Introduction P110 Portable Radios

Introduction

Welcome To The Motorola Radius P110 Radio

The Radius P110 Portable Radio is a sophisticated state-

of-the-art unit. It incorporates the latest technology avail-

able in two-way radio communications.

The use of microcomputer technology makes changing

radio characteristics such as operating frequencies and

squelch codes both economical and fast. Any computer

equipped Radius dealer can easily reprogram your radio's

operating characteristics, or your radio can be “cloned” from

a radio already programmed to your desired frequencies

and codes.

The P110 radio meets tough environmental demands while

providing cost effective and reliable communications. It

meets the U.S. Government Military Standards 810C, D

and E for low pressure, high temperature, low temperature,

temperature shock, solar radiation, rain, humidity, salt fog,

dust, vibration, and shock. The P110 radio also meets the

Electronic Industry Association RS316B electrical and

mechanical specifications. The Motorola Accelerated Life

Test (ALT) assures that possible failures brought on by field

stress and abuse are identified and designed out of your

radio before it reaches your hands.

All of these features provide for better, yet more cost effec-

tive communications for you.

Alert Tone Indicators P110 Portable Radios

Alert Tone Indicators

Power-Up

Each time the radio is turned on, a microcomputer and syn-

thesizer self-test occurs. A high pitched alert tone is gener-

ated for approximately 1/8 second to indicate that the

microcomputer and synthesizer are functioning properly. A

second low pitched tone is generated if the start-up test is

not successful.

Transmit on Blank or Receive-

Only Channels

Pressing the PTT button while

tuned to a blank or “receive-

only” channel causes an alert

tone. The tone continues as

long as the PTT button is

depressed. The radio transmit-

ter is not enabled.

Transmit Inhibition Busy Channel with Busy Channel

Lockout

Pressing the PTT button during a “busy channel” condition

(other than your PL/DPL group) generates a continuous

busy tone that lasts as long as the button is depressed.

Time-Out Timer

The time-out timer limits the

amount of transmission time

to a preset length (off, 30 or

60 seconds). At the end of

this time an alert tone indi-

cates that your transmission

has been cut off. The alert

will continue as long as the

PTT switch is depressed.

Operation P110 Portable Radios

Operation

To Power-Up

Rotate the volume control 1/2 turn clock-

wise to turn on the radio. A power-up

alert tone is generated for approximately

1/8 second to indicate that the radio has

passed a self-test of the microcomputer.

NOTE

If the short power-up alert tone is not gener-

ated, or if a second low alert tone is generated

(indicating corrupted radio programming), turn

the radio off, check the battery (charge or

replace if necessary), and turn the radio back

on again. If the power-up alert tone is still not

generated, a fault exists in the radio. Contact

your local Motorola Radius dealer.

To Receive

1. Set the channel selector to the

desired channel position.

2. Listen for a transmission and adjust the volume control

to a comfortable listening level. If no transmission is

heard, depress and hold the volume control button to

unsquelch the radio and adjust the volume to a com-

fortable listening level.

3. The radio is now set to receive all calls on the selected

frequency.

4. If you wish to monitor a channel (disable PL/DPL) press

the side mounted control button. If programmed as a

Monitor Button, the LED glows yellow for 4 seconds to

confirm that the coded squelch is disabled. Any time

the PTT button is pressed when the P110 is in the mon-

itor mode (disable PL/DPL), the LED temporarily glows

yellow to remind you that this state is active. The radio

remains in the monitor mode until the control button is

pressed again, to reverse the state.

P110 Portable Radios Operation

5. If programmed as a Volume Set Button (manual moni-

tor), the radio has the ability to monitor until the button

is released. While pressed, a “rushing noise” will be

present which indicates the current level setting of the

volume control.

NOTE

All P110 radio models have an internal squelch

setting which is adjusted at the factory. The

squelch level setting is not a user-operated con-

trol; however, it may be reprogrammed using

the Radio Service Software available at your

local Motorola Radius dealer.

To Transmit

1. Set the channel selector to the desired channel position.

2. Do not interrupt another user. Listen for activity on your

channel. If the channel on which you are transmitting is

programmed to receive PL/DPL, momentarily depress

the control button to listen for channel activity. The

channel must be clear before transmitting.

3. While holding the radio in a vertical position with the

speaker-microphone grille two to three inches from

your mouth, press the PTT button on the side of the

radio and speak slowly and clearly into the grille area.

When finished transmitting, release the PTT button to

receive. When the PTT button is depressed, the LED

glows red and remains on for the entire length of the

transmission, and turns off when the PTT button is

released.

NOTE

When the PTT button is depressed (and as long

as the PTT button remains depressed), The

battery voltage is automatically monitored and if

the voltage is low, the LED flashes red to alert

you of the low battery condition. In addition, a

double alert tone is sounded when the PTT but-

ton is released.

Operation with Standard Features P110 Portable Radios

Operation with Standard Features

To fit your particular needs, a number of features are avail-

able to enhance the operation of your P110 radio. These

capability features are described for you in this section.

Time-Out Timer

The Time-Out Timer (T.O.T) feature alerts you if the trans-

mitter is keyed for a long period. This feature prevents chan-

nel tie-up and excess battery drain in case of an inadvertent

keying of the transmitter. The radio operates normally in the

receive mode with the T.O.T. feature. However, in the trans-

mit mode, a single transmission (uninterrupted depression

of the PTT button) “times-out” after 30 or 60 seconds and

the radio reverts back to the receive mode, even with the

PTT button remaining depressed. After the 30 or 60 second

time out, a continuous alert tone is generated in the receive

mode until the PTT button is released.

Volume Set

When programmed as a Vol-

ume Set button, the Control

button will initiate the volume

set feature. This gives the

radio the ability to monitor the

current radio volume level

whenever this button is

pressed. A “rushing noise” is

present for the duration of the

button press that indicates the

current level setting of the vol-

ume control.

March, 1996 6880902Z28-E 17

P110 Portable Radios Operation with Standard Features

Busy Channel Lockout

Busy Channel Lockout is a privacy feature that prevents the

radio from listening to or transmitting over conversations

outside its talkgroup, keeping lines of communication clear.

Whenever the radio is not allowed to talk, you will hear busy

tone if you attempt to transmit. The radio will be allowed to

transmit:

1. when the channel is clear

2. during the group's repeater hang time, until a carrier

drop is seen

3. when receiving transmissions from your own group

(Common PL/DPL code).

Whenever a channel is programmed for PL/DPL busy chan-

nel lockout, pressing the Control button does not put the

radio into the carrier squelch mode. This means that the

radios with PL/DPL busy channel lockout programmed can-

not monitor or listen to the other groups' transmissions. Fur-

thermore, the volume set function is also disabled on any

channel that is preprogrammed as a PL/DPL busy channel

lockout channel.

On carrier squelch channels, Transmit Inhibit is available to

prohibit transmissions when any carrier is present.

P110 Portable Radios Optional Enhancements

Optional Enhancements

(Not Available on 2 Channel Models)

Channel Scan

This optional feature allows you to monitor a number of chan-

nels. The receiver checks each channel in a preprogrammed

list for activity (up to 7 channels on the 8 channel model).

Two types of channel scan are offered in the P110; non-prior-

ity and priority scan. Both types of channel scan are available

with PL/DPL operation. To initiate the scan feature, rotate the

channel selector switch to the channel in which scan is pro-

grammed. If a conversation is initiated on any of the channels

that the radio is scanning, the radio stops on the active chan-

nel and you can listen to the conversation.

NOTE

The P110 scan list is not operator selectable;

however, it may be reprogrammed through the

Radio Service Software available at your local

Motorola Radius dealer.

• Non Priority Channel Scan

With this type of scan operation, no one scan channel has pri-

ority over another. The scanner stops on the first scan channel

with activity, and when the activity is over and a 3-second

"hang-time" has expired, proceeds to the next scan channel.

• Priority Channel Scan

Any one of the radio's programmed channels may be desig-

nated as the priority channel. Whenever activity occurs on

the priority channel, the scanner automatically stops there

and the priority alert tone is heard. Even if you are listening

to another channel in the scan list, the radio automatically

goes to the priority channel when there is activity.

• PL/DPL Channel Scan

Private-Line operation is offered with priority and non-

priority channel scan. With this mode of scanning opera-

tion, the scanner stops on only the scan channels coded

with the proper PL/DPL tone if PL/DPL signalling is active

when you initiate scan.

NOTE

If the monitor mode is not active when the scan-

ning feature is initiated, the radio performs a PL

type of scan. If the monitor mode is active when

the scanning feature is initiated, the radio per-

forms a CSQ type of scan.

20 6880902Z28-E March, 1996

Optional Enhancements P110 Portable Radios

• Talkback Scan

This is an option of the channel scan features listed on

page 19 that is used when the PTT button is pressed

when scanning has stopped on a channel. When transmit

or receive activity ceases on a scan channel, a "hang

time" of approximately 3 seconds occurs prior to the radio

resuming scan for other channel activity. This "hang time"

gives you time to receive or respond to a call before scan-

ning resumes. The "hang-time" is programmable through

the Radio Service Software available at your local

Motorola Radius Dealer.

• Designated Channel Scan (Home Revert)

Pressing the PTT button while the radio is scanning

causes the radio to transmit on the preprogrammed desig-

nated channel location. This channel location is program-

mable through the Radio Service Software available at

your local Motorola Radius Dealer.

NOTE

If both Designated Channel Scan and Talkback

Scan are selected, the radio transmits on the active

channel. If however, there are no active channels,

the radio transmits on the Designated Channel.

• Scan Talkback Tone

The Scan Talkback Tone feature enables you to find the

last active channel received during scan mode. A beep is

emitted when the channel selector knob is rotated to the

last channel received during scan.

• Scan Nuisance Delete

When a conversation occurs and it is not your priority

channel or designated scan channel, you can temporarily

eliminate this channel from the

scan list by pressing the side

Control button (if the Control but-

ton is programmed for Scan Nui-

sance Delete). To add the deleted

channel back to the pre-pro-

grammed scan list, you must exit

and reenter the scan function.

NOTE

The Volume Set feature is replaced whenever

the side control button is programmed to oper-

ate the Scan Nuisance Delete feature.

P110 Portable Radios Optional Enhancements

Signalling Enhancements

Quik-Call II Decoding

Call Alert

Call Alert works similarly to tone-only pagers. When a Call

Alert (page) is received, a series of 4 beep decode tones

are heard while the LED flashes yellow. The LED continues

flashing yellow and alert tone continues until the call alert is

acknowledged by the radio. If you transmit by pushing the

PTT button or change the rotary channel selector while a

Call Alert signal is in progress, the LED stops flashing and

the Call Alert tone is disabled.

Voice Selective Call

This feature operates like a standard pager providing a one-

time voice message. When a Voice Selective Call is

received by the radio, a one-time 2 beep decode tone is

heard while the LED flashes yellow. The radio unmutes and

the voice message is heard. The LED continues flashing

yellow while the voice message is heard. The Voice Selec-

tive Call feature does not require any action to acknowledge

the message and after the transmission is completed, the

radio returns to normal operation.

MDC-1200 Encoding

PTT ID

When on a channel with the PTT ID feature, the radio trans-

mits an identification code (unit ID) to the base station, indi-

cating which portable is in operation. This code is sent

whenever the PTT button is pressed. A sidetone is heard as

the ID is being transmitted; when the tone ends, start your

voice message in the standard manner. The LED glows red

during the time that the ID is sent out.

Signalling and Channel Scan

Signalling and channel scan are compatible in the P110

radio. However, during scan operation, a Voice Selective

Call on a particular channel could be missed since the radio

may not be checking that channel when the Voice Selective

Call is being sent.

It is recommended that priority scan be selected and the sig-

nalling channel be designated the priority channel to improve

the likelihood that the Voice Selective Call is received.

Battery Information P110 Portable Radios

Battery Information

The P110 radio receives its

power (7.5V DC) from a

rechargeable nickel-cadmium

battery as listed in the accesso-

ries section. These batteries,

designed specifically for use in

the P110 radio, are a safe,

dependable power source.

Proper care of the battery will

ensure its effectiveness and

allow for peak performance of

the radio.

Recharging Nickel-

Cadmium Batteries

Recharge the battery before use

to ensure optimum capacity and

performance. The battery was

designed to be used only with a

Motorola P110 charger. Charg-

ing in non-Motorola equipment

may lead to battery damage and

void the battery warranty.

NOTE

When charging a battery that is attached to a

radio, always turn the radio off to ensure a full

charge.

Charging Temperature

The battery should be about 77° (room

temperature) whenever possible. Charging

a cold battery (below 50°F) may result in

leakage of electrolyte, and ultimately, in

failure of the battery. Charging a hot bat-

tery (about 95° F) results in reduced dis-

charge capacity, affecting the performance

of the radio. P110 rapid rate battery charg-

ers contain a temperature sensing circuit

to ensure that the battery is charged within these tempera-

ture limits. If the charger is not performing a rapid rate

charge, the charger’s LED flashes red to indicate that the

battery is being charged at a slow trickle rate. For additional

information on batteries and battery charging, refer to the

battery charger information in the service manual.

Short Circuit

Care should be taken to avoid external short-circuiting of

the battery.

CAUTION

A sustained high rate discharge (e.g., a paper

clip placed accidentally across the battery con-

tacts) may permanently damage the battery,

void the battery warranty, and create a burn or

fire hazard.

Memory Effect (Reduced Charge Capacity)

The Memory Effect was a phenomenon which caused a

temporary loss in battery capacity or voltage due to repeti-

tive shallow discharging or low term overcharging. This

Memory Effect has been virtually eliminated in Motorola

batteries with the use of the latest in cell technology from

our selected cell suppliers.

Nickel-Cadmium Battery Disposal

For disposition, Nickel-cadmium sealed rechargeable bat-

teries should be delivered to an authorized metals reclama-

tion dealer (refer to inside front cover of this manual).

WARNING

DO NOT DISPOSE OF ANY BATTERIES IN A

FIRE AS THEY MAY EXPLODE!

cord, pull by the transformer rather than the cord when

disconnecting charger.

• Position cord so that it will not be stepped on, tripped

over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.

• An extension cord should not be used unless absolutely

necessary. Use of an improper extension cord could

result in a risk of fire and electric shock. If an extension

cord must be used make sure:

(1) That pins on plug of extension cord are the same

number, size and shape as those on transformer,

(2) That extension cord is properly wired and in good

condition, and

(3) The cord size is 18AWG for lengths of up to 100 feet,

and 16AWG for lengths up to 150 feet.

• Do not operate charger with damaged cord or plug —

replace them immediately.

• Do not operate charger if it has received a sharp blow,

been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any way; take it

to your local Motorola Radius technician.

• Do not disassemble charger; take it to your local Motorola

Radius dealer when service or repair is required. Incorrect

reassembly may result in risk of electric shock or fire.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug charger from out-

let before attempting any maintenance or cleaning. Turn-

ing off controls will not reduce this risk.

To Operate Charger

1. Insert the battery, with or without the radio, into the

charger pocket. (Be sure that the radio is off).

2. Insert plug into the charger and plug the transformer

into the appropriate AC power outlet.

4a. For Single-Unit Standard Rate Battery Chargers only:

When a standard-charge battery reaches full charge,

no change in the LED occurs (red glow remains). The

battery fully charges in 10 hours.

NOTE

You can turn the radio on while it is in the

charger and have it receive normally. However,

allow at least 25% more time for the battery to

reach full capacity. DO NOT TRANSMIT WHILE

THE RADIO IS IN THE CHARGER.

4b. For Single-Unit and Multi-Unit Rapid-Charge Battery

Chargers only: When charging a rapid-charge battery,

the LED glows green indicating CHARGE COMPLETE

when the battery reaches full charge. This LED also

indicates that the battery is now charging at a trickle

rate. A LED flashes red indicating that the battery may

be out of “rapid charge range”. The rapid charge auto-

matically begins when the battery is within the correct

range. Typical charge times for Rapid-Charge Battery

Chargers are as follows:

60-90 Minutes for High Capacity Battery

NOTE

A new battery or one which has not been used

for several months may cause a premature fully

charged indication. These batteries should be

trickle charged overnight before putting them

into service.

5. If the LED does not glow red when the battery is

inserted into the charger, check the battery and charger

contacts to be sure they are clean. There are no user

serviceable parts in the charger. If the charger fails to

operate, contact your local Motorola Radius dealer.

Safety Information P110 Portable Radios

Safety Information

The Federal Communications (FCC) with its action in Gen-

eral Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985 has adopted a safety

standard for the human exposure to radio frequency (RF)

electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-regulated equip-

ment. Proper operation of this radio will result in user expo-

sure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.

DO NOT hold the radio such

that the antenna is too close to,

or touching exposed parts of the

body, especially the face or eyes

while transmitting. The radio

performs best if the microphone

is two or three inches away from

the lips and the radio is vertical.

DO NOT hold the transmit (PTT) button on when not actu-

ally desiring to transmit.

DO NOT allow children to play with any radio equipment

containing a transmitter.

DO NOT operate a portable transmitter near unshielded

electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere

unless it is a type especially qualified for such use.

DO NOT operate the portable with a headset or other audio

accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise

against continuous high volume operation. If you experi-

ence a ringing in your ears, reduce volume level or discon-

tinue use.
