1 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

The M/A-COM P5100 portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.

The P5100 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect

to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

1.1 RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES

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

CAUTION

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may

also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use with this radio. (Refer to

• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more

than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.

• ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible (refer to Section

battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.

• ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc).

Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to

• ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) from the body and at least 5 cm

(2 inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances listed in 1-1

. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, hold the

antenna at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.

The ESD symbol calls attention to procedures, practices, or the like, which could expose equipment to the effects of Electro-Static Discharge. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent ESD when handling circuit modules.

WARNING - The electrical hazard symbol indicates there is an electrical hazard present.

3 OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna.

Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries.

3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION

Hold the portable radio approximately three inches from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message. Do not hold the antenna when the radio is powered on.

MM102708V1, Rev. F

Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!

3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement

Always keep the antenna at least 0.4 inches (1.1 cm) away from the body and 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.

Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations.

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. (Refer to Table 7-1: Options and Accessories.)

MM102708V1, Rev. F

3.1.2 Electronic Devices

RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment,

CAUTION

always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!

3.1.3 Aircraft

Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft!

• Use it on the ground only with crew permission.

• DO NOT use while in-flight!!

3.1.4 Electric Blasting Caps

To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the "Turn Off TwoWay Radios" signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926.900)

3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible, that a radio or its accessories could generate sparks.

4 MARITIME CHANNELS

As part of FCC Equipment Authorization Part 80 licensing, a maritime frequency usage plan has been included in this manual for reference.

The antenna connector (between antenna and radio) is a nominal 50Ω impedance.

MM102708V1, Rev. F

5 BATTERIES

The P7100 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of battery.

If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 1 5 minutes an d consult a physician immediately.

5.1 CONDITIONING NIMH BATTERY PACKS

Condition a new NiMH battery before putting it into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using a “battery analyzer/conditioner/charger.” M/A-COM recommends either the Cadex iTECH

five®

battery conditioners, purchased directly from M/A-COM. These units condition a battery

pack by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery.

C7400 or the Intelligent Technologies Co. BC3506QP-5

Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in shortened performance by the battery.

CAUTION

5.2 CONDITIONING NICD BATTERY PACKS

A new NiCD battery does not require conditioning before use. Periodically condition NiCD batteries to avoid the memory effect. If a NiCD battery is repeatedly charged and not fully discharged, the result is lower voltage and lower capacity. Fortunately, both voltage and capacity are restored through battery conditioning.

Always use M/A-COM authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty.

CAUTION

8.1 CONTROLS

The P5100 portable radios feature two rotary control knobs and an emergency button mounted on the top of the radio. The Push-To-Talk (PTT), option, and monitor buttons are mounted on the side. In addition, the P5150 Scan model portable radio has a front mounted keypad with six buttons (see

8.1.1 Buttons and Knobs

This section describes the primary function of the radio’s buttons and knobs. Other functions associated with these controls are detailed in later sections.

POWER ON-OFF VOLUME KNOB

Figure 8-3: Scan Model Front Panel Controls

Figure 8-3).

The Power ON/OFF-Volume knob is used to apply power to the radio and adjust the receiver’s volume. Rotating the control clockwise from the OFF position applies power to the radio. A single alert tone (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is operational.

Continuing to rotate the knob clockwise increases the volume level. Minimum volume levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low volume setting. While adjusting the volume, the display will momentarily indicate the volume level (i.e. VOL=31). The volume range is from a minimum programmed level of zero (displayed as VOL=OFF) up to 31, which is the loudest level.

MM102708V1, Rev. F

SYSTEM/GROUP/ CHANNELKNOB

EMERGENCY/ HOME BUTTON

PTT BUTTON

CLEAR/MONITOR BUTTON

The System/Group/Channel knob is used to select systems or group/channels (depending on programming). This is a 16-position rotary knob.

Note: A mechanical stop, which can limit the positions accessed, is shipped with the radio but must be installed. To install the mechanical stop, remove the channel knob, loosen the set screw on the channel knob metal base (using a 1.27mm hex wrench), and remove the channel knob metal base. Replace the 16 channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the desired channel. Reinstall the channel knob metal base, tighten the set screw, and reinstall the channel knob.

The Emergency/Home button automatically selects the pre-programmed “Home” Group/System by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. It can also be used to declare an emergency by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button must be pre-programmed for one of these operations, but not both.

The PTT button must be pressed before voice transmission begins. In trunked mode, the radio’s ID is transmitted upon depression of the PTT button. (Refer to

Figure 8-2).

In trunked mode: Pressing the Clear/Monitor button exits the current operation (clearing all displays associated with it) and returns the radio to the selected talk group. This button is also used to terminate individual and telephone interconnect calls.

In conventional mode: Pressing the Clear/Monitor button will unsquelch the receiver and allow channel monitoring prior to transmission. Also momentarily removes the Channel Guard decoding from the channel.

OPTION BUTTON

The Option button activates one of a number of programmable software options selected during PC programming. Programmable options include high/low power settings, keypad lock, LCD contrast, and keypad back lighting.

8.1.2 Scan Model Keypad

The keys on the P5150 Scan model radio keypad (Figure 8-4) have special functions and are labeled with symbols or word abbreviations representing its primary function. Each key is described in

9.12 DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION

Digital voice programmed systems have two (2) different voice modes: clear (analog) and digital. The voice modes are programmed on a per-group basis within each trunked system and on a per-channel basis within each conventional system.

9.12.1 Clear Mode

Personality Name

r - released, 01A - revision state Copyright

Clear mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and non-encrypted. Unauthorized persons can monitor clear mode transmissions easily.

Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive digital messages.

9.12.2 Digital Mode

Digital mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice signals. Digital signals provide improved weak signal performance and cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and channels programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Message trunked group calls and individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in the mode in which they were received assuming the call or hang time is still active. Individual phone and emergency calls are transmitted clear if the digital mode is disabled or inoperative.

1. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang

time on the working channel.

2. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time.

3. Scan Model only: When using the *WHC* feature to respond to an I-Call (after the hang time has

expired), the call is transmitted in the mode defined by the system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID being called is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmitted as defined by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID.

MM102708V1, Rev. F

The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode.

9.12.2.1 Scanned Group Calls

Receiving a Scanned Group Call is the same as receiving a selected group call. During the scan hang time, if the radio was programmed for autoselect, it will transmit back in the same mode it received the call. For example, if a clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. The user can select transmitting on the scanned or selected group. If a group is entered in the scan list more than once and in different modes (clear and digital), only the first occurrence of the group will be used.

11 TRUNKED OPERATION

In addition to the features covered in Section 9 - BASIC OPERATION, the following functions are applicable to P25 Trunked and EDACS operation. The radio functions in the P25 Trunked or EDACS mode when using trunked communications systems.

11.1 SCANNING TRUNKED GROUPS

A P5130 Select model radio can be programmed (using ProGrammer) to utilize the scan function by assigning that function to one of the option buttons on the side of the radio. If so, a fixed scan list of groups must also be established and programmed into the radio. Scanning these groups would then be turned on and off through the press of the option button. In addition, a group can be deleted from the scan list only through programming.

Groups that have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis can be scanned. Each system's group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is powered OFF or when the battery pack is removed.

The following procedures outline scan operations for trunked groups.

11.1.1 Turning Scan On and Off

The following procedure applies to the P5150 Scan model radio.

1. Toggle Scan operation ON by pressing the

• If the radio scans to a group other than the selected group then receives a call on the selected

group, the radio will switch to the selected group. However, if the “scanned-to” group is programmed at a higher priority the radio will remain on the “scanned-to” group.

• The radio will continue scanning if a new group is selected when scan is ON.

Pressing the PTT button when scan is ON causes the radio to transmit on the displayed group or on the currently selected group (depending on programming).

11.1.3.1 Nuisance Delete (Scan Model Only)

A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing the  key during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered OFF and then powered ON.

11.2 SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS

The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled during radio operation. This is covered in the Menu Selection and Pre-Programmed Keypad Key sections. The System Scan state will be maintained through system changes but will default to ON when the radio is powered ON.

MM102708V1, Rev. F

11.2.1 Wide Area System Scanning

The P5100 series radios can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across mobile systems. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.

11.2.2 Priority System Scan

The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control (unless the ProScan is enabled, as explained in the following sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or meets the predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system.

11.2.2.1 Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function

If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins to wide area system scan, the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area scan list.

™

algorithm

11.2.2.2 When ProScan is Enabled

The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the criteria defined by the controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan Options dialog box.

11.2.3 ProScan

The radio can be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is a multi-site system scanning algorithm. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a new system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops below a predefined level. This is accomplished by enabling each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compares it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list. (The signal quality metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) and Control Channel Verification (CCV) measurements.) When the selected system degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone (if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, the radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found.

11.2.4 Menu Selection (Scan Model Only)

Press  and then use the  or  buttons to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press  to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message

is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

11.2.5 Pre-Programmed Keypad Key (Scan Model Only)

Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

11.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION

The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency system and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency has been cleared.

11.3.1 Receiving an Emergency Call

When receiving an emergency call on the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and is displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is cleared.

 key and then the  key

11.6.2 Message Operation

Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the previous section.

11.6.3 Dynamic Regroup Operation

Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.

Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITOR button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate

REGRP_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled

by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups.

11.6.4 Emergency Operation

If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic group.

11.6.5 Macro Key Operation

Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro" keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input

(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION button, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed or when released.

A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the keystroke sequence the next time the macro key is activated.

For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or administrator.

11.7 PORTABLE DATA

The P5100 series portable radios, when operating in the P25 Trunked or EDACS configuration, permit either voice or data calls to be transmitted or received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, selection of either data or voice is performed transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio. Data communications is not supported in the conventional mode.

The radios can be connected to Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232 compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio. Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or received).
