5 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The M/A-COM P7100IP 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 P7100IP 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: Options and Accessories) • 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.

6 • Always transmit using low power (refer to High/Low Power Adjustment section) when possible. 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: Options and Accessories.) • 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. Table 1: RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) RADIO FREQUENCY Body Face 800 MHz 1.1 cm 2.5 cm VHF (136-174 MHz) 1.1 cm 2.5 cm UHF-H (450-512 MHz) 1.1 cm 2.5 cm UHF-L (378-430 MHz) 1.1 cm 2.5 cm The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio.

8 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.

9 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: Options and Accessories.) 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 atmosphere 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.

12 INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to use the P7100IP series portable radio. The P7100IP series radios are synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance portable FM radios providing reliable two-way communications in both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications Systems (EDACS®) trunking environment and conventional communications systems. In EDACS (trunked) mode, the user selects a communications system and group. In this 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 the conventional 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 the particular features programmed into the P7100IP. For further detail about features and operation refer to the appropriate maintenance manual or contact the system administrator. WATER RESISTANCE The P7100IP series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet MIL-STD-810F specifications for driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.

17 Figure 4: Scan Model 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 P7150IP Scan model and 15 buttons on the P7170IP System Radio. Buttons and Knobs This section describes the primary function of the button and knob controls. Other functions associated with these controls are detailed in later sections.

18 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 prevent 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 group/channels (depending on programming). 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 the pre-programmed Group/System by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. It can also be used to declare an emergency by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button must be pre-programmed for either operation, but not both. PTT BUTTON Push-To-Talk must be pressed before voice transmission begins. In trunked mode the radio’s ID is transmitted upon depression of the PTT button. (Refer to Figure 2 for location.) CLEAR/MONITOR BUTTON In trunked mode: Exits the current operation (removing all displays associated with it) and returns the radio to the selected talk group. Terminates individual and telephone interconnect calls. In conventional mode: Unsquelch the receiver and allows channel monitoring prior to transmission. Momentarily removes the Channel Guard decoding from the channel. OPTION BUTTON Activates one of a number of programmable software options selected during PC programming.

34 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 13: System Encryption Key Display

36 Group/Channel Encryption Key Figure 14: 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.

38 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 Scan Model 1. Scan must be OFF to add/delete groups to/from the scan list. If the Scan icon is ON, press the  key to turn Scan OFF. 2. Select the desired group using the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob and/or the  or  keys. If the selected group is currently on the list, pressing  will display on line three. 3. If the scan list status icon is blank ( ), the group can be added to the scan list by pressing the  key. will be displayed on line three.

39 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-programmed into the radio. A new Priority 1 group cannot be selected. FIXD LST A fixed scan list has been pre-programmed into the radio. It is not possible to change the list without reprogramming the radio. NOTE To quickly view multiple group scan status, press  then slowly but consistently rotate the group knob. Each group status will appear on the display. System Model 1. With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group to add to the selected trunked system group scan list. 2. Press . The current priority status of the group will be displayed in column 10 of line three for a time-out period. If the group is not part of the scan list the status will be blank. 3. While the status is displayed, press  to add the group to the scan list. is displayed on line three. 4. Press  a second time to set the group to Priority 2. A is displayed on line three.

40 Press  a third time to set the group to Priority 1. A is displayed on line three. The priority level selection sequence only advances the group to next 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-programmed into the radio. A new Priority 1 group cannot be selected. FIXD LST A fixed scan list has been pre-programmed into the radio. It is not possible to change the list without reprogramming the radio. NOTE To quickly view multiple group scan status, press either  or the  key. Then slowly but consistently rotate the group knob. Each group status will appear on the display. Deleting Groups from a Scan List Scan Model 1. With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group to delete from the selected trunked system group scan list. 2. Press . The current status of the group is displayed for a time-out period. While the current status is displayed, press . until the group from the scan list is "blank". The sequence is "blank", , , ,"blank". 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. System Model 1. With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group to delete from the selected trunked system's group scan list. 2. Press . The current status of the group is displayed for a time-out period.

41 While the status is displayed, press to delete the group from the scan list. , ,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 P7100IP 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. Figure 15: Calls Received Lists To access this list, press the  key twice. Use the  or  buttons  or  buttons to scroll through the list. Pressing the  key will display the time elapsed since the call was received. After pressing  an example of the display is as follows: Figure 16: WHC Individual Call Display Pressing PTT will initiate an individual call to the displayed logical ID. Powering the radio OFF and ON will clear this list.

Press and hold the PTT button to transmit. will turn ON, will turn OFF, and the channel access tone will sound. Line one shows the called individual's ID followed by the logical ID number of the unit being called. The message *INDV* displays on line two. Proceed talking into the microphone.

46 Call Storage Lists There are two lists available for call storage in the P7100IP series radios, the calls received list (1 - 10) and the personality list (1 - 99 as defined by the user). When the individual call mode is entered by pressing , the calls received list is available. The user can toggle to the personality list by selecting any index other than 0 or toggle between the two lists by pressing the  key. If wrap is enabled, the calls received list wraps on itself and not into the other list. Figure 17: Calls Received and Personality Lists The saved call list shows all ten storage locations. If no calls have been received, the saved call list will be empty and the pre-stored list will be available upon entering the individual call mode. When in the saved call list, pressing the  key toggles the time stamp ON and OFF. The time stamp indicates how long ago the call was received. When in the pre-stored list pressing the  key toggles the Logical IDentification (LID) ON and OFF. TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS Receiving a Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) When the radio receives a telephone interconnect call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the assigned working channel and displays . The first line displays *PHONE*. The second line displays *INDV*. Proceed with the call. Press PTT to talk, release PTT to listen.

47 Sending a Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) Pre-Stored Number Use the following procedures to initiate and complete a Telephone Interconnect call: 1. System Model: To select a previously stored phone number, press . Use the or  keys to scroll through the list of stored numbers. Scan Model: To select a previously stored phone number, press . Use the or  keys to select the menu option PHN CALL. Press the  key again then use the  or  keys to scroll through the list of pre-stored numbers. 2. Press and release the PTT button. When the radio is clear to transmit, turns ON, turns OFF and the channel access tone sounds. Line one shows the accompanying name selected from the list of stored numbers. The message *PHONE* displays on line two. The radio then automatically transmits the programmed number stored in the special call queue. 3. A telephone ring will be heard from the speaker. When someone answers the phone, press the PTT button and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to the callee. Unsuccessful interconnect signaling returns the radio to the normal receive mode and the number remains displayed until the special call is cleared or the time-out expires or another group or system is selected. Terminate a call by pressing the CLEAR/MONITOR button. NOTE In half-duplex mode, only one person may talk at a time. The radio PTT button needs to be pressed in order to communicate to the individual called and released for the individual called to be heard. Direct Dialing of Phone Calls (System Mode Only) 1. If the phone number is not stored in the pre-stored list of phone numbers, but the phone number is known, it can be entered directly from the keypad. Start by pressing the . Then enter the required number from the keypad. NOTE The last number directly entered can be recalled by first pressing  then pressing the PTT button.

48 2. If the phone number is not stored in the pre-stored list of phone numbers, but the phone number is known, it can be entered directly from the keypad. Start by pressing the . Then enter the required number from the keypad. 3. A telephone ring can be heard from the speaker. When someone answers the phone, press the PTT button and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to the individual called. Unsuccessful interconnect signaling returns the radio to the normal receive mode and the number remains displayed until the special call is cleared or the time-out expires or another group or system is selected. NOTE In half-duplex mode, only one person may talk at a time. The radio PTT button needs to be pressed in order to communicate to the individual called and released for the individual called to be heard. 4. To terminate the call, momentarily press the CLEAR/MONITOR button. 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: Scan Model 1. Follow the procedure in Sending A Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) to establish a connection to the telephone system or consult the system administrator for the procedure to access a dial tone on the trunked or conventional system. 2. Overdial numbers are transmitted by entering the phone mode using the  button.

49 Press  to enter the overdial select/entry mode and follow the selection mode rules to call up a stored number from the phone list. is displayed. Press PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the number needs to be transmitted again it must be selected or entered again (this prevents unwanted numbers from being sent the next time the PTT button is pressed during the call). This overdial select/entry mode remains active until the call is dropped, cleared, or  is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing . System Model 1. Follow the procedure in Sending A Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) to establish a connection to the telephone system or consult the system administrator for the procedure to access a dial tone on the trunked or conventional system. 2. Overdial numbers are transmitted using either method as follows: This overdial select/entry mode remains active until dropped, cleared, or  is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing . PROGRAMMABLE ENTRIES Pre-Storing Individual and Telephone Interconnect Calls from the Keypad (System Mode Only) Individual Call ID numbers, telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing are stored in the special calls lists when programming the radio. The first ten entry locations of these lists can be changed by the radio operator. The keypad is used when adding, changing, and storing numbers in these entry locations. Use the following procedure to store a number in one of the first ten entries of a special call list: 1. Press  or  to enter the individual call list or the phone call list. is displayed. 2. Scroll through the list using the  or  until one of the first ten entries is reached. NO ENTRY is displayed if the location is empty. 3. Enter the desired number. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and holding 0-9, , or  until an underscore appears in the display (telephone interconnect only). The individual call list entries will accept up to 5 digits. The phone call list entries accept a combination of up to 31 digits and pauses.

50 4. Press and hold  until the display changes indicating that the number has been stored. Repeat steps 1-4 above if the number stored in an entry location needs to be changed. 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.

51 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 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 P7100IP 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, selection of 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

52 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). Displays The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation: TX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call. RX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is receiving a data call. DATA OFF Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state. DATA ON Appears for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the data enabled state. Data Off Operation The radio can be placed in the data disabled state by any of the following methods. When the data state is disabled, DATA OFF appears on the top line of the display. • Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone will sound. • Pressing the OPTION button (if pre-programmed for “no data” key). Alert tone will sound. • Pressing the “no data” (ND) key (pre-programmed). Data On Operation The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled). DATA ON will appear on the top line in the display for two seconds then the display will return to normal. • Pressing the “no data” (ND) key toggles data state ON or OFF. • Clearing an emergency. (Valid only if the emergency caused “Data OFF” operation.)

53 Exiting Data Cells Under normal conditions, the radio enters the scan lockout mode and returns to the control channel after completion of a data call (transmit or receive). If, during a data call, one of the following conditions occurs, the data call is immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function: • PTT is activated. • Emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button. • A group or system is changed. Scan Lockout Mode Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, scanning will stop temporarily (two independent pre-programmed times; after a receive data call and after a transmit data call). During this time the scan indicator will flash to indicate that scan is enabled but temporarily suspended. This mode is normally exited when the pre-programmed time expires; however, the following actions will terminate the scan lockout mode before the timeout is completed: • The CLEAR button is pressed. The PTT is pressed. • The group or system is changed. • Phone call mode is entered. • Individual call mode is entered. • A new emergency assignment has been received. • An emergency is declared or cleared. • An individual or phone call is received. • An Agency, Fleet or System All Call is received. •  or  is pressed to toggle Scan ON or OFF. Data Lockout Mode During the voice call scan hang time (pre-programmed) the radio will not receive data calls.
