SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
The M/A-COM P7200 portable radio generates RF
electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational
Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the
course of employment by individuals aware of the
hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This
radio is NOT intended for use by the “General
Population” in an uncontrolled environment.
The P7200 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF
exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM
radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF
energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for
exposure to humans:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
CAUTION
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may
damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be
exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by
M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use
with this radio. (Refer to Table 2.)
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty
cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio
will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
5
• Always transmit using low power when possible (refer to the section
“High/Low Power Adjustment”). In addition to conserving battery
charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.
• ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries,
belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause
the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements
to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 2.)
• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) from
the body and at least 5 cm (2 inches) from the face when transmitting to
ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances
listed in Table 1. However, to provide the recipients of your transmission
the best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from
mouth, and slightly off to one side.

7
OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio.
Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges,
inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range
of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be
obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in
another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve
communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an
externally mounted antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a
portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries.
EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION
For optimum audio clarity at the receiving radio(s), hold the portable radio
approximately three inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone at
a normal voice level.
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a
message.
Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not
hold when transmitting a message.
WARNING
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when transmitting!
Antenna Care and Replacement
WARNING
Always keep the antenna at least 0.8 inches (2 cm.) away from
the body and 2 inches (5 cm.) from the face when transmitting
to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not
exceeded.
WARNING
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing
antenna. A minor burn may result if a damaged antenna comes
into contact with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna
immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna
missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may
violate FCC regulations.
8
WARNING
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications or attachments could cause damage to
the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. (Refer to Table
2.)
Electronic Devices
CAUTION
RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic
equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars,
hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in
areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio
equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!
Aircraft
WARNING
Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft!
• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
• DO NOT use while in-flight!!
Electric Blasting Caps
WARNING
To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO
NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting
operations. Always obey the "Turn Off Two-Way Radios"
signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used.
(OSHA Standard: 1926.900)
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
WARNING
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not
always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as
gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio
or its accessories could generate sparks.
9
BATTERIES
The P7200 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel
Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries.
BATTERY CHARGING/CONDITIONING
After receiving a new rechargeable battery pack, it should be fully charged
before placing it into service (see “New Battery” caution below). This also
applies to rechargeable batteries that have been stored for long periods
(weeks, months, or longer). When the battery pack requires charging, the
radio will signal the operator with an alert tone and the icon will appear in
the LCD.
Chargers are available with nominal charge times of one hour. Combinations
include single and multi-position, rapid charge units. When charging a battery
pack that is attached to a radio, always power the radio OFF to ensure a full
charge. For specific instructions, refer to the applicable charger Operator’s
Manual. Charging in non-M/A-COM equipment may lead to battery damage
and void the battery warranty.
CAUTION
When charging new batteries or batteries that have been in
storage for long periods (weeks, months, or longer), the
charger may stop early in the recharging cycle. Though the
charger will indicate a “ready” status, the battery may
actually have reduced capacity. This phenomenon is
related to battery chemistry and is more pronounced on
NiMH batteries. Charging and discharging the battery
several times will alleviate this condition. This may be
performed using the charger and radio or by using one of
the many battery conditioning products on the market.
After 3-5 cycles this phenomenon should no longer occur
in regularly used and well maintained batteries.
Improvements in the manufacturing of present generation NiCd rechargeable
batteries minimize the probability of M/A-COM batteries developing memory.
If memory is suspected, then it can be easily canceled by charging and
discharging the problem battery two or three times. The battery should be
charged using a M/A-COM rapid charger and discharged on the radio until
low battery is indicated.
10
BATTERY DISPOSAL
Nickel Cadmium Battery
At the end of its useful life, under various state and local
laws, it may be illegal to dispose of Nickel Cadmium
b
atteries into the municipal waste stream. Check with local
solid waste officials for recycling options and proper
disposal. Call Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information
and/or procedures for returning rechargeable batteries in
your state.
Nickel Metal Hydride Battery
There are no special requirements concerning the disposal of NiMH batteries.
Batteries can be recycled. Call Toll Free 1-800-8BATTERY for information.
11
SCOPE
This manual will first introduce the user to the P7200 product line in general,
identifying Regulatory and Safety requirements, Options and Accessories, the
user interface, and other common components in the first few sections of the
manual. The balance of this manual will then be devoted to functionality.
It is not the intent of this manual to cover all modes of operation. As other
modes of operation become available the operation will be covered in
additional manuals.
12
INTRODUCTION
The P7200 series radios are dual-band multi-mode portable radios. The dual-
band (700/800 MHz) P7200 portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted
digital voice and IP data communications. It is designed to support multiple
operating modes including:
• OpenSky® Trunked mode
• EDACS® or ProVoice™ Trunked mode
• P25 Trunked mode
• P25 Digital Conventional mode
• Conventional Analog mode
As software-defined radios, the P7200 portables can include all of these
modes or just one. Additional modes can be added later with software
updates.
The P7200 supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features,
including voice group calls, priority scanning, pre-emptive emergency calls,
late call entry, and dynamic reconfiguration. It performs autonomous roaming
for wide area applications. High quality voice coding and robust audio
components assure speech clarity.
In the trunked modes, the user selects a communications system and group.
While communicating in a trunked mode, channel selection is transparent to
the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system
controller. This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to
communication channels.
In Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a channel and communicates
directly on that channel. In this mode, a system refers to a set of channels. A
channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the
radio’s programming, and the particular radio system. Most features
described in this manual can be enabled through programming. Consult your
System Administrator for the particular features programmed into your P7200.
For further detail about features and operation refer to the appropriate
maintenance manual or contact your System Administrator.
WATER RESISTANCE
The P7200 series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse
conditions. These radios meet MIL-STD-810F specifications for driven rain,
humidity, and salt fog.

CONTROLS
The radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button mounted
on the top of the radio. Push-To-Talk, option, and monitor buttons are
mounted on the side. The front mounted keypad has six buttons on the P7250
Scan model and 15 buttons on the P7270 System Radio. The P7230 Select
model radio has no front keypad.
Buttons and Knobs
The function of the button and knob controls will vary with mode of
operation. This manual will deal primarily with OpenSky functionality. The
primary functions of the button and knob controls when in the OpenSky mode
of operation are listed in the paragraphs below. Other functions associated
with these controls are detailed in later sections.
POWER ON-OFF
VOLUME KNOB Applies power to and adjusts the receiver’s volume. Rotating
the control clockwise applies power to the radio. A single alert
tone (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is
operational.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level.
Minimum volume levels may be programmed into the radio to
p
revent missed calls due to a low volume setting. While
adjusting the volume the display will momentarily indicate the
volume level (i.e. VOL=31). The volume range is from a
minimum programmed level of zero (displayed as OFF in the
display) up to 31, which is the loudest level.
CONTROL KNOB Selects systems or groups*/channels (depending on pro-
gramming). This is a 16-position rotary knob.
Note: A mechanical stop, which can limit the positions
accessed, is shipped with the radio but must be installed. To
install the mechanical stop, remove the channel knob, loosen the
set screw on the channel knob metal base (using a 1.27mm hex
wrench), and remove the channel knob metal base. Replace the
16 channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the desired
channel. Reinstall the channel knob metal base, tighten the set
screw, and reinstall the channel knob.
EMERGENCY/
HOME BUTTON Automatically selects a pre-
p
rogrammed “designated”
Group/System by pressing and holding for a programmed
duration. It can also be used to declare an emergency by
p
ressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button

UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR (UDC)
The Universal Device Connector (UDC) provides connections for external
accessories such as a headset or a speaker-microphone and for programming
cables. The UDC is located on the right side of the radio (opposite the PTT
Button). When the radio is locked in a vehicular charger the UDC provides
the audio and control connections between the radio and the vehicular charger.
The UDC facilitates programming and testing the radio. The UDC pins
perform different functions depending on the accessory attached to the UDC.
25
OPENSKY OPERATION
Once an OpenSky system has been selected from the available systems on
your P7200 series portable radio, the characteristics described in the following
sections will govern operation.
PERSONALITY
As illustrated in Figure 11, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups
available to the user. It is the structuring of a collection of profiles and
privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator to provide the
user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the
necessary talk groups or individuals.
Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the
radio. This process is called “provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at radio
power-up and at user log-in. Each personality can contain up to sixteen (16)
profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups.
Profiles
As stated above, each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. A
profile also defines the radio’s emergency behavior. All transmissions are
made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of the dwell
display). The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk
groups within the profile.

DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION
Digital voice programmed systems have three (3) different voice modes: clear
(analog), digital, and private (encrypted). The voice modes are programmed
on a per-group basis within each trunked system and on a per-channel basis
within each conventional system.
Clear Mode
The Clear Mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives
only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and
non-encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can be monitored easily by
unauthorized persons.
NOTE
Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot
transmit or receive digital or private messages.
Digital Mode
The Digital Mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice
signals. Digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and cannot
be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels
programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Message
trunked group calls and individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in
the mode in which they were received assuming the call or hang time is still
active. Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if
the digital mode is disabled or inoperative.
1. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the
analog mode during the hang time on the working channel.
2. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the analog mode
during the hang time.
3. When using the *WHC* feature to respond to an I-Call (after the hang
time has expired), the call is transmitted in the mode defined by the
system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID being called
is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is
transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that
ID.
The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode.
35
Private Mode
The Private Mode allows the radio to transmit encrypted messages and receive
clear or private transmissions. The radio transmits private if the group/channel
is programmed for private operation and forced operation is pre-programmed.
If autoselect operation is pre-programmed and the radio is in the Private
Mode, the radio transmits in the mode of the received call if the hang time is
active. If no hang time is active, the radio transmits private.
Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radio using a cryptographic
Keyloader. Up to seven (7) different cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can
be transferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio. An individual key is
automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radio
programming. Groups and channels within the digital system can be
programmed for keys 1-7 (private). Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for
private systems. The bank is specified per system.
When operating on a group or channel programmed for Private Mode, all
transmissions are private transmissions and the radio receives clear and
private signals. The status icon is displayed when the Private Mode is
enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select
capability, the mode may be toggled between private and clear with the
key, then following the selection mode rules. Radios programmed for forced
private operation do not allow a change of the transmit mode.
Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number
To Display the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number for either the
system encryption key (for special call such as individual, phone, all, agency
or fleet) or the group/channel key (for group or conventional calls), perform
the following procedure:
1. Press the button.
2. Use the or button to select "DISP KEY."
3. Then use the or button to toggle between displaying the system
key or the group/channel key.
System Encryption Key
Figure 16: System Encryption Key Display
36
Group/Channel Encryption Key
Figure 17: Group/Channel Encryption Key Display
Key Zero
All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing
the MONITOR/CLEAR button and while still pressing this button, press and
hold the OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of beeps
will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone
after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO.
If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred
from the Keyloader into the radio before private communications may
continue.
Private Operation
Receiving an Encrypted Call
When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private
operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it
will be decrypted, the icon is displayed, the receiver will unsquelch and the
message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur the selected group or
channel must be programmed for private operation and the correct
cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio.
Transmitting an Encrypted Call
1. Select the desired group or channel
2. Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing key, then follow the
selection mode rules. On a System radio, the key can be used to
toggle the Private Mode ON/OFF. When Private Mode is enabled, the
icon is displayed.
If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be
enabled on power up. Also, the Private Mode will be enabled if forced
operation has been programmed in the radio.
37
If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation,
PVT DIS will be displayed if an attempt is made to enable private
transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in
Private Mode.
If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY#
will be displayed and the call will not be transmitted.
3. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access
tone will be heard when the PTT button is pressed.
Scanned Group Calls
Receiving a Scanned Group Call is the same as receiving a selected group
call. During the scan hang time, if the radio was programmed for autoselect, it
will transmit back in the same mode it received the call. For example, if a
clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the
same group was available in private and entered in the scan list, it can receive
clear and private calls, provided autoselect was programmed in the radio. The
user can select transmitting on the scanned or selected group. If a group is
entered in the scan list more than once and in different modes (clear, digital,
private), only the first occurrence of the group will be used.

TRUNKED OPERATION
SCANNING TRUNKED GROUPS
Groups that have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis
may be scanned. Each system's group scan list is retained in memory when the
radio is powered OFF or when the battery pack is removed.
The following procedures outline scan operations for trunked groups. See the
conventional mode operating procedures for specific procedures on
conventional channel scanning.
Turning Scan On and Off
1. Toggle Scan operation ON by pressing (Scan model) or (System
model). icon rotates clockwise to indicate radio is scanning.
2. Toggle Scan operation OFF by again pressing (Scan model) or
(System model). will disappear.
• If the radio scans to a group other than the selected group then
receives a call on the selected group, the radio will switch to the
selected group. However, if the “scanned-to” group is programmed
at a higher priority the radio will remain on the “scanned-to” group.
• The radio will continue scanning if a new group is selected when
scan is ON.
Pressing the PTT button when scan is ON will cause the radio to transmit on
the displayed group or to the currently selected group (depending on
programming).
Adding Groups to a Scan List

4. Press the key a second time to set the group to Priority 2. A is
displayed on line three.
Press a third time to set the group to Priority 1. A is displayed on line
three. The priority level section sequence only advances the group to the next
high priority level and stops at priority level 1. To select a lower priority level,
the group must be deleted from the scan list and then added back to the scan
list. Each new group added to the scan list starts at the lowest priority. If the
Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups are already set and a new group is assigned as
Priority 1 or Priority 2, the previously assigned group will change to non-
priority scanning. One of the following messages may be momentarily
displayed:
SCAN DIS The radio is not programmed to scan.
FIXED P1 A Priority 1 group has been pre-
p
rogrammed into the radio. A
new Priority 1 group cannot be selected.
FIXD LST A fixed scan list has been pre-
p

higher priority level and stops at priority level 1. To select a lower priority
level, the group must be deleted from the scan list and then added back to the
scan list. Each new group added to the scan list starts at the lowest priority. If
the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups are already set and a new group is assigned
as Priority 1 or Priority 2, the previously assigned group will change to non-
priority scanning. One of the following messages may be momentarily
displayed:
SCAN DIS The radio is not programmed to scan.
FIXED P1 A Priority 1 group has been pre-
p
rogrammed into the radio. A

, ,or turns OFF. Any group that is not in a trunked system group scan
list will show a "blank" for the time out period when it is the selected channel.
Nuisance Delete
A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected
group, by pressing the key (Scan model) or the key (System model)
during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group. The
group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as
if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain
deleted if the radio is powered OFF and then powered ON.
SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS
The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These
features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or
menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled
during radio operation. This is covered in the Menu Selection and Pre-
Programmed Keypad Key sections. The System Scan state will be maintained
through system changes but will default to ON when the radio is powered ON.
Wide Area System Scanning
The P7200 series radios can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan
operation for roaming across mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently
selected system's control channel, radios can be programmed to automatically
scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found,
the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.
Priority System Scan
The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority
system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the control channel
of the selected system, the radio will periodically leave the selected system
and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a
programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control
(unless the ProScan™ algorithm is enabled, as explained in the following
sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed
or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or
meets the predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch
to the priority system.
Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function
If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins
to wide area system scan, the radio will only scan for the priority system
control channel if the priority system is in the wide area scan list.
42
When ProScan is Enabled
The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if
the criteria defined by the controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met.
If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the priority
system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan
Options dialog box.
ProScan
The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-
site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is an
improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed to replace
ProSound™ scanning. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a
new system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops
below a predefined level. This is accomplished by enabling each radio to
analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compares it with
the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list.
(The signal quality metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a
combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Control
Channel Verification (CCV) measurements.) When the selected system
degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better
control channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed
parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone
(if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost,
the radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed
adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found.
Menu Selection
Press and then use the or buttons to scroll through the selections
until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press to toggle the System Scan
state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two
seconds to show the new state.
Pre-Programmed Keypad Key
Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or
SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new
state.
EMERGENCY OPERATION
The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain
locked on an emergency system and group, and the emergency audio and
display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When
an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the
emergency has been cleared.
43
Receiving an Emergency Call
When receiving an Emergency Call on the selected group and system, an alert
beep is heard and is displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the
display on line two until the emergency condition is cleared.
Declaring an Emergency Call
To send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally
pre-programmed group), proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in
front of the antenna for approximately one second (this time is
programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the
system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request
with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received.
2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a
single beep indicating the radio has auto keyed (see Table 4) and is ready
for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two in the display
until the emergency is cleared.
3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. and
momentarily turn ON.
4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete.
To clear the emergency first press and hold the CLEAR/MONITOR button.
While continuing to hold the CLEAR/MONITOR button, press the
EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed to clear
emergencies.)
INDIVIDUAL CALLS
Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call (Trunked Mode
Only)
When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's
radio), it un-mutes on the assigned working channel and displays . The first
line on the display shows the logical ID number of the unit sending the
message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual
call list. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is
received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller un-keys and
will continue until the PTT button, the CLEAR/MONITOR button or the
individual call mode is entered.
NOTE
The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control
levels.
44
If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed
call-back time-out, the call will automatically be directed to the originating
unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio will
return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of
the LCD.
To respond after the call-back time-out, press the key. The radio's display
will show the callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line.
Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an individual call back to the
original caller.
The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as
shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group
calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is
stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial/Conventional Mode
Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it
may be necessary to “over-dial” more digits to access banking services,
answering machines, credit card calls, or other types of systems that require
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) access digits.
Overdial operation can also be used to initiate a telephone interconnect call
via DTMF signalling if a dial tone has already been accessed on the system.
This method makes a telephone interconnect call while operating in the
conventional mode but will also function in trunked mode if a dial tone is
directly accessible.
Telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing can be stored
in the phone list when programming the radio. These numbers are accessed
by pressing , then following the selection mode rules. The following steps
are required to dial these numbers:

STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status
condition to the EDACS site. Message operation permits the transmission of a
pre-programmed message text to an EDACS site.
Status Operation
To send a status condition, press the key followed by or key to
select the pre-programmed status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed
status selections are available from the menu. If STATUS is selected you need
to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no status
has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display
NO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the status text to appear in the
display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the key
has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is
selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory
where it can be polled by the site at a future time. Status messages can also be
programmed for single key operation so that a single press of a key assigned
to a status message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not
receive the status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.
The status selection can also be canceled by pressing the CLEAR button prior
to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the
key and then the key to ramp to STS, re-press the key again and then
the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent
successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the
display.
Message Operation
Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the
previous section.
Dynamic Regroup Operation
Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be
added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed
to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio
51
until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that
receives and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully
regrouped.
Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITOR button for 2.5 seconds toggles
the user into and out of the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will
sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a
digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled
by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group
that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio
will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition
except for scanned groups.
Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an
EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will
declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic group.
Macro Key Operation
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes
with a single "macro" keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up
to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input (i.e., keypad keys,
OPTION button, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate
when pressed or when released.
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence
the next time the macro key is activated.
For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your
communications supervisor or administrator.
PORTABLE DATA
The P7200 series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS
configuration, permit either voice or data calls to be transmitted or received.
The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, either data or
voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the
radio. Data communications is not supported in the conventional mode.
The radios can be connected to Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) or to a host
computer. Any RS-232 compatible device that supports the Radio Data
Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be connected to the
radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per
radio. Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation
(no voice calls transmitted or received).
