Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cad) rechargeable battery. At the end of its useful life, the battery can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all
areas. Under various state or local laws, the battery must be
recycled or disposed of properly and cannot be disposed of in
landfills or incinerators.
In addition, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations classify used Ni-Cad batteries as hazardous waste, unless
certain exemptions apply.
Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of Ni-Cad
batteries. If you are located in the United States, you can ship
post paid your used Ni-Cad batteries to INMETCO, an EPA
approved recycling facility, at this address:
INMETCO
P.O. Box 720
245 Portersville Road
Ellwood City, PA 16117
Telephone: (412) 758-5515
Fax: (412) 758-9311
Consideration should be given to the methods of collecting,
labeling, and shipping used Ni-Cad batteries. Your federal, state
or locate EPA should be consulted for specific legal requirements and for recycling options in your area.
Motorola, as a responsible corporate citizen, has always been
concerned with the protection of the environment. Please feel

Introduction P110 Portable Radios
Introduction
Welcome To The Motorola Radius P110 Radio
The Radius P110 Portable Radio is a sophisticated stateof-the-art unit. It incorporates the latest technology available in two-way radio communications.
The use of microcomputer technology makes changing
radio characteristics such as operating frequencies and
squelch codes both economical and fast. Any computer
equipped Radius dealer can easily reprogram your radio's
operating characteristics, or your radio can be “cloned” from
a radio already programmed to your desired frequencies
and codes.
The P110 radio meets tough environmental demands while
providing cost effective and reliable communications. It
meets the U.S. Government Military Standards 810C, D
and E for low pressure, high temperature, low temperature,
temperature shock, solar radiation, rain, humidity, salt fog,
dust, vibration, and shock. The P110 radio also meets the
Electronic Industry Association RS316B electrical and
mechanical specifications. The Motorola Accelerated Life
Test (AL T) assures that possible failures brought on by field
stress and abuse are identified and designed out of your
radio before it reaches your hands.
All of these features provide for better, yet more cost effective communications for you.

Alert Tone Indicators P110 Portable Radios
Alert Tone Indicators
Power-Up
Each time the radio is turned on, a microcomputer and synthesizer self-test occurs. A high pitched alert tone is generated for approximately 1/8 second to indicate that the
microcomputer and synthesizer are functioning properly. A
second low pitched tone is generated if the start-up test is
not successful.
Transmit on Blank or ReceiveOnly Channels
Pressing the PTT button while
tuned to a blank or “receiveonly” channel causes an alert
tone. The tone continues as
long as the PTT button is
depressed. The radio transmitter is not enabled.
Transmit Inhibition Busy Channel with Busy Channel
Lockout
Pressing the PTT button during a “busy channel” condition
(other than your PL/DPL group) generates a continuous
busy tone that lasts as long as the button is depressed.
Time-Out Timer
The time-out timer limits the
amount of transmission time
to a preset length (off, 30 or
60 seconds). At the end of
this time an alert tone indicates that your transmission
has been cut off. The alert
will continue as long as the
PTT switch is depressed.

P110 Portable Radios Alert Tone Indicators
Low Battery Alert
If the battery is low on your radio, an audible alert tone
alerts you during transmit or receive mode. During transmit,
on the release of the PTT button, the radio emits 2 medium
pitched chirps. During receive/standby mode, the radio
emits 2 medium pitched chirps. These tones emit approximately every 20 minutes during transmit or receive mode
until the battery is completely drained of power.

Scan and Signalling Alert Tones
Transmit on Radios with PTT-ID
When the PTT button is depressed a side tone is heard as
the unit I.D. is being transmitted. When the tone ends, start
your voice message in the standard manner.
Selective Call
A 2 beep alert tone is generated whenever a Selective Call
is received, the radio unsquelches and the callers message
is heard.
Call Alert
A 4 beep alert tone is generated whenever a Call Alert
(page) is received. The alert tone repeats until the PTT or
monitor button is pressed.
Scan Activate
A 1 beep alert tone is heard whenever scan is initiated by
selecting a preprogrammed rotary scan channel location.
Priority Alert Tone
A 1 beep alert tone is heard if the radio is scanning and a
conversation is initiated on the priority scan channel.
Scan Talkback Tone
A medium pitched 1 beep alert tone is sounded when you
rotate the channel selector knob out of the scan position
after the radio has locked on a channel and reaches the last
active channel within the channel scan list.
