PRODUCT SPECIFICATION FOR CE MARKED EQUIPMENT

M-RK Portables conform to the following Product Specifications.

EUROPEAN STANDARDS:

Safety Not Applicable EMC: prETS 300 279 (August 1995) TTD: Not Applicable

SUPPLEMENT ARY INFORMATION

At this time, the M-RK port able radio may not be operated while in a vehicular charger in the European Community since it does not meet immunity requirements when operated in this mode.

The M-RK portable radio may be used in both trunked and conv entional applications.

SAFETY INFORMATION

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985, has adopted a safety standard for the human exposure to radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Pr oper operation of this radio will result in user exposure far below the Occupational Safety and Health Act and Federal Communication Commission limits.

DO NOT

BATTERY CHARGING AND CARE

Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire - it may

explode, causing injury or death.

Do not replace the battery in hazardous atmosphere

locations.

Do not carry battery loose in your pocket or purse. Do not attempt to repair battery.

The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable, recyclable battery. At the end of its useful life under various state and local laws it may be illegal to dispose of this batter y into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details concerning recycling options or proper

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

Your radio comes supplied with a Ni-Cd battery pack which can be recharged from 500 to 1000 times before requiring replacement. The actual number of charge/recharge cycles vary depending upon usage. We recommend that the battery be charged 14 to 16 hours on the first charge cycle and then in accordance with the charger model instructions thereafter.

To remove the battery pack, push up on the battery latch and slide the battery pack to the right. To replace the battery , align the battery on the track and slide to the left until a click is heard, indicating the battery is correctly installed.

Figure 1 - Installing And Removing The Battery Pack

If the battery is to be charged on the radio, turn the power switch on the radio to the off position before charging. F ailing to turn the power s witch to off during the charge cycle will result in a less than full charge condition, which will noticeably reduce the operating time between charges!

Normal battery operation time is 8 hours. This may vary depending upon how much the receiver audio is present and how much you transmit. The actual time may vary from day to day depending upon operational requirements.

FOR BEST PERFORMANCE

1. Charge battery to full capacity , 14 hours at the standard C/10 rate (capacity X .10). For "rapid" chargers, allow additional time (2-3 hours) for "topping off" the charge after it switches from "fast" to "slow".

2. Use the battery soon and use as much of the battery capacity as possible or practical. A battery that is charged and discharged completely will maintain the longest running time capacity. Also, several charge/discharge cycles are recommended to bring a new battery up to its rated capacity.

3. Store and charge the batteries at room temperature 65°F to 75°F. Batteries that have been stored f or over a month should be recharged before putting into service due to chemical self-discharge which occurs at a rate of approximately 1% per da y. Do not charge cold batteries (40°F or below).

4. Reduced capacity or "memory effect" may result from repeated identical shallow discharge/full recharge cycles. If such a condition is suspected, run the battery until the instrumentation loses all power, then fully recharge and discharge again. Repeat this cycle 3-4 times.

EXTENDED OPERATIONS

When operating in "Fringe Areas" at some distance from the System, the other par ty may not receive your transmission clearly . Also, you may notice that the background noise will increase on received signals. Moving to higher ground or moving closer to the System will help alleviate these problems. If moving closer to the System is not practical, communication may be improved by moving away from shielding structures. If you are in a building interior, mo ve closer to a window (preferab ly one generally in the direction of the System). At 800 MHz the wave length is very short, sometimes moving a few inches to a few feet can mak e significant signal strength changes. Finding the best location can also be done while listening to the background noise while moving about; attempt to find a spot where the background noise is reduced to a minimum or eliminated entirely. This may make the difference from not being heard, to being heard loud and clear when operating in the fringe areas of your System coverage.

The fringe distance will vary greatly from plains areas , hilly terrain and mountain top sites.

FCC LICENSING

This unit may or may not require a specific FCC license to operate. The FCC requires all tr ansmitters in the conventional and some Trunked Systems to be licensed by the F ederal Communications Commission. Some Tr unked operations a re now exempt from in dividual licen sin g r e qu ir e me nt s but must be op erat ed in a licensed System.

Consult your dealer regarding specific licensing information, or contact the Federal Communications Commission.

For more information regarding the FCC license application (Form 571), call 717-337-1212, or contact the FCC District Office nearest your location.

TRANSCEIVER SERVICE

There are no user serviceable components inside the radio. Altering the inter nal components or adjustments may result in illegal emissions, including off-frequency operation, or damage to the radio.

Should an display , or the LCD f ails to display information, or all icons and display segments are shown, turn the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control OFF then ON to reset the microprocessor. Ensure that the battery is fully charged and check that the antenna is securely tightened.

If the unit still fails to operate properly, refer to an Authorized Service Center for servicing.

INTRODUCTION

This manual describes how to use the EDA CS M-RK II Portable Radio. The M-RK II is a synthesized, micr oprocessor-based, high performance portable FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking environment and conventional communication systems.

In the EDACS or trunked system mode, the user selects a communications system and group. In this mode, 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 directly communicates 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 may be enabled or disabled through programming. Consult the system administrator f or the particular features that are programmed into the M-RK II.

USER INTERFACE

The M-RK II operating controls are located on the radio’s front, top and left panels. A 15-button keypad, liquid crystal display (LCD) for radio status information, microphone and speaker are on the front panel. The top panel houses a rotary SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control knob and a protected red EMERGENCY button. An OPTION button, CLEAR/MONITOR button and the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button are all located on the left side panel. The Universal Device Connector (UDC) is located on the right panel and is used while programming the radio and for accessory connection.

The keypad is used for manual number entry for individual calls, access to a telephone interconnect system, and activation of various EDACS or conventional features such as menu selection or scan operations.

The display has two, eight-alphanumeric-character lines used to show the operational mode of the radio. Fifteen status indicators, used to indicate various operating conditions such as transmitter on, channel busy, scanning, or low battery, are located above and to the right side of the character lines within the display. A back light illuminates the display and the k eypad for nighttime use.
