,999,999 and should not need to be loaded since it
defaults to this number.
MNP (Message Number Period) - Load the proper message number period into the
radio (typically 1000). Refer to Section 11.4.5 for more information.

11.6 Radio OTAR Capabilities
This section discusses Radio Over The Air Rekeying (OTAR) capabilities for the UCM
Equipped 5300 ES.
11.6.1 SEM 5300 ES
The OTAR capabilities of the SEM-equipped 5300 ES mobile are as follows. Refer to
Section Section 9 for more version information.
Keysets
• Up to three keysets are used and it is assumed all three are always present.Keyset IDs 1
and 2 are for TEKs and only one is active at a time. Keyset ID 255 is for KEKs and is
considered active all the time
• Each keyset can have up to 128 keys. However, 16 or less are normally used.
• AES encryption is supported, but not currently available with OTAR (future availability
is planned).
RSI (Radio Set Identifier)
• One individual RSI and it is usually initially the same as the P25 Unit ID.
• One group RSI (usually initially “0”).
• One KMF RSI (usually always 9,999,999).
OTAR Messages That Are Supported
The following KMM Message IDs are recognized by or sent:

11.6.2 UCM Equipped 5300 ES
The 5300 ES UCM versions (see Section 9) use the Motorola UCM encryption module.
Therefore, the OTAR capabilities are determined by that module. All capabilities of the
Motorola KVL and KMF are supported. Initial radio programming by the PC Configure
software is the same as described in Section 11.5.
11.6.3 OTAR Option Switches
The following additional option switches can be programmed with the 5300 ES mobile to
control OTAR functions.
Change Keyset - Toggles the active keyset between Keyset 1 and Keyset 2. The new
active keyset is briefly displayed and then normal operation resumes. To change to the
other keyset, highlight it and press the  key.
Clear/Secure Select - This enables and disables encryption regardless of whether
OTAR is used. Refer to Section 11.3 for more information.
Erase Keys - Erases all TEK and KEK keys contained in the radio.
Key Select - This allows a different key to be selected for the current channel or group
(conventional channels only). Refer to Section 11.2.4 for more information.
OTAR Rekey Request - Sends a message which tells the KMF that the radio is on the
air and requests rekeying. The following status messages are displayed which indicate
the progress of this function.
Rekeying - A radio-initiated rekeying session is in process.

No Ack - No response was received from the KMF in response to an Identify request
before time out occurred (approximately 30 seconds).
Ack Rcvd - An acknowledgement was received in response to an Identify request.
No Service - A “No Service” reply was received from the KMF. No rekeying will take
place.
Rekey Fail - Either the rekey command failed or timed out (after approximately 30
seconds). This message could indicate that the rekey request message was not received
by the KMF. However, depending on the KMF configuration and channel traffic, it is
possible that the message was received and a response is still pending.
Rekeyed! - The rekey session initiated by the radio was successful.
