RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION
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.
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.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by M/A-COM, Inc. could void the
user's authority to operate the equipment.
CAUTION
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 xrays, 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 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. M7100IP mobile two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of
national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to RF
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is
authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the
FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your M/A-COM, Inc. M7100IP mobile two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure
standards and guidelines:
•
United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR

3.1
OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
TRANSMITTER HAZARDS
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:
•
Heat Dissipation – When the M7100 mobile is used for an extended period time in transmit mode, the
heat sink fins on top of the mobile chassis may be uncomfortable to the touch. Please exercise caution
when handling or working near the mobile when it is in use.
•
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 antiskid 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.

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.
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.

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
the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS®) and P25 Trunking environments, as well
as, conventional communication systems.
In the EDACS or P25 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.
16
7
USER INTERFACE
The M7100IP operating controls are located on the radio's front panel (see Figure 7-1and Figure 7-2). 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 ONOFF/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, P25 Trunked, 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.

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.
8.1
POWER ON-OFF VOLUME KNOB
This rotary knob powers the radio ON and OFF 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.
8.2
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.
8.3
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.
8.4
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.
18
8.5
SCAN ADD/DELETE
This rocker type button is used to display the current SCAN status for a group/channel and
then either add or delete the group/channel from the system scan list.
Pressing the add/delete button twice while the radio is actively receiving or three times when
the radio is not receiving selects the last scanned channel (Last Scanned Channel Recall).
8.6
INDICATORS
Transmitter enabled - ON when the radio is transmitting.
BuSY - 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.

8.7
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.
19
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.
8.7.1
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 8-3. The keycap represents the primary
function programmed for that key location. See Secion 8.7.3 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.

Key Descriptions
DEL
SELECT
Secondary function - used to delete a digit during numeric entry (see Section
11.2).
Primary function - accesses the menu list. This is a list of additional features that
are not available directly from the keypad. See Section 11.4 for details.
Secondary function - activates a selected item within a list. After the menus list is
accessed, select a menu item from the list via RAMP controls, , or ., and
activate it with this key. Once activated, MENU continues its secondary function
for activating a selected parameter setting until the radio returns to its normal
receive state. This is similar to an enter key.
The Status key permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status message to
an EDACS or P25 Trunked site.
The Message key permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message to an
EDACS or P25 Trunked site.

Primary Functions (Quick Access)
The secondary function of the k button is to toggle the keypad buttons between their primary
function and their secondary function. When the secondary keypad is active, i.e. entering phone
digits for an interconnect call, the k button can be used to toggle the keypad buttons back to
their primary function, perform a task (siren/light enable), and then toggle back to finish entering
the digits for the phone number. PRIMARY is displayed when the k button is used to
toggle the keypad keys back to their primary functions. This provides quick access to the primary
functions of the keypad. This is a programmable feature of the k button only. Careful
consideration should be given to possible operational conflicts before enabling this feature.
Several keys on the Scan version have a secondary function. The m key is the SELECT
secondary function with the C key remaining the same for the secondary function. On the
System version, the o has a secondary function for DELETE, m is SELECT, and c
retains its CLEAR function.

10 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.
10.1
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).
10.2
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.
10.3
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 sound(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).
10.4
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.
10.5
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.
10.6
CARRIER CONTROL TIMER
If the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded, the radio will issue five short highpitched 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.
10.7
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.
10.8
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).
27
10.9
PAGE (P25 TRUNKED ONLY)
In P25 trunked mode, if the receiving radio accepts a page, both the receiving and transmitting radios emit
three high-pitched tones.
28
11 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 11.7, TRUNKED MODE
OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a trunked system (e.g., Group
Scan). Section 13, CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are
only used in a conventional system (e.g., Squelch Adjust). Section 13.10, PROJECT 25 (P25)
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a P25
conventional system. Section 15, 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).
11.1
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 or P25 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.
11.2
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:
The hookswitch functions the same as the c key in I-Call, phone call, and menu modes.
SYSTEM
NORTH
SOUTH
EAST
WEST
After entering a selection mode, the following generic display format will appear:
XXXXXXXX
YYY
= ZZZ
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
29
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:
SOUTH
SYS
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.
EAST
SYS
The radio can be programmed to wrap around from one end of a list to the other end or to stop at the ends.
11.3
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.
SEL SYS
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.
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.
11.4
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.
30
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.
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.
MENU
YYYYYYYY
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).

SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION
In the following description of SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION, the term group is used for
both group and channel.
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.
11.6.1
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.
11.6.2
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.
36
METHOD 3
11.7
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.
LAST SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL RECALL
This feature, enabled through ProGrammer, allows the user to recall the last selected system/group after an
emergency or home function or system/group key function. For example, if the Home button (preprogrammed) 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.
37
12 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.
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.
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.
12.2
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.
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 10 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.
12.3
CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT (EDACS ONLY)
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.
38
Emergency and Special Call are not operational during conventional failsoft. In addition,
the g control will not operate.
12.4
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.
12.4.1
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.
12.4.2
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.
12.5
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.
12.5.1
Wide Area System Scan
IP
The M7100 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.
39
12.5.2
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 preprogrammed 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.
12.5.3
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.
12.5.4
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.
12.5.5
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.
12.5.6
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.
12.5.7
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.
40
12.6
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.
12.6.1
1.
2.
Adding Groups to a Scan List
With scan operation turned off, select the desired group to add to the selected Trunked system
group scan list.
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.
12.6.2
1.
Deleting Groups from a Scan List
With scan operation turned off, select the desired group to delete from the selected trunked
system's group scan list.
41
2.
3.
Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current status of the group is
displayed for a time-out period.
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.
12.6.3
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.
12.6.4
Turning Scan On
1. Toggle scan operation by pressing k. The SCAN indicator will turn on when the radio is
scanning.
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.
12.6.5
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.
12.6.6
Turning Scan Off
Toggle scan operation off by pressing k. The radio will resume operation on the selected
group.
42
12.7
INDIVIDUAL CALLS
12.7.1
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.
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.
43
12.7.2
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.
12.7.3
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.
12.8
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.
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.

TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS
12.9.1
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.
12.9.2
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.
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).
12.9.3
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
45
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 the
keypad. This method sends DTMF tones during individual, telephone
interconnect, trunked group, or conventional channel calls. Anytime the PTT
button 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 the
overdial digits. Press PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the number needs
to be transmitted again it must be selected or entered again (this prevents
unwanted numbers from being sent the next time the PTT button is pressed during
the call).
This overdial select/entry mode remains active until the call is dropped, cleared, or m is
pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing
p.
12.9.4
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.
12.10
MOBILE DATA
IP
The M7100 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.
46
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).
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.
12.10.1
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.

47
12.10.4
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.
12.10.5
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 preprogrammed 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.
•

12.10.6
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:
48
•
The c (System Model) or C (Scan Model) button is pressed.
•

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.
12.11.1
Status Operation
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the EDACS or
P25 Trunked 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 lowpitched 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.
12.11.2
Message Operation
Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to an EDACS or
P25 Trunked 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 preprogrammed 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
49
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.
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.
12.12
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.
12.13
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.
12.13.1
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.
12.14
RADIO TEXTLINK OPERATION (EDACS ONLY)

PAGE (P25 TRUNKED ONLY)
Page sends a PING message to a radio and functions similar to Individual Call.
The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete a Page.
1.
To select a previously stored individual, select the Page mode from the menu 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. On System model radios, the individual’s unit ID can also be entered directly from the
keypad.
2.
Press the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling on the control channel. On the calling
radio, 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. If the receiving radio receives the Page and
responds, both radios will emit three high-pitched tones. The receiving radio will also display PAGE
and the ID of the calling radio.
51
13 CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION
The radio functions in the conventional mode when using conventional communications channels (nontrunked). 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.
13.1
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.
13.2
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.
13.3
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:
52
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.
13.3.1
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.
13.3.2
Tone Encode Transmission
In conventional mode two keys can be defined to be tone encode triggers. If either one of the preprogrammed tone encode triggers is pressed, a pre-programmed tone sequence will be transmitted
on the current system and channel. (See Section 13.3 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.
13.4
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
53
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.
13.4.1
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.
13.4.2
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 timeout 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.
13.4.3
Nuisance Delete
A channel can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected channel, by
pressing > twice 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.
13.5

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.
•
54
The radio will continue scanning if a new channel is selected when scan is ON.
•
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.
13.6
TURNING SCAN OFF
Toggle the scan operation OFF by pressing k. The radio will resume operation on the selected
channel.
13.7
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.
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.
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.

If the c key is pressed before the time-out, the squelch level will not be updated and the
original value will be restored.
TYPE 99 DECODE
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.
Type 99 is automatically disabled when Scan is enabled.

15 TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE
OPERATION
15.1
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.
15.2
DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION
(ProVoice/Aegis/Voice Guard)
15.2.1
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.
Current ProVoice Conventional operation is for talk-around mode only.

15.2.2
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 nonencrypted. 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.
15.2.3
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
61
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
15.2.4
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.
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.
15.2.4.1
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 (Not Available on P25 Trunked or
Conventional radios):
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.
Voice Guard encryption is not supported by M7100IP Series mobile radios.

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 Key Loader
into the radio before private communications can continue. (Refer to Key Manager TQS3416
Administration and Software Release Notes for further information.)
15.2.5
15.2.5.1
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 PVT key light
(System Model) or OPTION key light (Scan Model) will flash, 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.
15.2.5.2
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.
63
15.2.5.3
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
in different modes (clear, digital, private), only the first occurrence of the group will be used.
15.2.6
15.2.6.1
Conventional Operation
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.
15.2.6.2
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).
15.2.6.3
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
Guard, then both are sent in clear mode and the radio switches to private mode. Emergency GSTAR data burst is transmitted in clear mode.
15.3
DUAL CONTROL OPERATION
IP
The M7100 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.
15.3.1
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.
15.3.2
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.
64
15.3.2.1
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.
15.3.2.2
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.
15.3.3
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,
control is switched to the idle controller and any current transmission from the previously active
controller is terminated.
15.3.4
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.
15.3.5
Dual Control Audio
Audio output during dual control operation is a pre-programmed function. Default operation
routes audio only to the active controller.
15.4
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.
65
15.4.1
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. For example, if radio #1 is selected, pressing the radio selection button will select radio #2.
Similarly, radio #1 will be selected if the radio selection button is pressed when radio #2 was
selected.
15.4.1.1
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.
15.4.1.1.1
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).
15.4.1.1.2
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).
15.4.1.2
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.
15.4.1.2.1
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.
15.4.1.2.2
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.
15.4.1.3
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.
15.4.1.4
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.
66
Note that the PA and External Speaker functions operate only on the Master
radio.
15.4.1.5
Multiple Radio and Data Operation
Only the master radio supports mobile data operation.
15.5
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.
15.6
INTERCONNECT CALL (SYSTEM MODEL ONLY)
To send a manually entered telephone interconnect call:
1.
2.
Select a channel in the radio system that has telephone interconnect capability. The radio should
be programmed for DTMF operation on this channel.
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.
15.7
To return to the primary function of the keypad, press k. To continue with another
interconnect call, repeat steps 3 through 8.

GLOSSARY
Agency
An agency is composed of multiple fleets. Units can be programmed to initiate agency
calls 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 base
dispatch 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 to
access 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 voice
communications.
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. conventional
system).
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 mobile
and portable radios. All units in the same group will receive a dispatch call placed by
any one unit in the group (Trunked Mode only).
Group Scan
Programming that allows the radio to monitor many groups simultaneously (multigroup 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 must
be addressed on a priority basis.
Site
Controller
The computer controlled radio equipment at the repeater site that controls a trunking
system.
System
(area)
The terms "system" and "area" are used interchangeably to refer to the particular group
of station repeaters currently providing service to the radio.
System
Manager
A computer that performs the databasing and system monitoring for the site controller.
System
Scan
A programmed feature to scan (monitor activity on) separate trunked systems and
receive calls on any of these systems (Trunked Mode Only).
69
Talk-around Mode
Also referred to as "direct mode," talk-around provides a direct unit-to-unit short-range
communications link. It is intended to maintain communications outside of the main
system coverage area.
Telephone
InterConnect
This feature allows the user to initiate or receive telephone calls through the radio if
the system is configured for this operation (Trunked Mode Only).
Trunked
Group
A radio communications path shared by two or more users.
Trunked
Operation
Trunked Operation refers to the use of a set of radio frequency channels by multiple
user groups. By using high-speed digital data, the radio goes to an unused channel
when a call is initiated and responds only to calls in the same user group. In this way,
conversation privacy between user groups is assured.
Trunked
Radio
System
A radio system in which a limited number of radio channels are dynamically allocated
to groups of people for communication purposes.
Trunked
System
A set of one or more trunked groups.
T99
Type 99 - a method of opening mute for selective page operations using sequential
tones.
Wide Area
Encode
A programmed option that ensures all system-scanning mobile and portable radios
have time to lock onto the call before the initiating unit is allowed to talk.

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.
