SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
The M/A-COM P7100IP portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy
during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as
“Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize
such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population”
in an uncontrolled environment.
The P7100IP portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards and
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for
exposure to humans:

1.1

•

FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

•

American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

•

American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
CAUTION

•

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 7-1: Options and Accessories.)

•

DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more
than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.

•

Always transmit using low power when possible (refer to section “HIGH/LOW POWER A” on page
33). 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 7-1: Options and Accessories.)

•

ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) from the body and at least 5 cm
(2 inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are
not exceeded. This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances listed in Table
1-1. 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 your mouth, and slightly off to
one side.

present.

MM101332V1, Rev. K

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 the antenna when the radio is powered on.

Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on.

3.1.1

Antenna Care and Replacement
Always keep the antenna at least 0.4 inches (1.1 cm.) away from the body and 1
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 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.

MM101332V1, Rev. K

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. (Refer to Table 7-1: Options and Accessories.)

3.1.2

CAUTION

3.1.3

Electronic Devices
RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern
electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy.
However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment,
always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!

Aircraft

Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft!

3.1.4

•

Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

•

DO NOT use while in-flight!!

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 TwoWay 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.

MM101332V1, Rev. K

MARITIME CHANNELS
As part of FCC Equipment Authorization Part 80 licensing, a maritime frequency usage plan has been
included in this manual for reference.

The antenna connector (between antenna and radio) is a nominal 50Ω impedance.

MM101332V1, Rev. K

BATTERIES
The P7100 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of
battery.
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 it 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 a “battery analyzer/conditioner/charger.”
M/A-COM recommends either the Cadex® C7400 or the Intelligent Technologies Co. BC3506QP-5
iTECH® iQfive® battery conditioners, purchased directly from M/A-COM. These units condition a
battery pack by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery.

Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in
shortened performance by the battery.
CAUTION

5.2

CONDITIONING NICD BATTERY PACKS
A new NiCD battery does not require conditioning before use. Periodically condition NiCD batteries to
avoid the memory effect. If a NiCD battery is repeatedly charged and not fully discharged, the result is
lower voltage and lower capacity. Fortunately, both voltage and capacity are restored through battery
conditioning.

Always use M/A-COM authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of
unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty.
CAUTION

5.3

INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the P7100IP series portable radio. The P7100IP series radio is available
without a front mounted keypad (P7130 – Select model), with a 6-button front mounted keypad (P7150 –
Scan model) and with a DTMF front mounted keypad (P7170 – System model). The P7100IP series radios
are synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance portable FM radios providing reliable two-way
communications in the Enhanced Digital Access Communications Systems (EDACS®) and P25 trunking
environments as well as conventional communications systems.
In P25 Trunked and EDACS modes, the user selects a communications system and group. In these modes,
channel selection is transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system
controller. This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels.
In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel. In this
mode, a system refers to a set of channels. A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the radio’s programming, and the
particular radio system. Most features described in this manual can be enabled through programming.
Consult the particular features programmed into the P7100IP.
For further detail about features and operation refer to the appropriate maintenance manual or contact the
system administrator.

CONTROLS
The radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button mounted on the top of the radio.
Push-To-Talk, option and monitor buttons are mounted on the side. The front mounted keypad has no
buttons on the P7130IP Select model, six buttons on the P7150IP Scan model, and 15 buttons on the
P7170IP System Radio.

8.1.1

Buttons and Knobs

This section describes the primary function of the button and knob controls. Other functions associated
with these controls are detailed in later sections.
POWER ON-OFF
VOLUME KNOB

Applies power to and adjusts the receiver’s volume. Rotating the control
clockwise applies power to the radio. A single alert tone (if enabled through
programming) indicates the radio is operational.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. Minimum
volume levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls
due to a low volume setting. While adjusting the volume the display will
momentarily indicate the volume level (i.e. VOL=31). The volume range is
from a minimum programmed level of zero (displayed as OFF in the
display) up to 31, which is the loudest level.

CONTROL KNOB

Selects systems or group/channels (depending on programming). This is a
16-position rotary knob.
Note: A mechanical stop, which can limit the positions accessed, is shipped
with the radio but must be installed. To install the mechanical stop, remove
the channel knob, loosen the set screw on the channel knob metal base
(using a 1.27mm hex wrench), and remove the channel knob metal base.
Replace the 16 channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the desired
channel. Reinstall the channel knob metal base, tighten the set screw, and
reinstall the channel knob.

EMERGENCY/
HOME BUTTON

Automatically selects the pre-programmed Group/System by pressing and
holding for a programmed duration. It can also be used to declare an
emergency by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button
must be pre-programmed for either operation, but not both.

PTT BUTTON

Push-To-Talk must be pressed before voice transmission begins. In trunked
mode the radio’s ID is transmitted upon depression of the PTT button.
(Refer to Figure 8-2.)

CLEAR/MONITOR
BUTTON

In trunked mode: Exits the current operation (removing all displays
associated with it) and returns the radio to the selected talk group.
Terminates individual and telephone interconnect calls.
In conventional mode: Unsquelches the receiver and allows channel
monitoring prior to transmission. Momentarily removes the Channel Guard
decoding from the channel.

OPTION BUTTON Activates one of a number of programmable software options selected
during PC programming. Programmable options include hi/low power
settings, keypad lock, LCD contrast, LCD and keypad back lighting.

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

10.12.1

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 or
private messages.

10.12.2

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
call or hang time is still active. Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if the
digital mode is disabled or inoperative.
1. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang
time on the working channel.
2. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time.
3. When using the *WHC* feature to respond to an I-Call (after the hang time has expired), the call is
transmitted in the mode defined by the system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID
being called is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmitted as defined
by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID.
The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode.

MM101332V1, Rev. K
10.12.3

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.
10.12.3.1

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. Then use the  or  button to toggle between displaying the system key or the group/channel
key.

Key Zero

All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing the MONITOR/CLEAR
button and while still pressing this button, press and hold the OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2
seconds. A series of beeps will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone
after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO.
If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Keyloader into the
radio before private communications may continue.

10.12.4
10.12.4.1

Private Operation
Receiving an Encrypted Call

When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private operation. If the transmission
being received is an encrypted transmission, it will be decrypted, the 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.
10.12.4.2

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.
If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be enabled on power up. Also,
the Private Mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio.
If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, PVT DIS will be displayed if
an attempt is made to enable private transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel
in Private Mode.
If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY# will be displayed and the call
will not be transmitted.
3. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access tone will be heard when the
PTT button is pressed.
10.12.4.3

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

If the radio scans to a group other than the selected group then receives a call on the selected
group, the radio will switch to the selected group. However, if the “scanned-to” group is
programmed at a higher priority the radio will remain on the “scanned-to” group.

•

The radio will continue scanning if a new group is selected when scan is ON.

Pressing the PTT button when scan is ON will cause the radio to transmit on the displayed group or to the
currently selected group (depending on programming).

11.1.3.3

Nuisance Delete

A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing the 
key (Scan model) or the  key (System model) during scan operation while the radio is displaying the
unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if
done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered
OFF and then powered ON.

11.2 SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS
The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically
enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan
features to be toggled during radio operation. This is covered in the Menu Selection and Pre-Programmed
Keypad Key sections. The System Scan state will be maintained through system changes but will default
to ON when the radio is powered ON.

11.2.1

Wide Area System Scanning

The P7100IP series radios can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across
mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be
programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is
found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.

MM101332V1, Rev. K
11.2.2

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 ), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system.
11.2.2.1

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.
11.2.2.2

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.

11.2.3

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 preprogrammed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that
exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone
(if 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.

11.3 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.

11.3.1

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.

11.3.2

Declaring an Emergency Call

To send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally pre-programmed group),
proceed as follows:
1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for
approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check
with the system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request with the radio ID
until an emergency channel assignment is received.
2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio
has auto keyed (see Table 8-2) and is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two in
the display until the emergency is cleared.
3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice.

and

momentarily turn ON.

4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete.
To clear the emergency first press and hold the CLEAR/MONITOR button. While continuing to hold the
CLEAR/MONITOR button, press the EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed
to clear emergencies.)

11.4 INDIVIDUAL CALLS
11.4.1

Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call (Trunked Mode Only)

When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the
assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of the
unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The
radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five
seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the CLEAR/MONITOR button or
the individual call mode is entered.

The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels.

MM101332V1, Rev. K
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 timeout, 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.

3. To terminate the call, momentarily press the CLEAR/MONITOR button.

11.5.3

Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial/Conventional Mode

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

11.7 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the P25 Trunked or
EDACS site. Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to a P25
Trunked or EDACS site.

11.7.1

Status Operation

To send a status condition, press the  key followed by  or  key to select the pre-programmed
status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from the menu. If
STATUS is selected you need to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no
status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid
selection will permit the status text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out
expires or the  key has been pressed (the  key will override the time-out period), the status is selected
and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a
future time. Status messages can also be programmed for single key operation so that a single press of a
key assigned to a status message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not receive the
status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.
The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the  key and then the

 key

to ramp to STS, re-press the  key again and then the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the
status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the display.

11.7.2

Message Operation

Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the previous section.

11.7.3

Dynamic Regroup Operation

Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the
system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will
not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITOR button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the
dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate
REGRP_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled
by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped,
the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in
this condition except for scanned groups.

11.7.4

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.

11.7.5

Macro Key Operation

Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input
(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION button, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when
pressed or when released.
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key
is activated.
For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or
administrator.

11.8 PORTABLE DATA
The P7100IP series portable radios, when operating in the P25 Trunked or EDACS configuration, permit
either voice or data calls to be transmitted or received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a
time; however, either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the
radio. Data communications is not supported in the conventional mode.
The radios can be connected to Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232
compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be
connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio.
Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or
received).

11.8.1
