6 2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION 2.1 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS, CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines. NOTE This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. CAUTION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-COM, Inc. could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits. http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html 2.1.1 Federal Communications Commission Regulations Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios before it can be marketed in the United States. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user

7 awareness information. Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP two-way radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, your M7100IP Installation and Operator’s Manuals include information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements. 2.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS Your M/A-COM, Inc.

9 3 OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS WARNING The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given: • Explosive Atmospheres – Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, similar hazards exist when operating a mobile radio. Be sure to turn the radio off while fueling a vehicle. Do not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk. Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. 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. • Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems – Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical electronic systems that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer and enlist their aid in determining the expected performance of electronic circuits when the radio is transmitting. • Electric Blasting Caps – 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) • Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles – Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58 requiring:  The LP gas container and its fittings.  Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.  The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle. 3.2 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 microphone in its hanger whenever the vehicle is in motion. • Place calls only when the vehicle is stopped. • 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 mobile radio, exercise caution.

10 4 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 M7100IP Series mobile 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: • 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 emergency message – such as reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident – KEEP OFF THE AIR! • The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law. • 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. • 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. • 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. • The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific times by means of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your particular type of operation for the proper procedure. • No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified electronics technician. NOTE 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 (2) years, or both. 4.1 OPERATING TIPS The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radios and should be avoided whenever possible: • Operating the radio in areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or bridges. • Obstructions such as mountains and buildings. • In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement can be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation.

11 5 INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to use the M7100IP Series Mobile Radio. The M7100IP is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance mobile FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS®) trunking environment and conventional communication systems. In the EDACS or trunked system 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 directly communicates 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 or disabled through programming. Consult the system administrator for the particular features that are programmed into the M7100IP.

12 6 USER INTERFACE The M7100IP operating controls are located on the radio's front panel (see Figure 6-1and Figure 6-2). A keypad, vacuum florescent display for radio status information and a microphone jack are on the front panel. The front panel also provides a rotary SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control, a ramp up/ramp down control, Scan add/delete control, and a SCAN ON-OFF control for scan operation. The keypad is used for manual number entry for individual calls, access to a telephone interconnect system and activation of various EDACS or conventional features such as menu selection. Each key has an associated LED for status indication. The display has two lines with eight alphanumeric-characters used to show the operational mode of the radio. There is one LED for indicating transmitter ON and one LED to indicate CHANNEL BUSY located below the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME Control.

13 7 CONTROLS This section describes the buttons, keys and rotary knobs used to control the M7100IP Series Mobile Scan and System Model radios. All functions and controls of the Scan radio operate the same as the corresponding functions and controls on the System radio. The Scan radio is equipped with a 4-button keypad and the System radio is equipped with a 16-button keypad. Many of the control buttons and keys have or can be programmed to have a primary function and a secondary function. The SCAN button can be programmed (as a secondary function) to toggle the keypad keys between their primary function and their secondary function. 7.1 POWER ON-OFF VOLUME KNOB This rotary knob applies power to the radio and adjusts the receiver volume. Rotating the control clockwise out of detent applies power to the radio. A single alert tone sounds (if enabled through programming) to indicate the radio is operational. Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. Minimum volume levels can be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low volume setting. While adjusting the volume, the display will briefly indicate the volume level (i.e. VOL = 31). The volume range is from a minimum level of zero (displayed as OFF in the display) up to 31, which is the loudest level. 7.2 SYSTEM/GROUP CHANNEL KNOB This rotary switch selects the systems or groups/channels, depending upon programming.This 16-position rotary switch has no stop or detent. See SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION section for more details. 7.3 RAMP CONTROL The primary function of this rocker type button is to scroll through the System list or the Group/Channel list depending upon programming. The secondary function is to increment or decrement items within a list (phone list for example). Press ,to scroll in increasing order and press . to scroll in decreasing order. To auto-ramp, press and hold the button. 7.4 SCAN ON/OFF The primary function of this button is to toggle scan operation ON and OFF. When the radio is scanning, the SCAN LED is on and all groups or channels in the scan list of the currently selected systems are scanned. The secondary function of the SCAN button is to toggle the keypad buttons between their primary function and their secondary function.

14 7.5 SCAN ADD/DELETE This rocker type button is used to display the current SCAN status for agroup/channel and then either add or delete the group/channel from the system scan list. 7.6 INDICATORS Transmitter enabled - ON when the radio is transmitting. BuSY - On indicates a carrier is being received (the channel is busy). Note that if the selected channel is programmed for Channel Guard (CG), Digital Channel Guard (DCG) or Type 99 (T99) tone decode operation, the radio will not un-squelch if a valid tone or code is not received; the BSY indicator will be on. Figure 7-1: M7100IP System Model Keypad Figure 7-2: M7100IP Scan Model Keypad 7.7 KEYPAD The keypad is similar to a telephone keypad but with four (4) additional buttons on the side for a total of 16 keys. In addition to numbers (1-9, *, 0 and #), which is a secondary function, most of the keys have or can be programmed to have a primary function. A symbol or abbreviated word describing its primary function is labeled on the keycap. Each labeled keycap is associated with a radio feature (or primary function). The radio must be programmed to operate with the Standard or the Optional keycap configuration.

15 A keylight (LED) is associated with each key or button. This can light when the associated function is active. In some conditions, the keylight can blink to indicate an action status. The keypad key functions can be remapped to any of the primary function keys using the PC programming software. It is suggested that the blank keypad (located at the back of this manual) be completed if the keypad key functions are changed. 7.7.1 Standard Keycap Configuration The Standard keycap package for the System radio includes five (5) labeled keycaps (MODE, HOME, CHN, AUX1 and AUX2) and six (6) blank keycaps, which can be placed on any of the five key locations (numbers 3-6 and 9) shown in Figure 7-3. The keycap represents the primary function programmed for that key location. See Secion 7.7.3 for a description of the primary function associated with these five (5) keycaps. The standard keycap package for the Scan radio includes five (5) labeled keycaps [MENU, CLEAR, SELECT, EMERGENCY E or “E,” and OPTION] and five (5) blank keycaps, which can be placed on any of the four (4) keypad keys. The keycap represents the primary function programmed for that key location. Figure 7-3: Standard M7100IP Keycaps Configuration 7.7.2 Optional Keycap Configuration The optional keycap package for the System radio includes sixty (60) additional keycaps (shown in Section 7.7.3), which can be placed on any key location desired.

22 9 ALERT TONES The M7100IP Series mobile radio also provides audible alert tones or "beeps" to indicate the various operating conditions. These alert tones can be enabled or disabled through programming. 9.1 CALL ORIGINATE A short mid-pitched alert tone sounds after keying the radio (Push-To-Talk button is pressed). This tone indicates the radio has been assigned a working channel or that the radio is transmitting on a conventional channel and voice communication can begin immediately. In conventional mode, this tone may be delayed after the PTT button is pressed due to G-STAR™ signaling (if enabled through programming). 9.2 AUTOKEY (TRUNKED MODE ONLY) After being placed in a queue or releasing the PTT button prior to a working channel assignment, the site calls the radio when a channel becomes available. At this point, the radio automatically keys the transmitter (autokey) for a short period to hold the channel. The radio sounds a mid-pitched tone when it is clear to talk. Immediately press the PTT button to keep the assigned channel. 9.3 CALL QUEUED (TRUNKED MODE ONLY) A high-pitched tone after pressing the PTT button indicates the system has placed the call request in the queue. The receiving unit(s) also hear(s) the tones to indicate they will receive a call shortly. If the PTT button is released, the radio will autokey whenever a channel becomes available (see Autokey). 9.4 SYSTEM BUSY (TRUNKED MODE ONLY) Three low-pitched beeps will be heard if the radio is keyed when the system is busy, if no channels are available for sending the message, if the call queue is full, or if an individual call is being attempted to a radio that is transmitting. Releasing the PTT button and re-keying initiates a new channel request. 9.5 CALL DENIED (TRUNKED MODE ONLY) If the radio is keyed and a low-pitched tone is heard, the radio is not authorized on the system that has been selected. 9.6 CARRIER CONTROL TIMER If the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded, the radio will issue five short high-pitched warning tones followed by a long low-pitched tone. The transmitter will shut down shortly after the alert, interrupting communications. Release and re-key the PTT button to maintain communications. This will reset the carrier control timer and turn the transmitter back on. 9.7 KEY PRESS ALERT A short tone or "beep" will sound to indicate a key has been pressed. A short low-pitched tone indicates no action was taken because the key is not active in the current mode. 9.8 DUAL CONTROL SWITCHING When control is switched to a previously idle control unit, two short high-pitched tones will sound at the control unit where the PTT was pressed (now the active controller).

23 10 OPERATION The M7100IP Series mobile radio unit can be programmed to operate in a trunked system, a conventional system, a Project 25 (P25) conventional system, or any combination of the three. Operating features and functions have been grouped according to the type of system the radio is operating in. This section contains general operating procedures (e.g., Turning the Radio On). Section 11, TRUNKED MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a trunked system (e.g., Group Scan). Section 12, CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a conventional system (e.g., Squelch Adjust). Section 13, PROJECT 25 (P25) CONVENTIONAL OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a P25 conventional system. Section 14, TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that can be used in either a trunked or a conventional system (e.g., Multiple Radio Operation). 10.1 TURNING THE RADIO ON Rotate the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise, out of detent to turn the radio on. A short beep (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready for operation. The display indicates, if programmed, the last selected system name on line 1 and the last selected group or channel name on line 2. In the EDACS trunked environment, if communication with the system's control channel cannot be established, the CC SCAN message will be displayed. This can occur if, for example, the radio is out of range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another location or select another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked mode operations. 10.2 SELECTION MODE RULES Many operations require selection from a list such as system, group or phone number. This selection process is handled in the same manner for all lists. The RAMP controls, , and ., SEL, 0-9, *, #, the DEL button, and the c button are used during the selection process. The following example systems list is used to explain the process: NOTE The hookswitch functions the same as the c key in I-Call, phone call, and menu modes. SYSTEM 1 NORTH 2 SOUTH 3 EAST 4 WEST After entering a selection mode, the following generic display format will appear: X X X X X X X XY Y Y = Z Z Z Line 1 shows the currently selected item name (XXXXXXXX) from the list. Line 2 indicates the list (YYY) that the selection is to be made from and the number of the selected item (ZZZ) within the list. (In some cases the information on lines 1 and 2 will be exchanged.) Enter the system selection mode by pressing the S key. If SYSTEM 2 is the current selection, the display appears as follows:

24 S O U T H S Y S = 2 Line 1 contains the current system name, SOUTH; and line 2, SYS = 2, indicates that selection is from the system list and it is the second system within the list. A new system from the list is selected by using the RAMP control, , or ., or by directly entering the system number with the numeric keys. The RAMP controls, , or ., scroll through the list in increasing and decreasing order. In the previous example, pressing the RAMP control , selects the EAST system as shown in the next display. E A S T S Y S = 3 The radio can be programmed to wrap around from one end of a list to the other end or to stop at the ends. 10.3 DIRECT ACCESS To directly access a selection, enter the corresponding number (e.g. 4) followed by SEL to activate the selection. The entered number is displayed on line 2 as shown below. Line 1 shows the current list being used for selection. S E L S Y S 4 If a mistake is made while entering the number, press the DEL button to backspace once and correct the entry. If an invalid number is entered, a short low-pitched tone sounds when SEL is pressed. To exit the selection mode, press the c button or wait for the time-out. If the selection mode is cleared while an entry is pending (i.e., numbers are entered on line 2, but SEL has not been pressed), the entry on line 2 will be disregarded and the previous selection will remain active. If the time-out activates while an entry is pending, the entry on line 2 will be selected if it is within the valid range; if it is out of range, the entry on line 2 will be disregarded and the previous selection will remain active. NOTE While in system, group or channel selection mode, the radio continues to receive calls normally and continues scanning, if it is enabled. If a call is received during the selection mode process the radio will return to the normal receive mode display. Continuing with the selection process will return the display to the same point in the selection process if the selection mode time out has not yet expired. Any press of the PTT button during the selection mode process will initiate transmission and exit the selection mode. 10.4 MENU The menu function accesses features that are not available directly from the keypad. The order and specific number of menu items available is configurable through programming. Upon radio power up, the menu item at the beginning of the menu list will always be displayed first. Subsequent access to the menu function will return the last menu item that was shown in the display. To enter the menu mode, press m. The RAMP controls, , and ., the SEL and the c buttons are used during the selection process. All of the selection mode rules previously detailed apply to the menu item selection process with the exception of direct access. The radio will continue to receive and transmit normally while in the menu function.

25 A new item is displayed by using the RAMP controls, , and ., to scroll through the list in increasing and decreasing order. The displayed menu item is made active by pressing SEL. After entering the menu selection mode, the following generic display format will appear. M E N U Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Line 1 indicates the radio is in the menu selection mode. Line 2 indicates the menu item (YYYYYYYY) that is to be viewed or changed (some menu items provide radio information and do not have changeable parameters). An example of the menu item selection process and menu item parameter change is detailed below for the backlight menu item. PRESS: m The menu mode is entered. PRESS: The RAMP controls, , or ., until the display shows: M E N U B C K L G H T PRESS: SEL The backlight menu item is activated and the display will be similar to the following: B C K = X X X Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Line 1 shows the active menu item and its current parameter setting (XXX). Line 2 shows the currently selected system or group name (YYYYYYYY). The menu item's parameter setting shown in the display can now be changed by using the RAMP controls, , and ., to scroll through the list of parameter values. Once the desired setting is reached press SEL to store the value and return to the normal display. For menu items that display radio information, pressing , and . will scroll through a list of informational displays. The menu items are listed in Table 10-1.

28 10.5 FEATURE ENCRYPTION DISPLAY Feature Encryption Display is available through the menu function and, if programmed, appears in the menu as "FEATURES." This data indicates current features programmed into the radio as well as information required to add features to the radio. This feature applies to 512K RAM radios only. Once the feature has been accessed, all normal menu functions work. The user can scroll up or down through all of the entries. Feature Encryption Display provides the ability to view, in the order displayed, the following: • Serial number ROM data - serial number of the ROM • Feature encryption data stream - used to enable features • Number Fields - defines limits • Features enabled - displays bit fields of enabled features 10.5.1 Serial Number ROM (12 Hex Digits) Example: When the user wants to enable a feature in his radio, he will need to call M/A-COM, Inc. They will ask for the ROM serial number. The serial number shown here is for example only. 10.5.2 Feature Encryption Data Stream Example: These data streams define the features the user has enabled in his radio and are required by M/A-COM, Inc. to enable other features. The data streams shown here are for example only. Note: There are three displays: FD1, FD2, FD3. All three are required. Number Fields Example: These number fields show the set limits of the of the user's radio as: • SG# XXX - Maximum number of system/groups combination available • SY# XXX - EDACS maximum trunked system limit

30 The M7100IP SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob and the RAMP controls, , and ., are programmable for maximum flexibility. If the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select groups, then the RAMP controls, , and ., are assigned to select systems. If the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select systems, then the RAMP controls, , and ., are assigned to select groups. System, group, and channel selection is the primary function for these controls. Either systems or groups can also be selected by entering the select mode and following the selection mode rules described earlier. The system select or group select modes are entered by pressing S or g, respectively, from the standard receive mode. Using the RAMP controls, , or ., after entering a particular selection mode in this manner is the secondary function of these keys. 10.6.1 System Selection Several methods, some of which depend on programming, can be used to select a new system. These procedures are presumed to be starting from the normal receive display. METHOD 1 If system selection is programmed to the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a system by turning the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired system position. The display registers the new system name on line 1. If the wrap option is OFF and the knob is moved to a position greater than the number of programmed systems, the highest programmed system will remain selected. METHOD 2 If system selection is programmed as the primary function of the RAMP control , and ., select a system by pressing , or .to scroll through the system list. The display registers the new system name on line 1. METHOD 3 Press S to enter the system select mode and follow the selection mode rules detailed earlier. Press the RAMP controls, , or ., to scroll through the systems. 10.6.2 Group and Channel Selection Several methods, some of which depend on programming, can be used to select a new group or channel. These procedures assume starting from the normal receive display. METHOD 1 If group selection is programmed to the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a group by turning the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired group. The display registers the new group name on line 2. If the wrap option is OFF and the knob is moved to a position greater than the number of programmed groups, the highest programmed group will remain selected. METHOD 2 If group selection is programmed as the primary function of the RAMP controls, , and ., select a group by pressing , or ., to scroll through the group list. The display registers the new group name on line 2. METHOD 3 Press g to enter the group select mode and follow the selection mode rules detailed earlier. Pressing the RAMP controls will now scroll through different groups.

31 11 TRUNKED MODE OPERATION Digital trunking provides fast communication access at all times, even during busy hours. In this mode, the operator selects a communications system and group and the audio communication or working channel (WC) is allocated through digital signaling with the site. 11.1 RECEIVING A CALL 1. Turn the radio on by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise (out of detent). A short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use. 2. The display shows the last selected or the power up (depending on programming) system and group names. If the radio is unable to obtain a control channel, line 2 shows CC SCAN. 3. Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level. 4. Select the desired system and group. The display indicates the current system and group names. 5. The radio is now ready to receive calls. 6. When the radio receives a group call, it unmutes on the assigned working channel and the BSY indicator comes on. Line 1 shows GR followed by the logical ID number (if received) of the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. 11.2 SENDING A CALL 1. Turn the radio on and set the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level. Select the desired system and group. 2. Press and hold the PTT button. The radio will display the system and group names and perform the necessary signaling required to obtain a communication channel. 3. When the working channel is assigned, TX and BSY indicators are turned ON and a short beep is sounded indicating communication can begin. NOTE If two or more tones, or a high-pitched tone is heard, the system may be busy and the call request has been placed in queue or the request has been denied for some reason. Refer to the Section 9 for more details. 4. Hold the microphone approximately three inches from the mouth and speak in a normal voice. 5. Release the PTT button when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 11.3 CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS system, communications can take place in conventional failsoft mode. The radio will be automatically directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose. During this mode of operation, the control unit will display CONV FS in the alphanumeric display. An increase in activity on the channel during conventional failsoft operation may be noticed, so be careful not to transmit until the channel is clear. Operation during conventional failsoft will be the same as operation on a conventional system, except that it will not be possible to select a communications channel, or use emergency and special call. When trunking is restored, the radio will automatically be returned to normal operation.

32 NOTE Emergency and Special Call are not operational during conventional failsoft. In addition, the g control will not operate. 11.4 EMERGENCY OPERATION The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency 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 will restart only after the emergency has been cleared. 11.4.1 Receiving an Emergency Call When receiving an emergency call from the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and the BSY indicator lights. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line 2 until the emergency condition is cleared. Follow standard emergency procedures. 11.4.2 Declaring an Emergency To send an emergency call to the selected system and group (or on an optionally pre-programmed emergency group), proceed as follows: 1. Press and hold the red E or “E” emergency button 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 (Autokey alert tone) indicating it is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line 2 in the display until the emergency is cleared. 3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. 4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 5. The emergency can be cleared by pressing and holding the c button followed by pressing the E or “E” emergency button then releasing both buttons. 11.5 SYSTEM SCAN OPERATION The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled upon radio power up. 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 at power up. 11.5.1 Wide Area System Scan The M7100IP Series mobile radio can be programmed for wide area system scan operation for multi-site applications. 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.

33 11.5.2 ProScan The radio can be programmed for ProScan™ system scan operation for multi-site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. 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 compare it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacency 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’s signal quality level degrades below 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 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. 11.5.3 Priority System Scan The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. (To ensure that this feature operates correctly, the control channel of the priority system must be located on channel one unless you are using the ProScan algorithm.) 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 at a programmable rate. The programmable rate is defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control, (unless the ProSound/ProScan algorithm is enabled as explained below). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed or when a call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, or meets the predefined ProScan criteria, the radio will automatically switch to the priority system. 11.5.4 When Wide Area System Scan Is Enabled If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins Wide Area System Scan (WA Scan), the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the WA Scan list. 11.5.5 When ProScan Is Enabled The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the priority system meets the criteria defined in the “ProSound/ProScan Options” dialog box. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control. 11.5.6 Menu Selection Press M and then use the RAMP controls, , and ., to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press M to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. 11.5.7 Pre-Programmed Keypad Key Press the pre-programmed key and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

34 11.6 GROUP SCAN OPERATION Only Groups that are part of the radio's scan list will be scanned. Groups are added to the scan list on a per system basis through programming, the radio keypad, or both, dependent upon programming. This scan list can be changed by the user from the keypad unless programmed otherwise. Each system's group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off. The M7100IP Series mobile radio can also be programmed to provide Trunked Priority Group Scan capability, which operates similar to priority scan in Conventional mode. The following is a description of programmable scan features that should be helpful in understanding the Group Scan Operation of the radio: Scan Hang Time - the delay time the radio waits before resuming scan after the push-to-talk is released or after the carrier has dropped a channel. TX Select - the group the radio will transmit on while scanning. The radio is programmed to transmit on either the scanned group or the selected group. Scan List (privileges) - this feature allows or prohibits scan list changes by the user. P1 Programming - priority group programming is accomplished by one (and only one) of three methods: • From the keypad, where the Priority programming is not fixed and does not follow the selected channel, • Priority 1 group programming follows the selected channel, or • Priority 1 group programming is fixed during PC programming and cannot be changed by the user. P1 Always Scan - determines if the Priority 1 Group will always be scanned, regardless of the scan state set by the user. 11.6.1 Adding Groups to a Scan List 1. With scan operation turned off, select the desired group to add to the selected Trunked system group scan list. 2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current priority status of the group will be displayed in column 1 of line 1 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. "S" is displayed in column 1, line 1. 4. Press < a second time to set the group to Priority 2. A "2" is displayed in column 1, line 1. 5. Press < a third time to set the group to Priority 1. A "1" is displayed in column 1, line 1. 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. 11.6.2 Deleting Groups from a Scan List 1. With scan operation turned off, select the desired group to delete from the selected trunked system's group scan list.

35 2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current status of the group is displayed for a time-out period. 3. Press > to delete the group from the scan list. "S", "2" or "1" turns off. Any group that is not in a trunked system group scan list will show a "blank" for the time period when it is the selected channel. 11.6.3 Nuisance Delete A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing > 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 performed in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is turned off and then back on. 11.6.4 Turning Scan On 1. Toggle scan operation by pressing k. The SCAN indicator will turn on when the radio is scanning. NOTE The k key light will blink when temporarily disabled. Scanning will stop while microphone is off-hook if the hookswitch feature is enabled through programming. 2. When a group on the scan list receives a channel assignment, the radio unmutes on the assigned channel, the BSY indicator comes on and the received scan group is displayed. • 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 on the currently selected group depending on programming. • Pressing < when scan is on will cause the radio to recall the scanned group that was last received. This group is recalled for a period equal to the scan hang time. 11.6.5 Priority Group Scanning When scan is enabled and the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups have been identified, the radio will listen to calls on those groups and the selected group. While receiving a scanned group call, the radio will continue to monitor the selected Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups and will drop the call if the selected group or other higher priority call becomes active. During a Priority 2 call the radio will continue to monitor for a Priority 1 group call. The radio will monitor for Agency and Fleet calls that correspond to the Agency and Fleet associated with the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups. Priority Agency and Fleet calls will be indicated by displaying AGENCY or FLEET on the System line of the display and associated Priority 1 or 2 group on the Group line of the display. 11.6.6 Turning Scan Off Toggle scan operation off by pressing k. The radio will resume operation on the selected group.

36 11.7 INDIVIDUAL CALLS 11.7.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it unmutes on the assigned working channel and turns on the BSY indicator. Line 1 shows “ID” followed by the logical ID number of the radio sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The individual call indicator will display *INDV* on line 2. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller unkeys and will continue until the PTT button, the c button, or i is pressed. NOTE Hookswitch functions the same as c key in I-CALL, phone call, and menu modes. If a response is made 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 mode, but * WHC * will be displayed. If the caller's ID is not received, UNKNOWN will display for the duration of the call and there will be no call-back hangtime. To respond after the call-back time-out, press the i 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. (If the last call was a group call, the display will show WHCG=1. Pressing the PTT button will place the call as an individual call.) 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. To access the list, press the i key twice. Use the , or . keys to scroll through the list. Pressing the m key will display the time elapsed since the call was received.

37 11.7.2 Call Storage Lists There are two lists available for call storage in the radio, 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 i, the calls received list is available. The user can toggle to the personality list by selecting any key other than d or toggle between the two lists by pressing the i key. If wrap is enabled, the calls received list wraps on itself and not into the other list. 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 m toggles the time stamp ON and OFF. The time stamp indicates how long ago the call was received. The display indicates this information as HH:MM:SS where HH = hours, MM = minutes and SS = seconds. When in the pre-stored list, pressing m toggles the Logical IDentification (LID) ON and OFF. 11.7.3 Sending An Individual Call The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete an individual call. 1. To select a previously stored individual, select the I-Call mode from the menu or press i followed by the RAMP control , or . to scroll through the list of stored individuals. The selection mode rules apply. While in the individual call list, the menu key will toggle the display between the call name and the unit ID number. If the individual is not stored in this list but the individual's unit ID is known, it can be entered directly from the keypad. 2. Press the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling to obtain a communication channel. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit, TX indicator turns ON and the channel access tone sounds. Line 1 shows the called individual's name if found in the list of stored individuals or ID followed by the logical ID number of the unit being called. The message *INDV* displays on line 2. Proceed with the message. 11.8 SCAT OPERATION A SCAT™ (Single Channel Autonomous Trunking) System operates with the same set of features as a standard EDACS system. The only significant user change relates to the BSY indicator. Since only one channel, operating as both control and working channel, exists in a SCAT System, the BSY indicator will be ON when the SCAT channel is in the working channel mode. When the transmission on the channel is completed, the indicator turns OFF and indicates the return of SCAT control channel signaling.

38 11.9 TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS 11.9.1 Receiving a Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) Receiving a telephone interconnect call is identical to receiving an individual call. See the DTMF Overdial Operation section if access to services requiring "over-dial" is needed. Overdial operations are available for any special call whether it is an individual call or a telephone interconnect call. 11.9.2 Sending a Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) Use the following procedures to initiate and complete a Telephone Interconnect call: 1. To select a previously stored phone number, select phone call mode from the menu, press p and use the RAMP controls, , or ., to scroll through the list of stored phone numbers. The selection mode rules apply. While in the phone call list, the m key will toggle the display between the phone call name and the phone call number. If the phone number is not stored in this list but the phone number is known, it can be entered directly from the keypad. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and holding 0-9, *, or # until an underscore appears in the display. 2. Press and release the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling to obtain a communication channel. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit, TX indicator turns on and the channel access tone sounds. Line 1 shows the accompanying name if selected from the list of stored numbers or the phone number if entered directly. The message *PHONE* is displayed on line 2. The radio then automatically transmits the programmed number stored in the special call queue. 3. Telephone ringing will be heard. When someone answers the phone, press the PTT button and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to the caller. Unsuccessful interconnect signaling returns the radio to the normal receive mode and the number remains displayed until the special call is cleared by pressing the c button or the time-out expires or another group or system is selected. 4. To terminate the call, momentarily press the c button. NOTE The M7100IP Series mobile radio is capable of half-duplex conversation only. The caller’s message can only be sent if the PTT button is pressed (the radio is transmitting) and the caller can only be heard by the person being called when the PTT is released (the radio is receiving). 11.9.3 DTMF Overdial/Conventional Mode Telephone Interconnect 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 DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) access digits. Overdial operation can also be used to initiate a telephone interconnect call via DTMF signaling if a dial tone has already been accessed on the system. This is the method that is used for making 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 or stored by the

39 operator in the first ten phone list entries. These numbers are accessed by pressing p then following the selection mode rules. The following steps are required to dial these numbers: 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: METHOD 1: Press and hold PTT while entering the overdial number sequence from thekeypad. This method sends DTMF tones during individual, telephone interconnect, trunked group, or conventional channel calls. Anytime the PTTbutton is pressed and held, the keypad is enabled for DTMF entry. METHOD 2: Press p to enter the overdial select/entry mode and follow the selection mode rules to call up a stored number from the phone list or to directly enter theoverdial digits. Press PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the numberneeds 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 duringthe call). This overdial select/entry mode remains active until the call is dropped, cleared, or m is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing p. 11.9.4 Programmable Entries Individual call ID numbers, telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing are stored in the special call 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 i or p to enter the individual call list or the phone call list. The selection mode rules apply. 2. Scroll through the list using the RAMP controls, , 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. 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. 4. Press and hold m until the display changes indicating that the number has been stored. 5. Repeat the steps above if the number stored in an entry location needs to be changed. 11.10 MOBILE DATA The M7100IP Series mobile 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.

40 The mobile 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) can be connected to the mobile radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio. Additionally, radios programmed for host computers can also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or received). NOTE Turn power to the radio OFF before connecting or disconnecting any cables, including the data cable. Also, turn power to the radio OFF when docking or undocking a connected laptop computer. Failure to turn the power OFF can damage the radio, requiring service by a M/A-COM approved service center. 11.10.1 Displays The following will be displayed on the control unit during the various states of data mode of operation. TX DATA Displayed on bottom line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call. RX DATA Displayed on bottom line of display when the radio is receiving a data call. DATA OFF Displayed on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state. DATA ON Displayed for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the data enabled state. 11.10.2 DATA OFF Operation The radio can be placed in the data disable state by any of the following methods. When the data state is disabled, the control unit displays "DATA OFF" on the top line. An ongoing data call is allowed to complete except when an emergency is declared. • Removing the microphone from the hookswitch (hookswitch option must be enabled by pre-programming). • Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone will sound. • Pressing the o button (System Model) or O(Scan Model) (pre-programmed). Alert tone will sound. • Selecting the function using the m button (pre-programmed). • Pressing the ND button (System Model Only) (pre-programmed). 11.10.3 DATA ON Operation The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled). "DATA ON" will be displayed top line of display for 2 seconds then the display returns to normal. • Replacing the microphone into the hookswitch (going on-hook). Only valid if the “DATA OFF” operation was entered by removing the microphone from the hookswitch (going off-hook). • Pressing the ND key toggles data state ON or OFF. • Clearing an emergency, but valid only if an emergency caused “DATA OFF” operation.

41 11.10.4 Exiting Data Calls 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: • The PTT is activated. • The PTT is in Public Address mode. • An emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button. • A group or system change is made. 11.10.5 Scan Lockout Mode Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, scanning will stop temporarily (duration pre-programmed). During this time the scan LED 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 c (System Model) or C (Scan Model) button is pressed. • The PTT is pressed. • A group or system change is made. • Enter phone call mode. • Enter individual call mode. • A new emergency assignment has been received. • The PTT is pressed in Public Address Mode. • An emergency is declared or cleared. • Microphone is removed from hookswitch (OFF-hook). • Receiving an individual or phone call. • Receiving an Agency, Fleet or System All Call. • Pressing the k button to turn scan ON or OFF. 11.10.6 Data Lockout Mode The data lockout mode is a pre-programmed mode when the radio will not respond to any data channel assignments and prevents receive data calls from interrupting voice calls. Transmit data calls will still be initiated when needed by the operator. After a pre-programmed time, the radio will respond to receive data calls; however, the following conditions will clear the data lockout mode: • The c (System Model) or C (Scan Model) button is pressed. • Transmitting a data call. • Changing a system. • An emergency is declared.

42 • Pressing the PTT while in Public Address mode. • Turning scan ON with the SCAN button. 11.11 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION Status and message operation is possible with either the Scan or System version of the M7100IP Series mobile radio unit. The following procedure is applicable for the System version. For operation with the Scan version, the four primary keycaps must be reconfigured and pre-programmed for status/message operation. 11.11.1 Status Operation Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the EDACS site. To send a status condition, press the s button (keylight comes on) then press one of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed status. If no status has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio will display NO ENTRY and the radio will sound a low tone. 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 m button has been pressed (the m button 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. If the site receives the status properly, when transmitted or polled by the site, a high-pitched tone sounds and the keylight associated with that status will remain lit. If the site does not receive the status properly, a low-pitched tone sounds and the keylight associated with the status will blink. If an incorrect status was selected or the incorrect number button was pressed, the status can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number button. The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the c button prior to the time-out period. To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the s button. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the display. The radio can also be pre-programmed to redesignate the keypad buttons for ST0 thru ST9 to send status condition. In this configuration the radio status operation will operate as previously described except the s button is not required. The keylight associated with ST0 thru ST9 will indicate which status is selected. 11.11.2 Message Operation Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to an EDACS site. To send a message, press the n button (keylight comes on) then press one of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed message text. If no message text has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio will display NO ENTRY and a low-pitched tone sounds. A valid selection will permit the message text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the m button has been pressed (the m button will override the time-out period), the message text is selected and will be transmitted to the site. If the site receives the message properly when transmitted, a high pitched tone sounds and the n keylight remains lit. If the site does not receive the message properly, a low-pitched tone sounds and the n keylight will blink.

43 If an incorrect message text was selected or the incorrect number button was pressed, the message text can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number button. The message text selection can also be cancelled by pressing the c button prior to the time-out period. To view the currently selected message text after it has been transmitted, press the n button and then the c button prior to the time-out period. If the message text was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the message will flash in the display. 11.12 EDACS CONVENTIONAL P1 SCAN This feature permits the radio user to scan a pre-programmed conventional system and channel as a Priority 1 (P1) channel while the radio is selected for EDACS trunked system. If activity is detected on the conventional P1 channel, the radio will unmute and remain on this conventional channel for the programmable hang time. The radio must be pre-programmed to designate a button for scan ON/OFF operation. 11.13 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the Communications Systems Director (CSD). The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio until an activation message is sent by the system manager. Each radio that receives and acknowledges regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped. Pressing and holding the C (Scan Model) or c (System Model) button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup group set. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGR_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. 11.13.1 Emergency Operation If the pre-programmed group set on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will exit dynamic regroup and declare the emergency on the HOME group. If no EMER/HOME group is present, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic regroup group.

44 12 CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION The radio functions in the conventional mode when using conventional communications channels (non-trunked). Each channel consists of a preset frequency pair for transmit and receive during repeater operation or a single frequency for both transmit and receive during talk-around (no repeater) operation. To use this mode, the operator selects a conventional system that includes one or more conventional channels. Each conventional channel may have one or more features, such as Channel Guard, programmed when the channel is selected. The c button unmutes the receiver so activity on the selected channel can be monitored. When pressed and held for approximately 3 seconds this button toggles conventional channel decoding (Channel Guard, Digital Channel Guard or T99) ON and OFF, if programmed for the selected channel. 12.1 RECEIVING A CALL 1. Turn the radio on by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise (out of detent). A short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use. 2. Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level. 3. Select the desired conventional system and channel. The display indicates the current conventional system and channel names. 4. The radio is now ready to receive calls. 5. When the radio receives a call (and the correct encoding is decoded, if programmed and enabled), it unmutes on the channel and the BSY indicator comes on. 12.2 SENDING A CALL 1. Turn ON the radio and set the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level. Select the desired conventional system and channel. 2. Ensure that the channel is not busy by pressing the c button to briefly disable any channel decoding and unmute the receiver or observe the unlit BSY indicator. If the Channel Busy Lockout feature is programmed for the selected channel, the radio will not transmit when the channel is busy. 3. Press and hold the PTT button. The TX indicator will turn on and a short beep sounds (if programmed) indicating that communication can begin. 4. Hold the microphone approximately three inches from the mouth and speak in a normal voice. 5. Release the PTT button when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 12.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION If enabled, G-STAR emergency signaling can be transmitted when operating in the conventional mode. This G-STAR signaling will transmit 5 times with a delay between each transmission. To send an emergency call on the selected conventional system and channel (or on an optionally pre-programmed conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as follows: Press and hold the red E or “E” button for approximately one second (this time is programmable and, therefore, could be longer or shorter; check with the system administrator). The radio turns on the TX indicator and proceeds to transmit the pre-programmed G-STAR emergency signaling sequence. G-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:

45 METHOD 1: G-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the channel is changed the emergency signaling will continue to be transmitted on the newly selected channel. METHOD 2: Same as METHOD 1 but the radio will lock on to the currently selected channel. Any attempts to change the system or channel will be disabled. METHOD 3: G-STAR is transmitted on a pre-programmed conventional emergency system and channel regardless of the selected channel. In this case the selected channel is available for voice transmission and the radio will periodically change to the pre-programmed emergency system and channel to send the emergency signaling and then change back to the selected channel. METHOD 4: Same as METHOD 3 but the radio will lock on to the pre-programmed emergency system and channel. Any attempts to change the system or channel will be disabled. The emergency state can be cleared by turning the radio OFF and then back ON. 12.3.1 Using 5-Tone Signaling to Declare an Emergency If 5-Tone signaling is defined for emergency declaration in place of G-STAR emergency signaling, a pre-programmed tone sequence will be transmitted instead of the G-STAR sequence. This emergency declaration functions as the G-STAR emergency in all other respects. 12.3.2 Tone Encode Transmission In conventional mode two keys can be defined to be tone encode triggers. If either one of the pre-programmed tone encode triggers is pressed, a pre-programmed tone sequence will be transmitted on the current system and channel. (See Section 12.3 if E or “E” key is used.) The TX indicator will light during tone transmission and a beep will sound at the end of the transmission. If enabled, audible side tones will be heard in the radio speaker as well. If PTT is pre-programmed as one of the triggers, the microphone will become active for voice communication after the tone sequence is complete. Tone encode will be transmitted with Channel Guard if one is defined, and tones are always transmitted in clear voice mode, even if the channel is set for digital or private (see VOICE MODES). Digital or private voice transmission will resume normally after the tone transmission. 12.4 SCANNING CONVENTIONAL CHANNELS Channels, which have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis, can be scanned. The selected channel is scanned (if enabled through programming) whether or not it is in the scan list. Each conventional system's channel scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned OFF. The scan rate will vary depending upon the number of channels in the scan list and whether or not the radio is programmed to scan for channels with decoding enabled. Fewer channels will result in a faster scan rate. If programmed for dual-priority scan operation, the priority-one, priority-two and the remaining scan list channels are scanned. Once a signal is detected and the correct encoded squelch signal is decoded (if programmed), the radio receives the message and displays the received scan channel. At the same time, scanning continues on the priority-one and priority-two channels. If a priority-one or priority-two channel carrier, regardless of encoded squelch decoding, is detected while a non-priority channel is being received, the display name is updated and the received channel is switched to the priority channel. Scanning of the priority-one channel will continue if a message is being received on the priority-two channel. While receiving a call on a non-priority or a priority two channel, the radio periodically checks the priority one and two channels. If Scan with Channel Guard is enabled, the radio will use Channel Guard to decide whether to unmute on a priority channel. The radio will stop, on squelch detection, on a priority channel. In normal operation, the radio will unmute only on detecting the correct Channel Guard; otherwise, it will remain muted until the priority channel call and hang time have ended. An optional feature allows the radio

46 to continue scanning upon the detection of the wrong Channel Guard on a priority channel. The user can then select the rate at which this channel is scanned until the call ends. 12.4.1 Adding Channels To A Scan List 1. With scan operation turned OFF select the desired channel to add to the selected conventional system channel scan list. 2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current status will be displayed in column 1 of line 1 for a time-out period. Press < to add the channel to the scan list. S is displayed on the line. This sets the selected channel for non-priority scanning. A second press of < sets the channel for Priority 2 (P2) scanning and 2 is displayed on line 1. An additional press of < sets the channel for Priority 1 (P1) scanning and 1 is displayed on line 1. If the P1 or P2 channels are already set and a new channel is then assigned as the P1 or P2 channel, the previously assigned priority channel will change to non-priority scanning. The priority setting selection sequence is set and stops at P1, therefore the channel must be deleted from the scan list by pressing > before the channel is set to a previous priority setting. Any channel that is in a system's channel scan list will show S, 2, or 1 for the time-out period when it is the selected channel. 12.4.2 Deleting Channels From A Scan List 1. With scan operation turned OFF select the desired channel to delete from the selected conventional system's channel scan list. 2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current status is displayed for a time-out period. Press > to delete the channel from the scan list. S, 2, or 1 will turn OFF. Any channel that is not in a conventional system channel scan list will show a "blank" for the time-out period when it is the selected channel. 12.4.3 Nuisance Delete A channel can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected channel, by pressing > during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted channel. The channel will be deleted from the conventional system's channel 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 turned OFF and then back ON. 12.5 TURNING SCAN ON 1. Toggle the scan operation ON by pressing k. The SCAN indicator will turn ON when the radio is scanning. NOTE Scanning will stop while the microphone is off-hook if the hookswitch feature is enabled through programming. 2. When a channel on the scan list receives a channel assignment, the radio unmutes on the assigned channel, BSY indicator comes ON and the received scan channel is displayed. • The radio will continue scanning if a new channel is selected when scan is ON.

47 • Pressing the PTT button when scan is ON will cause the radio to transmit on the displayed channel or to the currently selected channel depending on programming. • Pressing < when scan is ON will cause the radio to recall the scanned channel that was last received. This channel is recalled for a period equal to the scan hang time. 12.6 TURNING SCAN OFF Toggle the scan operation OFF by pressing k. The radio will resume operation on the selected channel. 12.7 SQUELCH ADJUST In the conventional mode of operation, the squelch can be re-adjusted in the MENU selection mode or from a front panel key on the keypad that has been pre-programmed using ProGrammer™ software. A default value of 9, or any user level between 1 and 16, can be selected using ProGrammer software. The user can change this setting either of two ways from the front panel keys. NOTE A value of 16 requires a strong signal to open squelch, a value of 2 requires a very weak signal to open squelch, and a value of 1 is open squelch. NOTE When the squelch adjust feature is activated, Channel Guard, T99 decode, and Scan are disabled. When the squelch adjust feature is exited, Channel Guard, T99 decode, and Scan are restored to their previous states. 12.7.1 Menu Selection 1. Press the m key and then use the RAMP control , or . to scroll through the selections until SQUELCH is displayed. Then press m (select) again. 2. The display will show SQLCH=xx, where "xx" is the value between 1 and 16. 3. Use the RAMP control , or . to scroll through the values. Then press the m (select) key to save the new value after the display time-out (2 seconds). The displayed value will be selected and saved. 4. If the m or c key is pressed before the time-out, the menu feature will exit and the squelch level will not be updated. The original value will be restored. 12.7.2 Pre-Programmed Keypad Key 1. Press the pre-programmed key and the display will indicate SQLCH=xx, where "xx" is the value between 1 and 16. 2. Use the RAMP control , or . to scroll through the values. Then press the m (select) key to save the new value or wait for the display time-out (2 seconds). The displayed value will be selected and saved.

48 3. If the c key is pressed before the time-out, the squelch level will not be updated and the original value will be restored. 12.8 TYPE 99 DECODE (CONVENTIONAL ONLY) If the Type 99 Decode Option has been pre-programmed, individual selective calling is possible. The radio can now decode individual, group or supergroup paging calls. Two sets of Type 99 paging codes must be pre-programmed into the radio. When the radio decodes an appropriate Type 99 code sequence, an alert tone and visual indicator is provided to the user. The receiver then operates as a noise squelched unit until Type 99 is reset. Type 99 decode continues to operate during this noise squelched period. The appropriate Type 99 alert tone will sound again if it detects a valid two-tone sequence. Type 99 operation can be reset manually or automatically (pre-programmed). Manual reset is achieved by briefly pressing c, if programmed. Automatic reset, if enabled, occurs after a 30 second interval following the most recent decode of a Type 99 tone sequence. Hookswitch (pre-programmed) can also enable or disable Type 99 decode. The pre-programmed key light will blink when Type 99 is disabled by the hookswitch. Type 99 decode will continue to be active while the radio's c button is pressed. This allows the user to monitor calls and still be alerted when a call is directed to the user. While the user continues to press c, the user will hear both calls and all Type 99 tone signals. If c is pressed for longer than two (2) seconds, Type 99 decode will either be disabled or re-enabled depending upon its present state. To check the Type 99 enable status, press the Scan Add/Delete < or >. The current status of Type 99 decode will be displayed for a time-out period. Type 99 is enabled when the letter T is displayed in the third segment from right on the first line of the LCD. If a Horn Alert Option is installed and enabled with the Type 99 Decode Option, the radio can beep the vehicle horn when a Type 99 call is received. This option permits alerting persons out of the vehicle when a call is received. NOTE Type 99 is automatically disabled when Scan is enabled. 12.8.1 Menu Selection Press M and then use . or , controls to scroll through the selections until T99 ENAB is displayed. Then press M to toggle the Type 99 decode state. The T99 ON or T99 OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. 12.8.2 Pre-Programmed Keypad Key Press the pre-programmed key and the T99 ON or T99 OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

49 12.9 DIRECT MODE OPERATION (CONVENTIONAL ONLY) The direct mode (or talk-around) provides short range, line of sight communications. One of the buttons on the control unit must be pre-programmed for this feature to function. 1. Make sure the radio is ON and then select the desired conventional system and channel. 2. Press the pre-programmed button to toggle the talk-around function ON. 3. Ensure that the channel is not busy by pressing the c (System version) or C (Scan version) to briefly disable any channel decoding and unmute the receiver or observe the unlit BSY indicator. If the Channel Busy Lockout feature is programmed for the selected channel, the radio will not transmit when the channel is busy. 4. Press and hold the PTT button. The TX indicator will light and a short beep sounds (if pre-programmed) indicating that communication can begin. 5. Release the PTT button when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 6. When the communications is completed, press the pre-programmed button to toggle the talk-around function OFF.

52 14 TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION 14.1 SIREN/LIGHT OPERATION Each siren/light key is designed to control an optional siren/light package. Pressing a siren/light key will light the key indicator. Each siren/light key (except RESET) can be programmed for either CANCEL or ADDITIVE operation. If programmed for CANCEL, then all other siren/light activity is cancelled except for the activity associated with this key. If programmed for ADDITIVE, then a key press will add its respective siren/light activity to the current siren/light activity. It is important to note that while the lights are additive, only a single siren can be active at a time. The current siren will be determined from the recently pressed key that contains a siren assignment. Each siren/light key (except RESET) can be programmed for Toggle, Momentary, or Timed. In Toggle, each key press will toggle the state of the key between ON and OFF. In Momentary, a key's respective feature will only be active while the key is pressed and held. When programmed for Timed, the siren/light key activity will only be active during the programmable time-out window. The duration of the time-out window is programmable between from .5-127.5 seconds. During the time-out window the respective key indicator will be ON. When the timer expires, the activity will be terminated and the indicator will turn OFF. If an additional time-out key (programmed for ADDITIVE) is pressed during the time-out window, then the time-out window is reset and both activities will terminate at the same time. 14.2 DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION (ProVoice/Aegis/Voice Guard) 14.2.1 Voice Modes Each system (trunked or conventional) in the radio is programmed for no digital voice operation (analog only) or one of the two digital voice formats supported (ProVoice or Aegis). Aegis or ProVoice programmed systems have three (3) different voice modes: clear (analog), digital, and private. The voice modes are programmed on a per-group basis within each trunked system and on a per-channel basis within each conventional system. A radio must be equipped with the encrypt/decrypt option before it will operate in private mode. NOTE Current ProVoice Conventional operation is for talk-around mode only. Table 14-1: Transmit/Receive Mode Compatibility for Aegis/ProVoice Operation GROUP/CHANNEL PROGRAMMING (TRANSMIT) CLEAR RECEIVE DIGITAL RECEIVE PRIVATE RECEIVE CLEAR Yes No No DIGITAL Yes Yes No PRIVATE Yes No Yes

53 NOTE Conventional Aegis or encrypted channels require Channel Guard on the channel to operate correctly. 14.2.2 Clear Modes Aegis clear and ProVoice clear modes are identical voice modes 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 easily be monitored by unauthorized persons. Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive unencrypted digital or private messages. 14.2.3 Aegis/ProVoice Digital Mode Aegis/ProVoice digital mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice signals. These digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and they cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels programmed for Aegis or ProVoice digital operation transmit only digital signals. Private calls cannot be received or transmitted when the radio is in the Aegis or ProVoice digital mode because the radio does not know the cryptographic key used. Message trunked group calls and individual calls will be answered back in the mode they were received, assuming the call or hang time is still active. Individual, phone, all and emergency calls will be transmitted clear if digital mode is disabled or inoperative. • If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio will respond in analog mode during the hang time on the working channel. • If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio will respond in analog mode during the hang time. • When using the "WHC" feature to respond to an I-Call (after the hang time has expired), the call will be 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 will be transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID. DTMF The overdial and hot keypad features for transmitting DTMF tones are not available while in the Aegis Digital Mode or ProVoice Digital Mode. ERROR Messages If any of the following error messages are displayed, the radio was either programmed incorrectly or needs servicing: DSP ERR ERR=xxxx DSP ERR DIGV ERR Power Up Only If the Aegis or ProVoice circuit board is not responding, correctly, one of the following error messages will be displayed and the radio needs servicing: HARDWARE ERR= 3X 3X will be a number between 30 and 38

54 14.2.4 Aegis Private, ProVoice Private, and Voice Guard1 Private Modes The Aegis and ProVoice private modes allow the radio to transmit encrypted messages and receive clear or private transmissions. The radio will transmit private if the group/channel is programmed for private operation and forced operation is pre-programmed. If the radio was pre-programmed for auto-select, the radio will transmit in the following modes; • If Private mode is enabled, transmissions are always in private mode. • If Private mode is disabled and a private call is received, the Reply transmission will be in Private mode if the transmission is made during the scan hangtime. If the reply transmission occurs after the scan hangtime, the transmission will be in Clear mode. Aegis or ProVoice transmissions cannot be received by any radio set to receive a Voice Guard® transmission. Accordingly, Voice Guard or ProVoice transmissions cannot be received by a radio set to receive an Aegis transmission and neither Aegis nor Voice Guard transmissions can be received by a radio set to receive ProVoice. Since the M7100IP radios are not Voice Guard compatible, the M7100IP cannot receive a Voice Guard transmission, nor can Aegis or ProVoice transmissions from an M7100IP radio be heard by a radio set to receive Voice Guard transmissions. 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's programming. Groups and channels within Aegis or ProVoice systems can be programmed for keys 1-7. Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for Aegis systems. DES radios require a DES Keyloader (Option V4025 with software version 3.n or later). When operating on a group or channel programmed for private mode, all transmissions will be private transmissions and the radio will receive clear and private signals. The PVT keylight (System Model) or OPTION keylight (Scan Model) turns ON when the private mode is enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select capability, the mode can be toggled between private and clear with the PVT button (System Model) or O button (Scan Model). Radios programmed for forced private operation do not allow a change of the transmit mode; therefore, the PVT button (System Model) or O button (Scan Model) has no effect. 14.2.4.1 Transferring Keys to the Radio The following procedure outlines basic key transferring steps: 1. Turn the radio OFF. 2. Ensure that the PC programming cables and adapter box are disconnected from radio unit. 3. Plug the modular connector of the Keyloader cable into the Keyloader modular jack. 4. Connect the Keyloader cable to the keyloader level converter and then to the extended options cable DB25 on the rear of the radio. 5. Press the PWR button on the Keyloader and wait for the Keyloader to display "MASTER MODE." 6. Press the TRN button on the Keyloader. If necessary, select a different cryptographic key to be transferred into the radio. 1 Voice Guard encryption is not supported by M7100IP Series mobile radios.

55 7. Turn the radio ON. Use the m button to access the menu options then the RAMP , or . controls to select KEYLOAD. 8. Press m (select). Then use the RAMP , or . controls to select the bank location. 9. Press the EXE button on the Keyloader to transfer the key. The Keyloader will display "GOOD 1.x TRANSFER" where "x" is the selected cryptographic key number. 10. Disconnect the cable from the extended option cable. Press the C (Scan Model) or c (System Model) button to exit the keyload operation. The radio will change to the selected group or channel as indicated in the display. 14.2.4.2 Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number To display the cryptographic key currently in use 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 m button. 2. Use the , or . button (ramp control) to select DISP KEY. Then press the m (select) button. 3. Then use the , or . buttons to toggle between displaying the system key or the group/channel key. Table 14-2: Current Cryptographic Key Display ENCRYPTION KEY DISPLAYED MESSAGE DISPLAYED System "SYS KEY" "KEY = 1" Group/Channel "GRP KEY"/"CHN KEY" "KEY = 2"/KEY = 2" 14.2.4.3 Key Zero All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing the c button (System Model) or C (Scan Model) and while still pressing this button, press and hold the o button (System Model) or O (Scan Model). Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of warning beeps will begin at the start of this 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 can continue. 14.2.5 Private Operation 14.2.5.1 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 PVT keylight (System Model) or OPTION keylight (Scan Model) will flash, the receiver will unsquelch and the

56 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. 14.2.5.2 Transmitting an Encrypted Call 1. Select the desired group or channel. 2. Place the radio in private mode by pressing the PVT button (System Model) or O (Scan Model). When private mode is enabled, the PVT keylight (System Model) or O keylight (Scan Model) will be ON. If the last state of the radio was private mode, the private mode will be enabled on power up. In addition, the private mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio 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 is programmed for forced private transmit operation, FRCD PVT will be displayed if an attempt is made to disable private transmit mode. It is not possible to transmit on this group/channel in clear 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. 14.2.5.3 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 auto-select, 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 auto-select 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. 14.2.6 Conventional Operation 14.2.6.1 Outside Address The same outside address (works similar to Channel Guard operation) must be programmed in the transmitting and receiving radios when Aegis or ProVoice digital or private operation is enabled. If address is not correct, the radios will not communicate. 14.2.6.2 Channel Guard Channel Guard encode is transmitted on analog clear channels only. Channel Guard decode will operate on either a clear or private channel. The exception is when G-STAR signaling is used (see G-STAR paragraph). 14.2.6.3 G-STAR When G-STAR is programmed on a private channel, the radio will transmit G-STAR in clear mode and then switch to private for the voice portion of the call. If G-STAR is sent with Channel

57 Guard, then both are sent in clear mode and the radio switches to private mode. Emergency G-STAR data burst is transmitted in clear mode. 14.3 DUAL CONTROL OPERATION The M7100IP Series mobile radio can be programmed to operate from two separate Control Units. This permits radio operation from two separate locations in the vehicle. Dual control operation is available in both trunked and conventional modes. Only one control unit can control the mobile radio unit at a time. The control unit that controls the radio operation is called the active controller and the second unit is called the idle controller. 14.3.1 Switching Control Control can be switched to the idle controller by pressing the push-to-talk (PTT) on the microphone associated with the idle controller. Once PTT is pressed, the radio will switch control to the idle controller unless the active controller is currently transmitting (i.e., PTT pressed on active controller), in which case the switch will not occur. When control is switched to the idle controller, two short high-pitched tones will sound at the controller where PTT was pressed to indicate that the idle controller is now the active controller and the previous active controller is now the idle controller. 14.3.2 Control Switching Modes The radio can be pre-programmed for two modes of dual operation, Slaved and Independent. In the Slaved mode, the two controllers will use the same radio System and Group settings. The Independent mode permits each controller to have its own saved System and Group settings. 14.3.2.1 Slaved Mode Operation In Slaved mode, either controller can operate the radio with no change in System and Group settings when control is switched. Both controllers display the current information. If a key is pressed at the idle controller, other than PTT, E, “E,” or siren and light keys as noted in following paragraphs, a low tone will sound and the display will temporarily show DUAL on line 1 of the idle controller. When control is switched in a Slaved mode system, all of the radio settings and states will remain in effect that have been selected on the active controller. 14.3.2.2 Independent Mode Operation In Independent mode, the radio system operates as if there are two radio units each controlled by a separate control unit. Each control unit maintains its own System and Group settings that are restored when control is switched. The idle controller will display DUAL on line 1 to indicate that it is idle. If a key is pressed at the idle controller, other than PTT, E, “E,” or siren and light keys as noted in following paragraphs, a low tone will sound at the idle controller. When control is switched in Independent mode, the idle controller will restore its own System and Group settings instead of using the settings of the previously active controller. Any pending operations at the active controller, other than E, “E,” or siren and light, will be terminated. 14.3.3 Emergency Operation Either control unit (active or idle controller) can declare an emergency, provided radio has been pre-programmed to enable emergency declaration. If the idle controller declares an emergency,

58 control is switched to the idle controller and any current transmission from the previously active controller is terminated. 14.3.4 Siren & Light Control Siren & Light control is only available from the control unit that is pre-programmed for these functions. Typically, the control unit at the driver's location would be programmed. The control unit that has these functions programmed can activate them regardless of whether it is an active or an idle controller. 14.3.5 Dual Control Audio Audio output during dual control operation is a pre-programmed function. Default operation routes audio only to the active controller. 14.4 MULTIPLE RADIO OPERATION The M7100IP Series mobile radio can be configured to operate in multiple radio mode that permits more than one radio to be controlled from a single control unit or control location. The radios could be different frequency splits, trunked/conventional, etc. In multiple radio operation, the radios continue to operate as individual radios except with a common control unit. The control unit is used for display and control. The control unit display is shared by the multiple radio units and, when selected, a radio can be controlled by the control unit. For multiple radio operation, the control unit keypad must be pre-programmed for a variety of multiple radio buttons such as radio selection and radio mute. 14.4.1 Changing Selected Radio A radio unit can be selected by pressing the radio selection button (pre-programmed) on the control unit. In addition, a button can be pre-programmed to rotate selection through the radio units; e.g., if radio #1 is selected, pressing the radio select button will select radio #2. Similarly, radio #2 will be selected if the radio select button is pressed when radio #1 was selected. 14.4.1.1 Shared Control Unit Display Modes Radios in the multiple radio operation share the control unit display. Pre-programming the radios determines what the control unit displays. There are two modes of display: alternating radio display or first-come first-serve display. See also the following paragraph on Audio Modes. 14.4.1.1.1 Alternating Radio Display In this mode, the control unit display will alternate between showing the call information for the radios when more than one call is being received. This mode is available only if audio is summed (see following paragraph on Audio Modes). 14.4.1.1.2 First-Come First-Serve Display In this mode, the control unit display will show the call information of the radio that is providing the audio. A call in process prevents audio from other radios from being heard for the duration of the call. This mode corresponds with the first-come first-serve audio mode (see following paragraph on Audio Modes). 14.4.1.2 Audio Modes In multiple radio operation, the audio from the mobile radio units can be pre-programmed to be summed or available on a first-come first-serve process.

59 14.4.1.2.1 Audio Summed When audio is summed, the audio from all radios will be available whenever the radios receive a call. If two radios receive a call simultaneously, both calls will be heard in the speaker. 14.4.1.2.2 Audio First-Come First-Serve When audio is pre-programmed for first-come first-serve, the audio from the radio that receives a call first will be heard from the speaker for the duration of the call. During this time, audio from the other mobile radios will be muted. 14.4.1.3 Muting a Specified Radio Pressing the control unit mute button associated with a particular radio will mute its audio for a pre-programmed time period. The time period can be cleared by pressing the control unit mute button or the radio selection button. 14.4.1.4 Multiple Radio and Siren & Light Operation For siren and lights to function correctly, both the master and slave radios must be programmed with the same siren and light information. NOTE Note that the PA and External Speaker functions operate only on the Master radio. 14.4.1.5 Multiple Radio and Data Operation Only the master radio supports mobile data operation. 14.4.2 LAST SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL RECALL This feature, available for Master units only, enables the user to recall the last selected system/group after an EDACS emergency or home function, a conventional emergency or home function or system/group key function. This feature must be enabled through ProGrammer to function. For example, if the Home button (pre-programmed) is pressed, the radio will go to the designated Home system/group or channel. If the Home button is pressed again, the radio returns to the previous system/group or channel. At this time, the user can toggle between the Home system/group or channel and the previous system/group or channel. The operation is the same for the SG1-SG5 buttons. 14.5 MACRO KEY OPERATION Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro" keystroke. Up to ten (10) macro keys can be defined, each capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any pushbutton input (i.e., keypad keys, buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed or when released. A macro key can also be pre-programmed to change the keystroke sequence the next time the macro key is activated. For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or administrator.

60 14.6 INTERCONNECT CALL (SYSTEM MODEL ONLY) To send a manually entered telephone interconnect call: 1. Select a channel in the radio system that has telephone interconnect capability. The radio should be programmed for DTMF operation on this channel. 2. Press the k button to toggle the keypad to the DTMF function (secondary function). 3. Press and hold PTT to key the transmitter. While holding the PTT, press the * or # key (as required by the radio system to obtain a telephone line). The radio will transmit the selected tone. 4. Release the PTT and listen for a dial tone. When the dial tone is heard, press and hold the PTT while entering the desired telephone number. As each digit is entered and transmitted, the DTMF side tone will be heard from the speaker, if programmed to do so through ProGrammer. 5. After all the digits have been entered and transmitted, release the PTT. 6. When the call is answered, press the PTT and speak directly into the microphone. Release the PTT immediately to receive a reply. 7. When the call is finished, press and hold PTT and then press the * or # key (as required by radio system) to terminate the interconnect call. Release the PTT. 8. To return to the primary function of the keypad, press k. To continue with another interconnect call, repeat steps 3 through 8. 14.7 KEYPAD REMAPPING If the keys have been remapped to provide new functions, fill in the following templates (Figure 14-1 and Figure 14-2) for future reference.

62 GLOSSARY Agency - An agency is composed of multiple fleets. Units can be programmed to initiate agencycalls to access multiple fleets (Trunked Mode Only). Base/Unit Operation - A programmed option used in some fleets so units can only hear and talk to a basedispatch unit, not to other mobiles or personals in the group. In this mode of operation,when a unit in a particular group is talking to the base dispatch unit, all other mobile and personal radios in that group will receive a "System Busy" tone if they try toaccess the system (Trunked Mode Only). Control Channel - A radio channel in a trunked system that is used to digitally communicate with the radios operating on the system when they are not engaged in active voicecommunications. Conventional Channel - A radio channel (transmit/receive frequency pair) that is allocated for conventional(non-trunked) use and can be manually selected by the operator. Conventional Mode - Communicating on radio channels allocated for conventional use (i.e. conventionalsystem). CCT - Carrier Controlled Timer - a programmable timer that will disable a transmission if the length is exceeded. CG - Channel Guard - a method of controlling speaker mute with a tone or digital code. Fleet - A fleet of users consists of multiple groups (sub-fleets). Radios can be programmed to make fleet calls to simultaneously access multiple user groups (Trunked Mode Only). Group or Sub-fleet - A group of users share the same program group identification number in their mobileand portable radios. All units in the same group will receive a dispatch call placed byany one unit in the group (Trunked Mode only). Group Scan - Programming that allows the radio to monitor many groups simultaneously (multi-group decode), permitting the user to both monitor and receive calls from these groups.The radio can be programmed with a scan hang time which causes the radio to remain on the scanned group for a pre-programmed amount of time, responding only to calls of a higher priority such as priority scan group calls, individual calls, fleet calls,agency calls, etc. When activity on the scan group ends, and the pre-programmed time has expired, the radio returns to monitoring multiple groups (Trunked Mode Only). Individual Call - Every radio in the system is programmed with a unique individual identification code.A mobile or portable unit can be programmed to call another particular unit by selecting the individual by name or ID number (Trunked Mode Only). Queueing - The process that occurs when all channels in a trunked system are busy and calls mustbe addressed on a priority basis. Site Controller - The computer controlled radio equipment at the repeater site that controls a trunkingsystem. System (area) - The terms "system" and "area" are used interchangeably to refer to the particular groupof station repeaters currently providing service to the radio.
