such as private comm un ic at io ns en abled, tra ns m it te r on, or emer ge nc y m od e enabled.

The exact operation of your radio will vary depending upon the mode of operation, the radio’s programming, and the particular radio system. Consult your radio system’s representative for par ticular features that are programmed into your radio.

CONTROLS

ON/OFF SWITCH

The ON/OFF SWITCH is loc ated on the batt ery pack. Sliding this switch up will supply power to the radio from the battery pack. An audible click will be heard and the "ON" indic a tor will be exposed. When the radio is turned on, it will perform a power-up self test and then resum e oper ation o n the pr e vious operating channel as displayed in the LCD. Sliding the swi tc h down will turn the ra di o off.

The 8-digit alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD) on th e front of the radio displays the operating status of th e r a di o. T hi s backlit d is play al so h as e ig ht status fl ags t hat indi cate v ari ous oper at ing cond itio ns

VOLUME CONTROL KNOB

The VOLUME CONTROL KNOB is a rotatable control on the top of the radio used to adjust the receiver’s audio level in the speaker. Rotating this

knob in a clockwise direction will increase the audio level. Counter-clockwise rotation will decrease the audio le v el. Min imum le v els ma y be prog ramme d into the radio to prevent missed calls due to too low of a volum e se tt in g.

CONTROL KNOB

The rotatable 16-position CONTROL KNOB located on the top of the radio selects the operating channel. A stop plat e may be insta lled under the knob to limit the maximum number of positions to less than sixteen (16). It is normally factory installed for fifteen (15) positions.

squelch an d the receiver noise will be heard in the speaker.

If programmed e nabled for the selected channel, Channel Guard (CG) and/or Type 99 (T99) signalling will be enabled when the channel is selected. If CG and/or T99 are en abled, th e appropriate stat us flag "CG" and/or "T99" will turn on. The MONITOR BUTTON may then be used to toggle CG and/or T99 between disabled and enabled by pressing and holding the it for at least one (1) second; the appropriate status flag will toggle on or off. The MONITOR BUTTO N is als o use d to re set T 99 oper at ion afte r a cal l is received.

PTT BUTTON

Pressing the PTT BUTTON on the side of the radio will enable the radio’s transmitter. The "TX" status fl ag in the d ispl a y w il l turn on when th e r adi o is transmit ti ng . Releasing t he P TT BUT TON will retu rn operation to receive mode.

MONITOR BUTTON

The MONITOR BUTT ON is used to unsquelch the receiver. Momentarily pressing this button will disable

EMERGENCY BUTTON

The EMERGENCY BUTTON is the small red button lo cated on top of the radi o near the ante nna. If this button is programmed for emergency operation, pressing it for at least one (1) second will cause the radio to t ransmit GE- STAR emergency sign alling. The "EMG" status flag will turn on. GE-STAR is tr ansmitted according to one of several different programmable methods. See EMERGENCY OPERATION for de- tails.

This button may also be programmed as a home mode button. If programmed in this manner, pressing it will switch operation to the programmed home mode.

INDICATORS

The eight (8 ) status flags locat ed along the top and bottom of the display indicate operating status as follows:

EMG EMerGency mode - On indicates emer-

gency GE-STAR signalling has been initiated by the user.

The radio’s liquid crystal dis pla y (LCD) located on the front panel has eight (8) alphanumeric characters and eigh t (8) stat us flags. This display indicate s the current op erating channel an d various messa ge s .

LCD backlighting will turn on for a short period anytime an acti v e bu tton i s pre ssed o r the CON TR OL KNOB is rotated. Backlighting may be programmed to remain off at all times.

Figure 2 - Liquid Crystal Display

HI HIgh power transmit - On indicates the

selected channel has been programmed for high power transmit operation. Off indicates low power transmit.

T99 Type 99 tone decode - On indicates Type

99 tone decoding is enabled on the selected channel. Flashing indicates a T99 selective call has been received and the radio must be reset to receive another T99 call.

PVT PriVaTe mode - On indicates private

mode is enabled and the radio will transmit encrypted messages on the selected channel. Flashing indicates an encrypted message is being received.

TX Transmitter enabled - On when the radio

is transmitting.

BSY BuSY - On indicates a carrier is being

received (the channel is busy). Note that if the selected channel is programmed for

Channel Guard (CG), Digital Channel Guard (DCG), or Type 99 (T99) tone decode operation, the radio may not unsquelch if a valid tone(s) is not received; the BSY status flag will be on.

CG Channel Guard - On indicates tone Chan-

nel Guard (CG) or Digital Channel Guard (DCG) encode/decode is enabled on the selected channel.

BAT BATtery low - On indicates the battery

pack’s charge is low.

UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR

The Universal Device Connector (UDC) is located on the side of the radio just above the PTT and MONITOR BUTTONS. This connector provides connections for the exte rnal access ories such as a h eadset, a speaker-mike, or an emergency lanyard. When the radio is locked in a vehicular charger/repeater the UDC provides the audio and control connections between the radio and the vehicular cha rger/repeater. The UDC is also used by the maintenance personnel when the radio is programmed.

ALERT TONES

The M-PA uses alert tones or "beeps" to indicate various operating conditions. The alert tones may be disabled when the radio is programmed.

CARRIER CONTROL TIMER

This feature, programmable on a per channel basis, prevents unnecessary channel traffic and radio damage in the event of a "stuck" mic. If the programmed timer times-ou t during a transmission the radio will so und an al er t tone and disable the trans mission . The beepin g tone w ill con tinue unti l the PT T BUTTON is released. Releasing the PTT BUTTON resets the ti m er.

CHANNEL BUSY

If the radio is receiving a signal when the PTT BUTTON is pressed, an aler t tone will warn the operator that the radio is receiving a carrier and the transmission will not occur. "RX BUSY" is displayed and the alarm is sounded as long as the PTT BUTTON is presse d. This f e atur e i s pr og ram mab l e on or off on a per channel basis.

RECEIVE ONLY CHANNEL

CRYPTOGRAPHIC KEY HANDLING

If the selected channel is programmed as receive only the radio will sound an alert tone if a transmission is attempted. "RX ONLY" is displayed.

RADIO/CHANNEL FAILURE

If the synthesizer is unable to lock correctly on the selected channel, or another radio failure occurs, an alert tone will sound. If incorrect programming is detecte d or the synthesizer fails to lock, the displ ay flashes "NO LOCK" then the selected channel’s name.

OPERATION

POWER-UP

After the battery pack and antenna have been installed, turn the radio on by sliding the ON/OFF SWITCH on the battery pack up. After the radio has completed a pow er-u p self- test, it will begin o pera tion on the last oper at ing s tate as di sp la y e d in t he LC D. If programmed on, th e power-up aler t tone (beep) will be heard.

Crypt ograp hi c keys are transferred int o th e radi o using the Keyloader, Option V4025. Refer to the Keyloader operator’s manual (LBI-31541) for detailed instructions on how to load keys into the Keyloader.

The radio is capable of storing up to seven (7) different cr yptograp hic keys in its memor y. It is programmed for key selection on a per channel basis.

NOTE

Before private messages can be sent or received, one or more cryptographic keys must be transferred into the radio from the Keyloader.

Transferring Keys Into The Radio

The following procedure outlines basic key transferring steps. See LBI-31541 for more details.

1. Turn the radio off.

2. Plug the modular connector of the Key-

loader cable into the Keyloader’s modular jack.

3. Connect the Ke yloader cable to the UDC on

the radio.

4. Press the PWR button on the Ke yloader and wait for the Keyloader to display "MASTER MODE".

5. Press the TRN button on the Keyloader. If necessary, select a different cryptographic key to be transferred into the radio.

6. Turn the radio on. The display should read "KEY LOAD".

7. Press the EXE button on the Keyloader to transfer the key. The Keyloader will display "GOOD 1.x TRANSFER" where "x" is the selected cryptographic key number.

8. Disconnect the cable from the radio’s UDC. A single beep will be heard from the radio’s speaker if the power-up alert tone is enabled. The radio will change to the selected channel as indicated in the display.

Key Zero

All cryptographic keys stored in the radio can be zeroed or "dumped" by removing the battery pack for several minutes (typica lly thre e). When the battery pack is late r reinst alle d and th e radio is powered-up, it will displa y "KEY ZERO" and emit a series of beeps. If cry pt ograp hi c key(s) are zero ed, o ne or mo re keys must be transfe r red in to th e radio from th e Keyloader before private communications may continue. Disassembling the front half of the radio from the rear half will also zero all keys.

RECEIVING A MESSAGE

1. Slide the ON/OFF SWITCH on the battery

pack to the on position. The radio will initiate and complete the power-up self-test and beep if the power-up alert tone is programmed on.

2. Select the desired channel.

3. Press the MONITOR BUTTON to disable

squelch and adjust the VOLUME CONTROL for the approximate desired speaker audio level. Pressing the MONITOR BUTTON ma y affect Channel Guard and/or Type

99 tone operation if programmed for the selected channel.

4. If the selected channel is programmed for private operation, the radio will automatically switch between clear or private receive operation.

When an encrypted transmission is received, the "PVT" status flag will flash, the receiver will unsquelch, and the Voice Guard message will be heard in the speaker . The selected channel must be programmed for priv ate operation and the cor rect cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio for this to occur.

If a clear mode (non-encrypted) transmission is received, the receiv er will unsquelch and it will be heard in the speak er. Howe ver , if the selected channel is programmed for Channel Guard or Type 99 tone operation, the receiver will not unsquelch unless the correct CG or T99 tone is received.

5. Adjust the volume as necessary.

TRANSMITTING A MESSAGE

1. Select the desired channel. If a channel

programmed for private operation is selected and there is no key in the r adio for the selected channel "NO KEY x" (where "x" is the key number) will periodically flash in the display. If a transmission is attempted, "NO KEY x" will show in the display and the r adio will emit a series of beeps and will not transmit.

2. Ensure no one is transmitting on the selected channel by pressing the MONITOR BUTTON to disable squelch or observing the display for the absence of the "BSY" status flag. If the Channel Busy Lockout feature is programmed for the selected channel, the radio will not transmit when the channel is busy.

3. Press and hold the PTT BUTT ON. The "TX" and "BSY" status flags are displayed.

4. Hold the radio approximately three inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone in a normal voice.

5. Release the PTT BUTT ON when the tr ans-

mission is complete. If the transmission exceeds the programmed Carrier Control Timer limit, the radio will unkey and an alert tone will sound.

6. Listen for a reply.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

• GE-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the channel is changed the emergency bursts will follow the newly selected channel.

• The radio switches to and stays on a predetermined channel and GE-STAR is transmitted on that channel. Rotating the CONTROL KNOB will not change channels. Turning the radio off and back on will reset this condition.

The radio may be pr ogrammed to transmit GESTAR emergency signalling when the EMERGENCY BUTTON is pressed or fro m a UDC connected l anyard. If the EMERGENCY BUTTON is programmed for GE-STAR emergency activation, press it for approximately on e (1) se cond to activate th e transmis sion. If the lanyard is programmed for activation, follow the ins tructions provided wit h it. GE-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:

• GE-STAR is transmitted on a pr edetermined channel regardless of the selected channel. In this case the selected channel is available for voice and the radio will periodically "jump" to the predetermined channel and send the emergency message and then "jump back" to the selected channel for voice operation.

• GE-STAR is sent on the selected channel and the radio locks onto that channel. Rotating the CONTROL KNOB will not change channels. Turning the radio off and then back on will reset this condition.

OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition is important when operatin g a po rtable r ad io. Operati ng th e r adio in l ow areas of terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal or steel framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains and buildings can also reduce the range of the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improv ement ma y be obtained by insuring that the antenna is vertical. Mo ving a few y ards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also

improve comm unication. 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.

Always obser ve all of the Federal Communication Commission’s rules and regulations.

OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

serve the display for the absence of the "BSY" status flag before transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. If someone is sending an emergency message - such as reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident - KEEP OFF THE AIR!

2. The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Com munications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio operation. Following these rules will help eliminate confusion, assure the most efficient use of the existing radio channels, and r esult in a smoothly functioning radio network.

When using your two-wa y radio, rem ember these rules :

1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. As your radio operates in much the same way as a telephone "party line", always listen to mak e sure that the channel is clear and/or ob-

3. It is against the law to send false call letters , or false distress or emergency messages.

4. The FCC requires that you keep conversations brief and confine them to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possi bl e.

5. Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. You may send only those messages that are essential for the operation of your business.

6. It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything you o verhear on your radio. Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as confidential.

7. The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific times by means of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your particular type of operation for the proper procedure.

8. No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified electronic technician.

BATTERY PACKS

3. Align the battery pack and radio slide

grooves. See Figure 3.

4. Slide the battery pack fully into the radio until the battery release latch clicks into place.

INSTALLING THE BATTERY PACK

1. Ensure the ON/OFF SWITCH on battery

pack is in the off position.

2. Hold the radio and battery pack with the back of them facing you.

Figure 3 - Installing the Battery Pack

REMOVING THE BATTERY PACK

1. Ensure the ON/OFF SWITCH on the battery

pack is in the off position.

2. Press down on the battery release latch and slide the battery pack out in the direction of the release latch. See Figure 4.

Figure 4 - Removing the Battery Pack

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACKS

After receiving a new rechargeable battery pack from the factory, it should be fully charged before placing it into service. T his also applies to r echargeable batteries that have been stored f or long periods. When the battery pack requires charging the radio will signal the operator with an alert tone and the "BAT" status flag will turn on.

Chargers are available with nominal charge times of 1 hour (rapid) and 14 hours (standard). Combinations include single (1) and multi (5) position, standard and rapid charge units. In addition, the vehicular chargers/repeaters simultaneously charge the battery packs while the radio is operating. For specific instructions refer to the applicable charger Operating Manual.

The rechargeable batteries used with the radio can dev elop a reduced capacity condition sometimes called the "Memory Effect". T his condition can occur when a battery is continuously charged for long periods or when a regularly performed duty cycle allows the battery to expend only a limited portion of its capacity. The battery pack may show a severe decrease in its ability to deliver full capacity for an extended period. Any rechargeable battery pack showing signs of reduced capacity should be returned to a qualified service center for inspection.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK DISPOSAL

The product that you have purchased co ntains a re chargeable, recyclable battery. At the end of it’s useful life, under variou s stat e a nd lo ca l l aws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery

into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid wa ste officials f or details in you r area for r ecycling options or proper disp osal. Call Toll F ree 1-80 0-8-BATTERY fo r information and/or procedur es for re turning rechargeable batteries in your state.

SWIVEL MOUNT REMOVAL AND

REPLACEMENT
