SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 
WARNING
The M/A-COM P7100IP portable radio generates RF 
electromagnetic energy during transmit mode.  This 
radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational  
Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the 
course of employment by individuals aware of the 
hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards.  This 
radio is NOT intended for use by the “General 
Population” in an uncontrolled environment. 
The P7100IP portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF 
exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.”  In addition, this M/A-COM 
radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF 
energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for 
exposure to humans: 
•  FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating 
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio 
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. 
•  American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for 
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency 
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. 
•  American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE 
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous 
Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. 
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES 
CAUTION
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is 
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, 
always adhere to the following guidelines: 
•  DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may 
damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be 
exceeded.  A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by 
M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use 
with this radio.  (Refer to Table 2: Options and Accessories) 
•  DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty 
cycle”).  Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF 
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.  The radio is 
transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio 
will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button. 
5 

6 
•  Always transmit using low power (refer to High/Low Power Adjustment 
section) when possible.  In addition to conserving battery charge, low 
power can reduce RF exposure. 
•  ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, 
belt clips, speaker/mics, etc).  Use of unauthorized accessories may cause 
the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements 
to be exceeded.  (Refer to Table 2: Options and Accessories.) 
•  ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) from 
the body and at least 5 cm (2 inches) from the face when transmitting to 
ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. This 
radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances listed 
in Table 1.  However, to provide the recipients of your transmission the 
best sound quality, hold the antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, 
and slightly off to one side.

OPERATING TIPS 
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. 
Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, 
inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range 
of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.  
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be 
obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in 
another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve 
communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an 
externally mounted antenna.  
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a 
portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries.  
EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION 
For optimum audio clarity at the receiving radio(s), hold the portable radio 
approximately three inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone at 
a normal voice level.  
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a 
message.  
Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not 
hold when transmitting a message.  
WARNING
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when transmitting! 
Antenna Care and Replacement 
WARNING
Always keep the antenna at least 0.8 inches (2 cm.) away from 
the body and 2 inches (5 cm.) from the face when transmitting 
to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not 
exceeded. 
WARNING
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing 
antenna. A minor burn may result if a damaged antenna comes 
into contact with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna 
immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna 
missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may 
violate FCC regulations. 
8 

WARNING
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized 
antennas, modifications or attachments could cause damage to 
the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations.  (Refer to Table 
2: Options and Accessories.) 
Electronic Devices 
CAUTION
RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic 
equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, 
hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in 
areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio 
equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off! 
Aircraft 
WARNING
Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! 
•  Use it on the ground only with crew permission. 
•  DO NOT use while in-flight!! 
Electric Blasting Caps  
WARNING
To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO 
NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting 
operations.  Always obey the "Turn Off Two-Way Radios" 
signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used.  
(OSHA Standard: 1926.900) 
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres 
WARNING
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not 
always, clearly marked. These may be fueling areas, such as gas 
stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas 
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, 
or metal powders. 
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in 
bodily injury or even death. 
Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially 
explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio 
or its accessories could generate sparks.

INTRODUCTION 
This manual describes how to use the P7100IP series portable radio. The 
P7100IP series radios are synthesized, microprocessor-based, high 
performance portable FM radios providing reliable two-way communications 
in both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications Systems (EDACS®) 
trunking environment and conventional communications systems. 
In EDACS (trunked) mode, the user selects a communications system and 
group. In this mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and is 
controlled via digital communication with the system controller. This provides 
advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels. 
In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel and communicates 
directly on that channel. In this mode, a system refers to a set of channels. A 
channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair. 
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the 
radio’s programming, and the particular radio system. Most features described 
in this manual can be enabled through programming. Consult the particular 
features programmed into the P7100IP. 
For further detail about features and operation refer to the appropriate 
maintenance manual or contact the system administrator. 
WATER RESISTANCE 
The P7100IP series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse 
conditions.  These radios meet MIL-STD-810F specifications for driven rain, 
humidity, and salt fog.

CONTROLS 
The radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button mounted 
on the top of the radio.  Push-To-Talk, option and monitor buttons are 
mounted on the side.  The front mounted keypad has six buttons on the 
P7150IP Scan model and 15 buttons on the P7170IP System Radio.    
Buttons and Knobs 
This section describes the primary function of the button and knob controls.  
Other functions associated with these controls are detailed in later sections. 
POWER ON-OFF 
VOLUME KNOB  Applies power to and adjusts the receiver’s volume.  
Rotating the control clockwise applies power to the 
radio.  A single alert tone (if enabled through 
programming) indicates the radio is operational. 
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume 
level.  Minimum volume levels may be programmed 
16 
17 
into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low 
volume setting.  While adjusting the volume the 
display will momentarily indicate the volume level 
(i.e. VOL=31).  The volume range is from a minimum 
programmed level of zero (displayed as OFF in the 
display) up to 31, which is the loudest level. 
CONTROL KNOB  Selects systems or group/channels (depending on 
programming).  This is a 16-position rotary knob.   
Note:  A mechanical stop, which can limit the 
positions accessed, is shipped with the radio but must 
be installed.  To install the mechanical stop, remove 
the channel knob, loosen the set screw on the channel 
knob metal base (using a 1.27mm hex wrench), and 
remove the channel knob metal base.  Replace the 16 
channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the 
desired channel.  Reinstall the channel knob metal 
base, tighten the set screw, and reinstall the channel 
knob. 
EMERGENCY/ 
HOME BUTTON  Automatically selects the pre-programmed 
Group/System by pressing and holding for a 
programmed duration.  It can also be used to declare 
an emergency by pressing and holding for a 
programmed duration.  The button must be pre-
programmed for either operation, but not both.

UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR (UDC) 
The Universal Device Connector (UDC) provides connections for external 
accessories such as a headset or a speaker-microphone.  The UDC is located 
on the right side of the radio (opposite the PTT Button).  When the radio is 
locked in a vehicular charger the UDC provides the audio and control 
connections between the radio and the vehicular charger.  The UDC facilitates 
programming and testing the radio.  The UDC pins perform different 
functions depending on the accessory attached to the UDC.

DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION 
Digital voice programmed systems have three (3) different voice modes: clear 
(analog), digital, and private (encrypted). The voice modes are programmed 
on a per-group basis within each trunked system and on a per-channel basis 
within each conventional system. 

Clear Mode 
The Clear Mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives 
only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and 
non-encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can be monitored easily by 
unauthorized persons.  
NOTE
Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot 
transmit or receive digital or private messages. 
Digital Mode 
The Digital Mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice 
signals. Digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and cannot 
be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels 
programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Message 
trunked group calls and individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in 
the mode in which they were received assuming the call or hang time is still 
active. Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if 
the digital mode is disabled or inoperative. 
1.  If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the 
analog mode during the hang time on the working channel. 
2.  If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the analog mode 
during the hang time. 
3. When using the *WHC* feature to respond to an I-Call (after the hang 
time has expired), the call is transmitted in the mode defined by the 
system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID being called 
is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is 
transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that 
ID. 
The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode. 
Private Mode 
The Private Mode allows the radio to transmit encrypted messages and receive 
clear or private transmissions. The radio transmits private if the group/channel 
is programmed for private operation and forced operation is pre-programmed. 
If autoselect operation is pre-programmed and the radio is in the Private 
Mode, the radio transmits in the mode of the received call if the hang time is 
active. If no hang time is active, the radio transmits private.  
Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radio using a cryptographic 
Keyloader. Up to seven (7) different cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can 
be transferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio. An individual key is 
36 

automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radio 
programming. Groups and channels within the digital system can be 
programmed for keys 1-7 (private). Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for 
private systems. The bank is specified per system.  
When operating on a group or channel programmed for Private Mode, all 
transmissions are private transmissions and the radio receives clear and 
private signals. The status icon   is displayed when the Private Mode is 
enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select 
capability, the mode may be toggled between private and clear with the  
key, then following the selection mode rules. Radios programmed for forced 
private operation do not allow a change of the transmit mode. 
Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number 
To Display the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number for either the 
system encryption key (for special call such as individual, phone, all, agency 
or fleet) or the group/channel key (for group or conventional calls), perform 
the following procedure: 
1. Press the 
 button. 
2. Use the 
 or  button to select "DISP KEY." 
3.  Then use the  or  button to toggle between displaying the system 
key or the group/channel key. 
System Encryption Key

37 

Key Zero 
All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing 
the MONITOR/CLEAR button and while still pressing this button, press and 
hold the OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of beeps 
will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone 
after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO. 
If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred 
from the Keyloader into the radio before private communications may 
continue. 
Private Operation 
Receiving an Encrypted Call 
When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private 
operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it 
will be decrypted, the   icon is displayed, the receiver will unsquelch and the 
message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur the selected group or 
channel must be programmed for private operation and the correct 
cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio. 
Transmitting an Encrypted Call 
1.  Select the desired group or channel 
2.  Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing  key, then follow the 
selection mode rules. On a System radio, the  key can be used to 
toggle the Private Mode ON/OFF. When Private Mode is enabled, the   
icon is displayed. 
If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be 
enabled on power up. Also, the Private Mode will be enabled if forced 
operation has been programmed in the radio.  
If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, 
PVT DIS will be displayed if an attempt is made to enable private 
transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in 
Private Mode.  
If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY# 
will be displayed and the call will not be transmitted. 
3.  Continue with standard transmission procedures.  A Private Mode access 
tone will be heard when the PTT button is pressed. 
38 

Scanned Group Calls 
Receiving a Scanned Group Call is the same as receiving a selected group 
call. During the scan hang time, if the radio was programmed for autoselect, it 
will transmit back in the same mode it received the call. For example, if a 
clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the 
same group was available in private and entered in the scan list, it can receive 
clear and private calls, provided autoselect was programmed in the radio. The 
user can select transmitting on the scanned or selected group. If a group is 
entered in the scan list more than once and in different modes (clear, digital, 
private), only the first occurrence of the group will be used.

TRUNKED OPERATION 
SCANNING TRUNKED GROUPS 
Groups that have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis 
may be scanned. Each system's group scan list is retained in memory when the 
radio is powered OFF or when the battery pack is removed.  
The following procedures outline scan operations for trunked groups. See the 
conventional mode operating procedures for specific procedures on 
conventional channel scanning. 
Turning Scan On and Off 
1.  Toggle Scan operation ON by pressing  (Scan model) or  (System 
model).   icon rotates clockwise to indicate radio is scanning.  
2.  Toggle Scan operation OFF by again pressing  (Scan model) or  
(System model).   will disappear.  
•  If the radio scans to a group other than the selected group then 
receives a call on the selected group, the radio will switch to the 
selected group.  However, if the “scanned-to” group is programmed 
at a higher priority the radio will remain on the “scanned-to” group. 
•  The radio will continue scanning if a new group is selected when 
scan is ON.  
Pressing the PTT button when scan is ON will cause the radio to transmit on 
the displayed group or to the currently selected group (depending on 
programming). 
Adding Groups to a Scan List 
Scan Model 
1.  Scan must be OFF to add/delete groups to/from the scan list. If the Scan 
icon   is ON, press the  key to turn Scan OFF.  
2.  Select the desired group using the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob 
and/or the  or  keys. If the selected group is currently on the list, 
pressing  will display   on line three.  
3.  If the scan list status icon is blank ( ), the group can be added to the scan 
list by pressing the  key.   will be displayed on line three. 
40 

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

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

System Model 
1.  With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group to delete from 
the selected trunked system's group scan list.  
2. Press 
. The current status of the group is displayed for a time-out 
period.  
42 

While the status is displayed, press to delete the group from the scan list. 
 ,   ,or   turns OFF. Any group that is not in a trunked system group scan 
list will show a "blank" for the time out period when it is the selected channel. 
Nuisance Delete 
A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected 
group, by pressing the  key (Scan model) or the  key (System model) 
during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group. The 
group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as 
if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain 
deleted if the radio is powered OFF and then powered ON. 
SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS 
The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These 
features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or 
menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled 
during radio operation. This is covered in the Menu Selection and Pre-
Programmed Keypad Key sections. The System Scan state will be maintained 
through system changes but will default to ON when the radio is powered ON. 
Wide Area System Scanning 
The P7100IP series radios can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan 
operation for roaming across mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently 
selected system's control channel, radios can be programmed to automatically 
scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found, 
the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone. 
Priority System Scan 
The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority 
system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the control channel 
of the selected system, the radio will periodically leave the selected system 
and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a 
programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control 
(unless the ProScan™ algorithm is enabled, as explained in the following 
sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed 
or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or 
meets the predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch 
to the priority system. 
Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function 
If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins 
to wide area system scan, the radio will only scan for the priority system 
control channel if the priority system is in the wide area scan list. 
43 

44 
When ProScan is Enabled 
The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if 
the criteria defined by the controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. 
If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the priority 
system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan 
Options dialog box. 
ProScan 
The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-
site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is an 
improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed to replace 
ProSound™ scanning. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a 
new system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops 
below a predefined level. This is accomplished by enabling each radio to 
analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compares it with 
the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list. 
(The signal quality metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a 
combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Control 
Channel Verification (CCV) measurements.) When the selected system 
degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better 
control channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed 
parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone 
(if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, 
the radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed 
adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found. 
Menu Selection 
Press  and then use the  or  buttons to scroll through the selections 
until  SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press  to toggle the System Scan 
state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two 
seconds to show the new state. 
Pre-Programmed Keypad Key 
Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or 
SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new 
state. 
EMERGENCY OPERATION 
The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain 
locked on an emergency system and group, and the emergency audio and 
display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When 
an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the 
emergency has been cleared. 

Receiving an Emergency Call 
When Receiving An Emergency Call on the selected group and system, an 
alert beep is heard and   is displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in 
the display on line two until the emergency condition is cleared. 
Declaring an Emergency Call 
To send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally 
pre-programmed group), proceed as follows:  
1.  Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in 
front of the antenna for approximately one second (this time is 
programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the 
system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request 
with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received.  
2.  When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a 
single beep indicating the radio has auto keyed (see Table 4) and is ready 
for voice transmission.  *TXEMER* flashes on line two in the display 
until the emergency is cleared.  
3.  Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice.   and   
momentarily turn ON.  
4.  Release PTT when the transmission is complete.  
To clear the emergency first press and hold the CLEAR/MONITOR button. 
While continuing to hold the CLEAR/MONITOR button, press the 
EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed to clear 
emergencies.) 
INDIVIDUAL CALLS 
Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call (Trunked Mode 
Only) 
When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's 
radio), it un-mutes on the assigned working channel and displays  . The first 
line on the display shows the logical ID number of the unit sending the 
message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual 
call list. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is 
received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller un-keys and 
will continue until the PTT button, the CLEAR/MONITOR button or the 
individual call mode is entered. 
NOTE
The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control 
levels. 
45 

If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed 
call-back time-out, the call will automatically be directed to the originating 
unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio will 
return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of 
the LCD.  
To respond after the call-back time-out, press the  key. The radio's display 
will show the callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. 
Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an individual call back to the 
original caller.  
The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as 
shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group 
calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is 
stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

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

This overdial select/entry mode remains active until dropped, cleared, or  is 
pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still 
active by pressing . 
PROGRAMMABLE ENTRIES 
Pre-Storing Individual and Telephone Interconnect Calls from the 
Keypad (System Mode Only) 
Individual Call ID numbers, telephone numbers and other number sequences 
for overdialing are stored in the special calls lists when programming the 
radio. The first ten entry locations of these lists can be changed by the radio 
operator. The keypad is used when adding, changing, and storing numbers in 
these entry locations.  
Use the following procedure to store a number in one of the first ten entries of 
a special call list:  
1. Press 
 or  to enter the individual call list or the phone call list.   
is displayed. 
2.  Scroll through the list using the  or  until one of the first ten 
entries is reached. NO ENTRY is displayed if the location is empty.  
3.  Enter the desired number. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing 
and holding 0-9, , or  until an underscore appears in the display 
(telephone interconnect only). The individual call list entries will accept 
up to 5 digits. The phone call list entries accept a combination of up to 31 
digits and pauses.  
51 

52 
4.  Press and hold  until the display changes indicating that the number 
has been stored.  
Repeat steps 1-4 above if the number stored in an entry location needs to be 
changed. 
STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION 
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status 
condition to the EDACS site.  Message operation permits the transmission of a 
pre-programmed message text to an EDACS site. 
Status Operation 
To send a status condition, press the  key followed by  or  key to 
select the pre-programmed status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed 
status selections are available from the menu. If STATUS is selected you need 
to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no status 
has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO 
ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the status text to appear in the display 
for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the  key has been 
pressed (the  key will override the time-out period), the status is selected 
and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can 
be polled by the site at a future time. Status messages can also be programmed 
for single key operation so that a single press of a key assigned to a status 
message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not receive the 
status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone. 
The status selection can also be canceled by pressing the CLEAR button prior 
to the time-out period.  
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the  
key and then the  key to ramp to STS, re-press the  key again and then 
the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent 
successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the 
display. 
Message Operation 
Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the 
previous section. 
Dynamic Regroup Operation 
Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be 
added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed 
to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio 

53 
until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that 
receives and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully 
regrouped.  
Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITOR button for 2.5 seconds toggles 
the user into and out of the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will 
sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a 
digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled 
by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group 
that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio 
will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition 
except for scanned groups.  
Emergency Operation  
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an 
EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will 
declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic group. 
Macro Key Operation 
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes 
with a single "macro" keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up 
to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input (i.e., keypad keys, 
OPTION button, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate 
when pressed or when released.  
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence 
the next time the macro key is activated.  
For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your 
communications supervisor or administrator. 
PORTABLE DATA 
The P7100IP series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS 
configuration, permit either voice or data calls to be transmitted or received. 
The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, selection of 
either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal 
usage of the radio. Data communications is not supported in the conventional 
mode.  
The radios can be connected to Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) or to a host 
computer. Any RS-232 compatible device that supports the Radio Data 
Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be connected to the 
radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per 
radio. Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation 
(no voice calls transmitted or received). 

54 
Displays 
The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of 
operation: 
TX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting
a data call.  
RX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is receiving 
a

to the control channel after completion of a data call (transmit or receive). If, 
during a data call, one of the following conditions occurs, the data call is 
immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function:  
•  PTT is activated. 
•  Emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency 
button. 

55 
•  A group or system is changed. 
Scan Lockout Mode 
Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, 
scanning will stop temporarily (two independent pre-programmed times; after 
a receive data call and after a transmit data call). During this time the scan 
indicator will flash to indicate that scan is enabled but temporarily suspended. 
This mode is normally exited when the pre-programmed time expires; 
however, the following actions will terminate the scan lockout mode before 
the timeout is completed: 
•  The CLEAR button is pressed. The PTT is pressed.  
•  The group or system is changed.  
•  Phone call mode is entered.

that nickel-cadmium and nickel-metal hydride batteries supplied by Seller shall be free from defects 
in material and workmanship, and shall conform to its published specifications for a period of 
twelve (12) months from the date of purchase. 
B.  For purposes of this warranty, batteries shall be deemed defective if (1) the battery capacity is less 
than 80% rated capacity, or (2) the battery develops leakage. 
C.  If any battery fails to meet the foregoing warranty, Seller shall correct the failure by issuing a 
replacement battery upon receipt of the defective battery at an Authorized Service Center (ASC) or 
M/A-COM factory (for OpenSky® Equipment only). 
D.  Replacement batteries shall be warranted only for the remaining unexpired warranty period of the

non-conformity of any battery, whether the claim is in contract, warranty, tort (including 
negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and however instituted. Upon the expiration of the warranty 
period, all such liability shall terminate. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of all 
other warranties, whether oral, written, expressed, implied or statutory. NO IMPLIED OR

WARRANTY 
A.  M/A-COM, Inc. (hereinafter "Seller") warrants to the original purchaser for use (hereinafter "Buyer") 
that Equipment manufactured by or for the Seller shall be free from defects in material and 
workmanship, and shall conform to its published specifications. With respect to all non-M/A-COM 
Equipment, Seller gives no warranty, and only the warranty, if any, given by the manufacturer shall 
apply.  Rechargeable batteries are excluded from this warranty but are warranted under a separate 
Rechargeable Battery Warranty (ECR-7048). 
B.  Seller’s obligations set forth in Paragraph C below shall apply only to failures to meet the above 
warranties occurring within the following periods of time from date of sale to the Buyer and are 
conditioned on Buyer’s giving written notice to Seller within thirty (30) days of such occurrence: 
1.  for fuses and non-rechargeable batteries, operable on arrival only. 
2.  for parts and accessories (except as noted in B.1) sold by Seller’s Service Parts Operation, 
ninety (90) days. 
3. for PANTHER™ Series handportable and mobile radios, two (2) years. 
4.  for all other equipment of Seller’s manufacture, one (1) year. 
C.  If any Equipment fails to meet the foregoing warranties, Seller shall correct the failure at its option 
(i) by repairing any defective or damaged part or parts thereof, (ii) by making available at Seller’s 
factory any necessary repaired or replacement parts, or (iii) by replacing the failed Equipment with 
equivalent new or refurbished Equipment. Any repaired or replacement part furnished hereunder 
shall be warranted for the remainder of the warranty period of the Equipment in which it is installed. 
Where such failure cannot be corrected by Seller’s reasonable efforts, the parties will negotiate an 
equitable adjustment in price. Labor to perform warranty service will be provided at no charge 
during the warranty period only for the Equipment covered under Paragraph B.3 and B.4. To be 
eligible for no-charge labor, service must be performed at a M/A-COM factory, by an Authorized 
Service Center (ASC) or other Servicer approved for these purposes either at its place of business 
during normal business hours, for mobile or personal equipment, or at the Buyer’s location, for 
fixed location equipment. Service on fixed location equipment more than thirty (30) miles from the 
Service Center or other approved Servicer’s place of business will include a charge for 
transportation. 
D.  Seller’s obligations under Paragraph C shall not apply to any Equipment, or part thereof, which (i) 
has been modified or otherwise altered other than pursuant to Seller’s written instructions or written 
approval or, (ii) is normally consumed in operation or, (iii) has a normal life inherently shorter than 
the warranty periods specified in Paragraph B, or (iv) is not properly stored, installed, used, 
maintained or repaired, or, (v) has been subjected to any other kind of misuse or detrimental 
exposure, or has been involved in an accident. 
E.  The preceding paragraphs set forth the exclusive remedies for claims based upon defects in or 
nonconformity of the Equipment, whether the claim is in contract, warranty, tort (including 
negligence), strict liability or otherwise, and however instituted. Upon the expiration of the warranty 
period, all such liability shall terminate. The foregoing warranties are exclusive and in lieu of all 
other warranties, whether oral, written, expressed, implied or statutory. NO IMPLIED OR 
STATUTORY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR 
PURPOSE SHALL APPLY. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY 
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES. 
This warranty applies only within the United States.
