Section0Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information, and
Operational Instructions for FCC Occupational Use Requirements
Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and
control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines.
Note This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full
knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC
limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any
other use.
This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to
provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio
frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of
electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power,
sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of
electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly can cause biological damage. Very
high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health and industry work with organizations to
develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended
levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF
exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in
North America are designed, manufactured and tested to ensure they meet government
established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important
because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on
how to control it. Please refer to the following web sites for more information on what RF
energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with
established RF exposure limits.
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html

• http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
Federal Communications Commission Regulations
The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits
for mobile two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios
are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and
able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can
be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information.

Safety Information
Your EFJohnson Technologies two-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your
EFJohnson Technologies user manual, or product manual, or separate safety booklet
includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and
to satisfy compliance requirements.
Compliance with RF Exposure Standards
Your EFJohnson Technologies two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a
number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding
human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the
IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment
at duty factors of up to 50% talk and 100% listen and is authorized by the FCC for
occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting
(during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode.
Your EFJohnson Technologies two-way radio complies with the following RF energy
exposure standards and guidelines:
• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47
CFR §§ 2 sub-part J.
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992.
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition.
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating
Instructions
To control exposure to yourself and others and ensure compliance with the occupational/
controlled environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures.
Guidelines
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
Instructions
Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push
the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting
50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy
exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).

• Install antennas at the center of the roof or the center of the trunk deck taking into
account the bystander exposure conditions of backseat passengers and the
recommended minimum lateral distances in Table 1. These mobile antenna installation
guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground
planes. The antenna installation should additionally be in accordance with:
- The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier.
- Instructions in the Radio Installation Manual, including minimum antenna cable
lengths.
- The installation manual should provide specific information of how to install the
antennas to facilitate recommended operating distances to all potentially exposed
persons.

• Last Zone/Home Channel
• Home Zone/Last Chan nel
• Home Zone/Home Channel
The Home Zone and Channel are pre programmed. With the “Last Zone”/“Home
Channel” configuration, the programmed home channel number of the last active zone is
selected. If thi s channel number is not prog rammed i n the act ive zone , “UNPROGRAMD”
is displayed.
If the Radio ID feature is enabled, the radio will display the Radio ID alias in place of the
Self Test message during startup. Radio ID identifies the personality file used to program
the radio, the service area for which the radio is programmed, or functional grouping for
which the radio is programmed. The Radio ID alias display will be included with the
Radio Info display items in both button/scroll and menu modes. If disabled, the Radio ID
menu mode will display a blank line.
switch at either control point can be OFF for power to turn OFF.
3.1.1 Standard and Soft Power Down
To turn power off, press the ON-OFF/Volume knob.
A soft feature can be programmed to prevent radio power from being turned off by
accidentally pressing the on-off/volume knob. If the user presses the ON-OFF/Volume
knob, “” will be displayed. The displ ay message portion of the display st ops updating. The
user is able to receive, transmi t, and use function buttons, but the di sp lay message will not
change. If the channel is changed the Zone/Channel indication will update.
The user can power the radio complet ely down by pres sing th e option but ton prog rammed
for this purpose (F2 or F6).
If the user presses th e ON/OFF/Volu me knob while soft po wer do wn is in effe ct, the radio
returns to full power up op eration.
3.1.2 Setting Volume Level
The relative volume setting can be determined using a reference tone as follows:
• If the key press tones are enabled (see Section 4.6), a short tone sounds when an option
switch is pressed or the Select switch is pressed or rotated.
• If a conventional channel is selected, take the microphone off-hook and if someone is
talking, voice may be heard. If the MON (Monitor) option switch is programmed (see
3-2 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
Section 5.3 on page 25), pressing it unsquelches the radio and either voice or
background noise is heard. If a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel is
selected, the radio cannot be manually unsquelched.
The minimum volume level that the volume control can select can be programmed. This
can be used to prevent missed messages caused by unintentionally turning the volume
down too far. Relative levels of 0-255 can be set in steps of 1 (“0” sets the lowest
minimum volume).
Note This setting is applicable to ES mobiles with ES Series Remote Control Heads. The
minimum volume setting has no effect on the volume of a pre-ES Series model remote
control head using an internal speaker whether it is attached to a pre-ES Series or an ES
Series mobile radio.
3.2 Power-Up Password
General Operation
The power-up password fea ture prevents unau thorized use of the radio by requ iring that an
eight-digit password be entered to make it operational. This feature is enabled or disabled
by programming.
When it is enabled, “ENTER PSWD” is briefly displayed when power is turned on, the
eight-digit numeric password must be entered by pressing and rotating the Select switch.
A single beep sounds whe n t he switch is pressed (i f t hat option is enabled) . If an incorrect
password is entered, “INCORRECT” is displayed and it must be re-entered.
An enhanced password scheme allows up to four power-on (user) passwords, download
and upload passwords, and a master password to be programmed.
The current User password can be changed if the “PW CHG” option switch is
programmed. Selecting this function displays prompts for entering and confirming a new
password. Refer to Section 9 for more information on password s.
3.3 Backlight Control and Display Viewing Angle Adjust
If the BKLHT option swi tch is pro grammed, it can be u sed to s elect high, medium, or OFF
backlight modes. Otherwise, the keypad and display backlight is fixed in one of these
modes by programming. The backlight is totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is
programmed (see Section 4.10).

Note If the display appears blank or all icons are continuously displayed, the viewing angle is
probably improperly adjusted.
3.4 Zone / Channel Display and Select
Zone / Channel Display and Select operate as follows:
3.4.1 Zone / Channel Display
The selected zone and channel numbers are displayed by the zone and channel displays
shown in the following il lustration. In addition, the selected zone identification (alias) is
displayed in the alphanumeric display area when the zone select mode is enabled, and the
channel ali as is displaye d when the channel select mode is enabled (see following).
Channel alias can be a combination of zone and channel aliases. With conventional
channels, the channel frequency may be displayed instead of the alias if the Display
Information option switch is programmed (see Section 5.8).
A zone can include any mix of up to 16 channels, and up to 32 or 54 zones can be
programmed, depending on the option enabled. Therefore, up to 864 channels can be
selected. One use for zones may be for operation in different geographical areas.

1 Enable the direct Channel Select mode selecting it via the menu or by pressing the
Channel Select option switch. A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that
option is enabled). The alias and sequential number of the current channel are
alternately displayed.
2 Select the desired channel using the Up/Down keys or directly enter it using the 0-9
keys. A single beep sounds when the channel is changed (if that option is enabled). If
using the 0-9 key s, t he radio attempts to display the en te red number after the thi rd digit
is entered or approximately two seconds after the last key is pressed.
3 To exit this mode and selec t the entered ch annel, pres s the Channe l Select switc h again.
This mode is also exited automatically without changing the channel after
approximately one minute of no activity.
pressing that key to select a channel then exits the select mode.
Other features of this mode are as follows:
• When using the Up/Down keys, wrap-around to the lowest zone/channel occurs after
the last channel in the highest programmed zone is displayed and vice versa. For
example, if Zone 1/Channel 5 is the highest programmed channel, wrap-around occurs
after Zone 1/Channel 16 is dis played i f the “Progr ammed Channels Only On Displ ay” is
not selected. If “Programmed Channels Only on Display” is selected, the wrap around
occurs at Channel 5.
• When an unprogrammed channel is displayed, the sequential channel number and
“UNPROGRAMD” are alternately displayed.
• If an invalid channel number is entered usi ng the 0-9 keys , or the Channel Select option
switch is pressed with “UNPROGRAMD” displayed, an error tones sounds,
“INVALID” is briefly displayed, and the displayed channel does not change.
3.4.4 Favorite Zone Selection
The Favorite Zone feature allows the radio to be programmed to provide users the ability
to setup “Favorite Ch annels ” in one Favo rite Zone , and allows the user to edit t he channel s
without impacting any of the channels already programmed to the zone.
A “Favorites” button in the 5300 ES allo ws the use r to add cha nne ls to the Favor it e Zone.

6 Upon exit, the radio will remain on the channel that was just added to the Favorites list.
3.5 Setting Squelch Control
This radio does not have a squelch control. The squelch level is preset and usually does
not require readjustment. However, if the squelch threshold needs to be changed on a
conventional analog channel, it can be changed using keypad programming if available
(see Section 5.17 on page 36).
General Operation
Note The Keypad programming feature is available to Federal Government users only.
3.6 Transmit Disable
Transmitting can be disabled on each conventional, SMARTNET, SmartZone, and P25
Trunked channel so t hat th e ch annel is monitor-only. When tr ans mi t ti ng i s a tt empt ed on a
receive-only channel, “RX ONLY” is displayed and an error tone sounds.
3.7 Radio Operating Modes
Each selectable channel can be programmed for the conventional (analog or Project 25
digital), SMARTNET/SmartZone, or Project 25 digital trunked operating mode. For
example, Zone 1/Channel 1 could be a conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a
SMARTNET channel, and so on. More information on these modes follows.
Note All operating modes utilize certain functions that are activated/deactivated by pressing
and holding a particular button or switch. The “hold” interval is preset. When instructed
October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 3-7
General Operation
to “press and hold”, do so until the desired action occurs. For other operations (not
specified “press and hold”) only momentary pressing is required.
3.7.1 Conventional Mode
This is a non-tr unked opera ting mode whi ch access es indepe ndent radio c hannel s. There i s
no automatic access to several channels. Selecting a conventional channel selects a
transmit and receive frequency and other channel parameters such as squelch control
coding.
Conventional channels can be either standard (analog ) or Pro je ct 25 (di gi ta l) . With dig it al
operation, the DSP (Digital Signal Processor) converts the audio signal to digital data
packets. Another diff erence is t hat a nalog channel s use Call Guard ( CTCSS/DCS) s que lch
control and Project 25 channels use a NAC (Network Access Code) and talk group ID
codes.
With Project 25 operation, a NAC is tr ansmitted which must mat ch the NAC progr ammed
in the Repeater or Base Stat ion equipment and t he radio(s) bei ng called for co mmunication
to occur. In addition, to receive standard group ca lls, the receiving radio must be
programmed to detect the transmitted talk group ID code.
With conventional operation, a busy channel condition is detected automatically if the
busy channel loc kout (trans mit disa ble on bus y) feat ure is p rogrammed. Otherwise, it must
be detected manually. An out-of-range condition is not indicated by special tones or
messages as with SMARTNET opera tion bec ause th ere is no ini tial data exch ange with the
repeater that allows this condition to be detected. Operating features unique to
conventional channels are described in Section 5.
3.7.2 SMARTNET / SmartZone Mode
This is a trunked operating mode in which automatic access is provided to several RF
channels. ID codes are used to select what radios are being called and what calls are
received. Monitoring is performed automatically and special messages and tones indicate
busy and out-of-range conditions.
SMARTNET and SmartZone operation and programming is very similar. Basically,
SMARTNET operation is li mited to a s ing le re peater sit e and Smar tZone o perat ion allo ws
automatic roaming between sites. SMARTNET/SmartZone features include roaming
(SmartZone only), telephone, private, and emerg ency calls, Call Alert
Either analog or digital signaling may be used. Enhanced SMARTNET/SmartZone
features provide the same, plus gives you responses from the system. For example, if the
ID you are calling is turned OFF, the system will display “NOT AVAILABLE”.
™
, and messaging.
3-8 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
General Operation
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is sele cte d or the r adi o is power ed up on one
of those channels, it searches for a control channel. Once a control channel is found, the
alias (name) of the selected channel is displayed and the radio attempts to register on the
trunked system. If a control channel could not be found (because of an out of range
condition or the system ID is not correct, for example), “NO SYS” (early units) or “OUT
RNGE” (later units) is displayed and the radio continues to search for a control channel.
The control channel transmits and receives system information to and from all radios
registered on the system. Therefore, once a control channel is found, it is continuously
monitored for incoming call information and is used to make call requests. When the radio
is keyed, a channel grant request is sent through the control channel. The system then
informs the requ esting r adio what traffi c channel to u se, throu gh the co ntrol channel. Once
the request is granted by the system, the radio move s to the designated traffic channel for
the actual talk g roup ca ll. Once the tr an smissi on has en ded, the ra dio retur ns to t he cont rol
channel.
Operating features unique to SMARTNET/SmartZone channels are described in
Section 6.
3.7.3 P25 Trunked Mode
The P25 Trunked oper atin g fea tures are very simila r to the Smart Zone t ype j ust d escri bed.
Since SmartZone featur es are also similar to SMARTNET features, all thr ee modes are
described in Section 6. Some differences between the P25 Trunking and SmartZone
modes are as follows:
• Digital signaling is always used with P25 calls. Either analog or digital signaling may
be used for SmartZone calls.
• Calls made to a specific radio in the P25 mode are called Unit Calls. In the
SMARTNET/SmartZone mode they are called Private Calls.
• Messaging is not available with P25 calls.
• Telephone calls are available in this mode.
• The P25 control channel data rate is 9600 baud and the digital voice data rate is also
9600 baud. With SmartZone ope rat io n, t he c ont rol channel data rate is 3600 baud (both
digital and analog calls) and the narrowband digital voice data rate is 9600 baud.
• The P25 mode uses a system ID, Wide Area Communications Network (WACN) ID,
and RF Subsystem ID (RFSS). The SmartZone mode does not use the WACN and
RFSS IDs.
• P25 Unit IDs can be 1-16,777,215 (000001-FFFFFF hex) and SmartZone Unit IDs can
be 1-65,535 (0001-FFFF hex).

General Operation
3.7.4 Systems, Channels, and Zones
A zone and channel are selected to place and receive calls. The following describes the
relationship between systems, channels, and zones.
3.7.4.1 Systems
A system is a collection of channels or talk groups belonging to the same repeater site. It
defines all the parameters and protocol (system) information required to access a site.
When a system is added, you specify the type belonging to the same repeater site or
“multi-site” network - i.e ., Conventional, SmartNet , SmartZone or P25 Trunking. Up to 16
systems of any type can be programmed.
The maximum number of channels assignable to a system is limited to 864, depending on
the option enabled. Channels may also be limited by availabl e memor y space as described
in the following information.
3.7.4.2 Channels
A channel selects a radio (RF) channel or talk group as follows:
Conventional Analog Mode - A channel selects a specific radio channel, Call Guard
(CTCSS/DCS) squelch coding, and other parameters unique to that channel.
Conventional Project 25 Mode - A channel selects a specific radio channel, NAC
squelch coding, talk group ID, and other parameters unique to that channel.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and Trunked Project 25 Modes - A channel selects a
specific talk group, announcement group, emergency group, and other parameters
unique to that talk group.
A maximum of up to approximately 864 channels (depending on the option enabled) can
be programmed with the preceding modes. These channels can belong to a single system
or multiple systems. The maximum number is also limited by the available memory. For
example, since more memory is required to program a SMARTNET system than a
conventional system, the total number of channels decreases as the number of
SMARTNET channels increases. The programming software displays a bar graph which
shows the amount of ava ilable memory space that is used by the current data.
3.7.4.3 Zones
A zone is a collection of up to 16 channels of any type. For example, a zon e co uld include
12 conventional channels and four SMARTNET channels. One use of zones may be to
program the channels used for operation in a different geographical areas. The maximum
number of zones is 32 or 54 depending on the option enabled.

4.3 Time-Out Timer
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed for long er than the programmed
time. It can be programmed on each channel for times of 15 seconds to 3 minutes, 45
seconds or it can be disabled.
If the transmitter is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time, the
transmitter is disabled, a continuous tone sounds, and “TX TIMEOUT” is displayed. Five
seconds before time-out occurs, a warning beep sounds to indicate that time-out is
approaching. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.
A different time can be programmed for each system, and the timer can be enabled or
disabled on each conventional channel. With conventional channels, a penalty time can
also be programmed that prevents further transm issions for a c ertain time af ter the
transmitter is disabled (see Section 5.5).
One use of this feature is to pr event a ch annel from being kept busy for an extended peri od
by an accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also prevent possible transmitter damage
caused by transmitting for an excessively long period.

4.4 Home Channel Select
If the HOME option switch is programmed, pressing it selects the preprogrammed home
channel. This provides a quick way of returni ng to a frequen tly used channe l. Pressi ng and
holding this switch until a tone sounds makes the currently selected channel the new
Home. (The radio can be pr ogrammed to i gnore this pr ess-and- hold funct ion). The r adio is
also programmed so t hat ei th er the home or last se le cted channel is automat ic al ly sel ected
when power is turned on (see Section 3.1). A secondary Home, Home2, may also be
programmed.
Note The radio can be optionally programmed so that Pressing and holding the Home option
switch causes the radio to switch to the existing Home or Home 2 instead of making the
current selection the ne w Home.
4.5 Power Output Select
Radio Wide Features
Each conventional channel and SMARTNET/Smar tZone and P25 Trunked system can be
programme d for High, Low, or Switchable transmit power. If Swi tchable power is
programmed on the channel or system, the Tx PWR option switch can then be used to
select high or low transmitter power. All models support switchable power.
Pressing the TX PWR switch toggles the power setting. The new level is flashed in the
display when this switch is pressed as “HI POWER” or “LOW POWER”. If selectable
power is not permitted on the current channel or system, the fixed power level is flashed
and no power change occurs. The selected power level is permanent until it is manually
changed again. The power levels are set at the fact ory or when the radi o is tuned usi ng the
PCTune™ software.
4.6 Alert Tone Select
The various alert ton es that so und are desc ribed in Se ction 7.1. Th ese ton es can be ena bled
and disabled if the TONE option switch is programmed. To turn all tones OFF, press this
switch and “TONE OFF” is displa yed. Then to turn al l tones on a gain, press i t and “TONE
ON” is displayed. If this switch is not programmed, tones are fixed in the ON or OFF
condition by programming. Alert t ones are total ly disa bled when the Survei llan ce mode is
programmed (see Section 4.10).
October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 4-5
Radio Wide Features
The Alert Tone volume can be adjusted relative to the volume control setting. This is done
by programming and also by the user if the TN VOL option switch is programmed.
Relative levels of –170 to +170 can be set with “0” the default setting. A minus value
decreases the tone volume and a plus value increases it. The user adjusted level
permanently overrides the programmed level if applicable.
4.7 Power Turn-Off Delay
The radio can be installed so that the vehicle ignition switch as well as the front panel
power switch of the radio control power. This is done by connecting the accessory cable
ignition switch input to the vehicle ignition switch. Refer to the 5300 ES Installation
Manual for more information. A power-off delay of up to 510 minutes can then be
programmed, or this f eatur e can be disabl ed by pr ogramming “Infi nite” delay so that ther e
is no automatic power-off.
Both the ignition switch and the power switch must then be on for radio power to turn on.
The delay can be overridden at any time by turning power OFF using the front panel
power switch or turning the ignition switch back ON.
This turn-off delay can a llow calls to be received or the horn alert to be active for a time
after the ignition switch is turned OFF. At the same time, advantages of ignition switch
control are used suc h as prev enting the battery disc har ge t h at may occ u r i f t he ra di o is left
ON for an extended period (see Section 7.6).
4.8 Horn Alert
The horn alert feature sounds an external alert such as the vehicle horn when certain calls
are received. It is available if a Horn option switch is programmed and the proper
connection has been made to the external alert. The horn alert output is pin 4 of the
accessory cable, and an external driver circuit of some type is usually required. Refer to
the 5300 ES Installation Manual for more information on how to install this feature.
Additional information on the horn alert feature follows:
• It activates when receiving any Unit call in the P25 conventional mode and any Private/
Unit and Call Alert (paging) call in the SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked
modes. It does not sound when receiving standard Group or telephone calls, and is not
programmable on a per call basis.
• It must be manually enabl ed and dis abled by the Horn optio n switch . It is not contro lled
by the vehicle ignition switch. When it is enabled, “HORN ON” is briefly displayed,
4-6 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
and when it is disabled , “HORN OFF” i s br iefly displayed. It defa ul ts to the OFF mode
whenever power is turned on.
• If a power turn-off delay is programmed as just described, it is functional during that
delay.
• When activated, it can be programmed to sound for three 1-second beeps or
continuously for 2-90 seconds. It then turns OFF until another Unit call is received.
4.9 Microphone Off-Hook Detect
The microphone hanger can be connected to chassis ground and the radio programmed to
detect an off-hook condition (Hangup Box Monitor selected). The following operation

4.11 Public Address
This feature allows a single microphone to be used for either radio or public address. An
external public address system can be connected to pin 7 of the radio accessory pigtail
cable. This is a low level output, so s ome sort of PA amplif ier is re quired. The External PA
option switch (or menu selection) control this feature.
In the public address mode, microphone audio is always routed to the PA system, and the
radio can be programmed so that receive audio is also routed. When the PA is enabled/
disabled, “EXT PA ON/OFF” is displayed momentarily. The radio can also be
programmed to display “EXT PA ON” continuously.
If “Ext PA Mute” is enabled by PC Configure, whe n the radio co de toggles the exter nal PA
mute line, the auxiliary B output line will also be toggled. This allows users to mute their
own PA at the same time that the radio throws the eternal PA switch.
4.12 Scanning
Scanning monitors the channels in the scan list for messages the radio is programmed to
receive. When a message is detected, scanning stops and the message is received. Shortly
after the message is complete, scanning resumes.
If the microphone off-hook condition is detected (Hangup Box Monitor selected by
programming), scanning stops and selective squelch (such as Call Guard CTCSS or NAC/
group ID detect) is disabled on conventional channels. If the microphone off-hook
condition is not detected (Hangup Box Monitor is not programmed), taking the
microphone off-hook has no affect on radio operation. When a call is received in the scan
mode, the alias of the channel on which a call is received (and any other display
parameters that may be programmed) are displayed until scanning resumes. The selected
channel ali as is then disp layed if appl icable.
There are two scan modes avai labl e: Prio rity ( standa rd) and Rad io Wide. The ope rati on of
the priority typ e is uniq ue to the system t ype progr ammed on the select ed chann el, and the
operation of the Radio Wide type is the same regardless of the system type programmed
on the selected ch anne l. Onl y on e ty pe of scanning can be enabled at a t ime. For example,
if priority s canning is enabled and Radio Wide Scan is enabled, pri ority scanni ng is
automatically disabled and vice versa. Refer to the following for more information.

4.12.3 Scan Hold Time
When a message is received or transmitted while scan ning, there is a delay before
scanning resumes. The delay after receiving a call prevents another message from being
received before a respon se can be made. The delay a fter transmit ting a call ens ures that a
response is heard instead of another message occurring on some other channel.
Separate delay times are programmable for radio wide and priority scanning. With radio
wide scanning, delays of 2-7.5 seconds are programmable in 0.5-second steps. With
priority scanning, delays of 0-7.5 seconds are programmable in 0.5-second steps. With
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked scanning, scan delays of 0-8 seconds can be
programmed in 0.5-second steps.

4.12.4 Tr ansmitting in the Scan Mode
Priority Scan Mode - When the transmitter is keyed while scanning is enabled, the
transmission may occur on various channels as follows.
Conventional Operation - Transmissions can be programmed to always occur on
the priority, selected, or receive channel (if applicable). Refer to Section 5.10 for
more information.
SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked Operation - If scanning is halted to
receive a message, programming determines if transmissions occur on the selected or
active channel. Transmissions at other times occur on the selected channel.
Radio Wide Scan Mode - The radio can be programmed to transmit on the selected or
active channel similar to SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked operation just
described.
4.12.5 Nuisance Channel Delete
With priority scanning, channels can be temporarily deleted from the scan list, for

Section5Conventional Features
An overview of the conventional operating mode is located in Section 3.7.1. The
following information describes the features unique to analog and Project 25 (digital)
conventional oper at ion . Ref er t o t h e pre ceding “Radio Wide Fea tur es ” section (Section 4)
for information on features common to all operating modes.
5.1 Monitoring Before Transmitting
With conventional operation, you may need to manually monitor the channel before
transmitting to make sure th at it is not being use d by someone els e. If you were to trans mit
while someone else was using the channel, you would probably disrupt thei r conversa tion.
With SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked operation, monitoring is performed
automatically. Monitor conventional channels automatically or manually as follows:
5.1.1 Automatic Channel Monitoring
If the select ed channel is programmed for Busy Chan nel Lockout (also called Transmit
Disable On Busy), monitoring is performed automatically. Refer to Section 5.3 for more
information on this feature.
5.1.2 Manual Channel Monitoring
The automatic monitoring just described may occasionally disable the transmitter when
the channel is not in use, such as if the repeater has extended hang time. In this case, you
may not want to use it and the channel must then be monitored manually as follows:
October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 5-1
Conventional Features
Busy Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the multi-function indicator on the
front panel is steady gr een. If it is green, a carrier is be ing detected, so the chann el may
be busy. If it is not, the channel is not being used and a call can be transmitted.
Monitor Mode - There may be times when the busy indication is displayed even
though no one is using the channel. Monitoring should then be performed by disabling
Call Guard squelch (or group ID detect on P25 channels). This is usually done by
selecting the Monitor Mode (see following) or by the Normal/Selective option switch
(see Section 5.4.1).
5.2 Monitor Mode
The monitor mode unsquelches the receiver and monitors the channel even if a carrier is
not detected. Other features of this mode are as follows:
• Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) squelch is disabled on analog channels and NAC and group
ID detect are disabled on P25 (conventional) channels.
• Signalling-dependent Busy Channel Lockout options for Tone/NAC and P25 status are
ovrerridden (see next section). (Noise option is not overridden: Monitor mode disables
the protocol-signalling events that the Busy Channel Lockout option Tone/NAC/Status
depend on, but not carrier events.)
• Scanning temporarily halts.
The Monitor Mode operates as follows:
1 To monitor the transmit frequency for activity before transmitting, briefly press the
MON option switch. The display then indicates “MON” (see Figure 2.3). The receiver
unsquelches and noise is heard even if carrier not present. The transmit frequency can
also be monitored by selecting TX Channel from the menu.
2 To monitor the receive fr equency instea d, press and hold the MON option switch until a
tone sounds (approximately two seconds). This can be used, for example, to improve
reception if intermittent squelching is making a weak message difficult to understand.
The receive frequency can also be monitored via the Squelch Override option of the
menu.
3 To disable the monitor mode and return to normal operation, press the MON option
switch again (or select Off from the menu).
If off-hook detection is enabled, taking the microphone off-hook monitors the receive
frequency similar to Step 2 . Howe ver, t he r eceive r uns quelch es only if a car rier is detect ed
(see Section 4.9). Pressing the SEL SQ option switch disables Call Guard squelch/P25
group ID detect but not scanning and P25 NAC detect (see Section 5.4).
5-2 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
5.3 Busy Channel Lockout
The Busy Channel Lockout (also called Transmit Disable on Busy) feature automatically
disables the transmitter if the channel is busy when the PTT switch is pressed. When the
transmitter is disabled by this feature, “BUSY” is displayed, a busy tone sounds, and the
transmitter is disabled.
The Busy Channel Lockout feature can be programmed to operate as follows. Each
conventional channel can be programmed differently.
“Off” - Busy channel l ockout is disabled and t he t ransmitter keys even if the channel is
busy.
“Noise” - If a carrier is detected on the channel, the transmitter is disabled when the
PTT switch is pressed.
“Tone (NAC)” - If an incorrect Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) or P25 NAC code (see
Section 5.13.3) is detected, the transmitter is disabled when the PTT switch is pressed.
An incorrect code is any code other than the one programmed for the current channel.
Conventional Features
If Busy Channel Override is permitted by programming, it is possible to transmit even
when the transmitter is disabled by this feature. Release the PTT switch and then quickly
press it again within one second.
5.4 Call Guard Squelch
Tone or digital Call Guard squelch (also called CTCSS/DCS signaling) can be
programmed on each conventional analog transmit and receive channel in any order
desired. The reverse burst and turn-off code are always transmitted and also detected on
channels programmed with Call Guard squelch.
The Call Gua rd squelch feature eliminates distracting messages intended for others usi ng
the channel. Thi s i s done by using a subau dib le tone or digital code to control the squelch.
This tone or code is unique to a user or a group on that channel. This tone or code is
transmitted with the voic e si gnal but is not heard because it is in th e subaudible range and
is attenuated by a filter. Call Guard squelch must be used in both the transmitting and
receiving radio to be functional.
October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 5-3
Conventional Features
5.4.1 Call Guard Squelch Enable / Disable
The SEL SQ option switch (if programmed) can be used to disable receive Call Guard
squelch (Normal/Selective Squelch) on analog channels or group ID code detection on
P25 channels. This option is also selectable via the menu. When selective squelch is
disabled, “SQ NORMAL” is flashed in the disp lay, and when it is enabled , “SQ SELECT”
is flashed.
When “SQ NORMAL” is selected, the receiver unsquelches only if a carrier is detected.
Scanning and P25 NAC detection are not disabled with this mode selected. The selected
mode remain s in effect un til it is manually changed. Selecting another channel or cycling
power does not reselect a default condition. There is a programmable option to display
“MON” when the “SQ NORMAL” mode is selected.
5.4.2 Tone Call Guard Squelch
Tone-type Call Guard squelch uses subaudibl e CTCSS tones from 67-254.1 Hz. Alt hough
there are 42 tones assigned, those above 33 (210.7 Hz) are normally not used because of
their close proximity to the voice band which starts at 300 Hz. In addition, tones 11 (97.4
Hz), 39 (69.3 Hz), 40 (206.5 Hz), 41 229.1 Hz), and 42 (254.1 Hz) are normally not used
because they may cause interference with adjacent tones.
A reverse burst is transmitted when the push-to-talk switch is released and also detected
when calls are received. It is a 180-degree phase reversal for a period of time determined
by the tone freq uency, and i t elim inates the squel ch tail (noise bu rst) in the r eceiving radio .
Both the transmitting and receiving radio must be equipped with this feature for it to be
used. PC Configure can be used to turn OFF the reverse burst feature so that the squelch
tail is not eliminated.
5.4.3 Digital Call Guard Squelch
Digitally Coded Squelch ( DCS) u ses dig ital data in stead o f subaud ible t ones to contro l t he
squelch. This data consists of continuous repetitions of 23-bit words. No bit or word
synchroni zation information is used. When the push-to-talk switch is released, a turn-off
code is transmitted which eliminates the squelch tail similar to the reverse burst.
Although there are thousands of possible code combinations with 23 bits, only 83 are
unique with the data scheme used. The numb er spe ci fi ed when th e code is progr ammed is
actually a seed for a special algorithm used to generate the 23-bit data word. The data is
transmitted at a rate of 134.4 bits per second. Therefore, approximately six words are
transmitted each second. When the data is decoded, 23-bit samples are taken and then the
bits are rotated to determine if a valid code was received.
5-4 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
Conventional Features
5.4.4 Selective Squelch Code Select (CTCSS / DSC / NAC)
This feature allows the normal transmit and receive Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS/NAC)
programming to be temporarily overridden with a code selected from a preprogrammed
list. It is available if the SQ LIST option switch and a CTCSS/NAC code list have been
programmed. It is also selectable via the menu.
In addition, with the Handheld Control Unit (HHC) only, conventional systems can be
programmed for the Keypad CTCSS/DSC feature. Codes can then be selected directly
from the table by pressing the key for the code. For example, to select code 3 from the
table, simply press the “3” key. No other conventional mode functions can then be
assigned to these keys.
The CTCSS/DCS/NAC list is programmed with up to 64 tone (CTCSS) or digital (DCS)
Call Guard codes. Different codes can be prog rammed for the transmit and receive modes,
and carrier squelch (select ive squel ch disable d) can be pr ogrammed if d esired. I n additio n,
each position can be programmed with an NAC code for use with P25 operation.
When the Call Guard code is changed using this feature, it remains selected even if other
channels are selected. However, if radio power is cycled or a talk-around channel is
selected, the normal codes are reselected. When scanning, the selected code also applies to
all scanned channels. Each channel can also be programmed to always ignore the code
selected from this list and use the default code instead.
If both analog and digital (Project 25) channels can be selected or scanned, the CTCSS/
DCS code for the selected position is used for analog channels and the NAC code for the
selected position is used for P25 channels. If a channel is programmed for mixed mode
operation, the s elective squelch type (ana log or digital) progra mmed for the transmit mode
determines the selective squelch type used.
Note Call Guard codes may be permanently reprogrammed by keypad programming (see
Section 5.14).
Proceed as follows to select a code using the SQ LIST option switch:
1 Press the SQ LIST option switch and then rotate the Select switch to select the desired
position. The display indicates “SEL SQ xx” where, “xx” is the selected code from 1-
64. The code number and actual code are alternately displayed (NACs are displayed in
hexadecimal).
2 To select the displayed code and return to the normal display, press the SQ LIST
(Squelch Code Select) switch again.
3 To check which code is selected, press the SQ LIST option switch once to display the
current selection and then again to return to normal operation.
4 To return to the normal selective squelch codes, select “DEFAULT” in this mode. As
previously described, the normal codes are also automatically reselected whenever
radio power is cycled or a talk-around channel is selected.

Conventional Features
5.5 Penalty Timer
A penalty timer may be p rogrammed on conventi onal syst ems to preve nt transmi ssions fo r
the programmed time after the time-out timer disables the transmitter (see Section 4.3).
The penalty time r can be pr ogrammed for t he sa me times as t he t ime-out timer, and timing
starts when the PTT switch is released. If the PTT switch is pressed while the timer is
running the timer s top s, and continues when the PTT switch is released. When the penalty
timer expires, a beep sounds and the transmitter can then be keyed.
5.6 Conversation Timer
A conversation timer can be programmed on conventional systems in addition to the timeout timer (see Section 4.3). This timer limits that total length of a conversation rather than
just the length of each tra nsmission as with the time-out timer. The following is more
information on this timer.
• It can be programmed for times up to 7.5 minutes.
• It is reset wh en the time between transm issions exceeds the time programmed for the
penalty timer.
• A warning beep sounds five seconds before this timer disables the transmitter.
• When this timer disables the transmitter, a continuous tone sounds and the red transmit
indicator turns OFF. The PTT switch must then be released until the penalty timer
expires (indicated by a beep).
5.7 Repeater Talk-Around
Normally, all transmissions go through a repeater which usually increases range.
However, there may be times when a radio is out of range of the repeater and therefore
unable to talk to anyone even though the radio being called is only a short distance away.
To allow communication in this situation, repeater talk-around can be selected.
Transmissions then occur on the receive frequency which permits direct radio-to-radio
communication.
5-6 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
Repeater talk-around can be selected if the RTA option switch is programmed. This
feature can also be selected via the menu. When talk-around is enabled by this switch,
“RTA ON” is flashed in the display, and when it is disabled, “RTA OFF” is flashed. This

5.8 Displaying Transmit / Receive Frequency
If the DISP option switch is programmed, it can be used to display the channel frequency
in megahertz. Pressing this switch toggles between displaying the standard channel alias
and the frequency. The receive frequency is displayed while receiving and the transmit
frequency is displayed while transmitting. This feature may also be selected via the menu.
Conventional Features
This feature is available on conventional channels only.
5.9 Emergency Alarm and Call
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be individually enabled or
disabled on each analog and P25 conventional system. The Emergency option switch (or
menu selection) is required for these functions. Emergency Alarms and Calls are
transmitted on the global (radio wide) emergency zone/channel if one is programmed and
a smart console with message receiving capabilities is used. If it is not programmed, the
emergency is transmitted on the selected channel. The emergency programming of the
system to which that channel is linked controls the emergency operation.
5.9.1 Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special transmission that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency
situation. It is sent automatically by pressing Emergency option switch. The system to
which the emergency channel is linked must have Emergency Alarms enabled. If it does
not, Emergency Alarms are disabled. Emergency alarms and calls can be received on
smart consoles with message receiving capabilities.
In the P25 conventional mode, a special P25 emergency data transmission is sent, and in
the conventional analog mode, an DTMF emergency ID is sent. Refe r to Section 5.12.3 f or

5.10 Conventional Mode Scanning
Channel scanning features common to all operating modes are described in Sections 4.12
and 4.13. The following information describes features unique to conventional operation.
5.10.1 Selecting a Scan List
Conventional syste ms are pr ogrammed wit h a defa ult sc an lis t that is norma lly sel ecte d by
all channels in that system. However, there is a programmable option to slave a particular
conventional scan list to a zone. This then becomes the default list for all conventional
channels in that zone (it overrides the system programming). This slave feature is
programmed on the Edit Zone screen.
The default scan list (which is to be used by all conventional channels except those
belonging to slaved zo nes ), ca n be temporarily changed b y usi ng t he SCAN op ti on switch
or menu parameters. A scan list selected in this manner is retained through radio power
down.
5.10.1.1 Conventional Scan List Select Pro cedure
The scan list select procedure is as follows:
1 With scanning OFF, press and ho ld the SCAN option switc h until a t one soun ds (or us e
menu selection). Scanning is OFF when the rotating is not indicated in the right
status display. If required, turn scanning OFF by briefly pressing this switch. If the
SCAN option switch is pressed while scanning, Nuisance Channel Delete described in
Section 4.12.5 is performed.
2 The currently selected list is then indicated in the display as “SCAN LIST x”, where
“x” is the scan list number. Rotate the Select switch to select the desired list and then
exit this mode by pressing the Select or SCAN option switch. A single beep sounds
when the Select switch is pressed (if that option is selected).
5.10.2 Transmitting in Scan Mode
Each conventional scan list can be programmed for one of the following modes. These
modes determine if priority sampling occurs and also the channel on which transmissions
occur while scanning. Refer to the next section for m ore information on priority sampling.
No Priority - No priority channel sampling occurs when the list is selected. The radio
transmits on the selected channel.
5-10 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
Conventional Features
Priority Indicator
Priority/Tx Selected - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel or channels
are those programmed in the selected scan list. Th e radio transmits on the se lected
channel.
Priority/Tx Priority (1) - Priority sampling occurs and the priority channel or channels
are those programmed in the selected scan list. The radio transmits on the priority (1)
channel.
Priority (1) on Selecte d - The priority (1) channel is always the selected channel. The
radio trans mits on the selected channel.
Talkback - No priority sampling occurs. The radio transmits on the channel of a call
while scanning is halted or during scan hold time. Then once scanning resumes, it
transmits on the selected channel.
5.10.3 Priority Channel Sampling
The following describes priority sampling when scanning conventional channels.
Note Priority sampling when scanning SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 Trunked channels is
described in Section 6.11.1.
The priority channel sampling feature ensures that when priority scanning, messages on
the priority channel are not missed while listening to a message on some other channel.
The radio can be programmed as just described so that the priority channel is a fixed
channel pr ogrammed in the current s can list, the c urrently selected channel, or not used.
Note Priority channel sampling is not available when receiving analog encrypted (DES) calls.
In addition, the priority channel is not scanned if the active channel is an analog channel
on the same frequency as the priority channel and is programmed with CTCSS/DCS
squelch control.
Either a single or du al priority channel s c an be programmed if d esired. With dual pri ori ty,
a call on the second priority channel is interrupted by a call on the first priority channel but
not vice versa. Whe n scanning a nd the sel ected chan nel is a si ngle or fi rst pri ority cha nnel,
“P” is indicated in the left status display next to the zone number as follows:
This indication is displayed regardless of whether the priority channel is fixed or always
the selected channel. When the second priority channel is displayed, “2” is indicated
instead.
October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 5-11
Conventional Features
The priority channel sampling frequency is determined by the programmed Priority
Lookback Time A (see description which follows). For example, if 2.0 seconds is
programmed, the priority channel is sampled every 2.0 seconds when listening to a
message on a non-priorit y channel. When not listening to a message, the priorit y channels
are scanned in the normal scan sequence. With dual priority, the first and second priority
channels are alternately sampled at the Loopback Time.
Priority channel sampling occurs only with conventional scanning. It does not occur with
radio-wide scanning, when listening to any type of SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25 trunked
call, encry pted call, or when transmitting.
The priority sampling times are programmed by the following parameters:
Lookback Time A - This time dete rmines how o ften the prio rity c hannel is ch ecked fo r
activity. Times of 0.25-4.00 seconds in 0.25-second steps can be programmed.
Lookback Time B - This time dete rmines how often the priority channel i s checked
once an incorrect Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) or NAC code is detected. Since it takes
much longer to detect an incorrect Call Guard signal than a carrier, this time should be
relatively long to prevent the interruptions from making a message difficult to
understand. Times of 0.5-8.0 seconds can be programmed in 0.5-second steps.
5.10.3.1 Changing The Priority Channel
If a fixed priority channel is associated with the current scan list, it can be changed to
another channel if the Priority option switch is programmed (or by menu selection). With
dual priority, this changes only the first priority channel. To change both priority channels,
use the Scan List Edit function described in Sec tion 4.13.1. Proc eed as follows to change a
priority channel using the Priority option switch:
1 Make sure that both priority and radio wide scanning are OFF (the rotating icon is
not indicated in the right status display).
2 Select the channel that you wa nt to be the priorit y channel u sing th e Select sw itch in t he
normal manner. A single beep sounds when the channel is changed (if that option is
enabled). If the channel is in a different zone, also select the appropriate zone.
3 Press the Priority option switch and “PRIORITY” is briefly displayed to indicate that
the selected channe l is now t he priori ty channe l. Other i ndicati ons that ma y occur ar e as
follows:
- If “NO PRIORITY” is displayed, priority sampling may not be enabled on the scan
list.
- If “SEL CHAN” is displayed, the priority channel is always the selected channel and
cannot be changed.
- If no indication displayed, the scan list may not be user editable or the channel may
not be in the scan list.

5.11 Standard Conventional Calls
Standard convention al call s can be pl aced to ot her ra dios mo nitor ing the s elect ed channe l.
The proper coded Call Guard squelch tone or code or P25 NAC may need to be
transmitted by your radio for them to receive your call (see Sections 5.4 and 5.13.3).
5.11.1 Placing a Standard Conventional Call
To place a standard conventional call, proceed as follows:
1 Turn power ON and set the volume as described in Section 3.1. Select the channel
programmed for the radio you want to call (see Section 3.4.2).
2 Monitor the channel automatically or manually as described in Section 5.1.
3 Press the PTT switch and if the Busy Channel Lockout feature is programmed on the
channel, the transmitter is automatically disabled if the channel is busy (see Section
5.3). Otherwise, busy and out-of-range conditions are not indicated and speaking can
begin after monitoring the channel.
Conventional Features
4 Press (and hold) the PTT switch to talk and release it to listen. When the call is
finished, place the microphone back on-hook.
5.11.2 Receiving a Standard Conventional Call
To receive a standard conventional call, proceed as follows:
1 Select or scan the channe l prog rammed f or the c all you want to receive (refer to Sect ion
5.10 for more scanning information).
2 After the call is received, take the microphone off-hook and press the PTT switch to
talk and release it to listen. If scanning, responses may occur on the priority, selected,
or receive channel as described in Section 5.10.2.
3 When the call is finished, place the microphone back on-hook.
5.12 DTMF / ANI Signaling
DTMF (Dual Tone Multi-Freque ncy) t ones c an be ge nerat ed for ANI (Aut omatic Number
Identification) and other purposes on conventional analog channels. One of the following
options may be enabled on each channel:
October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 5-13
Conventional Features
When an emergency alarm or call is placed, this ANI signaling is replaced by the
Emergency DTMF ID (see Section 5.9). Refer to Section 5.12.3 for information on
MDC1200 ANI.
5.12.1 Single Tone Encoder
The radio will transmit and send a single tone as programmed in PC Configure. Single
tone ANI provides call -in signa ling, but d oes not prov ide ident ificat ion of indi vidual unit s,
i.e. all units use the same single tone. Generally 1050 Hz is used for single tone RTT, but
the radios and decoders must be pro gramma ble to ot her ton es in th e aud io range . All ton es
must have a +/-0.2% frequency stability, and the tone length must be programmable to a
pre-determined period of time from 0.5 to 2.5 seconds, in increments of 100 ms or less.
Pre-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is automat ically sent ea ch time the PTT
switch is pressed.
Post-Tx ANI - A preprogrammed ANI sequence is automatically sent each time the
PTT switch is released.
To use the single tone encoder functionality, program the radio with RTT with Single
Tone Encoder selected as the type of RTT. The radio transmits and sends a tone of the
programmed frequency and duration. When the tone is sent , all other radios on the syst em
will hear the tone transmitted, and need to open audio.
5.12.2 Five Tone Encoder
The radio transmits five tones. The first four tones are the Five Tone ID of the radio. The
last tone is based on the radio mode (Normal Call, Emergency Call, Secure Call).
5.12.3 MDC1200 Compatibility
MDC1200 is a signaling protocol designed and implemented by Motorola for analog
channels only. The following features of this protocol are supported. Either MDC1200 or
standard DTMF ANI/Emergency signaling can be programmed on each conventional
system.
Note This feature is hardwar e dep endent and there fore c annot be a dded to ot hers by upgradi ng
firmware).
MDC1200 ANI - Both pre and post ANI are supported.
MDC1200 Emergency Alert - A retry counter is implemented. Currently, ACKs are
not decoded so the radio retrys the programmed number of times with each emergency.
5-14 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
5.13 Project 25 Mode Features
The following features are unique to conventional P25 channels.
5.13.1 Digital Unit ID
Each radio that operates on Project 25 (digital) channels is programmed with an up-toeight-digit unit ID. This ID is unique for each radio and can be any number from 116,777,215. When power is turne d on with a Pro ject 25 channel select ed, thi s ID is brief ly
displayed.
5.13.2 Talk Group ID
Each Project 25 channel is programmed with a group ID that determines which group of
radios will receive the call. A call is received on a channel if a selected or scanned channel
is programmed with that ID and the correct NAC is detected (see following). Group IDs
can be any number from 1-65,535. Group ID detect can be disabled by the Normal/
Selective squelch function described in Section 5.4 and the Monitor Mode described in
Section 5.2.
Conventional Features
5.13.3 Network Access Code (NAC)
Project 25 conventional channels also use a NAC (Network Access Code) to control
which calls are received on a channel. The NAC can be 1-4095, and each transmit and
receive channel can be programmed for a different code. Other operation, such as
monitoring before tra nsmit t ing , is simi la r to that of analog channels. NAC (a nd gr oup I D)
detect can be disabled by the monitor mode described in Section 5.2.
5.13.4 P25 Group Calls
P25 Group calls are placed by simply selecting the channel programmed for the desired
group, monitoring the channel if required, and transmitting. When a P25 group call is
received, the alias (or frequency) of the selected channel is displayed. The radio can be
programmed so that the following are also displayed for 0.5-7.0 seconds or continuously
during the call.
P25 PTT ID - The unit ID of the radio placing the call is displayed.
P25 Talk Group - The alias of the talk group on which the call is being received is
displayed.

5.13.5 P25 Unit Calls
Unit calls (also called Individual Calls) can be placed to a specific radio on Project 25
channels using the Unit Call option switch (if programmed) or by menu selection. Only
the individual ID of the t arget rad io is sent (a ta lk group ID is not sent). The r adios that can
be called are preprogram med in the Un it Call list.
To receive a unit call, the RF channel of the call must be selected or scanned and the
correct NAC and unit ID must be detected. The ID of the calling radio is then transmitted
back. To respond to the call, the radio must be programmed with the Unit Call option
switch, and have a Unit Call programmed with the ID of the calling radio.
