MM-012099-001 9 SAFETY SECTION

MM-012099-001 10 1 SAFETY CONVENTIONS The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warning elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. M/A-COM, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these standards. The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully understood or met. CAUTION The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the equipment or severely degrade the equipment performance. The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve system performance or clarify a process or procedure. The ESD symbol calls attention to procedures, practices, or the like, which could expose equipment to the effects of Electro-Static Discharge. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent ESD when handling circuit modules. WARNING - The electrical hazard symbol indicates there is an electrical hazard present.

MM-012099-001 11 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION The M/A-COM P5400 portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment. The P5400 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. 2.1 RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES CAUTION To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use with this radio. (Refer to Table 6-1.) • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button. • Always transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure. • ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 2-1.)

MM-012099-001 12 • As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, M/A-COM recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side. Table 2-1: RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) RADIO FREQUENCY Body Face 378-430 MHz 1.1 cm 2.5 cm The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 2.2 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY During transmissions, this M/A-COM radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

MM-012099-001 13 3 OPERATING TIPS Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit. In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna. Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries. 3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION For optimum audio clarity at the receiving radio(s), hold the portable radio approximately two inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message. Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not hold when transmitting a message. Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on! 3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. (Refer to Table 6-1.) 3.1.2 Electronic Devices CAUTION RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. is shielded from RF energy. However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!

MM-012099-001 14 3.1.3 Aircraft • Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! • Use it on the ground only with crew permission. • DO NOT use while in-flight!! 3.1.4 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) 3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate sparks.

MM-012099-001 15 4 BATTERIES The P5400 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium Ion (Li Ion) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of battery. Do not disassemble or modify Lithium Ion battery packs. The Lithium Ion battery packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these features be disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or, ignite. If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician immediately. 4.1 CONDITIONING BATTERY PACKS 4.1.1 Conditioning NiMH Battery Packs Condition a new NiMH battery before putting into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details. CAUTION Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in shortened performance by the battery. 4.1.2 Conditioning NiCD Battery Packs A new NiCD battery does not require conditioning before use. However, M/A-COM recommends periodically conditioning NiCD batteries to avoid the memory effect which results when a NiCD battery is repeatedly charged and not fully discharged, further resulting in a lower voltage and a lower capacity. Fortunately, both nominal voltage and capacity are restored through battery conditioning. Conditioning requires fully charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details.

MM-012099-001 16 CAUTION Always use M/A-COM authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty. 4.1.3 Additional Information For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio batteries or establishing a battery maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367 which may be ordered by calling toll free 1-800-368-3277, then select option 7. 4.2 CHARGING BATTERY PACKS Battery chargers are available from M/A-COM with nominal charge times. Combinations include single and multi-position charge units. M/A-COM chargers are specifically designed for charging nickel-based and lithium ion battery packs. The chargers are chemistry-specific for the battery packs and automatically adjust the charging profiles accordingly. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for specific operating instructions. 4.2.1 Charging Guidelines Observe the following guidelines when charging a battery pack: • Avoid high temperature during charging. • Discontinue use if the charger is overheating. • Only charge M/A-COM battery packs using a charger approved for use by M/A-COM. • Do not leave batteries in the charger indefinitely. For best results leave the battery in the charger for two to six hours after the Green Ready LED comes on. Then place the battery pack into service and fully discharge (as indicated by the radio low battery warning) before re-charging. If any faults are encountered while charging the battery pack, consult the charger’s manual to determine the cause and possible corrective action. 4.3 BATTERY PACK USAGE Both Nickel-based and Lithium ion batteries vary in capacity and life cycle. For instance, NiCd batteries have a longer life cycle than NiMH batteries whereas NiMH batteries have a larger capacity. However, both Nickel-based and Lithium ion type batteries require basic usage guidelines be followed in order to optimize the battery runtime or shift life. 4.3.1 Usage Guidelines The following guidelines will help optimize the battery runtime or shift life: • Ensure Nickle-based battery packs are fully discharged (as indicated by the radio low battery warning) before re-charging. Full discharge is not required for Lithium Ion battery packs. • Periodically condition Nickel-based battery packs. The frequency should be determined based on usage patterns (refer to ECR-7367). If the battery is fully discharged (to radio Low Battery warning) during routine use, the frequency of conditioning may be reduced. Lithium Ion batteries do not suffer from memory-effect and therefore do not require conditioning.

MM-012099-001 17 Do not leave any M/A-COM rechargeable batteries in a charger for more than a few days. 4.4 CHANGING THE BATTERY PACK 4.4.1 Removing the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned OFF. CAUTION Although the P5400 has been designed to tolerate changing the battery pack without turning power off, M/A-COM, Inc. recommends turning the radio off before changing battery packs to ensure safety and best operation. 1.

MM-012099-001 19 PRODUCT INFORMATION

MM-012099-001 20 5 INTRODUCTION The P5400 series portable radio is available in two models: the P5450 Scan model with a limited 6-button front-mounted keypad and the P5470 System model with a 15-button DTMF front-mounted keypad. The UHF P5400 portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications. It is designed to support multiple operating modes including: • EDACS® or ProVoice™ Trunked mode • P25 Trunked Mode • P25 Digital Conventional Mode • Conventional Analog mode The P5400 portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be added with software updates. The P5400 supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features, including voice group calls, priority scanning, emergency calls, late call entry, and dynamic reconfiguration. It performs autonomous roaming for wide area applications. High quality voice coding and robust audio components assure speech clarity. In the trunked modes, the user selects a communications “operating” system (i.e., EDACS, ProVoice, or P25) and group. While communicating in a trunked mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system controller (e.g. a CSD in an EDACS system). This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels. In Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel. A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair. The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the radio’s programming, and the particular radio system. Most features described in this manual can be enabled through programming. Consult your System Administrator for the particular features programmed into your P5400. 5.1 WATER RESISTANCE The P5400 series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet MIL-STD-810F specifications for wind driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.

BLD TIME Time host (ARM) code was built. 8.18 DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION Digital voice programmed systems have two (2) different voice modes: clear (analog) and digital. The voice modes are programmed on a per-group basis within each trunked system. 8.18.1 Clear Mode The Clear Mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and non-encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can be monitored easily by unauthorized persons. Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive digital messages. 8.18.2 Digital Mode The Digital Mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice signals. Digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Message trunked group calls and individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in the mode in which they were received assuming the

MM-012099-001 46 call or hang time is still active. Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if the digital mode is disabled or inoperative. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time on the working channel. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the 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 is transmitted in the mode defined by the system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID being called is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID. The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode. 8.18.3 Private Mode The Private Mode allows the radio to transmit encrypted messages and receive clear or private transmissions. The radio transmits private if the group/channel is programmed for private operation and forced operation is pre-programmed. If autoselect operation is pre-programmed and the radio is in the Private Mode, the radio transmits in the mode of the received call if the hang time is active. If no hang time is active, the radio transmits private. Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radio using a cryptographic Keyloader. Up to seven (7) different cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can be transferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio. An individual key is automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radio programming. Groups and channels within the digital system can be programmed for keys 1-7 (private). Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for private systems. The bank is specified per system. When operating on a group or channel programmed for Private Mode, all transmissions are private transmissions and the radio receives clear and private signals. The status icon is displayed when the Private Mode is enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select capability, the mode may be toggled between private and clear with the key, then following the selection mode rules. Radios programmed for forced private operation do not allow a change of the transmit mode. 8.18.3.1 Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number To Display the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number for either the system encryption key (for special call such as individual, phone, all, agency or fleet) or the group/channel key (for group or conventional calls), perform the following procedure: 1. Press the button. 2. Use the or button to select "DISP KEY." 3. Use the or button to toggle between displaying the system key (Figure 8-9) or the group/channel key (Figure 8-10). Figure 8-9: System Encryption Key Display

MM-012099-001 47 Figure 8-10: Group/Channel Encryption Key Display 8.18.3.2 Key Zero All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing the button and while still pressing this button, press and hold the OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of beeps will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO. If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Keyloader into the radio before private communications may continue. 8.18.4 Private Operation 8.18.4.1 Receiving an Encrypted Call When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it will be decrypted, the icon is displayed, the receiver will unsquelch and the message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur the selected group or channel must be programmed for private operation and the correct cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio. 8.18.4.2 Transmitting an Encrypted Call 1. Select the desired group or channel. 2. Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing key, then follow the selection mode rules. On a System radio, the key can be used to toggle the Private Mode ON/OFF. When Private Mode is enabled, the icon is displayed. 3. If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be enabled on power up. Also, the Private Mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio. If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, PVT DIS will be displayed if an attempt is made to enable private transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in Private Mode. If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY# will be displayed and the call will not be transmitted. 4. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access tone will be heard when the PTT button is pressed. 8.18.4.3 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 autoselect, it will transmit back in the same mode it received the call. For example, if a clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the same group was available in private and entered in the scan list, it can receive clear and private calls, provided autoselect was programmed in the radio. The user can select transmitting on the scanned or selected

MM-012099-001 48 group. If a group is entered in the scan list more than once, and in different modes (clear, digital, or private), only the first occurrence of the group will be used. Table 8-6: Transmit/Receive Mode Compatibility for Digital Voice Operation GROUP/CHANNEL PROGRAMMING (TRANSMIT) CLEAR RECEIVE DIGITAL RECEIVE PRIVATE RECEIVE CLEAR Yes No No DIGITAL Yes Yes No PRIVATE Yes No Yes* *assumes the proper cryptographic key is loaded Conventional Digital or encrypted channels require Channel Guard on the channel to operate correctly.

MM-012099-001 49 4. Press the key a second time to set the group to Priority 2. A is displayed on line three. 5. Press a third time to set the group to Priority 1. A is displayed on line three. The priority level section sequence only advances the group to the next high priority level and stops at priority level 1. To select a lower priority level, the group must be deleted from the scan list and then added back to the scan list. Each new group added to the scan list starts at the lowest priority. If the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups are already set and a new group is assigned as Priority 1 or Priority 2, the previously assigned group will change to non-priority scanning. One of the following messages may be momentarily displayed. SCAN DIS The radio is not programmed to scan. FIXED P1 A Priority 1 group has been pre-programmed into the radio. A new Priority 1 group cannot be selected. FIXD LST A fixed scan list has been pre-programmed into the radio. It is not possible to changethe list without reprogramming the radio.

The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered OFF and then powered ON. 8.20 SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled during radio operation. The System Scan state will be maintained through system changes but will default to ON when the radio is powered ON. Enable/Disable via Menu Selection Press and then use the or buttons to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Enable/Disable via Pre-Programmed Keypad Key Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

MM-012099-001 51 8.20.1 Wide Area System Scanning The P5400 series radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone. 8.20.2 Priority System Scan The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control (unless the ProScan™ algorithm is enabled, as explained in the following sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or meets the predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system. 8.20.2.1 Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins to wide area system scan, the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area scan list. 8.20.2.2 When ProScan is Enabled The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the criteria defined by the controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan Options dialog box. See Section 8.20.3 for more information on ProScan. 8.20.3 ProScan The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is an improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed to replace ProSound™ scanning. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a new system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops below a predefined level. This is accomplished by enabling each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compares it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list. (The signal quality metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Control Channel Verification (CCV) measurements.) When the selected system degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone (if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, the radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found. 8.21 EMERGENCY OPERATION The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency system and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency has been cleared.

MM-012099-001 52 8.21.1 Receiving an Emergency Call When receiving an Emergency Call on the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and is displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is cleared. 8.21.2 Declaring an Emergency Call Perform the following steps to send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally pre-programmed group). 1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received. 2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio has auto keyed (see Table 8-3) and is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two in the display until the emergency is cleared. 3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. and momentarily turn ON. 4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete. To clear the emergency first press and hold the button. While continuing to hold the button, press the EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed to clear emergencies.) 8.22 INDIVIDUAL CALLS 8.22.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the button or the individual call mode is entered. The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels. If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call will automatically be directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio will return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of the LCD. To respond after the call-back time-out, press the key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an individual call back to the original caller. The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

Repeat steps 1-4 to store additional numbers, to change numbers already stored, or to change the storage location of a number. 8.25 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION The Status and Message operations allow for the transmission of a pre-programmed status or a pre-programmed message to an EDACS site. Each Status and Message is assigned an ID then cross-referenced with the representative status condition (“Off Duty,” for example) or a message (“Call home”). In addition, Status conditions can also be associated with a programmable Menu entry (required for second method of transmitting a Status condition (see Section 8.25.1).

MM-012099-001 58 8.25.1 Status Operation P5470 Model Radio One of two methods can be used to transmit a status condition. METHOD 1: 1. Press the key, then use the or buttons to scroll to the pre-programmed status condition. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from the menu. 2. If STATUS is selected, you need to enter the number of the status condition youintend to transmit. If no status has been programmed for the selected number key,the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid selection will display the status for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in theradio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. METHOD 2: 1. Press the key. 2. Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 status condition key. If no status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will displayNO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the status condition to appear in the top line of the display and the status ID to appear in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in theradio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. View the currently selected status after it has been transmitted by pressing the key and then the key and then the button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status condition will flash in the display. The status selection can be changed by pressing a different status key 0 through 9, or the status operation can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2 . Both operations must be carried out prior to the time-out period. 8.25.2 Message Operation The following method can be used to transmit a Message using the Message Operation. 1. Press the key. 2.

A valid selection will permit the message to appear in the top line of the display and the message ID to appear in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time. The message selection can be changed by pressing a different message key 0 through 9, or the message operation can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2 . Both operations must be carried out prior to the pre-programmed time-out period. 8.26 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will

MM-012099-001 59 not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped. Pressing and holding the button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups. After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. 8.26.1 Emergency Operation If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic group. 8.27 MACRO KEY OPERATION Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro" keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input (i.e., keypad keys, OPTION buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed or when released. A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key is activated. For detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or administrator. 8.28 PORTABLE DATA The P5400 series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS Trunked configuration, permit both voice and data calls to be transmitted and received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio. Data communications is not supported in conventional mode. The radios can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232 compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio. Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or received). 8.28.1 Displays The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation: TX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call. RX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is receiving a data call. DATA OFF Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state.

BLD TIME Time host (ARM) code was built. 9.17 DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION Digital voice programmed systems have two (2) different voice modes: clear (analog) and digital. The voice modes are programmed on a per-channel basis within each conventional system. 9.17.1 Clear Mode The Clear Mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized. Clear mode transmissions can be monitored easily by unauthorized persons. Channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive digital signals. 9.17.2 Digital Mode The Digital Mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice signals. Digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in the mode in which they were received assuming the call or hang time is still active.

MM-012099-001 77 Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if the digital mode is disabled or inoperative. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the 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 is transmitted in the mode defined by the system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID being called is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID. The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode. 9.17.2.1 Scanned Group Calls Receiving a Scanned Group Call is the same as receiving a selected group call. During the scan hang time, if the radio was programmed for autoselect, it will transmit back in the same mode it received the call. For example, if a clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the same group was available in digital and entered in the scan list, it can receive clear and digital calls, provided autoselect was programmed in the radio. The user can choose to transmit on the scanned or selected group. If a group is entered in the scan list more than once and in different modes (clear and digital), only the first occurrence of the group will be used. Table 9-5: Transmit/Receive Mode Compatibility for Digital Voice Operation GROUP/CHANNEL PROGRAMMING (TRANSMIT) CLEAR RECEIVE DIGITAL RECEIVE CLEAR Yes No DIGITAL Yes Yes 9.18 RECEIVING A CALL 1. Select the desired conventional system/channel or turn scan ON and make sure desired channel is in scan list. 2.

MM-012099-001 80 10 P25 OPERATION Once a P25 system has been selected from the available systems on your P5400 series portable radio, the characteristics described in the following sections will govern operation. 10.1 TURNING ON THE RADIO 1. Power ON the radio by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise. A short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use. 2. The display shows the last selected system and group or a default system and group (depending on programming). 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 transmit and receive calls. 10.2 CONTROLS The radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button mounted on the top of the radio. Push-To-Talk and option buttons are mounted on the side. The front mounted keypad has six buttons on the P5450 Scan model and 15 buttons on the P5470 System Radio. 10.2.1 Buttons and Knobs This section describes the primary function of the button and knob controls. POWER ON-OFF VOLUME KNOB Applies power to and adjusts the receiver’s volume. Rotating the control clockwise applies power to the radio. A single alert tone (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is operational. Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. Minimum volume levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low volume setting. While adjusting the volume the display will momentarily indicate the volume level (i.e. VOL=31). The volume range is from a minimum programmed level of zero (displayed as OFF in the display) up to 31, which is the loudest level.CONTROL KNOB Selects systems or group/channels (depending on programming). This is a 16-position rotary knob. Note: A mechanical stop, which can limit the positions accessed, is shipped with the radio but must be installed. To install the mechanical stop, remove the voice group selection knob, loosen the set screw on the voice group selection knob metal base (using a 1.27 mm hex wrench), and remove the voice group selection knobmetal base. Replace the 16 channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the desired channel. Reinstall the voice group selection knob metal base, tighten the set screw, and reinstall the voice group selection knob. EMERGENCY/ HOME BUTTON Automatically selects the pre-programmed Group/System by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. It can also be used to declare an emergency by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button must be pre-programmed for either operation, but not both.

The voice modes are programmed on a per-group basis within each trunked system. 10.17.1 Clear Mode The Clear Mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and non-encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can be monitored easily by unauthorized persons. Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive digital messages. 10.17.2 Digital Mode The Digital Mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice signals. Digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Message trunked group calls and individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in the mode in which they were received assuming the

MM-012099-001 94 call or hang time is still active. Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if the digital mode is disabled or inoperative. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time on the working channel. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the 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 is transmitted in the mode defined by the system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID being called is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID. The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode. 10.17.3 Private Mode The Private Mode allows the radio to transmit encrypted messages and receive clear or private transmissions. The radio transmits private if the group/channel is programmed for private operation and forced operation is pre-programmed. If autoselect operation is pre-programmed and the radio is in the Private Mode, the radio transmits in the mode of the received call if the hang time is active. If no hang time is active, the radio transmits private. Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radio using a cryptographic Keyloader. Up to seven (7) different cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can be transferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio. An individual key is automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radio programming. Groups and channels within the digital system can be programmed for keys 1-7 (private). Up to 8 banks of 7 keys can be stored for private systems. The bank is specified per system. When operating on a group or channel programmed for Private Mode, all transmissions are private transmissions and the radio receives clear and private signals. The status icon is displayed when the Private Mode is enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select capability, the mode may be toggled between private and clear with the key, then following the selection mode rules. Radios programmed for forced private operation do not allow a change of the transmit mode. 10.17.3.1 Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number To Display the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number for either the system encryption key (for special call such as individual, phone, all, agency or fleet) or the group/channel key (for group or conventional calls), perform the following procedure: 4. Press the button. 5. Use the or button to select "DISP KEY." 6. Use the or button to toggle between displaying the system key (Figure 10-9) or the group/channel key (Figure 10-10). Figure 10-9: System Encryption Key Display

MM-012099-001 95 Figure 10-10: Group/Channel Encryption Key Display 10.17.3.2 Key Zero All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing the button and while still pressing this button, press and hold the OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of beeps will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO. If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Keyloader into the radio before private communications may continue. 10.17.4 Private Operation 10.17.4.1 Receiving an Encrypted Call When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it will be decrypted, the icon is displayed, the receiver will unsquelch and the message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur the selected group or channel must be programmed for private operation and the correct cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio. 10.17.4.2 Transmitting an Encrypted Call 1. Select the desired group or channel. 2. Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing key, then follow the selection mode rules. On a System radio, the key can be used to toggle the Private Mode ON/OFF. When Private Mode is enabled, the icon is displayed. 3. If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be enabled on power up. Also, the Private Mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio. If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, PVT DIS will be displayed if an attempt is made to enable private transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in Private Mode. If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY# will be displayed and the call will not be transmitted. 4. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access tone will be heard when the PTT button is pressed. 10.17.4.3 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 autoselect, it will transmit back in the same mode it received the call. For example, if a clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the same group was available in private and entered in the scan list, it can receive clear and private calls, provided autoselect was programmed in the radio. The user can select transmitting on the scanned or selected

MM-012099-001 96 group. If a group is entered in the scan list more than once, and in different modes (clear, digital, or private), only the first occurrence of the group will be used.

The current status of the group is displayed for a time-out period. 3. While the status is displayed, press to delete the group from the scan list. , ,or turns OFF. Any group that is not in a trunked system group scan list will show a "blank" for the time out period when it is the selected channel. 10.18.4 Nuisance Delete A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing the key (P5450 model) or the key (P5470 model) during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered OFF and then powered ON. 10.19 SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled during radio operation. The System Scan state will be maintained through system changes but will default to ON when the radio is powered ON. Enable/Disable via Menu Selection Press and then use the or buttons to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Enable/Disable via Pre-Programmed Keypad Key Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

MM-012099-001 99 10.19.1 Wide Area System Scanning The P5400 series radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone. 10.19.2 Priority System Scan The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control (unless the ProScan™ algorithm is enabled, as explained in the following sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or meets the predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system. 10.19.2.1 Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins to wide area system scan, the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area scan list. 10.19.2.2 When ProScan is Enabled The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the criteria defined by the controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan Options dialog box. See Section 8.20.3 for more information on ProScan. 10.19.3 ProScan The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is an improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed to replace ProSound™ scanning. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a new system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops below a predefined level. This is accomplished by enabling each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compares it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list. (The signal quality metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Control Channel Verification (CCV) measurements.) When the selected system degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone (if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, the radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found. 10.20 EMERGENCY OPERATION The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency system and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency has been cleared.

MM-012099-001 100 10.20.1 Receiving an Emergency Call When receiving an Emergency Call on the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and is displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is cleared. 10.20.2 Declaring an Emergency Call Perform the following steps to send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally pre-programmed group). 1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received. 2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio has auto keyed (see Table 8-3) and is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two in the display until the emergency is cleared. 3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. and momentarily turn ON. 4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete. To clear the emergency first press and hold the button. While continuing to hold the button, press the EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed to clear emergencies.) 10.21 INDIVIDUAL CALLS 10.21.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the button or the individual call mode is entered. The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels. If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call will automatically be directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio will return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of the LCD. To respond after the call-back time-out, press the key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an individual call back to the original caller. The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

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 the key until the display changes indicating that the number has been stored. Repeat steps 1-4 to store additional numbers, to change numbers already stored, or to change the storage location of a number. 10.24 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION The Status and Message operations allow for the transmission of a pre-programmed status or a pre-programmed message to an EDACS site. Each Status and Message is assigned an ID then cross-referenced with the representative status condition (“Off Duty,” for example) or a message (“Call home”). In addition, Status conditions can also be associated with a programmable Menu entry (required for second method of transmitting a Status condition (see Section 8.25.1).

MM-012099-001 106 10.24.1 Status Operation P5470 Model Radio One of two methods can be used to transmit a status condition. METHOD 1: 1. Press the key, then use the or buttons to scroll to the pre-programmed status condition. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from the menu. 2. If STATUS is selected, you need to enter the number of the status condition youintend to transmit. If no status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid selection will display the status for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in theradio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. METHOD 2: 1. Press the key. 2. Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 status condition key. If no status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will displayNO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the status condition to appear in the top line of the display and the status ID to appear in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in theradio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. View the currently selected status after it has been transmitted by pressing the key and then the key and then the button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status condition will flash in the display. The status selection can be changed by pressing a different status key 0 through 9, or the status operation can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2 . Both operations must be carried out prior to the time-out period. 10.24.2 Message Operation The following method can be used to transmit a Message using the Message Operation. 1. Press the key. 2. Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 pre-programmed “message” key. If no message has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the message to appear in the top line of the display and the message ID to appear in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time. The message selection can be changed by pressing a different message key 0 through 9, or the message operation can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2 . Both operations must be carried out prior to the pre-programmed time-out period. 10.25 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will

MM-012099-001 107 not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped. Pressing and holding the button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups. After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. 10.25.1 Emergency Operation If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic group. 10.26 MACRO KEY OPERATION Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro" keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input (i.e., keypad keys, OPTION buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed or when released. A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key is activated. For detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or administrator. 10.27 PORTABLE DATA The P5400 series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS Trunked configuration, permit both voice and data calls to be transmitted and received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio. Data communications is not supported in conventional mode. The radios can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232 compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio. Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or received). 10.27.1 Displays The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation: TX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call. RX DATA Appears on top line of display when the radio is receiving a data call. DATA OFF Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state.

MM-012099-001 108 DATA ON Appears for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the dataenabled state. 10.27.2 DATA OFF Operation The radio can be placed in the data disabled state by any of the following methods. When the data state is disabled, DATA OFF appears on the top line of the display. • Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone will sound. • Pressing Option Button 1 (if pre-programmed as “no data” key). Alert tone will sound. • Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key. Refer to previous bullet. 10.27.3 DATA ON Operation The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled).

2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION The M/A-COM P5400 portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment. The P5400 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans: • FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields. • American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz. • American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. 2.1 RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES CAUTION To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: • DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use with this radio. • DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button. • Always transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure. • ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. • As noted in Table 1-1 ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.1 cm (0.43 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your 4

transmission, M/A-COM recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to one side. Table 1-1: RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) RADIO FREQUENCY Body Face 378-430 MHz 1.1 cm 2.5 cm The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 2.2 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY During transmissions, this M/A-COM radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 3 OPERATING TIPS Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit. In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna. Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries. 3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION For optimum audio clarity at the receiving radio(s), hold the portable radio approximately three inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message. Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on. 5

3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement Always keep the antenna at least 0.43 inches (1.1 cm.) away from the body and 1.0 inch (2.5 cm.) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if skin comes into contact with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations. Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. 3.1.2 Electronic Devices CAUTION RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off! 3.1.3 Aircraft Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! • Use it on the ground only with crew permission. • DO NOT use while in-flight!! 3.1.4 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) 6

3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate sparks. 4 OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES A complete list of Options and Accessories approved for use with the P5400 portable radio can be found online in the Operator’s Manual MM-012099-001 at www.macom-wireless.com. Also reference the maintenance manual or M/A-COM’s Products and Services Catalog for all available options and accessories, including those items that do not adversely affect the RF energy exposure. Always use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. CAUTION Always use the correct options and accessories (battery, antenna, speaker/mic, etc.) for the radio. Immersion rated options must be used with an immersion rated radio. Intrinsically safe options must be used with intrinsically safe radios. 5 BATTERIES The P5400 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium Ion (Li Ion) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of battery. Do not disassemble or modify Lithium Ion battery packs. The Lithium Ion battery packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these features be disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak acid, overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or, ignite. 7

If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician immediately. 5.1 CONDITIONING NIMH BATTERY PACKS Condition a new NiMH battery before putting into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details. CAUTION Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in shortened performance by the battery. 5.2 CONDITIONING NICD BATTERY PACKS A new NiCD battery does not require conditioning before use. However, M/A-COM recommends periodically conditioning NiCD batteries to avoid the memory effect which results when a NiCD battery is repeatedly charged and not fully discharged, further resulting in a lower voltage and a lower capacity. Fortunately, both nominal voltage and capacity are restored through battery conditioning. Conditioning requires fully charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details. 5.3 CONDITIONING LI ION BATTERY PACKS Lithium Ion battery packs do not suffer from memory effect and therefore do not require conditioning. CAUTION Always use M/A-COM authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty. 5.4 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio batteries or establishing a battery maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367 which may be ordered by calling toll free 1-800-368-3277, then select option 7. 8

5.5 BATTERY DISPOSAL CAUTION In no instance should a battery be incinerated. Disposing of a battery by burning will cause an explosion. RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK DISPOSAL – The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
