3 OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS

3.1 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS

The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the
operation of vehicular radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given:

WARNING

• Explosive Atmospheres – Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, similar

• Interference to Vehicular Electronics Systems – Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-

• Electric Blasting Caps – To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use

hazards exist when operating a mobile radio. Be sure to turn the radio off while fueling a vehicle. Do
not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk.

Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn OFF your
radio when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that the
radio or its accessories could generate sparks.

skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical electronic systems that can
malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present wh en transmitting. If
the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer and enlist their aid in determining the expected
performance of electronic circuits when the radio is transmitting.

two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off Two-Way
Radios” signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926-900)

• Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles – Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered

by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the
interior of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58
requiring:

 The LP gas container an d its fittings.
 Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.
 The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.

3.2 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS

(Recommended by AAA)

• Read the literature on the safe op eration of the radio.

• Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone in its hanger whenever the vehicle is in

motion.

• Place calls only when the vehicle is stopped.

• When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower lane. Keep conversations

brief.

• If a conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the vehicle in a safe place and
continue the call.

• Whenever using a mobile radio, exercise caution.

4 OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local,
regional, or national government.

IP

In the United States, the M7100
regulations of the Federal Communications 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 helps eliminate confusion , assures the most efficient use of the existing
radio channels, and results in a smoothly functioning radio network.

When using your two-way radio, remember these rules:

• 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 make sure that the channel is clear
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!

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

• It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency messages. The FCC

requires that you keep conversations brief and confine them to business. To save time, use coded
messages whenever possible.

Series mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and

• 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.

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

• 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.

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

Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of the
United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to two

NOTE

(2) years, or both.

4.1 OPERATING TIPS

The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radios and should be avoided
whenever possible:

• Operating the radio in areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or bridges.

• Obstructions such as mountains and buildings.

• In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement can be obtained by moving a few

yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation.

5 INTRODUCTION

This manual describes how to use the M7100IP Series Mobile Radio. The M7100IP is a synthesized,
microprocessor-based, high performance mobile FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in
both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS
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 con trolled 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 can be enabled or disabled through
programming. Consult the system administrator for the particular features that are programmed into the

6 USER INTERFACE

The M7100IP operating controls are located on the radio's front panel (see Figure 6-1and Figure 6-2). A
keypad, vacuum florescent display for radio status information and a microphone jack are on the front
panel. The front panel also provides a rotary SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, POWER ON-
OFF/VOLUME control, a ramp up/ramp down control, Scan add/delete control, and a SCAN ON-OFF
control for scan operation.

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. Each key has an
associated LED for status indication.

The display has two lines with eight alphanumeric-characters used to show the operational mode of the
radio. There is one LED for indicating transmitter ON and one LED to indicate CHANNEL BUSY located
below the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME Control.

7.7.4 Primary Functions (Quick Access)

The secondary function of the k button is to toggle the keypad buttons between their primary

function and their secondary function. When the secondary keypad is active, i.e. entering phone

digits for an interconnect call, the k button can be used to toggle the keypad buttons back to

their primary function, perform a task (siren/light enable), and then toggle back to finish entering

the digits for the phone number. PRIMARY is displayed when the k button is used to

toggle the keypad keys back to their primary functions. This provides quick access to the primary

functions of the keypad. This is a programmable feature of the k button only. Careful

consideration should be given to possible operational conflicts before enabling this feature.

Several keys on the Scan version have a secondary function. The m key is the SELECT
secondary function with the C key remaining the same for the secondary function. On the
System version, the o has a secondary function for DELETE, m is SELECT, and c

retains its CLEAR function.

9 ALERT TONES

The M7100IP Series mobile radio also provides audible alert tones or "beeps" to indicate the various
operating conditions. These alert tones can be enabled or disabled through programming.

9.1 CALL ORIGINATE

A short mid-pitched alert tone sounds after keying the radio (Push-To-Talk button is pressed). This tone
indicates the radio has been assigned a working channel or that the radio is transmitting on a conventional
channel and voice communication can begin immediately. In conventional mode, this tone may be delayed
after the PTT button is pressed due to G-STAR™ signaling (if enabled through programming).

9.2 AUTOKEY (TRUNKED MODE ONLY)

After being placed in a queue or releasing the PTT button prior to a working channel assignment, the site
calls the radio when a channel becomes available. At this point, the radio automatically keys the transmitter
(autokey) for a short period to hold the channel. The radio sounds a mid-pitched tone when it is clear to
talk. Immediately press the PTT button to keep the assigned channel.

9.3 CALL QUEUED (TRUNKED MODE ONLY)

A high-pitched tone after pressing the PTT button indicates the system has placed the call request in the
queue. The receiving unit(s) also hear(s) the tones to indicate they will receive a call shortly. If the PTT
button is released, the radio will autokey whenever a channel becomes available (see Autokey).

9.4 SYSTEM BUSY (TRUNKED MODE ONLY)

Three low-pitched beeps will be heard if the rad io is keyed when the system is busy, if no channels are
available for sending the message, if the call queue is full, or if an individu al call is being attempted to a
radio that is transmitting. Releasing the PTT button and re-keying initiates a new ch annel request.

9.5 CALL DENIED (TRUNKED MODE ONLY)

If the radio is keyed and a low-pitched tone is heard, the radio is not authorized on the system that has been
selected.

9.6 CARRIER CONTROL TIMER

If the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded, the radio will issue five short high­pitched warning tones followed by a long low-pitched tone. The transmitter will shut down shortly after the
alert, interrupting communications. Release and re-key the PTT button to maintain communications. This
will reset the carrier control timer and turn the transmitter back on.

9.7 KEY PRESS ALERT

A short tone or "beep" will sound to indicate a key has been pressed. A short low-pitched tone indicates no
action was taken because the key is not active in the current mode.

9.8 DUAL CONTROL SWITCHING

When control is switched to a previously idle control unit, two short high-pitched tones will sound at the
control unit where the PTT was pressed (now the active controller).

22

10 OPERATION

The M7100IP Series mobile radio unit can be programmed to operate in a trunked system, a conventional
system, a Project 25 (P25) conventional system, or any combination of the three. Operating features and
functions have been grouped according to the type of system the radio is operating in. This section contains
general operating procedures (e.g., Turning the Radio On). Section 11, TRUNKED MODE
OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a trunked system (e.g., Group
Scan). Section 12, CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are
only used in a conventional system (e.g., Squelch Adjust). Section 13, PROJECT 25 (P25)
CONVENTIONAL OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a P25
conventional system. Section 14, TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers
those operating procedures that can be used in either a trunked or a conventional system (e.g., Multiple
Radio Operation).

10.1 TURNING THE RADIO ON

Rotate the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise, out of detent to turn the radio on. A short beep
(if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready for operation. The display indicates, if
programmed, the last selected system name on line 1 and the last selected group or channel name on line 2.

In the EDACS trunked environment, if communication with the system's control channel cannot be
established, the CC SCAN message will be displayed. This can occur if, for example, the radio is out of
range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another location or select another trunking
system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked mode operations.

10.2 SELECTION MODE RULES

Many operations require selection from a list such as system, group or phone number. This selection
process is handled in the same manner for all lists. The RAMP controls,
DEL button, and the

is used to explain the process:

The hookswitch functions the same as the c key in I-Call, phone call, and menu modes.

If a mistake is made while entering the number, press the DEL button to backspace once and correct the
entry. If an invalid number is entered, a short low-pitched tone sounds when SEL is pressed.

To exit the selection mode, press the c button or wait for the time-out. If the selection mode is cleared

while an entry is pending (i.e., numbers are entered on line 2, but SEL has not been pressed), the entry on
line 2 will be disregarded and the previous selection will remain active. If the time-out activates while an
entry is pending, the entry on line 2 will be selected if it is with in the valid range; if it is out of range, the
entry on line 2 will be disregarded and the previous selection will remain active.

While in system, group or channel selection mode, the radio continues to receive calls
normally and continues scanning, if it is enabled. If a call is received during the selection mode

rocess the radio will return to the normal receive mode display. Continuing with the selection

process will return the display to the same point in the selection process if the selection mode

NOTE

time out has not yet expired. Any press of the PTT button during the selection mode process
will initiate transmission and exit the selection mode.

10.4 MENU

The menu function accesses features that are not available directly from the keypad. The order and specific
number of menu items available is configurable through programming. Upon radio power up, the menu
item at the beginning of the menu list will always be displayed first. Subsequent access to the menu

function will return the last menu item that was shown in the display. To enter th e menu mode, press m.
The RAMP controls, , and ., the SEL and the c buttons are used during the selection process.

All of the selection mode rules previously detailed apply to the menu item selection process with the
exception of direct access. The radio will continue to receive and transmit normally while in the menu
function.

24

A new item is displayed by using the RAMP controls, , and ., to scroll through the list in increasing

and decreasing order. The displayed menu item is made active by pressing SEL.
After entering the menu selection mode, the following generic display format will appear.

M E N U

Y Y Y Y Y Y Y Y

Line 1 indicates the radio is in the menu selection mode. Line 2 indicates the menu item (YYYYYYYY)
