SAFETY TRAINING
INFORMATION
Your Com-Net
Ericsson 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.
This radio has been tested and
complies with the FCC RF
exposure limits for “Occupational
Use Only.” In addition, your Com-
Net Ericsson radio complies with
the following Standards and
Guidelines with regard to RF
energy and electromagnetic energy
levels and evaluation of such levels

CAUTION
To ensure that your
exposure to RF
electromagnetic
energy is within the
FCC allowable limits
for occupational
use, always adhere
to the following
guidelines:
5
• DO NOT operate the radio
without a proper antenna
attached, as this may damage
the radio and may also cause
you to exceed FCC RF
exposure limits. A proper
antenna is the antenna
supplied with this radio by
Com-Net Ericsson or an
antenna specifically
authorized by Com-Net
Ericsson for use with this
radio.
• 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” LED on top of the
radio is lit. You can cause the
radio to transmit by pressing
the “PTT” button.
• ALWAYS use Com-Net
Ericsson authorized
accessories (antennas,
batteries, belt clips,
speaker/mics, etc). Use of
unauthorized accessories
may cause the FCC
Occupational/ Controlled

requirements to be exceeded.
6
• ALWAYS keep the device and
its antenna at least 2.0 cm
(0.8 inch) away from the body
and 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 a distance of
1.3 cm from the body and 4.0
cm from the face for a worse
case scenario. 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.
The information listed above
provides the user with the
information needed to make him or
her aware of a RF exposure, and
what to do to assure that this radio
operates within the FCC RF
exposure limits of this radio.
7
Electromagnetic
Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, your Com-
Net Ericsson radio generates RF
energy that can possibly cause
interference with other devices or
systems. To avoid such
interference, turn off the radio in
areas where signs are posted to do
so. DO NOT operate the
transmitter in areas that are
sensitive to electromagnetic
radiation such as hospitals, aircraft,
and blasting sites.
8
SAFE PRACTICE
INFORMATION
The operator of any land mobile
radio should be aware of certain
hazards common to the operation
of radio transmitters. A list of
several possible hazards is
given:
1. Explosive Atmospheres -
Areas with potentially
explosive atmosphere are
often, but not always, clearly
marked. These may be fueling
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 your radio when
in any area with a
potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but
not impossible that the
radio or its accessories
could generate sparks.
9
2. Electronics Systems - RF
energy from your portable
radio may affect some
electronic equipment. Most
modern electronic equipment
in cars, hospitals, homes, etc.
are shielded from RF energy.
However, in areas that
instruct you to turn off two-
way radio equipment, always
observe the rules. If in
doubt, power the radio OFF.
3. Dynamite Blasting Caps -
Dynamite blasting caps may
be caused to explode by
operating a radio within 500
feet of the blasting caps.
Always obey the "Turn Off
Two-Way Radios" signs
posted where dynamite is
being used.
When transporting blasting
caps in your vehicle:
• Carry the blasting caps in
a closed metal box with a
soft lining.
• Leave the radio OFF
whenever the blasting
caps are being put into or
removed from the
vehicle.
4. Radio Frequency Energy -
Do not use a radio with a
10
damaged or missing antenna.
A minor burn may result if a
damaged antenna comes into
contact with the skin.
Replace a damaged antenna
immediately. A missing
antenna could damage your
radio. Use only the supplied
or approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments
could damage the radio unit
and may violate FCC
regulations.
Always turn off your portable
radio before boarding any
aircraft. Use it on the ground
only with crew permission.
Do not use it in the air.
5. Safe Driving
Recommendations -
(Recommended by AAA)
Read the literature on the safe
operation of the radio.
Keep both hands on the
steering wheel and the radio
secured whenever the vehicle
is in motion.
Place calls only when vehicle
is stopped.
11
• When talking from a
moving vehicle is
unavoidable, drive in the
slower lane. Keep
conversations brief.
• If a conversation requires
taking notes or complex
thought, stop the vehicle
in a safe place and
continue the call.
• Whenever using a radio,
exercise caution.
12
OPERATING RULES AND
REGULATIONS
Two-way FM radio systems must
be operated in accordance with the
rules and regulations of the local,
regional, or national government.
In the United States, the
PANTHER 300P portable radio
must be operated in accordance
with the rules and regulations of
the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC). As an operator
of two-way radio equipment, you
must be thoroughly familiar with the
rules that apply to your particular
type of radio operation. Following
these rules helps eliminate
confusion, assures the most
efficient use of the existing radio
channels, and results in a smoothly
functioning radio network. When
using your two-way radio,
remember these rules:
1. It is a violation of FCC rules to
interrupt any distress or
emergency message. As your
radio operates in much the
same way as a telephone
"party line", always listen to
make sure that the channel is
clear before transmitting.
Emergency calls have priority
over all other messages. If
someone is sending an
13
emergency message - such
as reporting a fire or asking
for help in an accident - KEEP
OFF THE AIR!
2. The use of profane or
obscene language is
prohibited by Federal law.
3. It is against the law to send
false call letters or false
distress or emergency
messages. The FCC requires
that you keep conversations
brief and confine them to
business. To save time, use
coded messages whenever
possible.
4. Using your radio to send
personal messages (except in
an emergency) is a violation
of FCC rules. You may send
only those messages that are
essential for the operation of
your business.
5. It is against Federal law to
repeat or otherwise make
known anything you overhear
on your radio. Conversations
between others sharing your
channel must be regarded as
confidential.
6. The FCC requires that you
identify yourself at certain
specific times by means of
your call letters. Refer to the
14
rules that apply to your
particular type of operation for
the proper procedure.
7. No changes or adjustments
shall be made to the
equipment except by an
authorized or certified
electronic technician.
Under U.S. law, operation of an
unlicensed radio transmitter
within the jurisdiction of the
United States may be
punishable by a fine of up to
$10,000, imprisonment for up to
two years, or both.
IMPORTANT
15
OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition is
important when operating a
portable radio. Operating the radio
in low areas or terrain, under power
lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle
or in a metal or steel framed
building can severely reduce the
range of the unit. Mountains and
buildings 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 use properly charged
batteries.
16
For efficient radio operation, hold
the front of the portable radio
approximately two 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 it when transmitting a
message.

BASIC OPERATION
Selecting A Channel
Rotate the Channel Knob
clockwise or counterclockwise until
the raised rib aligns with the
desired channel number.
Transmitting A Basic Call
1. Power ON the radio.
2. Select a channel.
3. Ensure there is no activity on
the channel by:
• checking the TX/RX
LED.
• pressing and holding the
Monitor/Clear button.
Squelch noise will be
heard if the channel is
clear of traffic.
4. Hold the radio approximately
2 inches from your mouth,
press the PTT button and
speak in the microphone.
NOTE
Speak in a normal
volume. Shouting will
degrade your
transmission.
5. Release the PTT button after
you have finished speaking.
26
Channel Guard
Channel Guard is a method of
reducing "channel chatter" by
equipping receivers with tone-
responsive devices, which only
allow calls with the correct sub-
audible tones to be heard by the
user. Channel Guard options and
parameters are defined in the radio
personality.
The radio can be programmed on a
per-channel basis to encode and/or
decode Channel Guard tones.
Squelch Tail Elimination (STE) can
be enabled or disabled on a
channel programmed with a
Channel Guard tone.
27
Channel Guard Monitor
Function
The radio can be programmed, on
a per-channel basis to transmit with
or without Channel Guard tones.
STE can optionally be enabled on
a per-channel basis.
Ensure there is no activity on the
channel by:
• checking the TX/RX LED.
• pressing and holding the
Monitor/Clear button.
Squelch noise will be heard if
the channel is clear of traffic.
Digital Channel Guard
Digital Channel Guard performs
similar to Channel Guard except
sub-audible codewords are
decoded and/or encoded. STE is
standard with Digital Channel
Guard operation.
28
SELECTIVE SIGNALING
Selective signaling controls the
muting and unmuting of the receive
audio. This allows a user or
dispatcher to selectively call an
individual radio or group of radios.
The PANTHER 300P portable radio
supports selective signaling in
Type 99 decode format.
In a selective signaling
environment, the PANTHER 300P
portable radio operates in one of
two states, Monitor mode or
Selective Call mode.
In the Monitor mode, the decoder is
disabled and all calls are heard by
the user.
In the Selective Call mode, the
decoder is enabled and only calls
intended for the user will be heard.
Selective signaling operates with or
without Channel Guard. If Channel
Guard is enabled, the radio can be
programmed with an "And" or an
"Or" option.
If the "And" option is programmed,
only calls with the correct selective
signaling AND correct Channel
Guard tones are heard by the user.
If the "Or" option is programmed,
calls with the correct Channel
Guard OR calls with the correct
29
selective signaling and Channel
Guard tones are heard by the user.
A radio operating in Selective Call
mode that receives a selective call
switches to the Monitor mode and
the TX/RX LED flashes green. The
TX/RX LED indicates whether the
channel has a carrier signal. The
following graphic depicts the
flashing pattern of the TX/RX LED.

Type 99 Operation
Type 99 is Com-Net Ericsson’s
proprietary method for in-band,
two-tone sequential signaling.
Type 99 is a conventional signaling
protocol that controls the muting
and unmuting of a radio. Type 99
encoded base stations, mobiles, or
portables can selectively call
individual units or groups of units in
a conventional system. Type 99 is
used in paging operations; a
dispatcher has the ability to
selectively call a radio or a group of
radios.
If Type 99 is enabled in the radio
personality, the radio can decode
30
Individual, Group and Supergroup
Type 99 calls. See Table 2 for
radio indicator information for each
of these types of calls.
Resetting Type 99 After A
Call
After decoding a Type 99 call, the
radio operates in Monitor mode
and all traffic on the channel is
audible. If the channel has
Channel Guard, only the traffic with
the radio's Channel Guard tone will
be heard.
To reset Type 99 operation, use
one of the following methods:
• Press the Monitor/Clear
button.
• Press the Option button, only
if Option button is
programmed with Type 99
ON/OFF function.
• Allow the "Auto-Reset" timer
to reset the Type 99 decoder
(only if the "Auto-Reset" timer
is enabled in the radio
personality).
31
PROGRAMMABLE PTT
FUNCTIONS
Channel Busy Lockout
The radio may be programmed
with the Channel Busy Lockout
feature, which denies the use of
the transmitter when the channel is
busy with traffic.
If the PTT button is pressed while
the TX/RX LED is ON, the radio
will emit an alert tone until the PTT
is released.
Channel Guard Channel
Busy Lockout
The radio may be programmed
with the Channel Guard Busy
Lockout feature, which denies the
use of the transmitter when the
channel is busy with another
Channel Guard tone. The radio will
transmit when the channel is busy
with the radio's Channel Guard
tone.
If the PTT button is pressed while
the TX/RX LED is ON and the
radio is muted because of an
incorrect Channel Guard tone, the
radio will emit an alert tone until the
PTT is released.
32
Type 99 Disable After PTT
The radio may be programmed
with the Type 99 Disable After PTT
feature, which automatically
disables the Type 99 decoder after
a transmission.
Use one of the methods outlined in
the “Resetting Type 99 After A
Call” section to reset Type 99
operation.
33
CLONING
CopyCat Technology, a cloning
feature, allows supervisor radios to
duplicate radio personalities into
subordinate radios on-site without
a technician or PC. For more
information about the CopyCat
Technology and configuration refer
to the Panther 300 Series
Maintenance manuals, the On-Line
Help in ProGrammer, or contact
your system administrator.
34
BATTERY OPERATION
Removing The Battery
Make sure the power to the radio is
turned OFF.
1. Press the latch at the bottom
of the battery pack.
2. Lift the battery pack from the
bottom.
3. Remove the battery pack from
the radio.
35
Attaching The Battery
Make sure the power to the radio is
turned OFF.
1. Align the tab on the top of the
battery pack with the slot at
the top of the battery cavity.
2. Push the battery pack down to
attach the battery to the radio.
The user should hear a “click”
when the battery pack is
securely attached.
3. Verify the battery is securely
latched to the radio.
36
Low Battery Detection And
Operation
The PANTHER 300P portable radio
constantly monitors the charge-
state of the battery. The radio will
emit a Low Battery Alert Tone
when the battery capacity is low
and the TX/RX LED will flash red.
When this occurs, recharge the
battery.
The radio can be programmed to
emit only one Low Battery Alert
Tone or emit one Low Battery Alert
Tone every 60 seconds.
The PANTHER 300P portable radio
also monitors the battery voltage
while transmitting. If the battery
level drops below a set level, the
radio will stop transmitting, the
TX/RX LED will flash red, and will
emit an alert tone until the PTT
switch is released.
The PANTHER 300P portable radio
is not capable of turning itself off
when the battery level falls below
that required for the radio to
operate. It is possible to
excessively discharge the battery,
which will reduce battery capacity
and battery life.
37
Recharging The Battery
Recharge the battery when the
radio TX/RX LED exhibits a Low
Battery indicator. When charging a
battery pack that is attached to a
radio, always turn the power to the
radio OFF to ensure a full charge.
For specific instructions, refer to
the applicable charger Operator's
Manual. Charging in non-Com-Net
Ericsson equipment may lead to
battery damage and void the
battery warranty.
38
Conditioning The Battery
Batteries that have been stored
(charged or discharged) will
generally not be capable of full
capacity until the batteries have
been fully cycled two or three
times. (Charging the battery in a
Com-Net Ericsson charger and
then discharging the battery pack
with the radio until low battery is
indicated is considered one cycle.)
Battery Care &
Maintenance
• Your charger is intended for
indoor use only. Keep the
charger and/or wall cube dry.
Do Not use in or near water.
• Never let the battery contacts
touch metal objects that could
short-circuit the contacts. For
example, keys or coins in your
pocket.
• Do Not disassemble a
battery.
• Do Not dispose of a battery in
a fire.
• Use only the supplied or Com-
Net Ericsson specified
batteries and chargers.
39
• When the radio is not in use,
turn the power to the radio
OFF. Do not over discharge
the battery. This will reduce
battery capacity and battery
life.
• Do not overcharge the
battery. A battery should not
be kept in a charger for over
24 hours. Overcharging
batteries will reduce battery
capacity and battery life.
• Periodically condition your
battery for improved battery
capacity and performance.
