limits for occupational use, always adher e to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attach ed, as this may d amage the radio an d may
also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceed ed. A p roper anten na is the anten na supp lied with
this radio by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to
Table 7-1.)
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more
than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded . Th e rad io
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
• ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low
power can reduce RF exposure.
• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (an tennas, batteries, bel t clips, speaker/ mics, etc ). Use of
unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance
requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 2-1.)

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
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
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 P7300 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH), Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), and Lithium Polymer batter ies. Please carefully read the battery
information provided to maximize the useful life of each type of battery.
Do not disassemble or modify Lithium ba ttery packs. The Lithium battery packs
are equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these feat ures 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 contact
with the electrolyte, immediately flush th e affected area with water. If the battery
electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician
immediately.
Always use
and conditioners may void the warranty.
5.1 CONDITIONING BATTERY PACKS
5.1.1 Conditioning NiMH Battery Packs
Condition a new NiMH battery before putting into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries
that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging
and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery
is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automaticall y charging and
discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details.
Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will resu
shortened performance by the battery.
5.1.2 Conditioning NiCd Battery Packs
A new NiCd battery does not require conditioning before use. However, Harris recommend s 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 voltag e 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
15
MM-013994-001, Rev. J
battery packs by automatically chargi ng and discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the approp riate
charger manual for details.
5.1.3 Conditioning Lithium Battery Packs
Lithium-based battery packs do not suffer from memory effect and therefore do not require conditioning.
5.1.4 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, i ts overall capacity may be reduced. Although all battery
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.
5.1.5 Additional Information
For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio battery packs or establishing a battery
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 fr om Harris with nominal charge times. Combination s include single and
multi-position charge units.
Harris chargers are specifically designed for charging Nickel-based and Lithium battery 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 indefi nitely. For best results, l eave the battery in t he 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, con sult the charger’s manual to determine
the cause and possible corrective action.
5.3 BATTERY PACK USAGE
Both Nickel-based and Lithium batteries vary in capaci ty and life cycle. For instance, Ni Cd batt eries have
a longer life cycle than NiMH batterie s whereas NiMH batteries have a larger capacity. Howev er, both
Nickel-based and Lithium type batteries require basic usage g uidelines be followed in order to optimize
the battery runtime or shift life.

CAUTION
• Ensure Nickel-based battery packs are fully discharged (as indicated by the radio low battery
warning) before re-charging. Full discharge is not required for Lithium battery packs.
• Periodically condition Nickel-based battery packs. The frequency should be determined based on
usage patterns (refer to ECR-7367). If the battery is fully discharged (to radio Low Battery warning)
during routine use, the frequency of conditioning may be reduced. Lithium batteries do not suffer
from memory-effect and therefore do not require conditioning.
Do not leave any Harris rechargeable bat teries in a charger for more than a few days.

6 INTRODUCTION
The P7300 series portable radio is availabl e in two mo dels: th e P7350 Scan model wi th a li mited 6 -button
front-mounted keypad and the P7370 System model with a 15-button DTMF front-mounted keypad.
Figure 6-1: P7350 andP7370 Portable Radios
The Harris P7300 portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications.
It is designed to support multiple operating modes including:
• EDACS
• OpenSky
®
(Enhanced Digital Access Communication s System) or ProVoice™ Trunked Modes
®
Trunked Protocol (OTP)
• P25 Trunked Mode
• P25 Digital Conventional Mode
• Conventional Analog Mode
The P7300 portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be
added with software updates.
The P7300 supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features, including Talk Group calls, priority
scanning, emergency calls, late call entry , and dynamic reconf iguration. It p erforms autonomou s 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., EDACS, ProVo ice, or
P25) 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., a CSD in an EDACS system).
This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels.
19
MM-013994-001, Rev. J
In Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a ch annel and communicates directly on that chan nel. A
channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio depends 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 P7300. Then refer
to the corresponding section(s) within this manual for feature and operation information.

The battery charge indicator illustrates approximate charge only, based on battery voltage. Refer to
Figure 9-6.
9.2 TRI-COLOR L ED
Figure 9-7: 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 9-7).
In OpenSky mode the following radio states are ref l ected by the LED and the status they represent are:
Green: Receiving
Red: Transmitting
Orange: If the LED is flashing rapidly, the radio is receiving an emergency call. If the
LED is flashing every ½ second, the selected Talk Group is in the emergency
state (although not transmitting). I f the selected Talk Group is in the emergency
state, an asterisk will be displayed next to t he Talk Group name.
9.3 LOG-IN TO THE NETWORK
Log-in occurs either automatically (auto registration) if the radio has a valid registration or, if enabled,
requires the user to enter a User ID and password.
The user will be prompted with “Pls Login” if one Talk Group in the selected profile
can be encrypted. The user has to log-in to use that Talk Group in encrypted mode.
1. Press *1.
2. Enter the full 10-digit User ID.
3. Press the key.

in assistance and/or
NOTE
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 passwords or once for numeric only passwords.
The User ID may be remembered from the previous log-in. (Refer to Section 9.4 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.
If necessary, contact radio system administration personnel for logradio-specific log-in instructions.
9.4 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 preferable to log-o f f to prevent unnecessary network resources being used.
9.5 PERSONALITY
As illustrated in Figure 9-8, a personality defines the profiles and Talk Groups available to the user. 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.
9.5.1 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 ma de on the sel ected Talk Group (displayed on the top
line of the dwell display). The user ca n change the selected Talk Group to any of the other Talk Groups
within the profile.
