INTRODUCTION

This manual describes how to use the IPE-200 Portable Radios. The IPE (Infinity) is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, duplex portable FM radio providing reliable 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.

ALERT TONES

The IPE-200 radios generate a set of unique alert tones to indicate operating status. The following section identifies and describes the alert tones used in the Duplex radio for EDACS applications.

CALL ORIGINATE ALERT

If programmed, a short tone is sounded whenever the

key or PTT button is pressed and the radio has acquired a channel. T his tone indicates the user ma y begin communications.

CALL QUEUED

If no tone is heard after the transmitter is keyed and the display flashes, this indicates that the system has placed the request in a queue. If the

key or PT T button is pressed while in queue, the radio autokeys (automatically keys) when a channel becomes available (see AUTOKEY).

AUTOKEY

When the

ke y or PTT button is pressed to place a call on the system, but is released bef ore the channel is assigned (e.g. a queued call), the radio automatically keys on the channel when it gets the assignment. The radio gener ates a long beep and holds the transmitter keyed for two seconds. Pressing the

key or PTT button keeps the channel and sends the message before this two second time-out has expired.

SYSTEM BUSY

If after pressing

key or PTT button a short tone is

heard and the words SYS BUSY appear on the display, this indicates that your calling par ty is either already on the system or the system queue is full. You must rekey later to access the system.

CALL DENIED

If after pressing

key or PTT button a short tone is

heard and the word DENIED appears on the display, this indicates that the system has denied your request. This happens when either the caller or callee unit LIDs are not valid on the system.

OUT OF RANGE SYSTEM INOPERATIVE

A single tone sounds immediately after the

key or PTT button is pressed indicating the radio is out of range of the repeater . The radio tries to place the call for a short period (3 seconds) after the initial attempt. The radio generates a second low pitched tone when it gives up tr ying to place the call. The system is off the air or the radio needs servicing when the radio is within calling range, and these tones are heard. Observe the SERV icon and the CCSCAN display to determine when the system is in range and/or operational again.

AUDIBLE SIGNALS Ringing Signal

The ringing signal sounds when a call is received. It will be repeated until the call is answered or is terminated by the system.

There is a special function to allow you to set the volume of the ringing signal. The r inging volume can be set to one of several different signals. See the chapter

User Menu Functions

Error Signal

A short beep tells you have done something incorrectly . For e xample, if you try to store a telephone number in a memor y loc ation that is already in use, or if you try to place a call when the SERV indicator is not present in the display.

Malfunction Alarm Signal

BATTERIES AND RECHARGING

BATTERIES

The Ericsson IPE- 200 is designed for use with high quality Ericss on batteries provided in the package. Use of other batteries should be av oided as it ma y 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.

An alert tone sounds for a short time and the message

LOW BATT

flashes in the display. The symbol will

also flash.

If the radio is left on, the low battery aler t will sound

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.

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 Free 1-800-8-BATTERY for information and/or procedures for returning rechargeable batteries in your state.

Inserting and Removing a Battery

Standard Battery

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 5°C or 40°F, or above 40°C or 105°F.

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.

Using a Desk-Top Charger

1. Connect the AC Adapter to the desk-top charger.

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.

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.
