INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the DPE-100/200
Por table Radios. The DPE is a synthes ized, microprocessor-based, duplex portable FM radio providing reliab le
two-way communications in Enhanced Digital Access
Communications System (EDACS) trunking environments.
Duplex is provided in EDACS systems while operating in the Telephone Interconnect Mode. At other times ,
the radio provides simplex communications, i.e. when
placing group calls in the EDACS environment. In an
EDA CS trunked environment the user selects a communications system. In this mode, channel selection is
transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system controller. This provides advanced programmab le features and fast access to communication channels.
The exact operation of the r adio depends on the radio
mode, the operating mode, the radio’ s programming, and
the par ticular radio system. Most features described in
this manual may be enabled or disabled through programming. Consult the system administrator for the required features to be programmed into the radio.
Indicates Interconnect/Dispatch Model Only op-
eration or feature.

BATTERIES AND RECHARGING
BATTERIES
The Ericsson DPE- 100/200 is designed for use with
high quality Eric ss on batteries provided in the package.
Use of other batteries should be avoided as it may be
hazardous and may result in voiding your radio’s warranty.
Battery Level Indicator
A number from B0 to B5, based on the battery level
is shown on the right of the display . A fully charged battery
will show B5. A battery whic h is almost discharged will
indicate B1 or B0.
Low Battery Alert
Your radio should typically provide ninety (90) minutes
of continuous talk-time before needing to be recharged.
46
An alert tone sounds for a short time and the message
LOW BATT
flashes in the display. The top LED will also
flash red rapidly.
If the radio is left on, the low battery alert will be
repeated sev eral times and, eventually, the radio will turn
itself off.
If the low battery alarm sounds while a call is in
progress, you should end the call as quic kly as possible.
If the call continues, the radio will turn itself off after a
short period.
Care and Maintenance
The batteries are of Nickel Metal Hydride type. They
have a long maintenance-free service life if properly
treated.
• Discharge battery completely before recharging.
• Never let a battery get into contact with metal
objects that may short-circuit the battery poles, for
example a bunch of keys in a pocket.
• Do Not disassemble a battery.
• A battery may explode if disposed of in a fire.
• Us e only Ericss on specified batteries and charg-
ers.
47
Rechargeable Battery Pack Disposal
The product that you ha ve purchased contains a rechargeable battery . The battery is
recyclable. At the end of its useful life,
under various state and local laws, it may
be illegal to dispose of this battery into the
municipal waste stream. Check with your
local solid waste officials for details in your
area for recycling options or proper disposal. Call Toll

RECHARGING
Your charger is intended for indoor use only. Keep
charger and AC adaptor dry . Do not use in or near water .
Avoid recharging a battery before the low battery alert
is displayed.
Nev er recharge a battery when the ambient tempera-
ture is below 5ºC or 40ºF, or above 40ºC or 105ºF.
The LED on the charger will indicate that charging is
in progress. Remove the battery when the LED turns
green. Do not leave the batter y in the charger for more
than 48 hours. Over-charging may reduce battery life.

2. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
3. Remove the battery from the radio and lay it on
the desk-top charger , r adio side down. F or longest battery life,remove the battery after charging.
51
Restoring Battery Capacity
If you often recharge a battery before the low battery
alarm has been issued, the battery’s ability to accept
charge may be impaired. This will result in less and less
time between recharges. To restore the battery, perform
the following:
1. Use the radio as you normally would, until the
low battery alarm has been issued.
2. Allow the radio to remain on until it turns itself
off.
3. Charge the battery using the desk-top charger.
After discharging and recharging the battery this wa y,
it can be used for a longer period before the next recharge
is required. To get the longest period between charges,
repeat this procedure 3 or 4 times.
Also if a battery has not been used for several months,
it may require 3 or 4 charge-discharge cycles to return to
full capacity.
