3 OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low
lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can
severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the
antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also
improve communications. 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.
3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION
For optimum audio clarity at the receiving radio(s), hold the portable radio approximately two inches
from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when r ecei ving or transmitting a message.
Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not hold when transmitting a
message.
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!
3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn
may result if a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a
damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing
could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations.
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
regulations. (Refer to Table 7-1.)
3.1.2 Electronic Devices

5 BATTERIES
The P5300 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH), or Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Please follow the directions b elow to maximize the
useful life of each type of battery.
Do not disassemble or modify Lithium-Ion battery packs. The Lithium-Ion battery
packs are equipped with builtfeatures be disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak acid,
overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contac t
with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery
electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician
immediately.
5.1 CONDITIONING BATTERY PACKS
5.1.1 Conditioning NiMH Battery Packs
Condition a new NiMH batt ery before putting into use. Th is also applies to rechargeabl e NiMH batteries
that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging
and fully discharging the battery three (3) ti mes usin g the t ri-che mistry charger. The first time th e b attery

5.1.2 Conditioning NiCd Battery Packs
A new NiCd battery does not require conditioning before use. However, Harris recommends periodically
conditioning NiCd batteries to avoid t he memory effect which results when a NiCd bat tery is repeatedly
charged and not fully discharged, further resulting in a lower volt age and a lower capacity. Fortunately,
both nominal voltage and capacity are restored through battery conditioning.
Conditioning requires fully charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the trichemistry charger. The first time the battery is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based
battery packs by automatically chargi ng and discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the approp riate
charger manual for details.

and conditioners may void the warranty.
5.1.3 Storing Li-Ion Battery Packs
If a battery pack is expected to be idle for a month or more, it should be properly prepared. Li-Ion battery
packs should not be stored fully charged. Before storing the battery pack, discharge it to 40% capacity. If
the battery is not discharged prior to storage, its overall capacity may be reduced. Although all b attery
packs experience some capacity loss during storage, the shelf life for Li-Ion battery packs is about 3
months. However, note that any capacity drop which occurs during storage is permanent and cannot be
reversed. Li-Ion battery packs should be purchased and used immediately. They should not be stockpiled without a rotating stock plan.
5.1.4 Additional Information

maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367 which may be ordered by calling toll free 1-800-368-3277
(international - 1-434-455-6403) or via https://premier.pspc.harris.com/infocenter/.
5.2 CHARGING B ATTERY PACKS
Battery chargers are available fro m Harris with nominal charge times. Combin ations include single and
multi-position charge units.
Harris charge rs are specifically designed for charging nickel-based and Lithium-Ion batt ery packs. The
chargers are chemistry-specific for the battery packs and automatically adjust the charging profiles
accordingly. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for specific operating instructions.
Observe the following guidelines when charging a battery pack:
• Avoid high temperature during charging.
• Discontinue use if the charger is overheating.
• Only charge Harris battery packs using a charger approved for use by Harris.
• Do not leave batteries in the charger indefini tely. For best results leave the battery in the charger for
two to six hours after the Green Ready LED comes on. Then place the battery pack into service and
fully discharge (as indicated by the radio lo w battery warning) before re-charging.
If any faults are encountered while charging the battery pack, consult the charger’s manual to determine
the cause and possible corrective action.
5.3 BATTERY PACK USAGE
Both Nickel-based and Lithium-Ion batteries vary in capacity and life cycle. For instance, NiCd batteries
have a longer life cycle than NiMH b atteries whereas NiMH batteries have a larger capacity. Howev er,
both Nickel-based and Lithium-Ion type batteries require basic usage guidelines be followed in order to

6 INTRODUCTION
The P5300 series portable radio is available in two models: the P5350 Scan model with a limited 6-button
front-mounted keypad and the P5370 System model with a 15-button DTMF front-mounted keypad. The
P5300 portable radio delivers end-to-end digital voice and IP data communications. It is designed to
support multiple operating modes including:
• OpenSky
• EDACS
• Conventional Analog mode
The P5300 portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be
added with software updates.
The P5300 supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features, including voice group calls,
priority scanning, emergency calls, late call entry, and dynamic reconfiguration. It performs autonomous
roaming for wide area applications. High quality voice coding and robust audio components assure
speech clarity.
In the trunked modes, the user selects a communicati ons “operating” system (i.e., OpenSky or EDACS)
and group. While communicating in a trunked mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and is
controlled via digital communication with the system controller (e.g., base station in an OpenSky system
or a CSD in an EDACS system). This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to
communication channels.
®
Trunked Protocol (OTP)
®
Trunked mode
In Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel. 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 can be enabled through programming.
Consult your System Administrator for the particular features programmed into your P5300.
The P5300 series portable radios operate reli ably even under adv erse conditions. These rad ios meet MILSTD-810F specifications for wind driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.
The Universal Device Connector (UDC) provides connections for external accesso ries such as a headset
or a speaker-microphone and for programming cables. The UDC is located on the right side of the radio,
opposite the PTT Button. The UDC facilitates programming and testing the radio. The UDC pins
perform different functions depending on the accessory attached t o the UDC.

9 OPENSKY OPERATION
Once an OpenSky system has been selected from the available systems on your P5300 series portable
radio, the characteristics described in the following sections will govern operation.
9.1 CONTROLS
The P5300 portable radio features two rotary control knobs, an emergency button, and a dual-position
A/B switch, all located on the top of the radio (see Figure 9-1). The Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and two
option buttons are located to the left side of the radio keypad (see Figure 9-2). The front mounted keypad
of the P5370 “System” model has 15 buttons and the P5350 “Scan” model has six buttons.
9.1.1 Buttons, Knobs, and Switch
The functions of the buttons, knob controls, and dual position A/B Switch vary depending on the mode of
operation. Their functions while in the OpenSky mode of operation are discussed in the following
paragraphs.

MM-008212-001, Rev. L
9.3 TRI-COLOR L ED
Figure 9-6: Tri-Color LED
The Tri-Color LED changes color to indicate radio status and is visible from both the front and top of the
radio (see Figure 9-6). The radio states reflected by the LED are:
Green: Receiving
Red: Transmitting
If the LED is flashing rapidly, the radio is receiving an emergency call. If the
LED is flashing every ½ second, the selected talk grou p is in th e emergency state
(although not transmitting). If the selected talk group is in the emergency state,
an asterisk will be displayed next to the talk group name.
9.4 LOG IN TO THE NETWORK
Log in occurs either auto matically (auto registration) if the radio has a valid registration or, if enabled,
requires the user to enter a User ID and password.
To manually register:
1. Press *1.
2. Enter the full 10-digit User ID.
3. Press the key.
4. Enter the password.
• If the radio is configured for alpha-numeric passwords and the password has consecutive
duplicate numbers (“MES33” for example), enter #, the key, between the consecutive
duplicate numbers so the radio will not interpret t he entry as a letter (“D” in this example).
• If the radio is configured for numeric-only passwords, do not press the key between
duplicated numbers.
5. Press the key twice for alphanumeric p asswords; press the once for numeric only passwords.
The User ID may be remembered from the previous log in. (Refer to Section 9.5 for further details
regarding log-off commands.) The password will be established before the radio is put into operation.
Contact the local OpenSky network administrator for more information.
30
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
NOTE
If necessary, contact radio system ad ministration personnel for log in assistance and/or
radio-specific log in instructions.
9.5 LOG OFF THE NETWORK
The *0## command de-registers the radio. Typically, this is automatically performed when powering
down the radio. Using this method, the User ID is remembered by the radio so only the password is
needed at next log in.
If a user is logged in, it is necessary to log-off.
9.6 PERSONALITY
As illustrated in Figure 9-7, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to the u ser. It is
the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator
to provide the user with a comprehensiv e set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary
talk groups or individuals.
Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio. This process is called
“provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at radio power-up (if the personality is not already stored in the
radio’s memory) and at user log in (if the radio has been deregistered). When changes are made to the
personality, the radio is automatically re-provisioned. Each personality can contain up to sixteen (16)
profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups.
9.6.1 Profiles
As stated above, each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. A profile also defines the radio’s
emergency behavior. All transmissions are made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of
the dwell display). The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk groups within the
profile.

9.6.2 Talk Groups
A talk group represents a set of users that reg ularly need to commun icate with one another. There can be
any number of authorized users assigned to a talk group. Talk groups are established and organized by the
OpenSky network administrator. An OpenSky talk group is similar to a channel within a conventional FM
radio system.
9.7 OPENSKY DISPLAY OVERVIEW
The 12-character x 3-line display shows the radio status. The first two lines of the display are text lines
that change in response to user interaction with the menu buttons. Status icons appear in the bottom line
(line 3) of the display (see Table 9-2).
9.7.1 Display’s Top Line
The display’s top line of text changes as the and buttons are pressed to scroll through the
available menu options (see Table 9-4). When the dwell display is present, the select ed talk g roup will be
displayed. Other information, such as al er t messages will scroll across the top line of the display.
9.7.2 Display’s Second Line
The second line will display information such as active menu, log in p rompt, emergency status, and dwell
display messages as described in the following section.
9.7.3 Dwell Display
When not engaged in menu selection, the first two lines of the display default to the user-defined display,
known as the “dwell display.” The top lin e indicates the currently selected talk group. The second line
will display the currently selected profile, cal ler ID/alias
(if the channel menu is enabled). Press the button repeatedly to scroll through and view one of these
second line options.

9.11.5 Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (P5370 onl y)
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) is the system used by touch-tone telephones. DTMF assigns a
specific tone frequency to each key so a microprocessor can easily identify its activation . This allows for
specific tasks such as entering a user ID and password, or selective calling.
When a key on the DTMF keypad is pressed, the DTMF tone is played through the radio’s speaker.

9.15 STEALTH MODE
For some users, it is important to be able to turn off the radio’s display lights and side tones, but not the
radio traffic. For example, in covert operations, lights and sounds could inadvertently expose an
otherwise unobservable radio user. For this purpose, the radio has a Stealth feature that disables the r adio
display light, indicator light, and audible side tones.
40
When Stealth Mode is on, the radio continues to scan the programmed list of talk groups and the user can
key-up on the selected talk group.

turn Stealth Mode off. For example, pressing the button on the front panel will
turn Stealth Mode off.
9.16 ADJUSTING SIDE TONE AUDIO LEVEL
The radio sounds confirming tones called “side tones” when its buttons are pressed. Most us ers find this
audible confirmation helpful when navigating the menus. Side tone audio level can be adjusted or turned
completely off using the “Side Menu.”
For covert operations, it may be necessary to turn o ff side tones. For safety’s sake, turning off the radio
during covert operations is not recommended.
If the radio is operating properly but side tones are not heard when the menu buttons are pressed, the side
tones are probably turned off. To turn them back on, access the “Side Tone” menu and select a setting
other than “off.”
Use the following procedure set side tone level:

9.17 RECEIVI NG AND TRANSMITTING VOICE CALLS
As soon as the radio completes the initializatio n sequence an d registers o n the Open Sky network , the user
will begin to hear calls from the talk group s in the active profile, if available.
9.17.1 Receiving a Voice Call
No action is required to receive a voice call. The display responds to incoming voice calls as foll ows:
• When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the Scan Mode is Normal or Fixed:
a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk group, then the alias (if available) or user ID
of the incoming caller is displayed.
b. If the received talk group does not match the selected talk group, then the received talk group
name is displayed.
• When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the Scan Mode is None, the radio only
receives voice on its selected talk grou p. When the call is receive d, the alias (if available) or t he user
ID of the incoming caller is displayed.
• When the dwell display is not set to received talk group, then there is no display indication of an
incoming call.

9.19 TALK GROUP L OCK OUT
There are two ways to focus voice co mmunications by suppressing calls from talk groups in the active
profile.
• Non. By changing the Scanning Mode to “None” only the selected talk group is scanned.
• Lock Out. By locking out selected talk groups, background noise or chatter can be eliminated and
scanning resources can be focused on just those groups whose calls you wish to monitor.
Lock out is a listening (receive) function and only blocks received calls on locked out talk
groups. Lock out does not affect transmit capability. “None” and “Lock Out” do not
apply to recent emergency lock outs.
Only talk groups in the active profile can be locked out, since they are the only talk groups whose voice
calls can be heard on the radio. Talk group lock out is a scan-related feature. With lock out, one or more
talk groups in the active profile can be temporarily disabled from being scanned. Calls ar e n ot receiv ed o n
locked-out talk groups. Lock out settings are not retained between profile changes.
P1, P2, and P3 groups CANNOT be locked out.
42
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
NOTE
The default emergency and emergency-capable talk groups can be locked out if they are NOT in an
emergency state. If a talk group is locked out and is subsequently changed to the currently selected talk
group, it will automatically be unlocked by the radio so the user can hear calls on the talk group. The
radio may be configured so all talk groups are automatically locked out by default. In this case, they must
be manually unlocked, if desired.
9.19.1 Lock Out a Talk Group

• Turning off the radio removes any lockouts you have made.
9.20 SCANNING
9.20.1 Selecting Scan Modes
Three scanning modes are available for the radio, but only one can be active at any time. Changing the
scanning mode changes the way the radi o scans voice calls for all of the profiles in the radio per sonality,
no matter which profile is or becomes active.
The choice of scanning mode broadens or narrows the span of communications with all the groups in
profiles you listen to, but does not affect your interaction with those groups you talk with.
The scanning modes available for selec tion may be limited by the administrator to a subset of the three
scanning modes.
3. Use the key to unlock the displayed talk group.

9.21 MAKING SE LECTI VE CA LL S
Selective calling is the capability for two voice radio units to obtain and use an independent talk path for a
unit-to-unit call. A properly equipped radio can initiate a selective call to any radio in the system that is
also programmed for selective calls.
In the OpenSky system, a radio can be co nfigu red to in itiate sele cti ve calls th roug h a pre-programmed list
in memory called a speed dial list. Alternatively, a properly equipped radio can initiate a selective call to
any radio in the system by enterin g the ten-digit User ID (similar to a telephone number) of the target
radio. Some radios are configured to only receive (not initiate) selective calls.

Selective alert messaging is an OTP feat ure that allows one of up to eight (8) pre-programmed (canned)
text messages to be sent from one radio to another. The sender specifies a destination (receiving) radio,
selects one of the pre-programmed text messages, and then transmits it to the destination radio. The
message delivery system adds sender and time-of-day information and forwards the message to the
destination (receiving) radio. The sending radio receives a brief message noting the status of the
transmission.

9.27 SITE LOCK
Users may need to select the site in cases wher e netwo rk co mmunicatio ns are do wn. Th e Site Lo ck menu
allows a user to manually roam to a specific site. T he sites in the menu are populated with the current
site, adjacent sites, and node 2 sites. The menu allows the user to select a particular site based o n the Site
Name. Once selected, the radio will randomly pick a channel at the site that is identified as operational
and attempt to attach to it.
If the channel is not available, the radio attempts to attach to the next channel in the channel list for the
site until it has attempted every channel at the sit e. If no channels are available, the radio plays a “Site
Not Found” tone and displays “SiteUnavail” on the second line of the Site Lock menu. The radio reverts
to its normal roaming functionality.
If the radio does find a valid channel on the site, it attaches to it, plays a “Site Found” tone, displays
“SiteAvail” on the second line of the Site Lock menu for 2 seconds, and then reverts to the Dwell menu.

9.29 V-TAC OPERATION
9.29.1 Extended Coverage Modes (XCOV, XCOV-TG, and XCOV-PROF)
In addition to all standard portable radio operating capabilities, Extended Coverage adds the V-TAC’s
bridging (vehicular repeat) function ality for accessing the OpenSky radio network. Each portable radio
connected to the V-TAC using Extended Coverage is considered a “client” on the V-TAC. Extended
Coverage benefits portable radio users since it allows them to get network connectivity using the
V-TAC’s higher transmit output power and better antenna system.
53
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
The V-TAC supports three Extended Coverage modes: Extended Coverage for individual users (XCOV),
Extended Coverage for a talk group (XCOV-TG), Profile Extended Coverage (XCOV -PROF). Typically,
Extended Coverage is used after the vehicle’s operator has exited the vehicle with a portable radio unit
and the portable unit requires this bridging functionality to access the OpenSky radio network.
The V-TAC takes advantage of OpenSky’s T DMA capability to eliminate interference between its lo cal
and network radio links when operating in an Extended Coverage mode, an undesirable characteristic of
many traditional vehicular repeater syst ems. Because the V-TAC employs this technology, interference
on the network and local radio links is minimized.
A V-TAC in Ex tended Coverage mode sends its alias to cli ents. The alias is displayed in the second line
of the dwell menu of the client, (“VA <alias>”). The client must be connected to a V-TAC running
version OTP14.4 or for the V-TAC to provide the alias to the client. If the client is connected to a V-TAC
running version OTP14.3.1 or earlier, the client displays “VA None.”
9.29.2 Change between Extended Coverage Modes
By default, the specific Extended Coverage mode utilized is determined by settings programmed into the
V-TAC and portable radios from the system administrator or radio installation personnel. These
programmed settings determine which Extended Coverage mode the V-TAC and radios normally use and
determine the access method employ ed by a portable radio to connect to the V-TAC. After these settings
are programmed to the V-TAC and portable radios, each must be rebooted (powered off and then back
on) before the change takes effect.
See the following sections for instructions on how to override this setting manually. Note that the override
is only successful if the V-TAC operating mode matches the manually selected portable V-TAC mode.
9.29.3 Radio Limitations Using Extended Coverage M odes
Connecting a portable radio to a V-TAC introduces minor functional limitations. See the following
sections for a listing.
9.29.3.1 Limitations Using XCOV, XCOV-TG, and XCOV-PROF
Portable radios connected to the V-TAC using any of the Extended Coverage Modes, XCO V, XCOV -TG,
or XCOV-PROF, will not channel-scan unless they lose radio frequency contact with the V-TAC. If
manually enabled, radios will not scan netwo r k channels.
9.29.3.2 Limitations Using XCOV-TG
The following portable radio keypad functions are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC
using the XCOV-TG mode: log-off, manual log in, alerts, selectiv e calls, PSTN calls, and speed dial c alls,
SOI mode, RTT.
The following portable radio menus are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC using the
XCOV-TG mode: alert destination, alert message, alert received, channel, speed dial, priority 1 talk
group, priority 2 talk group, priority 3 talk group, RTT, Status message, site lock and scan mode. In
addition, the user cannot change talk group or profile.
54
9.29.3.3 Limitations Using XCOV-PROF
The following portable radio keypad functions are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC
using the XCOV-PROF mode: log-off, manual log in, alerts, selective calls, PSTN calls, and speed dial
calls, SOI mode, RTT.
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
The following portable radio menus are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC using the
XCOV-TG mode: alert destination, alert message, alert received, priority 1 talk group, priority 2 talk
group, priority 3 talk group and scan mode. In addition, the user cannot change talk group or profile.
9.29.4 Use XCOV Mode
The Extended Coverage for individual users (XCOV) mode allows up to eight (8) client radios to connect
to the V-TAC. The radios have full radio functionality including selective calling and mobile data.
With the Extended Coverage for individual users’ (XCOV) mode, V-TAC configuration defines which
portable radios are permitted V-TAC access. The radio will automatically connect to a V-TAC if it
cannot find a network channel. The radio can also be manually connected to a V-TAC as indicated with
the *61# and *62# commands, each determined by the system administrator in the radio configuration.
9.29.4.1 Manually Accessing the XCOV Mode
P5370 Model Radios
1. Press *61# to manually access XCOV mode.
2. Press *60# to disconnect from XCOV mode.
All P5300 Model Radios
1. Press or until the Client Mode menu appears.
2. Press or until XCOV is displayed.
3. Press to confirm mode selection. The radio reverts to the dwell display and the V-TAC icon is
displayed.
9.29.5 Use XCOV-TG Mode
When using the XCOV-TG mode, up to thirty (30) client radios can connect to the V-TAC. However,
unlike XCOV, radios connected using XCOV-TG a re limited to communicating only on the XCOV-TG
talk group. The radio can only raise an emergency if this talk group is emergency capable. Advanced
features such as selective calling and mobile data operations are not available to the XCOV-TG connected
clients. The radio will automatically connect to a V-TAC if it cannot find a network channel.
The talk group used for XCOV-TG communications is the talk group that was selected at the V-TAC
when it entered XCOV-TG mode. Before a radio can connect to the V-TAC, the talk group must be
selected on the P5300. If this talk group is not provisioned in the radio’s personality, the radio cannot
connect to the V-TAC via the XCOV-TG mode. While connected to the V-TAC via XCOV-TG, a
different talk group or profile cannot be selected.
When a portable radio is connected to the V-TAC via XCOV-TG, the V-TAC forwards only the network
voice traffic on the XCOV-TG talk groups.
9.29.5.1 Manually Accessing the XCOV-TG Mode
For the Extended Coverage for a talk group mode (XCOV-TG), a portable radio user is granted access
and connects to the V-TAC by simply selecting the same Talk Group that the V-TAC had selected wh en
it entered the XCOV-TG mode. Contact the system administrator for questions regarding these aspects.
During XCOV-TG mode operations, the V-TAC will not disconnect portable radios connected to it. A
portable radio user must manually disconn ect from the V-TAC by pressing *60 # on the radio’s keypad.
55
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
However, if the V-TAC is switched out o f the XCOV-TG mode, all portable radios will be automatically
disconnected from the V-TAC. The radios will continue to look for another V-TAC until manually
disconnected (*60#).
P5370 Model Radios
• Press *62# to manually access XCOV-TG mode.
• Press *60# to manually disconnect XCOV-TG mode.
All P5300 Model Radios
1. Press or until the Client Mode menu appears.
2. Press or until XCOV-TG is displayed.
3. Press to confirm mode selection. The radio reverts to the dwell display and the V-TAC icon is
displayed.
9.29.6 Using XCOV-PROF Mode
In XCOV-PROF mode, client attachment to a V-TAC is based on profile rather than talk group.
XCOV-PROF mode allows the transmission and receipt of voice calls on any talk group in the profile as
opposed to only one talk group. XCOV-PROF allows emergencies on a non-selected talk group based on
the emergency behaviors of the profile. XCOV-PROF minimizes data traffic between the client and VTAC while allowing flex ibility of voice fun ctionality. As a resul t, data services between the client and VTAC are disabled. The radio will automatically connect to a V-TAC if it cannot find a network channel.
Note the following regarding XCOV-PROF mode:
• The client profile must match the V-TAC.
• The client profile used to connect to the V-TAC must have been previously provisioned to the client
prior to connection. If the profile is not in the client’s personality, the client cannot connect to the VTAC.
• Neither the V-TAC nor a client can change the p rofile once it has entered XCOV-PROF mode. The
Profile menu will be disabled.
• Client global profiles are disabled.

Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF d isplay message
is displayed for two seconds to show the new st ate.
10.19.1 Wide Area System Scanning
The P5300 series radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across
mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be
programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is
found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone. The amount of time before the
radio enters Control Channel Scan after losing the control channel is configurable in RPM.
10.19.2 Priority System Scan
The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or
preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically
leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a
™
programmable rate defined by the value in th e Priority Scan Time contro l (unless the Pro Scan
algorithm
is enabled, as explained in the following sectio ns). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT
button is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or meets the
predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radi o will automatically switch to the priority system.
10.19.2.1 Enabl ing the Wide Area System Scan Function
If the radio cannot find the control channel o f the selected system and begins to wide area system scan,
the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area
scan list.
10.19.2.2 W hen Pr oScan i s Enabled
The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the criteria defined by the
controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will
scan for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan
Options dialog box. See Section 10.19.3 for more information on ProScan.
10.19.3 ProScan
The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications depending
on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is an improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed
to replace ProSound
™
scanning. ProScan provid es the radio with the abi lity to select a new s ystem for th e
radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops bel ow a predefined lev el. This is accomplished
77
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
by enabling each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compares it with the
signal quality of the control ch annel for each site in its adjacent scan l ist. [The signal quality metric used
for the ProScan algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
and Control Channel Verification (CCV) measurements.] When the selected system degrades to a preprogrammed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that
exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone
(if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, the radio will enter Wide
Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is
found.
10.20 EMERGENCY OPERATION
The radio's ability to declare an emergency , clear an emergency, remain locke d on an emergency system
and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through
programming. When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency
has been cleared.
10.20.1 Receiving an Emergency Call
When receiving an Emergency Cal l on the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and is
displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is
cleared.
10.20.2 Declaring an Emergency Call
Perform the following steps to send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally
pre-programmed group).
1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for
approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check
with the system administrator). The ra dio will transmit an emergency call request with th e radio ID
until an emergency channel assignment is received.
2. When the working channel assignment i s received, th e radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio
has auto keyed (see Table 10-5) and is ready for vo ice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two
in the display until the emergency is cleared.
3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. and momentarily turn ON.
4. Release PTT when the transmission is co mplete.
To clear the emergency first press and h old the button. While continuing to hold the button, press
the EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed to clear emergencies.)

10.24 INDIVIDUAL CALLS (EDACS)
10.24.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call
When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the
assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of
the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list.
The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five
seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the button or the individual
call mode is entered.
The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels.
If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call
will automatically be directed to th e originating unit. If a response is not made before the cal l-back timeout, the radio will return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of the LCD.
To respond after the call-back time-out, press the key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on
the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an
individual call back to the original caller.
The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Receiv ed List as shown. Individual calls are
stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The

10.25.3 Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial/Conventional Mode
Once the radio has established a connection to th e public telephone system, it may be necessary to “overdial” more digits to access banking services, answering machines, credit card calls, or other types of
systems that require Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) access digits.
Overdial operation can also be used to initiate a telephone interco nnect call via DTMF signaling if a dial
tone has already been accessed on the sy stem. This method makes a telephone interconnect call while
operating in the conventional mode but will also function in trunked mode if a dial tone is directly
accessible.
Telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing can be stored in the phone list when
programming the radio. These numbers are a ccessed by pressing , then following the selection mode
rules. Perform the following procedures to access and dial these stored numbers.

10.28 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION (EDACS)
Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the
system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will
not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each r adio that rec eives
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup
groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a
digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in
dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO
ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for
scanned groups.
After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out
period), the status is selected and will be tran s mitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where i t c an

10.28.1 Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and
the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic
group.
10.29 MACRO KEY OPERATION
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input
(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when
pressed or when released.
A macro key may also be pre-programmed t o ch ang e the k ey st roke sequen ce th e n ext ti me the macro k ey
is activated. For detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications
supervisor or administrator.
10.30 PORTABLE DATA
The P5300 series portable radios permit both voice and data calls to be transmitted and received. The
radio can handle only one type of call at a time; howe ver, either data or v oice is selected transparen tly by
the operator through normal usage of the radio.
86
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
DATA T/R
Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting/receiving a data call.
DATA OFF
Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state.
DATA ON
Appears for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the data
enabled state.
The radios can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232
compatible device that supports the Radio Dat a Interface (RDI ) protoco l (Version 1.9 1 or greater) may b e
connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio.
Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or
received).
10.30.1 Displays
The following will be displayed during data operation:
10.30.2 DATA OFF Operation
The radio can be placed in the data disab led state b y any of the fol lowing metho ds. When th e data state i s
disabled, DATA OFF appears on the top line of the display.
• Declaring an emergency (not to be u sed unless an act ual emergency co ndition exists). Alert t one will
sound.
• Pressing (if pre-programmed as “no data” key). Alert tone will sound.
• Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key. Refer to previous bullet.
10.30.3 DATA ON Operation
The data state is enabled by one of the following (dep ending on how it was disabled). DATA ON will
appear on the top line in the display for two seconds then the display will return to normal.
• Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key toggles data state ON or OFF.
• Clearing an emergency. This is valid only if the emergency caused “DATA OFF” operation.
10.30.4 Exiting Data Calls
Under normal conditions, the radio enters the scan lockout mode and returns to the control channel after
completion of a data call (transmit or receive). If, during a data call, one of the following operations
occurs, the data call is immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function:
• If the PTT is activated.
• If an Emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button.
• If a group or system is changed.
10.30.5 Scan Lockout Mode
Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, scanni ng will stop temporarily.
There are two independent pre-programmed times associated with this mode; one after a recei ved data
call and one after a transmitted data call. During this time the scan indicator will flash to indicate that scan
is enabled but temporarily suspended. This condition typically returns to normal scan operation when the
pre-programmed time expires; however, the following operations and conditions will terminate the scan
lockout mode before the timeout has expired.
87
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
• Press the button.
• Press the PTT.
• Change a group or system.
• Enter Telephone Interconnect mode.
• Enter Individual call mode.
• Receive a new emergency assignment.
• Declare or clear an emergency.

• Receive an Agency, Fleet, or System All Call.
• Press or to toggle Scan ON or OFF.
10.30.6 Data Lockout Mode
During the voice call scan hang time (pre-pr ogrammed) the radio will not receive data calls.
10.31 TYPE 99 OPERATION (CONVENTIONAL ONLY)
Type 99 is Harris Corporation’s proprietary method for in-band, two-tone sequential signaling. Type 99
is a conventional signaling protocol that controls the muting and unmuting of a radio. Type 99 encoded
base stations, mobiles, or portables can selectively call individual units or groups of units in a
conventional system. Type 99 is used in paging operations providing a dispatcher with the ability to
selectively call a radio or a group of radios. If Ty pe 99 is enabled in the radio personality , the radio can
decode Individual, Group, and Supergroup Type 99 calls.
In a selective signaling environment, the P5300 portable radios operate in one of two states, Monitor
mode or Selective Call mode.
• In Monitor mode, Type 99 “OFF,” the decoder is disabled and all calls are heard by the user.
• In Selective Call mode, Type 99 “ON,” the d ecoder is enabled and only calls intended for the user
will be heard.
10.31.1 Type 99 with or without Channel Guard
Selective signaling operates with or without Channel Guard. If Channel Guard is enabled, the radio can
be programmed with an "And" or an "Or" option, determined by programming with T99 Mute Control.
• If the "And" option is programmed, T99 calls require the correct selective signaling (T99 tone
sequence) AND the correct Channel Guard tones ar e heard by the user.
• If the "Or" option is programmed, calls with the correct Channel Guard tones OR calls with the
correct T99 tone sequence and Channel Guard tones are heard by the user.
A radio operating in Selective Call mode th at rec eiv es a selective call switches to the Monito r mode (after
decoding a T99 call) and the TX/RX LED flashes green. The TX/RX LED indicates whether the
channel has a carrier signal.
88
MM-008212-001, Rev. L
NOTE
10.31.2 Resetting Type 99 after a Call
After decoding a Type 99 call, the radio operates in Monitor mode and all traffic on the channel is
audible. If the channel has Channel Guard, only the traffic with the radio's Channel Guard tone will be
heard.
To reset Type 99 operation, use one of the following methods:
• Press the button.
• Press the button if enabled through programming to toggle Type 99 ON/OFF.
• Allow the "Auto-Reset" timer, if enabled through programming, to reset the Type 99 decoder.
10.31.3 Type 99 Disable after PTT
The radio may be programmed with the Type 99 Disable after PTT feature, which aut omatically disables
the Type 99 decoder after a transmission.
Use one of the methods outlined in the “Resetting Type 99 after a Call” section to reset Type 99
operation.
10.32 AUDIO PLAYBACK
Every call received by the radio is recorded in internal memory, overwr iting the last recorded call. When
the PLAYBACK key is pressed, the last recording is replayed and any future recordings are stopped.
Pressing PLAYBACK again repeat s the same recorded call. Pressing and ho lding the PLAYBACK key
until the tone sounds erases the recording and starts the recording of incoming calls again. If a call is
received while the recorded call i s playing, the recorded call continues to p lay, rather than the received
audio. However, if a call is received and th e recorded call is played back in close succession received
audio could mute call playback. This feature requires RPM R8A and later, and ECP R15A and later .
The PLAYBACK function must be programmed to a button on the radio via RPM.
10.33 RADIO TEXTLINK OPERATION

10.35 CONTROL AND STATUS SERVICES
The P5300 supports Control and Status services. These services allow the computer application to
monitor and control a radio. The Control and Status Services can be used from a locally-connected
Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or a network MDT. In some cases, the radio can support both MDTs
simultaneously. However, priority is given to the local MDT.
The Radio Status Service allows an MDT or Fixed End System (FES) to receive real-time status upd ates
from a radio. An MDT sends Host Att ach/Detach messages to the radio as UDP datagra ms destined for
the UDP Service Address and Serv ice UDP Port of the radio. All respo nses and asyn chronous reports are
returned to the address and port of the requesting host. Refer to the ECP Control and Status Services
