beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully understood or met.

The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating p rocedure, practice, or th e like, which,
if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the equipment or severely
degrade equipment performance.

The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve system
performance or clarify a process or proced ure.

2. RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION

2.1 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Before using the two-way mobile radio, review the following important RF en ergy awareness and
control information and operational instructions. Comply with this information and instructions in
order to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.

This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have
full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over th eir exposure to remain
below RF exposure
consumer, or any other use.

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electro magnetic energy. Other forms include, b ut are not limited
to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other
forms of electromagnetic energy, which , when used improperly, can cause biol ogical damage. Very high
levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.

12

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for
both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins
of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to
ensure they meet government-establis hed RF exposu re level s. In addit ion, manu facturers al so reco mmend
specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. Th ese instructions are important because they
inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Refer to the
following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control exposure to
assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html

2.1.1 Federal Communications Commission Regulations

Before it was marketed in the United States, the XG-25M two-way mobile radio was tested to ensure
compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way mobile radios. When two -way radios are
used as a consequence of employment , the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to con trol
their exposure to meet occupational requ irements. Exposure awareness can be faci litated by the use of a
label directing users to specific user awareness i nformation. The radio has an RF exposure product label.
Also, the Product Safety Manual and this Operator’s Manual include information and operating
instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.

2.2 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS

The XG-25M two-way mobile radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. This
radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure
environment at duty-cycle times of up to 50% (50% transmit, 50% receive), and it is authorized by the
FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure
guidelines, the radio’s antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (talking), not
when it is receiving (listening), or in a standby mode.

The XG-25M two-way mobile radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR

§ 2 sub-part J.

• American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)

C95.1-2005.

• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-2005.

• IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 4, 2010: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio

Standards Specification. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radio communication Apparatus
(All Frequency Bands).

• DIRECTIVE 2004/40/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29

April 2004 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the
risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) and amended by:

 Directive 2007/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007
 Directive 2008/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008
 Regulation (EC) No 1137/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October

2008

Table 2-2: FCC Recommended Minimum Safe Lateral Distance from a Transmitting Antenna

Table 2-1 and Table 2-3 list the recommended minimum safe lateral distances for a controlled
environment and for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from transmitting
antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at rated radio power for mobile

uncontrolled recommended minimum safe lat eral distance away from the transmitting antenna.

Based on the highest radiated RF power and the highest antenna gain in antennas to be used with
XG-25M, the distances listed in Table 2-1 (for the 136 to 174 MHz radio) and Table 2-3 (for the
700/800 MHz radio) are considered as safe distances for controlled an d uncontrolled environments with
the XG-25M mobile radio transmitting at a maximum 50% duty cycle:

3.1 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

To ensure bodily exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use
adhere to the following basic guidelines:

• The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice message.

• The radio should only be used for necessary work-related communications.

• The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel. It should never be operated by

children.

• Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or modifications to the radio may

cause harmful interference and/or cause it to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Only qualified
personnel should service the radio.

• Always use only authorized accessories (antennas, control heads, speakers/mics, etc.). Use of

unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements and/or the
exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC to be exceeded.

and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC. Always

The information listed above provides the user with information needed to make him or her aware of a RF
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC exposure limits and/or the
exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC.

3.2 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS

The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the
operation of vehicular radio transmissions. Possible hazards include but are not limited
to:

• Explosive Atmospheres — Just as it is dangerous to fuel a veh icle while its engine is running, be

sure to turn the radio OFF while fueling the vehicle. If the radio is mounted in the trunk of the
vehicle, DO NOT carry containers of fuel in the trunk.

Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are o ften, but not alway s, clearly marked. T urn the radio
OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that the
radio or its accessories could generate sparks.

• Interference To Vehicular Electroni c Systems — Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-

skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic
devices that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency (RF) energy present
when transmitting. If the vehicle contai ns such equipment, consult t he dealer for the make of v ehicle
and enlist their aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is
transmitting.

20

• Electric Blasting Caps — To prevent accid ental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use

two-way radios within 1000 feet (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off
Two-Way Radios” (or equivalent) signs posted where electr ic blasting caps are being used. (OSHA
Standard: 1926.900).

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

• Radio Frequency Energy — To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency

energy, do not operate the transmitter when any one outside of th e vehicle is within t he minimum safe
distance from the antenna as specified in Table 2-1. Refer to Section 2.1 for additional information.

• Vehicles Powered By Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas — Radio installation in vehicles powered by

liquefied petroleum gas, where the LP g as container is located in the trunk or other seal ed-off space
within the interior of the vehicle, must conform to the National Fire Protection Associati on standard
NFPA 58. This requires:

 The space containing the radio equipment must b e i solated by a seal from the space containing

the LP gas container and its fittings.

 Outside filling connections must be used for the LP gas container.
 The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.

• Vehicles Equipped with Airbags — For driver and passenger safety, avoid mounting the radio’s

control head (or any other component) above or near airbag deployment areas. In addition to driver­side and passenger-side front-impact airbags, some vehicles may also be equipped with side-impact
airbags. For occupant safety, verify the location of all airbags within the vehicle before installing the
radio equipment.

3.3 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS

The American Automobile Association (AAA) advocates the following key safe driving recommenda­tions:

• Read the literature on the safe operation 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.

3.4 OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

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

In the United States, the XG-25M mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Operators of two-way radio eq uipment
must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to the particular type of radio operation. Following
these rules helps eliminate confusion , assures the most efficient use of the existing radio channels, an d
results in a smoothly functioning radio network.

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

• It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. The radio operates in

much the same way as a telephone “party line.” Therefore, always listen to make sure 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, do not
transmit unless assistance can be offered.

21

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of the

NOTE

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

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

requires keeping conversations brief and confined to business. Use coded messages whenever
possible to save time.

• Using the radio to send personal messag es (except in an e mergency ) is a violation of FCC rules. Send

only essential messages.

• It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio.

Conversations between others sharing the ch annel must be regarded as confidential.

• The FCC requires self-identification at certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer to the

rules that apply to the 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.

United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to two (2)
years, or both.

3.5 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, communication improvement may sometimes
be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction, or moving to a higher elevation.

3.6 RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rul es. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. This device may no t cause harmful interference; and,

2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference th at may cause undesired

operation.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

Cette radio bidirectionnelle utilise une énergie électromagnétique dans le spectre des radiofréquences
(RF) pour permettre une communication à distance entre deux utilisateurs ou plus. Elle utilise l’énergie
des RF ou les ondes radio pour envoyer et recevoir des appels. L’énergie des R F est une forme d’ énergie
électromagnétique. D’autres formes compren nent, en tre autres, l’énerg ie électriq ue, la lumière d u soleil et
les rayons X. Toutefois, l’énergie des RF ne doit pas être confondue avec ces autres formes d’énergie
électromagnétique qui, lorsque mal utilisées, p euv en t causer d es d ommag es b iol og iq ues. Par exemple, des
niveaux très élevés de rayons X peuvent endommager les tissus et le matériel génétique.

Des experts en science, en ingénierie, en médecine, en santé et de l’industrie travaillent avec des
organismes pour établir des normes pour l’exposition à l’énergie des RF. Ces normes procurent des
niveaux recommandés d’exposition aux RF autant aux travailleurs qu’au grand public. Ces niveaux
d’exposition aux RF recommandés comprennent d’importantes marges de protection. Toutes les radios
bidirectionnelles commercialisées en A mériqu e du Nor d son t conçues, fab riqu ées et testée s po ur s’ assurer
qu’elles satisfont les niveaux d’exposition aux RF établis par le gouvernement. Les fabricants
recommandent également des consignes d’utilisation particulières aux utilisateurs de radios
bidirectionnelles. Ces instructions sont importantes, car elles informent les utilisateurs sur l’exposition à
l’énergie des RF et donnent des procédures simples sur la manière de contrôler cette exposition.
Consultez les sites Web suivants (en anglais) pour de plus amples renseignements sur ce qu’est
l’exposition à l’énergie des RF et comment contrôler l’exposition pour assurer la conformité aux limites
d’exposition établies :

5.1.1 Règlements de la Federal Communications Commission (« Commission

fédérale des communications » aux États-Unis)

Avant d’être mise sur le marché aux États-Unis, la radio mobile bidirectionnelle XG-25M a été testée
pour s’assurer de sa conformité aux limites d’exposition à l’énergie des RF de l a FCC pour les radios
mobiles bidirectionnelles. Lorsque les radios bidirectionnelles sont utilisées à la su ite d’une embauche, la
FCC demande aux utilisateurs de bien connaître et de pouvoir contrôler leur exposition pour satisfaire les
exigences professionnelles. La sensibilisation à l’exposition peut être facilitée par l’utilisation d’une
étiquette qui dirige les utilisateurs vers des renseignements particuliers sur la sensibilisation de
l’utilisateur. La radio possède une étiquette de produit sur l’exposition aux RF. De plus, le Manuel sur la
sécurité du produit et le présent Manuel de l’opérateur comprennent des renseignements et les consig nes
d’utilisation nécessaires pour contrôler l’exposition aux RF et pour satisfaire les exigences de conformité.

5.2 CONFORMITÉ AUX NORMES D’EXPOSITION AUX RF

La radio mobile bidirectionnelle XG-25M est conçue et testée pour être conforme à un certain nombre de
normes et directives nationales et internationales quant à l’exposition humaine à l’énergie
électromagnétique des RF. Cette radio est conforme aux limites d’exposition de l’IEEE et de la
Commission internationale de protection contre les rayonnements non ionisants pour un environnement
professionnel/contrôlé d’exposition aux RF à des périodes de cycle de service allant jusq u’à 50 % (50 %
de transmission, 50 % de réception) et elle est auto risée par la FCC pour une utilisation professionnelle.
Sur le plan de la mesure de l’éner gie des RF pour la conformité aux directives d’exposition de la FCC,
l’antenne de la radio irradie une én ergie des RF mesurable seuleme nt lorsqu’elle t ransmet (parler), et non
lorsqu’elle reçoit (écouter) ou en mode d’attente.

7. INTRODUCTION

This manual contains operating information for the XG-25M mobile radio and related accessories. In
addition, product safety-related information for the radio equipment is included.

7.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The XG-25M mobile radio is a high-performance digital mobile radio. It can operate in Pro ject 25 (P25)
trunked, P25 conventional, EDACS

®

trunked, ProVoice™ trunked, OpenSky® Trunked Protocol (OTP),
and analog conventional modes. The radio’s control head features a large tex t and graphics-based liquid­crystal display (LCD), and front panel controls for user control of the radio.

The radio is designed to operate in a mobile environment, typically within a motor vehicle. It must be
connected to an external transmit/receive antenna such as one mounted to the vehicle’s rooftop or trunk
lid.

The radio provides half-duplex voice and data communications. Voice communications are accomplished
via a “push-to-talk” (PTT) type microphone and an external speaker connected to the radio’s control head.

Figure 7-1: XG-25M Mobile Radio (Front View)

The XG-25M mobile radio may be equipped with an optional built-in Global Positioning System (GPS)
tracking receiver. The GPS antenna can be integrated into the mobile transmit/receive antenna (i.e., a
“combination” antenna). Alternately, the GPS antenna can be located/mounted completely separate fro m
the mobile transmit/receive antenna.

The radio exceeds many tough environmental specifications included within military standard
MIL-STD-810G, the radio industry standard TIA/EIA-603, and the radio standard established by the U.S.
Forest Service.

The radio supports the P25 Common Air Interface (P25 CAI) standard. P25 radio systems utilize
Improved Multi-Band Excitation (IMBE) speech and data compression technology, developed by Digital
Voice Systems, Inc.

Harris recommends the buyer use o nly an authorized representative to install and service
this product. The warranties provided to the buyer under the terms of sale shall be null and

void if this product is installed or serviced improperly, and Harris shall have n
obligation to the buyer for any damage caused to the product or to any person or personal
property.

8.9 COMMON OPERATIONS

8.9.1 Turning the Radio On/ Off and Adjusting Volume

To turn on the radio, rotate its Power On/Off/Volume control clockwise out of the detent position. Some
radio installations may be wired so an external switch such as the vehicle’s ignition key must also be
placed in a run or on position before the radio will turn on. When the radio is on, indications appear in the
display, such as the selected group/channel an d status icons. The radio may be programmed to power-up
on the previously selected radio sy stem and group/channel (that was selected at the last power down), or
to a pre-programmed radio system and group/channel. It may also be programmed to sound an audible
tone (“beep”) at turn on.

Rotate this control clockwise to increase the v olume of receive audio and rotate it counter-clockwise to
decrease the volume. Volume adjustment can be made at anytime during radio operation, as needed.

To turn the radio off, rotate this control fully counter-clockwise until it clicks. The radio turns completely
off within a few seconds of this action.

8.9.2 Programmable Functions

8.9.2.1 Programmable Buttons

All buttons on the front panel of the radio can be “remapped” (i.e., reprogrammed) to any primary
function. Typically, only the

A, B, C and/or OPT buttons are remapped.

The radio ships from the factory with default button function mapping. Configuration changes can be
made by radio system administration personnel prior to deployment of the radio. If changes are made
from the default mappings, it is recommended that the form in Section 9 be filled-out for future reference.

8.9.3 Connecting a Bluetooth Wireless Speaker/Microphone

The radio can be programmed so a Bluetooth wireless speaker/microphone or another similar type Blue­tooth wireless audio device can be used with it. If the radio is programmed as such, use the following
procedures as necessary:

8.9.3.1 Pairing/Connecting a Bluetooth Wireless Device with the Radio

1. Turn on the Bluetooth wireless device (e.g., wireless speaker/mic) and place it in pairing mode.

Consult the device’s operator manual as necessary. Some devices may refer to this mode as
“discovery mode.”

Some Bluetooth devices will time-out of their pairing mode after a preset time, so be familiar with the
device’s audible and/or visual pairing mode indications, and re-enter pairing mode if this occurs
before the radio can be paired with/connected to it.

49

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

NOTE

NOTE

2. Press the radio’s MENU button to activate the menu function.

3. Press the radio’s + or – buttons until BLUTOOTH (for Bluetooth) is selected with the > symbol, and
then press MENU to enter this function. ADD DEVICE appears.

If BLUTOOTH does not appear on the current menu, the radio is not programmed for Bluetooth
wireless operations in the current menu/mode (i.e., trunked or conventional). Therefore,
wireless Bluetooth connections are no t possible.

4. With ADD DEVICE displayed, press MENU again. The radio then displays SEARCHING as it begins
searching for nearby Bluetooth devices that it can pair/connect with. During the search, the current
number of the found Bluetooth devices is displayed and the (Bluetooth) icon blinks in the display.

The (Bluetooth) icon blinks in the display when the radio’s Bluetooth function is on but the
radio is not paired with a Bluetooth wireless device.

5. Wait for the search to complete. When done, the radio displays SELECT and the name of the first
pairable device located during its search.

6. Press the + or – buttons until the name of the desired wireless Bluetooth device for connection to
appears, and then press MENU again to pair/connect to it. PAIR WITH displays, and after several
seconds, the pairing completes. This is indicated when radio displays PAIRING COMPLETE and the

(Bluetooth) icon stops blinking and remains on. Also note the device’s audible and/or visual
indication per the successful pairing/connectio n, such as a blue light and/or several high-pitched
beeps.

If the name of the desired Bluetooth wireless device was not listed, first verify the device is still in
pairing mode (aka., discovery mode), then use the SEARCH AGAIN function, or repeat this procedure
from step 1.

If the selected Bluetooth wireless d evice cannot be successfully paired, PAIRING FAI LED displays,
followed by ADD DEVICE. In this case, the device has most likely either exited its pairing mode
(aka., discovery mode) since the radio’s search feature found it or it has been turned off (either
manually or automatically). Correct as n ecessary and then use the ADD DEVICE function to perform
another search.

8.9.3.2 Basic Bluetooth Wireless Device Operations

After successful pairing/connection, radio receive audio and alert tones are routed to the speaker/earpiece
of the Bluetooth wireless device instead of to the radio’s (internal/external) speaker, and the radio’s
previously active (internal/external) speaker remains muted. Volume control adjustments for the wireless
device are made at the device, not at the radio’s control head.

50

The PTT switch of the standard/wired microphone connected to the control head remains active
when a Bluetoot h device is actively paired with the radio. The radio can be keyed from this
PTT switch; however, transmit audio will be sourced from the microphone of the Bluetooth
wireless device.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

After being paired with a Bluetooth wireless device, if the radio or the device is powered off and then
back on, pairing will be automatically re-established a short time after power-up. This assumes th e device
is within wireless range of the radio.

Refer to the Bluetooth wireless device’s operator manual for additional information about using it with
the radio.

8.9.3.3 Deleting/Disconnecting a Bluetooth Wireless Device

To disconnect a currently connected Bluetooth wireless device, or to prevent the previously-connected
device from re-connecting to the radio, follow this procedure. In the latter case, the device does not need
to be actively paired/connected with the radio before beginning this procedure:

1. Press the radio’s MENU button to activate the menu function.

2. Press the radio’ s + or – buttons until BLUTOOTH is selected with the > symbol, and then press
MENU to enter this function. ADD DEVICE appears.

3. Press the radio’s + or – buttons until DELETE appears, followed by the device’s name.

4. Press the MENU button to delete/disconnect the Bluetooth device.
Otherwise, press the CLR (Clear) button to cancel, or simply wait for this menu operation to time-out.

Upon successfully deleting/disconnecting the device, the radio’s (Bluetooth) icon begins blinking
in the display, indicating this function is still on, but no device is currently connected to the radio.

8.9.3.4 Turning Bluetooth Off

Follow this procedure to turn off the radio’s Bluetooth wireless feature. When turned off, a currently
connected device will be disconnected. Also, no Bluetooth devices can pair/connect with the radio:

1. Press the radio’ s MENU button to activate the menu function.

2. Press the radio’ s + or – buttons until BLUTOOTH is selected with the > symbol, and then press

8.9.12.3 Serial ROM Number (12 Hexadecimal Digits)

Within the Feature Encryption Display, the serial number stored in the radio’s R OM is indicated after first
entering the display. This serial number is 12 hexadecimal digits in length.

To enable a feature in the radio, record this serial number and call an d report it to the Harris Technical
Assistance Center (TAC), along with other pertinent information. TAC contact information is listed in
Section 11.2 of this manual.

8.9.12.4 Feature Encryption Data Stream

These data streams define the features currently enabled in the radio. They are required by Harris to
enable other features. There are three (3) data streams: FD1, FD2, FD3, and FD4. All four are required.

8.9.12.5 Number Fields

The number fields show the existing limits of the radio as follows:

• CNVCHN# XXX — Where XXX is the maximum number of conventional channels that can be

programmed into the radio.

• SYSGRP# XXX — Where XXX is th e maximum number of systems and group combinations that

can be programmed into the radio.

• TRKSYS# XXX — Where XXX is the maximum number of trunked systems that can be

programmed into the radio.

The above limits of the radio should be known before attempting to program other systems, groups, and
conventional channels, and before attempting to enable other radio features via radio programming.

sequence the next time it is activated. For detailed operatio n and assignment of macro keys, consult with
the radio system’s network administration personnel for programming information for the specific radio.

8.9.14 Mixed System Zones

A Zone is a grouping of analog conventional channels, P25 conventional channels, and/or P25T or P25C
talkgroups. Mixed System Zones are defined in RPM and can be comprised of any combination of
channels/groups from multiple sy stems as long as the system definit ions share the same WACN/System
ID. If a Mixed System Zone is not configured in RPM, it will not appear on the radio. Up to 50 Mixed
System Zones can be defined.

To select a Mixed System Zone:

1. Press MENU.

2. Scroll through menu and select ZONE.

3. Select the desired Mixed System Zone.

4. Alternately, the System/Group/Channel knob or a button on the control head can be programmed to

scroll through available Mixed System Zones.

When scan is enabled on a system in a Mixed System Zon e, the radio cont inues to display the zone n ame
or system name per the current radio mode (system/zone). When toggling scan ON/OFF, there is no
change one line 1 of the radio display. If it is showing system name, it continues to show system name; if
it is showing zone name, it continues to show the zone name during scanning.

8.9.15 Mixed Zone Scan

The Mixed Zone Scan (MZS) feature gives the u ser the capabi lity to scan based on a custo m scan list that
is assigned at the system level. The Custom Scan (CS) list can contain System and Channel/Group
configurations across P25 Trunk, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is
defined on a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When defined on a P25C
or Analog system, the radio only scans conventional channels. MZS also gives the user the capability to
scan beyond the selected system group set.

• P25T Scan

When a custom scan list is assigned to a P25 T system, the user has the ability to scan P25T, P2 5C,
and Analog groups/channels. All P25 T sy stems mu st have t he sa me WACN, Sy stem ID, and Un it I D
to be added to the custom scan list.

• P25C and Analog Scan

When a custom scan lists is assigned to a P25 C or Analog System, the user has the ability to scan
P25C and Analog channels. P25T systems are ignored.

8.9.15.1 Custom Scan List Selection

The Custom Scan List is assigned at the System level. Scanning protocols (Custom Scan, System Scan,
and Conventional Priority Scan) are mutually exclusive. Once a custom scan list is assig ned to a system,
when you enable scan, you are scanning the channel/groups defined in the custom scan list. A C ustom
Scan List can be assigned to a system through RPM only. The radio supports up to 10 Custom Scan lists,
with up to 50 channels/groups in each.

3. Select the desired gr oup. Refer to Section 8.9.8 as necessary. The currently selected g roup is indicated

in the middle line of the display. The radio is now ready to receive calls on the group.

4. When the radio receives a group call on the selected group, it unmutes, the calling radio’s name or GR

and the calling radio’s unit ID number displays. Also, the (Busy) icon displays and the Tx/Busy
indicator lights green.

5. If necessary, make a volume adjustment by rotating the Power On/Off/Volume control.

8.10.3.2 Transmitting a Group Call

1. Set the radio to receive calls on the desired trunked radio system and group per the previous section.

2. When the group is clear ( i.e., no call is being received on it), press and hold the microphone’s PTT

button. The (Transmit) icon appears at the bottom of the display and the radio performs the
necessary signaling required to obtain a working channel (i.e., communication radio channel) for the
voice transmission.

3. When the working channel is assigned by the radio system, the Tx/Busy indicator lights red and a

short beep sounds in the speaker/headset to indicate it is OK to begin speaking into the radio’s
microphone.

4. Hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from the mouth and speak into the microphone at a

normal voice level. Never shout or whisper into the microphone.

5. Release the PTT bu tton when the transmission is complete, and listen for a reply.

8.10.4 Individual Calls on a Trunked System

8.10.4.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call

When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user’s radio), it unmutes so the
call’s audio is heard in the speaker/headset, INDV and the (Busy) icons app ear in the display, and
the Tx/Busy indicator lights green. The calling radio unit’s name also displays if th e name is present in
the radio’s individual call list for the calling radio. Otherwise, ID and the calling radio unit’s ID number
displays.

The radio can also be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If ring is enabled, it begins
five (5) seconds after the calling radio unkeys and it continues until the PTT button or the CLR button is
pressed. The ring volume level is adjustable via the radio’s Power On/Off/Volume control.

The microphone’s hookswitch functions the same as the CLR button in individual call, phone
call, and menu modes.

68

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

If a response is made to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call is directed to the
originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio returns to normal
receive mode, but WHC is displayed.

If the caller’s radio ID number is not received, UNKNOWN displays for the duration of the call. In this
case, there is no call-back hang time.

If the INDV function is programmed on a radio menu or to a radio button, respond to the call after the
call-back time-out by selecting this function/button. At this point, the radio displays the caller’s name or
ID number and WHCI=1. Pressing the PTT button at this point initiates an ind ividual call back to the
original caller. (If the last call received was a group call, the di splay shows WHCG=1, but pressing the
PTT button places the call as an individual call.)

The radio stores the names/unit IDs of the last 10 callers in t he Calls Received List. Individual calls are
stored in the top half of the list (1 to 10) and group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1 to 10).
The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

Calls Received List

If the INDV function is programmed on a radio menu or to a radio button, access the list by selecting this
function on the menu or by pressing the programmed button twice. Next, press the + or – buttons to scroll
through the list. At this point pressing the microphone’s PTT button will initiate a call to the currently
selected individual caller. Alternately, press the MENU button to display the time elapsed since the call
was received from the currently selected individual caller.

8.10.4.2 Sending an Individual Call

The following procedures describe how to initiate and send/transmit an individual call.

1. To select a previously stored individual radio unit, select INDV from the menu or press the button
programmed with the INDV function. The (Special Call) icon appears at the bottom of the d isplay.
Next, use the + and – buttons to scroll through the list of stored individual radio units. While in the
individual call list, the MENU button can be pressed to toggle the display between the radio unit’s
name and its ID number.

2. With the desired radio unit selected, press the microphone’s PTT button. The radio performs the
necessary signaling to obtain a communication channel, the (Transmit) icon turns on, and the
(Special Call) icon turns off. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit, the
Transmit/Busy indicator lights red and the channel access tone sounds. The display indicates the
called radio unit’s name if found in the list of stored individuals or ID followed by the logical ID
number of the radio unit being called. INDV also displays.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

3. Hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from the mouth and speak into the microphone at a

normal voice level. Never shout or whisper into the microphone.

4. Release the PTT bu tton when the transmission is complete, and listen for a reply.

8.10.4.3 Call Storage Lists

There are two lists available for call storage in the radio: The Calls Received List (1 through 10 as
previously described) and the Personality List (1 through 99 as defined by the user). When the individual
call mode is entered via the INDV function (i.e., by selecting this programmed menu function or by
pressing the programmed INDV button twice), the Calls Received List is available. Toggle to the
Personality List by pressing any other button or by pressing the programmed INDV button again. If wrap
is enabled, the Calls Received List wraps on itself and not into the other list.

Calls Received List Personality List

The Calls Received List shows all ten (10) storage locations. If no calls have been recei ved since the radio
was powered up, this list will be empty. In any case, the Personality List is available upon entering the
individual call mode via the INDV function.

When in the Calls Received List, pressing the MENU button toggles the time stamp display on and off.
The time stamp display indicates how long ago the call was received. It indicates this information as
HH:MM:SS where HH = hours, MM = minutes, an d SS = seconds.

When in the Personality List, pressing the MENU button toggles the Logical IDentification (LID) display
on and off. This is the ID numbers of the radios.

8.10.5 Emergency Operations on a Trunked Syst em

8.10.5.1 General Information

The radio’s ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency and
group, emergency audio operation, and display freeze can each b e configured via radio programming. If
the radio is scanning when an emergency is declared, scanning stops and it only restarts after the
emergency is cleared.

8.10.5.2 Receiving an Emergency

When receiving an emergency call from the selected system and group, an alert beep sounds, the
(Busy) icon displays, and the Tx/Busy indicator lights green. Also, RXEMER blinks in the display
until the emergency condition is cleared. In this case, follow standard emergency procedures established
for the respective radio system.

70

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

8.10.5.3 Declaring an Emergency

To declare (send/transmit) an emergency call to the selected system and group or to an optionally
programmed emergency group, follow this procedure. It is assumed the Home/Emergency button is
programmed to provide an emergency declaration function, and the radio is programmed with the
emergency declaration capability:

1. Set the radio to receive calls on the desired trunked radio system. Refer to Section 8.10.3.1 on page
67 as necessary.

2. If the radio is programmed to transmit an emergency on the selected group, select the desired group to
transmit the emergency on. Refer to Secti on 8.9.8 on page 53 as necessary.

3. Press and hold the red Home/Emergency button. The required minimum button hold time is
programmable between 0 and 127 seconds; consult with the radio system’s network administration
personnel for the specific hold time. Afterwards, the radio transmits an emergency call request with
the radio’s ID number until an emergency working channel assignment is received.

4. When the emergency working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep (auto­key alert tone) indicating it is ready for voice transmission. TXEMER blinks in the display until
the emergency is cleared.

5. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. When the radio is transmitting, the
(Transmit) icon appears at the bottom of the display and the Tx/Busy indicator lights red.

6. Release PTT when th e transmission is complete and listen for a reply.

8.10.5.4 Clearing an Emergency

If the radio is programmed with emerg ency clear capability, an emergency can be cleared as follows:
Press and hold the CLR button, then press the red Home/Emergency button, then finally release both
buttons.

8.10.6 System Scan Operations on a Trunked Syst em

8.10.6.1 General Information

The radio can be programmed with several d ifferent radio sy stem scan related f eatures as des cribed in the
following subsections. These features are automatically enabled upon radio power up. A button or menu
option may also be defined to allow these features, as programmed, to be toggled on and off. The system
scan state is maintained through system chan ges performed by the radio operator, but it defaults to the on
state at radio power-up.

8.10.6.2 Wide Area System Scan

The radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across trunked radio
systems. Trunked radio systems manage the radios assigned to the system via control channels throughout
the radio systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system’s control channel, the radio can be
programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. During this scan condition,
WA SCAN displays. If a new control channel is found, the radio switches to the new sy stem and sounds
an alert tone. The amount of time before the radio enters Control Channel Scan after losing the control
channel is configurable in RPM.

71

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

If the radio cannot find the contro l channel of the selected system and begins Wide Area S ystem Scan
(WA Scan), the radio only scans for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the WA
Scan list.

8.10.6.3 ProScan

The radio can be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications. When the
currently selected system’s signal qual ity drops b elow a predefi ned lev el, ProScan provides the radio with
the ability to select a new sy stem for the rad io to communic ate on . T his is a ccomp lished by enab ling each
radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compare it with the signal quality of
the control channel for each site in its adj acency scan list. The signal q uality metric used for the Pro Scan
algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Control
Channel Verification (CCV) measurements. When the selected system’s signal quality level degrades
below a programmed level, the radio begins to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel
that exceeds the programmed parameters is found, the radio changes to the new system and emits a tone.
If the control channel is completely lost, the radio enters Wide Area System Scanning and searches the
programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found.

The radio monitors the priority system and switches to the priority system if the priority system meets the
criteria. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio scans for the priority system is defined by the
System Sample Time control.

8.10.6.4 Priority System Scan

The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. To ensure this feature operates correctly, t he
control channel of the priority system must be located on channel one unless the ProScan algorithm is
being used.

The priority system is the desired o r preferred system. While recei ving the control ch annel of t he selected
system, the radio periodically leaves the selected system and searches for the control channel of the
priority system at a programmable rate. The programmable rate is defined by the value in the Priority
Scan Time control, unless the Pro Scan al gor ith m is enab led . Th is p rio rity scan ti mer i s re set each ti me the
PTT button is pressed or when a call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, or meets
the predefined ProScan criteria, the radio automatically switches to the priority system.

8.10.6.5 Turning System Scan On and Off

8.10.6.5.1 With the Menu (if Programmed)

If the System Scan function is programmed to a radio menu, press the MENU button and then press the +
or – buttons to scroll through the menu until SYS SCAN displays. Next, press the MENU button again to
toggle the System Scan state between on and off. SYSC ON or SYSC OFF displays for two seconds to
show the new system scan state.

8.10.6.5.2 With a Button (if Programmed)

If the Sy stem Scan function is programmed to a radio button, press this button to toggle the system scan
feature on and off. SYSC ON or SYSC OFF displays for two seconds to show the new system scan state.

72

8.10.7 Group Scan Operations on a Trunked System

8.10.7.1 General Information

Talk groups on the radio’s scan li st are scanned when the sc an feature is turned on (i.e., enabled). Groups
are added to the scan list on a per system basis through programming, the radio keypad, or both,

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

when the

NOTE

NOTE

dependent upon programming. The scan list can be changed by the user from the keypad if the radio is not
programmed with a fixed list. Each system’s group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is
turned off. The radio can also be programmed to provide Trunked Priority Group Scan capability, which
operates similar to priority scan in analog conventional mode. Group scan related features include:

• Scan Hang Time — The delay time the radio waits before resuming scan after the microphone’s
push-to-talk button is released or after the received call has en ded (i.e., after the workin g channel has
dropped).

• TX Select — The group the radio transmits on while scanning. The radio is programmed to transmit
on either the scanned group or the selected group.

• Scan List (privileges) — This feature allows or prohibits scan list changes by the user.

• P1 Programming — Priority group programming is accomplished by one (and only one) of the

following three methods:
 From the keypad, where the priority programming is not fixed and does not follow the selected

channel;

 Priority 1 group programming follows the selected channel; or,
 Priority 1 group programming is fixed during PC programming and cannot be changed by the

user.

• P1 Always Scan — Determines if the Priority 1 group is always scanned , regardless of the scan state
set by the user.

8.10.7.2 Turning Scan On and Off

Toggle scan operation between on (enabled) and off (disabled) by pressing the button programmed with
the SCAN function (typically the SCAN button) or, if programmed, by selecting this function on the
menu. When scan is scanning groups, (i.e., when scan is on/enabled), the (Scan) icon rotates in the
bottom of the display and the radio scans the groups on the trunked group scan list.

Scanning stops when the radio is receiving or transmitting a call. Scanning also stops while
the microphone is off-hook, if the hookswitch feature is enabled through programming.

If the radio is not programmed to scan, SCAN DIS (for scan disabled) displays
SCAN function is selected.

When a group on the scan list receives a channel assignment, the radio un mutes on the assigned channel,
the Transmit/Busy indicator lights green and the received scan group is displayed.

The radio continues scanning if a n ew gr oup is selected when sc an is o n. If the radio is receiving a call on
a non-selected group when scan is turned off, it returns to the selected group.

Pressing the microphone’s PTT button when scan is on causes the radio to transmit either on the
displayed group or on the currently selected group, depending on programming.

When the radio is scanning, selecting the SCAN ADD function (if programmed) recalls the scanned
group that last received a call. This group is recalled for a period equal to the scan hang-time.

73

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

NOTE

8.10.7.3 Priority Group Scanning

When scan is on (enabled) and the scan list has Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups, the radio listens to calls
on those groups and the selected group. While receiving a scanned group call, the radio continues to
monitor the selected Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups and drops the call if the selected group or other
higher priority call becomes active. During a Priority 2 call the radio continues to monitor for a Priority 1
group call.

The radio monitors for Agency an d Fleet calls that correspond to the Agency an d Fleet associated with
the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups. Priority Agency and Fleet calls are indicated by displaying AGENCY
or FLEET and associated Priority 1 or 2 group.

8.10.7.4 Adding Groups to the Scan Li st and Changing a Group’s Scan Priority

Either the SCAN ADD function or the SCAN A/D (add/delete) function can be used to add a group to the
scan list and change its scan priority level. This procedure assumes the desired group for adding to the
scan list is programmed in the currently selected system but not currently on the scan list. Also, it is
assumed the radio is not programmed with a fixed scan list.

1. Turn scan off, if it is not already off. This can be accomplished by pressing the button programmed
with the SCAN function (typically the SCAN button) or, if programmed, by selecting this function
on the menu. When scan is off, the icon is not displayed.

2. Select the SCAN ADD function or the SCAN A/D function to add the currently selected group to the
scan list as a non-priority scan group. Either function may be programmed to a radio button or on the
menu. When set as a non-priority scan group, the icon (non-priority scan icon = 3 bars) appears at
the bottom of the display.

If neither function is programmed, it is not possible to add the group to the scan list unless the radio is
re-programmed.

If the radio displays FIXED LST, it is prog rammed with a fixed scan li st and this list cannot be
changed without radio re-programming.

3. If desired, select the same function again to set the group as the Priority 2 scan group. The icon
(Priority 2 scan icon = 2 bars) appears at the bottom of the display.

4. If desired, select the same function again to set the group as the Priority 1 scan group. The icon
(Priority 1 scan icon = 1 bar) appears at the bottom of the display.

If the radio displays FIXED P1, a group has been programmed as the fixed Priority 1 group. In
this case, another group cannot be set as the Priority 1 group, and the fixed Priority 1 group
cannot be changed from the Priority 1 group unless the radio is re-programmed.

5. Another group can be added to the list by selecting the group and then repeating from step 2.

74

6. If desired, turn scan on by selecting the SCAN function.

If the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups were already set and a new group is assigned as the Priority 1 or the
Priority 2 scan group, then the previously assigned group changes to non-priority scanning.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

When using the SCAN ADD function, the priority level selection sequence advances the group to the
next higher priority level and stops at Priority 1. To select a lower priority level, the group must be
deleted from the scan list (using the SCAN DEL function or the SCAN A/D function) and then added
back to the scan list. Each new group added to the scan list starts at the non-priority level (i.e., the lowest
level).

When using the SCAN A/D function, the priority level selection sequence wraps from Priority 1 to no
scan. Since this function can both add and delete, it may be desired so other functions can be programmed
to the limited number of radio buttons.

8.10.7.5 Deleting Groups from the Scan List

Either the SCAN DEL (scan delete) function or the SCAN A/D (scan add/delete) function can be used to
delete a group from the scan list. The SCAN A/D function can also be used to change the group’s scan
priority level. This procedure assumes th e desired group for deleting from the scan list is programmed in
the currently selected system and currently on the scan list. Also, it is assumed the radio is not
programmed with a fixed scan list.

1. Turn scan off, if it is not already off. This can be accomplished by pressing the button programmed
with the SCAN function (typically the SCAN button) or, if programmed, by selecting this function
on the menu. When scan is off, the icon is not displayed.

2. If programmed, select the SCAN DEL function once to delete/remove the group from the scan list.
The scan icon clears from the display when thi s f unction is selected.

Alternately, select the SCAN A/D function one or more times until no scan icons (i.e., no bars)
appear in the display. At this point, the group is removed from the scan list.

If neither function is programmed, it is not possible to delete the group from the scan list unless the
radio is re-programmed.

3. If desired, turn scan on by selecting the SCAN function.

8.10.7.6 Nuisance Delete

If not the currently selected group, a group can be temporarily deleted from the scan list by selecting the
SCAN DEL (scan delete) function when the radio is scanning and receiving a call on the unwanted
group. This action prevents calls from being received on the unselected group, since the group is
temporarily removed from the scan list. Deletion s performed in this manner do not remain deleted after
the radio is turned off and back on.

8.10.8 Telephone Interconnect Call Operations on a Trunked System

8.10.8.1 Receiving a Telephone Interconnect Call

When the radio receives a telephone intercon nect call, it unmutes on the assigned working channel, and
displays PHONE, INDV and the (Busy) icon. A telephone interconnect call is han dled similar
to an individual call in the trunked system; it is only directed to an individual radio in the system.

To respond to the caller and proceed with the call, press the microphone’s PTT button and speak into the
mic at a normal voice level. When done speaking, release the PTT button and listen for a rep ly. Repeat a s
necessary to complete the conversation.

75

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

See the DTMF Overdial section that follows if access to services requiring “overdial” is needed.
Overdial operations are available for any special call whether it is an individual call or a telephone
interconnect call.

8.10.8.2 Sending a Telephone Interconnect Call

Use the following procedure to initiate and complete a telephone interconnect call:

1. To select the desired programmed telephone number, select the PHONE function (programmed menu
or button) then use the + or – buttons to scroll through the list until the desired number is displayed.

2. Press and release the PTT button. The radio performs the necessary signaling required to obtain a
communication channel for the call. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit,
its Transmit/Busy indicator lights red and th e channel access tone sounds. The display shows
*PHONE* and indicates the accompanying name. The radio then automatically transmits the number.

Unsuccessful interconnect signaling returns the radio to the normal receive mode and the number
remains displayed until the special call is cleared by pressing the CLR button or the time-out expires
or another group or system is selected.

3. Telephone ringing is heard. When someone answers the phone, press the microphone’s PTT button
and speak into the mic at a normal voice level. R elease the PTT button to listen to the caller.

4. To terminate the call, momentarily press the CLR button.

The radio is only capable o f half-duplex conversations. The caller’s message can only be sent
if the PTT button is pressed (the rad io is transmitting) and the caller can only be heard when
the PTT is released (the radio is receiving ) .

8.10.8.3 DTMF Overdial of Programmed Numbers

Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it may be necessary to
“overdial” more digits to access ban king services, an swering machines, credit card calls or other types of
systems that require DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency ) access digits. Overdial operation can also be
used to initiate a telephone interco nnect call via DTMF sig naling if a dial tone h as already been acc essed
on the system. Telephone numbers and other number sequences needed during overdial operations can be
programmed into the radio’s phone list.

1. Follow the Sending a Telephone Interconnect Call procedure to establish a connection to the
telephone system, or consult the radio system administrator for the procedure necessary to access a
dial tone on the trunked radio system.

2. To select the desired programmed number, select the PHONE function (programmed menu or
button) then use the + or – buttons to scroll through the list and select the desired number.

3. Press the microphone’s PTT button to send/transmit the selected number.

If a number needs to be transmitted again during the call, it must be selected again via the PHONE
function and the PTT button must be pressed again. This requirement prevents unwanted numbers from
being transmitted the next time(s) the PTT button is pressed during the call.

8.10.9 Mobile Data on a Trunked System

8.10.9.1 General Information

During trunked mode operations, voice or data calls can be transmitted or received by the radio. However,
the radio can handle only one type of call at a time. Selection of either data or voice is selected
transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio.

The radio can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232
compatible device that supports the Radio Data Int erface (RDI) protocol (Versio n 1.91 or greater) can be
connected to the radio. Support for a MDT or host computer is a programmable option. Additionally, a
radio programmed for a host computer can also be programmed for data-only operation (i.e., no voice
calls can be transmitted or received).

Always turn the radio off before connecting or disconnecting any cables, including the data
cable. Also, turn power to the radio off
computer. Failure to turn the power off can damage the radio, requiring service by a Harris
approved service center.

8.10.9.2 Mobile Data-Related Messages

The following messages may be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation:

Displayed wh en the radio is transmitting or receiving a data call

8.10.9.3 Mobile 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, the DATA OFF displays. An ongoing data call is allowed to complete except when an
emergency is declared.

• Removing the microphone from the hookswitch (hookswitch option must be enabled by

programming).

• Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone

sounds.

• Pressing the OPT button. Alert tone sounds.

• Selecting the programmed function via the MENU button.

77

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

8.10.9.4 Mobile Data On Operation

The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled). DATA ON displays
for two (2) seconds then the display returns to normal.

• Replacing the microphone into the hookswitch (going on-hook). Only valid if the DATA OFF
operation was entered by removing the microphone from the hookswitch (going off-hook).

• Clearing an emergency, but valid only if an emergency caused DATA OFF operation.

8.10.9.5 Exiting Mobile 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 conditions
occurs, the data call is immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function:

• The PTT is activated.

• An emergency is declared by pressing the programmed Emergency/Home button.

• A group or system change is made.

8.10.9.6 Scan Lockout Mode

Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, scanning stops temporarily
(duration programmed). During this time the scan status icon stops rotating to indicate that scan is
enabled but temporarily suspended. This mode is normally exited when the programmed time expires;
however, the following actions terminate the scan lockout mode before the timeout is completed.

• Pressing the CLR button.

• Pressing the microphone’s PTT button.

• Removing the microphone from its hookswitch (i.e., going “off-hook”).

• Changing the currently selected group or system.

• Entering phone call mode.

• Entering individual call mode.

• Receiving a new emergency assignment.

• Declaring or clearing an emergency.

• Receiving an individual or phone call.

• Receiving an Agency, Fleet, or System All Call.

• Pressing the SCAN button (or selecting the SCAN function) to turn scan on or off.

8.10.9.7 Data Lockout Mode

The data lockout mode is a programmed mode. When enabled, the radio does not respond to any data
channel assignments and prevents receive data cal ls from interrupting voice calls. Tran smit data calls are
still initiated when needed by the operator. After a programmed time, the radio responds to receive data
calls; however, the following conditions clear the data lockout mode:

78

• Pressing the CLR button.

• Transmitting a data call.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

• Changing the system.

• Declaring an emergency.

• Pressing the SCAN button (or selecting the SCAN function) to turn scan on or off.

8.10.10 Status Operations on a Trunked System

The Status feature allows for the transmission of programmed statuses to the radio system. Different
statuses can be programmed into the radio and selected one-at-a-time for transmission. Each status is
assigned an ID number that is cross-referenced with the representative status condition established by
radio system administration personnel. For example, a particular status ID number could be assign as
meaning “Off Du ty” throughout the radio system. Note that the same ID number could be programmed,
for example, as “STATUS 1” in one radio but as “STATUS 5” in anoth er radio. At dispatch consoles in
the radio system, the Status feature is typ ically referred to as Request Status Message (RSM).

One or more radio buttons may be programmed for status operation. For examples, the
programmed to transmit an “En Route” status after it is pressed, the
transmit an “At Scene” status after it is pressed, and the

C button could be programmed to transmit a

B button could be programmed to

A button could be

“Send EMT” status after it is pressed.
To transmit a status, press the respective button to set the status f or transmission. After a short delay or

after being polled by the radio system (per radio programming), the status will be transmitted. Consult
with radio system’s network administration personnel for programming information for a specific radio.

Transmission of the status set for transmission can be canceled before the timer expires (or
before the radio system polls th e radio for it, if so programmed) by pressing the CLR button.
This may be necessary if an incorrect statu s was selected.

If the radio is programmed for automatic st atus transmissio n, it transmits the selected status e ach time the
status is set for transmission (and if used, after the timer expires). However, if the radio is programmed
for polled status transmission, the radio waits until it is polled by the radio sy stem (i.e., the trunked site)
before it transmits the selected status set for tra nsmission.

If the status cannot be transmitted immediately, it is stored in the radio’s memory where it can be polled
by the radio system at a future time.

When the radio system receives a tr ansmitted status, it sends an acknowledgement message back t o the
radio and the radio then sounds a high-pitched tone. If the radio system does not receive the status
properly, the radio sounds a low-pitched tone upon receipt of the acknowledgement message from the
radio system.

If no status has been programmed f or the selected sta tus, the NO ENTRY displays and the radio sounds a
low-pitched tone.

8.10.11 Message Operations on a Trunked System

The Message feature allows for the transmission of programmed messages to t he radio system. Different
messages can be programmed into th e radio and sel ected one-at-a-time for transmission. Each message is
assigned an ID number that is cross-referen ced with the representative message condition established by
radio system administration personnel . For example, a particular message ID number coul d be assign as
meaning “Please Call” throughout the radio system. Note that the same ID number could be programmed,
for example, as “MESSAGE 1” in one rad io but as “ME SSAGE 5” in an other rad io. At dispatch consoles
in the radio system, the Message feature is typ ically referred to as Request-To-Talk (RTT), since it allows
a dispatcher to quickly set-up an individual call back to the radio that transmitted a message.

79

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

NOTE

One or more radio buttons may be programmed for message operation. Fo r examples, the A button could
be programmed to transmit a message corresponding to “I-Call ASAP” after it is pressed, and the
button could be programmed to transmit a message corresponding to “Run Plate” after it is pressed.

To transmit a message, press the respect ive button to set the message fo r transmission . After a shor t delay
or after being polled by the radio system (per radio programming), the message will be transmitted.
Consult with radio system’s network administration personnel for programming information for a specific
radio.

Transmission of the message set for trans mission can be canceled befo re the timer expires (or
before the radio system polls the radio for it, if so programmed) by pressing the CLR button.
This may be necessary if an incorrect message was selected.

If the radio is programmed for automatic message transmission, it transmits the selected messag e each
time the message is set fo r transmission (and if used, after the timer expires). However, if the radio i s
programmed for polled message transmission, the radio waits until it is polled by the radio sy stem (i.e.,
the trunked site) before it transmits the selected message set for transmission.

If the message cannot be transmitted immediately, it is stored in the radio’s memory where it can be
polled by the radio system at a future time.

When the radio system receives a transmitted message, it sends an ackno wledgement mess age back to the
radio and the radio then sounds a high-pitched tone. If the radio system does not receive the message
properly, the radio sounds a low-pitched tone upon receipt of the acknowledgement message from the
radio system.

B

If no message has been programmed for the selected message, the NO ENTRY displays and the radio
sounds a low-pitched tone.

8.10.12 Conventional Failsoft (EDACS/ProVoice Onl y)

In the unlikely event of an EDACS/ProVoice trunked radio system failure, communications can take
place in a system mode know as “conventional failsoft” mode. In this mode, the radio is automatically
directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose, and the radio displays a CONV FS message.
An increase in activity on the channel during conventional failsoft operation may be noticed. In this case,
do not to transmit until the channel is clear.

Operation during conventional failsoft is the sa me as operation on a con ventional system, excep t that it is
not possible to select a communications channel, or use emergency and special call. When trunking is
restored, the radio is automatically returned to normal operation.

Trunked Emergency and Special Call do not function when the conventional failsoft mode is
active. In addition, the group control (GRP) does not operate.

8.10.13 Conventional Priority

The Conventional Priority Scan feature (sometimes referred to as “ECP1 Scan”) allows th e radio, when
operating on a trunked radio system, to scan a programmed conventional syst em and chann el as a priority
channel. If activity is detected on this channel, the radio unmutes and remains on this channel for the
programmable hang-time. This feature is available for EDACS, ProVoice and P25 trunked radio
systems/modes. It must be programmed to the radio’s trunked menu or to a radio button to allow it to be
turned on and off. At radio power-up, it is always off (disabled).

8.10.14 Dynamic Regroup Operation

8.10.14.1 General Information

Dynamic regroup operation is a feature that permits up to eight (8) talk groups to be added to a radio by
network administration personnel. The radio must be programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic
regrouping is not activated in a radio until an activation message is sent from the radio system. Each radio
that receives and acknowledges regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.

Pressing and holding the CLR button for 2.5 seconds toggles the radio into and out of the dynamic
regroup group set. A double beep sounds for entry or exit. The radio displays REGR_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, NO ENTRY displays. The radio
is prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups.

8.10.14.2 Emergency Operation

If the programmed group set on the currently selected system contains an emergency/home group and the
radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio exits dynamic regroup and declares the emergency on the home
group. If no emergency/home group is present, th e radio declares th e emergency on th e currently selected
dynamic regroup group.

8.10.15 Paging Operations (P25 Trunked Systems Only)

The radio’s paging feature, if programmed, sends a “ping” type message to another radio in a P25 trunked
system. It functions similar to the individual call feature. To initiate and complete a page:

1. Press the MENU button to activate the menu function. The programmed menu functions appear in the
display. The > symbol at the left of a menu function indicates the currently selected function.

Alternately, if another button such as one (1) of the three (3) preset buttons is programmed with the
Page function, press this button and advance to step 4.

2. Press the + or – buttons to scroll through the menu until PAGE is selected with the > symbol.

3. Press the MENU butt on again to access the individual call list.

4. Press the + or – buttons to select a previously stored radio via the individual call list. While in the
individual call list, press the MENU button to toggle the display between the calling radio’s call name
(i.e., alias) and the calling radio’s unit ID number (i.e., logical ID number).

5. Press the microphone’s PTT button. The radio performs the necessary signaling on the control
channel. On the calling radio, the called individual’s name if found in the individuals call list, or ID
followed by the radio unit ID number of the radio being called displays. If the receiving radio
receives the page and responds, both radios emit three (3) high-pitched tones. The receiving radio also
displays PAGE and the calling radio’s identification.

NOTE

8.11.4 Individual Calls on a P25 Conventional System

8.11.4.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call

An individual call is a unit-to-unit radio call which involves only two (2) radios. When the radio receives
an individual call from another radio, it unmutes (i.e., audio transmitted from the calling radio is heard in
the speaker/headset) and the (Busy) status icon displays. The radio may also be programmed to ring, as
described in the next paragraph. Upon receiving an individual call, the radio displays either the logical ID
number or the name of the radio unit that originated the individual call. If the originating radio unit’s
name is present in the radio (respective to its ID nu mber), the originating radio unit’s name is displayed.
If the originating radio unit’s name is not present in the radio (respective to its ID number), the
originating radio’s ID number is displayed.

The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If so, the ring begins five (5)
seconds after the caller (i.e., the originating radio) unkeys and it will continue until the microphone’s PTT
button is pressed, or the CLR button is pressed, or the individual call mode is entered. The volume level
of the ring is adjustable via the radio’s Power On/Off/Volume control.

The microphone’s hookswitch functions the same as the CLR button in individual call, phone
call, and menu modes.

If a response is made to the call by pressing the microphone’s PTT button prior to expiration of the
programmed call-back time-out period, the call will be automatically directed to the originating unit via
an individual call. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out period expires, the radio will
return to normal receive display, and WHC (Who Has C al led) will appear in the display.

To respond after expiration of the call-back time-out period, press the programmed Individual Call
function key (if programmed) or access this function via the menu. The radio’s display will show the
caller’s ID and WHCI=1 (Who Has Called – Individual 1). At this point, pressing the microphone’s PTT
button will initiate an individual call back to the original caller.

Pressing the CLR button cancels reception of an individual call and returns the radio to the normal
operation. In this case, if the name and/or ID number of the originating radio is not known, the Who Has
Called (WHC) list must be accessed in order to call the originating radio back.

Pressing the microphone’s PTT button will initiate an individual call to the displayed logical ID.
Powering the radio off and on will clear this list.

The basic procedure to receive an individual call on a P25 conventional radio system is:

1. If not already, turn the radio on by rotating its Power On/Off/Volume control clockwise out of the

detent position. The radio’s display activates and if enabled through programming, a short alert signal
sounds to indicate the radio is ready to use.

2. Select the desired P25 conventional radio system. Refer to Section 8.9.7 as necessary. The currently

selected system is indicated in the top l ine of the display.

3. The radio is now ready to receive group and individual calls. It unmutes according to the squelch

mode defined per radio programming (monitor, normal, selective).

4. When the radio receives an individual call, it unmutes and the unit ID/name of the calling (i.e.,

transmitting) radio displays.

5. Rotate the Power/On/Off/Volume control to adjust the radio to desired volume level.

86

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

6. Press the PTT button to respond to the caller.
Unanswered individual calls appear in th e Who Has Called (WHC) list.

8.11.4.2 Transmitting an Individual Call

1. Press the MENU button to activate the menu function. The programmed menu functions appear in the

display. The > symbol at the left of a menu function indicates the currently selected function.

2. Select the desired radio unit for calling from either the Calls Received List (WHCI1 through

WHCI10) or a pre-stored unit via the Individual Call (INDV) menu function (if programmed).
To select a pre-stored unit (if programmed) from the Individual Call menu, scroll through the list of

pre-stored phone numbers using the + or - buttons until the desired ID number or unit name is
displayed, the press the MENU button.

3. Press the microphone’s PTT button. When the radio is clear to transmit turns on, turns off, and
the channel access tone sounds. The called individual’s name (or radio ID number) and INDV

8.11.5 Emergency Group Calls on a P25 Conventional System

When operating on a P25 conventional system, there is no method available for a system-wide
emergency clear. An emergency group call must be manually cleared at each rad io. See Section

8.11.5.3 that follows for clearing methods that can be used.

8.11.5.1 Receiving an Emergency Group Call

1. If not already, turn the radio on by rotating its Power On/Off/Volume control clockwise out of the
detent position. The radio’s display activates and if enabled through programming, a short alert signal
sounds to indicate the radio is ready to use. Also depending upon radio programming, the radio
powers-up with either the last selected group or the power-up group.

2. Select the desired/required P25 conventional radio system. Refer to Section 8.9.7 as necessary. The
currently selected system is indicated in the top line of the display, and the (P25) icon appears at
the bottom of the display.

3. Select the desired gr oup. Refer to Section 8.9.8 as necessary. The currently selected group is indicated
in the middle line of the display. The radio is now ready to receive calls on the group.

When the radio detects an incoming emergency group call, it sounds an alert tone and RXEMER
displays. Voice or emergency transmissions are heard.

8.11.5.2 Declaring an Emergency on a Group

1. Set the radio to receive calls on the desired P25 conventional radio system and talk group per the
previous section.

2. Press the red Emergency/Home button on the front of the radio. The radio then broadcasts a short
emergency transmission and TXEMER displays.

3. To send a voice message, press the microphone’s PTT button and speak into the microphone.

NOTE

8.11.5.3 Clearing an Emergency

Clear an emergency using one of the following methods:

• Select another radio system;

• Change channels (if not prohibited by radio programming);

• Cycle radio power by turning the radio off and then back on; or,

• If the radio is programmed with clear e merg ency privileges, simultaneously press the CLR button

and the red Emergency/Home button.

8.11.6 Status Operations on a P25 Conventional System

The Status feature allows for the transmission of programmed statuses to the radio system Different
statuses can be programmed into the radio and selected one-at-a-time for transmission. Each status is
assigned an ID number that is cross-referenced with the representative status condition established by
radio system administration personnel. For example, a particular status ID number could be assign as
meaning “Off Du ty” throughout the radio system. Note that the same ID number could be programmed,
for example, as “STATUS 1” in one radio but as “STATUS 5” in anoth er radio. At dispatch consoles in
the radio system, the Status feature is typ ically referred to as Request Status Message (RSM).

One or more radio buttons may be programmed for status operation. For examples, the
programmed to transmit an “En Route” status after it is pressed, the
transmit an “At Scene” status after it is pressed, and the

C button could be programmed to transmit a

B button could be programmed to

A button could be

“Send EMT” status after it is pressed.
To transmit a status, press the r espective button to set the status for transmission. After a short d elay, the

status will be transmitted. Consult with radio system’s network administration personnel for programming
information for a specific radio.

Transmission of the status set for transmission can be canceled before the
pressing the CLR button. This may be necess ar y if an incorrect status was selected.

When the radio system receives a tr ansmitted status, it sends an acknowledgement message back t o the
radio and the radio then sounds a high-pitched tone. If the radio system does not receive the status
properly, the radio sounds a low-pitched tone upon receipt of the acknowledgement message from the
radio system.

8.11.7 Message Operations on a P25 Conventional System

The Message feature allows for the tran smission of progr ammed messages to the radio system. Up to ten
(10) different messages can be programmed into the radio and selected one-at-a-time for transmission.
Each message is assigned an ID number that is cross-referenced with the representative message
condition established by radio system administration personnel. For example, a particular message ID
number could be assign as meaning “Please Call” throughout the radio system. Note that the same ID
number could be programmed, for example, as “MESSAGE 1” in one radio but as “MESSAGE 5” in
another radio. At dispatch consoles in the radio system, the Message feature is typically referred to as
Request-To-Talk (RTT), since it allows a dispat cher to quickly set-up an individual call back to the radio
that transmitted a message.

88

One or more radio buttons may be programmed for message operation. For examples, the

A button could

be programmed to transmit a message corresponding to “I-Call ASAP” after it is pressed, and the
button could be programmed to transmit a message corresponding to “Run Plate” after it is pressed.

B

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

To transmit a message, press the respective button to set the message for transmission. After a short delay,
the message will be transmitted. Consult with radio system’s network administration personnel for
programming information for a specific radio.

Transmission of the message set for transmission can be canceled before the timer expires by
pressing the CLR button. This may be necess ar y if an incorrect message was selected.

When the radio system receives a transmitted message, it sends an ackno wledgement mess age back to the
radio. The radio sounds a high-pitched tone upon receiving this acknowledgement message. If the radio
system does not recei ve the message properly, the radio sounds a low-pitched tone upon receipt of the
acknowledgement message from the radi o system.

8.12.3 Receiving a Call on an Analog Conventional System

Follow this basic procedure to receive a call:

1. If not already, turn the radio on by rotating its Power On/Off/Volume control clockwise out of the

detent position. The radio’s display activates and if enabled through programming, a short alert signal
sounds to indicate the radio is ready to use.

2. Select the desired analog conventional radio system. Refer to Section 8.9.7 as necessary . The

currently selected system is indicated in the top line of the display, and the (analog channel) icon
appears at the bottom of the display.

3. Select the desired channel. Refer to Section 8.9.8 as necessary. The currently selected channel is

indicated in the middle line of the display. Th e r adio is now ready to receive calls on the channel.

4. When the radio receives a call (and the correct encoding is decoded, if programmed and enabled), it

unmutes on the channel, the (Busy) status icon displays, and the Tx/Busy indicator lights green to
visually indicate the presence of the call on the channel.

Optional: Press the CLR button to disabled squelch and monitor any calls on the channel (with or
without signaling).

5. If necessary, make a volume adjustment by rotating the Power On/Off/Volume control.

8.12.4 Transmitting a Call on an Analog Convent i onal System

3. Verify the channel is not busy (i.e., no call currently exists on it) by observing for the lack of the

(Busy) status icon in the display. If this icon is present in the display, do not proceed until it
disappears.

For an analog convention channel, a channel’s busy/not busy status can also be checked by
briefly depressing the radio’s CLR button. This disables squelch and any channel programmed

If the Channel Busy Lockout feature is programmed for the selected channel, the radio will not
transmit when the channel is busy

4. Press and hold the microphone’s PTT button. If the Call Originate (sometimes called Ready-To-Talk)

alert tone is programmed, the radio will sound a short beep tone when it begins transmitting on the
channel.

5. Hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from the mouth and speak into it in a normal voice.

6. When the transmission is complete, release the PTT button and listen for a reply.

7. Repeat transmissions as necessary.

8.12.5 Scanning Channels on an Analog Conventional System

Channels which have been previously added to the scan list on a per radio system basis, can b e scanned.
The selected channel is scanned (if enabled through programming) whether or not it is in the scan list.
Each conventional radio system’s channel scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off.

The scan rate varies depending upon the number of channels in the scan list and whether or not the radio
is programmed to scan for channels with decodin g enabled. Fewer ch annels results i n a faster scan rate. If
programmed for dual-priority scan operation, the priority 1, priority 2, and the remaining scan list
channels are scanned. Once a signal is detected and the correct encoded squelch signal is decoded (if
programmed), the radio receives the m essage and displays the received scan chann el. At the same time,
scanning continues on the priority 1 and priority 2 channels. If a priority 1 or priority 2 channel carrier,
regardless of encoded squelch decoding, is d etected while a non-priority channel is being received, the
display name is updated and the received channel is switched to the priority channel. Scanning of the
priority 1 channel continues if a message is being received on the priority 2 channel.

While receiving a call on a non-priority or a priority 2 channel, the radio periodically checks the priority 1
and 2 channels. If scan with Channel Guard is enabled, the radio uses Channel Guard to decide wh ether to
unmute on a priority channel. The radio stops, on squelch detection, on a priority channel. In normal
operation, the radio unmutes only on detecting the correct Channel Guard; otherwise, it remains muted
until the priority channel call and hang time have ended. An optional feature allows the radio to continue
scanning upon the detection of the wrong Channel Guard on a priority channel. The user can then select
the rate at which this channel is scanned until the call ends.

93

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

NOTE

8.12.5.1 Turning Scan On and Off

Toggle scan operation on and off by selecting the SCAN function. Typically, this is performed by
pressing the SCAN button, if so programmed. This function may also be programmed to the radio’s
conventional menu. When the radio is scanning channels (i.e., whe n scan i s on ), the (Scan) icon rotates
in the bottom line of the display and the radio scans the channels currently on the conventional scan list.

Scanning stops when the radio is receiving or transmitting a call. Scanning also stops while the
microphone is off-hook if the hookswitch function is enabled via radio programming.

When a channel on the scan list has an active call , the radio unmutes, the Tx/Busy indi cator lights green,
and the call is heard in the radio’s speaker/headset.

The radio continues scanning if a new channel i s selected when scan is on. If the radio is receiving a call
on a non-selected channel when scan is turned off, it returns to the selected channel.

Pressing the PTT button when scan is on causes the radio to transmit on the displayed channel or on the
currently selected channel, depending on programming.

When the radio is scanning, selecting the SCAN ADD function (if programmed) recalls the scanned
channel that last received a call. This channel is recalled for a period equal to the scan hang-time. This
function may be programmed to the radio’s conventional menu or to a radio button.

When scan is turned off, the radio resumes operation on the selected channel.

8.12.5.2 Adding Channels to the Scan List

Either the SCAN ADD function or the SCAN A/D (add/delete) function can be used to add a channel to
the scan list and change its sc an priority level. This pro cedure assumes the desired ch annel for adding to
the scan list is programmed in the cu rrently selected system but not cu rrently on the scan list. Also, it is
assumed the radio is not programmed with a fixed scan list.

1. Turn scan off, if it is not already off. This can be accomplished by pressing the button programmed
with the SCAN function (typically the SCAN button) or, if programmed, by selecting this function
on the menu. When scan is off, the icon is not displayed.

2. Select the SCAN ADD function or the SCAN A/D function to add the currently selected channel to
the scan list as a non-priority scan channel. Either function may be programmed to a radio button or
on the menu. When set as a non-priority scan channel, the icon ( non-priority scan icon = 3 bars)
appears at the bottom of the display.

If neither function is programmed, it is not possible to add the channel to the scan list unless the radio
is re-programmed.

If the radio displays FIXED LST, it is prog rammed with a fixed scan li st and this list cannot be
changed without radio re-programming.

94

3. If desired, select the same function again to set the channel as the Priority 2 scan channel. The icon
(Priority 2 scan icon = 2 bars) appears at the bottom of the display.

4. If desired, select the same function again to set the channel as the Priority 1 scan channel. The icon
(Priority 1 scan icon = 1 bar) appears at the bottom of the display.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

If the radio displays FIXED P1, a channel has been programmed as the fixed Priority 1 channel.
In this case, another channel cannot be set as the Priority 1 channel, and the fixed Priority 1
channel cannot be changed from the Priority 1 channel unless the radio is re-programmed.

5. Another channel can be added to the list by selecting the channel and then repeating from step 2.

6. If desired, turn scan on by selecting the SCAN function.
If the Priority 1 and Priority 2 channels wer e al ready set and a new channel is assigned as the Priority 1 or

the Priority 2 scan channel, then the previously assigned channel changes to non-priority scanning.
When using the SCAN ADD function, the priority level selection sequen ce advances the channel to the

next higher priority level and stops at Priority 1. To select a lower priority level, the channel must be
deleted from the scan list (using the SCAN DEL function or the SCAN A/D function) and then added
back to the scan list. Each new channel added to the scan list starts at the non-priority level (i.e., the
lowest level).

When using the SCAN A/D function, the priority level selection sequence wraps from Priority 1 to no
scan. Since this function can both add and delete, it may be desired so other functions can be programmed
to the limited number of radio buttons.

8.12.5.3 Deleting Channels from the Scan List

Either the SCAN DEL (scan delete) function or the SCAN A/D (scan add/delete) function can be used to
delete a channel from the scan list. Th e SCAN A/D function can also be used to change the channel’s
scan priority level. This procedure assumes the desired channel for deleting from the scan list is
programmed in the currently selected system and currently on the scan list. Al so, it is assumed the radio is
not programmed with a fixed scan list.

1. Turn scan off, if it is not already off. This can be accomplished by pressing the button programmed
with the SCAN function (typically the SCAN button) or, if programmed, by selecting this function
on the menu. When scan is off, the icon is not displayed.

2. If programmed, select the SCAN DEL function once to delete/remove the channel from the scan list.
The scan icon clears from the display when thi s f unction is selected.

Alternately, select the SCAN A/D function one or more times until no scan icons (i.e., no bars)
appear in the display. At this point, the channel is removed from the scan list.

If neither function is programmed, it is not possible to delete the channel from the scan list unless the
radio is re-programmed.

3. If desired, turn scan on by selecting the SCAN function.

8.12.5.4 Nuisance Delete

If not the currently selected chann el, a channel can be temporarily deleted from the scan li st by selecting
the SCAN DEL (Scan Delete) function when the radio is scanning and receiving a call on the unwanted
channel. This action p revents calls from being received on the unselected chan nel, since the channel is
temporarily removed from the scan list. Deletions performed in this manner do not remain deleted after
the radio’s power is cycled. The Scan Delete function may be programmed to a radio button, or menu, or
both.

8.12.6 Squelch Adjustment for an Analog Conventional System

In the conventional mode of operation, the radio’s receiver squelch setting can be adjusted via the menu
(if programmed) or via a button that has been programmed with the Squelch function. The default squelch
setting is nine (9). Any setting between one (1) and sixteen (16) can be selected if the Squelch function is
available. Whenever a channel has an active call, the Tx/Busy indicator lights green.

A setting of sixteen (16) requires a very strong signal to open squelch
radio), a setting of approximately five (5) requires a very weak signal to open squelch, and a
setting of one (1) is open squelch. Numbers will vary from radio-to-radio and per existing radio
frequency conditions.

When the squelch adjust function
disabled. When the squelch adjust function is exited, Channel Guard, T99 decode, and Scan are
restored to their previous states.

1. Press the MENU button to activate the menu function.

Alternately, if another button such as one (1) o f the three (3) preset buttons is programmed with the
Squelch function, press this button and advance to step 3.

2. Press the + or – buttons to scroll through the menu until SQUELCH is selected with the > symbol, and
then press the MENU button again.

3. SQLCH=xx, where xx is the current squelch setting appears in the second line of the display. The
range is 1 to 16. Press the + or – buttons to increase or decrease the current squelch setting as
required. Higher settings require a strong er received signal to open squelch.

4. Press the MENU button again to save the new setting and return to a normal display. If the MENU
button is not pressed after a short period, menu selection automatically exits and the new squelch
setting is not saved.

8.12.7 Type 99 Decoding on an Analog Conventional System

96

8.12.7.1 General Information

Type 99 is a form of selective signaling. Selective signaling controls the muting and unmuting of receiver
audio via sequential tone signals sent over radio chann els. Radio base stations, mobile radios or portable
radios with Type 99 encode capability can selectively call individual radio units or groups of radio units
in an analog conventional radio system. Type 99 is typically used in paging operations so a dispatcher can

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

NOTE

selectively call a radio or a group of radios. If the radio is programmed for Type 99 decoding and this
decoding is on (enabled), the radio can decode individual, group, and supergroup Type 99 calls.

To perform Type 99 decoding operations, Type 99 tone sequences must be programmed into the radio
and at least one conventional channel must be programmed for Type 99 decode opera t ions .

When the radio decodes an appropriate Type 99 code sequence, the radio sounds an alert tone and it
displays an appropriate indication. The receiver then operates with noise squelched until Type 99
decoding is reset. Type 99 decoding continues to operate during this noise squelched period. The
appropriate Type 99 alert tone sounds again if it detects a valid tone sequence. Whenever a channel has an
active call, the Tx/Busy indicator lights green.

Type 99 operation can be manually or automatically reset (programmable). Manual reset is achieved by
briefly pressing the CLR button (if it is programmed with the MON CLR function). Automatic reset, if
programmed, occurs after a 30-second interval following the most recent decode of a Type 99 tone
sequence.

Type 99 decoding continues to be active while the CLR button is pressed (if it is programmed with the
MON CLR function). This allows the user to monitor calls and s till be alerted when a call is directed to
the radio. While the CLR button is pressed, calls and all Type 99 tone signals are heard in the
speaker/headset. If the CLR button is pressed for longer than two (2) seconds, Type 99 decoding is either
turned off or back on (disabled or re-enabled) depending upon its present state.

If an alert option is installed and enabled along with Type 99 decoding, the radio can be wired and
programmed to activate a vehicle dev ice such as a horn or light when a proper Type 99 call is received
and decoded. This option permits alerting of persons outside of the vehicle via Type 99 signaling.

Type 99 decoding is automatically turned off (disabled) when the radio is scanning (i.e., when
scan is on/enabled).

8.12.7.2 Turning Type 99 Decoding On and Off

When Type 99 decoding is off, it is disabled and considered to be in the “monitor” state. When Type 99
decoding is on, it is enabled and consi dered to be in th e “selective call” st ate. When on, the (Type 99)
icon appears at the bottom of the display.

If the radio is programmed for Type 99 decoding operation, it is typically programmed so Type 99
decoding can be manually turned on and off. Refer to the following subsections for details.

The radio can also be programmed so microphone hookswitch activation will turn Type 99 decoding on
and off. If so, decoding turns off when the mic is off hook and on when the mic is on hook.

In addition, the radio can also be programmed to automatically turn Type 99 decoding off for 30 seconds
when the microphone’s PTT button is pressed. This allows subsequent call respo nses without valid tone
sequences to be heard.

As previously noted, Type 99 decoding automatically turns off when the radio is scanning.
Radio programming allows each analog conventional channel to be programmed to support or to not

support Type 99 decoding operations. By default, if a channel is programmed to support Type 99
decoding, Type 99 decoding automatically turns on when the channel is selected. If the selected channel
is not programmed for Type 99 decoding, the radio sounds a low-pitched tone if an attempt is made to
manually turn it on.

97

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

8.12.7.2.1 With a Button

If a radio button is programmed so Type 99 decoding can be manually turned on and off, first select a
channel programmed to support Type 99 decoding and then press that button. If Type 99 decoding was
off, it toggles on and T99 ON briefly displays in the top line of the display. If Type 99 decoding was on,
it toggles off and T99 OFF briefly displays in the top line of the display. When Type 99 decoding is on,
the (Type 99) icon appears at the bottom of the display.

8.12.7.2.2 With the Menu

If the T99 EN (Type 99 Enable) function is programmed on the conventional menu, turn Type 99
decoding on and off as follows:

1. Select the desired/required channel programmed to support Type 99 decoding.

2. Press the MENU button to activate the menu function.

3. Press the + or – buttons to scroll through the menu until T99 EN is selected with the > symbol.

4. Press the MENU button to toggle the Type 99 decoding state between on and off. If Type 99
decoding was off, it toggles on and T99 ON briefly displays in the top line of the display. If Type 99
decoding was on, it toggles off and T99 OFF briefly displays in the top line of the display. When on,
the (Type 99) icon appears at the bottom of the display.

8.12.7.3 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 the T99 Mute Control
feature:

• If the “And” option is programmed, T99 calls require the correct selective signaling (T99 tone
sequence) and the correct Channel Guard tones before the radio will unsquelch.

• If the “Or” option is programmed, a call with the correct Channel Gu ard tone or with the correct T99
tone sequence will unsquelch the radio.

8.12.7.4 Resetting Type 99 After a Decoded Call

Type 99 operation can be manually or automatical ly reset (programmable). Manual reset is ach ieved by
briefly pressing the CLR button (if it is programmed with the MON CLR function). Automatic reset, if
programmed, occurs after a 30-second interval following the most recent decode of a Type 99 tone
sequence.

8.12.7.5 Type 99 Disable After Radio PTT

The radio may be programmed with the Type 99 Disable After PTT feature. This feature automatically
disables the Type 99 decoder (i.e., turns Type 99 decoding off) after a radio transmission.

8.12.8 MDC-1200 Signaling On An Analog Conventional System

98

The radio supports MDC-1200 signaling, including functions such as PTT ID and emergency. This
feature can be enabled on a per-channel basis. Both MDC-1200 encode and MDC-1200 decode
operations are supported.

14221-1510-2000, Rev. H

8.12.8.1 Transmission (Encode)

Along with voice audio, the radio can be programmed to transmit an MDC-1200-encoded identification
(ID) number on the selected channel with each press/release of the microphone’s PTT button. This
function is commonly referred to a “PTT ID.” This allows a radio to be identified with a unique number
throughout the radio system upon each transmission. Per radio programming, the ID number can be sent
when the mic’s PTT button is pressed (i.e., before voice audio is transmitted), when the mic’s PTT button
is released (i.e., after voice audio is transmitted), or at both PTT press and release.

The radio can be programmed to sound either a long or a short tone just prior to transmitting an
MDC-1200 signal. The long tone lasts approximately two seconds and the short tone lasts approximately
one-quarter of a second. When the tone sounds, remain keyed (i.e., keep the mic’s PTT button depressed)
but do not begin speaking into the mic. When the tone ends, begin speaking into the mic and then release
the PTT button when speaking is done. Consult with radio system’s network administration personnel for
programming information for a specific radio.

The radio can also be programmed with a “system pre-ti me” of between approximately 0 and 6.5 seconds.
The programmed time specifies the time delay between when the mic’s PTT is initially pressed (and the
radio begins transmitting) and when the MDC signaling is broadcast on the selected channel. For
example, if the radio’s programmed system pre-time is 3 seconds, MDC-1200 signaling is broadcast
3 seconds after keying the radio on a channel programmed for MDC-1200 operation. Consult with radio
system’s network administration personnel for programming information for a specific radio.

8.12.8.2 Receive (Decode)

The radio can be programmed to momentarily display MDC-1200 signaling information it receives. After
decoding a received PTT ID number on the selected chan nel, the radio displays either the received ID
number or the name corresponding to the transmitting radio. If the name for the ID number is
programmed into the radio, the name will be display ed when the ID number is received. Otherwise, the
received ID number is displayed. Consult with radio system’s network administration personnel for
programming information for a specific radio.

The period of time that the ID number/name remains displayed is programmable between 0 and 10
seconds. This is the “MDC hang time” setting. The default value is 7 seconds. If programmed at 0
seconds, no ID number/name is di splayed when an ID number is received. Co nsult with radio system’s
network administration personnel for programming information for a specific radio.

8.12.9 Emergency Calls On An Analog Conventi onal System

8.12.9.1 G-STAR Emergency Signaling

If enabled, G-STAR emergency signaling can be transmitted when operating in the analog conventional
mode. This G-STAR signaling transmits five (5) times with a d elay between each transmission. To send
an emergency call on the selected analog conventional radio system and channel (or on an optionally
programmed analog conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as follows. It is assumed the
radio is programmed for G-STAR emergency signaling.

Press and hold the red Home/Emergency button for approximately one second. This time is
programmable; therefore, it could be longer or shorter. Consult with the radio system’s network
administration personnel for programming information for a specific radio. The radio turns on the
Tx/Busy indicator lights red and it proceeds to transmit the programmed G-STAR emergency signaling
sequence.

The emergency state can be cleared by turning the radio off and then back on.

8.12.9.2 5-Tone Emergency Signalling

If 5-tone emergency signaling is defined for emergency declaration in place of G-STAR emergency
signaling, a programmed tone sequence is transmitted instead of the G-S TAR sequence. This emergency
declaration functions as the G-STAR emergency in all other respects.

8.12.9.3 Tone Encode Transmission

In analog conventional mode, two keys can be defined to be tone encode triggers. If either one of the
programmed tone encode triggers is pressed, a programmed tone sequence is transmitted on the current
radio system and channel. See Section 8.12.9 if the Emergency/Home key is used. The Tx/Busy indicator
lights red during the tone transmission and a beep sounds at the end of the transmission. If enabled,
audible side tones are heard in the radio speaker/headset a s well. If PTT is programmed as one of the
triggers, the microphone becomes active fo r voice communication after the tone sequence is complete.

Tone encode is transmitted with Channel Guard if one is defined, and tones are always transmitted in
clear voice mode, even if the channel is set for digital or priv ate. Digital or private voice transmission
resumes normally after the tone transmi ssion.
