INTRODUCTION
Your PM400™ radio can operate on both LTR®
trunked and conventional radio systems. This
radio combines the very latest in two-way
technology while delivering outstanding
functionality at the touch of a button.
CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional typically refers to radio-to-radio
communications through a single channel.
Conventional systems also allow radio users to
extend communication coverage by relaying
their messages through a repeater. To ensure
coordinated use by multiple users, each radio
user must monitor the channel or repeater
before transmitting to verify that the system is
not currently busy.
TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS
A trunked radio system allows a large number
of users to share a relatively small number of
frequencies or repeaters without interfering
with each other. The airtime of all the repeaters
in a trunked system is pooled, which
maximizes the amount of airtime available to
any one radio and minimizes channel/
talkgroup congestion.
Some of the benefits of trunked two-way radio
systems are:
• No channel/talkgroup monitoring required prior
to transmission
• Improved system access
• Automatic channel/talkgroup selection
• Increased privacy among members of the same
group
LTR Trunked Systems
LTR (Logic Trunked Radio) is a transmissionbased trunking protocol developed by the E. F.
Johnson Company for primarily single-site
trunking applications. In transmission trunking,
a repeater is used for only the duration of a
single transmission. Once a transmission is
completed, that repeater becomes available to
other users. This means that a conversation
comprised of many transmissions may occur
over several different channels/talkgroups
within the LTR system. This method of trunking
provides system efficiency by making
repeaters available to all users after every
transmission.
When an LTR trunked radio user wants to
communicate with another radio, the user’s
7
INTRODUCTION
English
INTRODUCTION
radio sends a “channel/talkgroup request” to
the home repeater. The system then sends
back a “channel/talkgroup grant” to the user’s
radio. The channel/talkgroup grant message
contains the number of a “go to” repeater to tell
the radio which repeater to use. This “go to”
repeater can be the same as the radio’s home
repeater or another repeater in the system.
The radio uses the “go to” repeater for
transmission. Once the transmission has
ended, this repeater is available for other
users.

PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS
Your radio has four programmable buttons.
Your dealer/programmer can program these
buttons as shortcuts to various radio features.
Check with your dealer/programmer for a
complete list of functions your radio supports.
Programmable buttons include:
• The four front buttons (
C, D, E, and
F).
• The three buttons (A, B, and C) of the
optional DTMF microphone.
Some buttons can access up to two features,
depending on the type of button press:
• Short Press — quickly pressing and
releasing the programmable buttons,
• Long Press — pressing and holding the
programmable buttons for a
preprogrammed period of time,
or
• Hold Down — pressing and holding down
the programmable buttons while checking
status or making adjustments.
The table on page 17 summarizes the
programmable features available and shows
the page number where the feature is
explained.
In the “Button” column, have your dealer/
programmer record the name of the
programmable button next to the feature that
has been programmed to it.
The dealer/programmer can use the
abbreviations (P1, P2, P3, or P4) shown in the
radio illustration on page 11.
Also, where appropriate, have your dealer/
programmer indicate whether the button press
requires a short press, a long press, or needs
to be held down.

SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature,
which allows you to search for, lock onto, and
monitor voice activity on channels/talkgroups.
Scan lists are assigned per channel/talkgroup,
by your dealer/programmer. Your radio
automatically switches to a channel/talkgroup,
within that scan list, when it detects activity.
You can also edit these lists through your
radio’s menu (see page 36).
• The green LED indicator blinks during scan
mode; it stops blinking when the radio
switches to an active channel/talkgroup.
•The Gsymbol appears on the display
while in scan mode.
• Your dealer/programmer can preprogram
your radio where if the microphone is taken
off-hook while in Scan mode, the scanning
activity becomes suspended until the
microphone is replaced.
There are two ways that your radio scans:
• System Scan (manual)
• Auto Scan (automatic)
TALKBACK
The Talkback feature allows you to respond to
a transmission while scanning. If transmission
is detected on a channel/talkgroup while
scanning, the radio will stop and land on that
channel/talkgroup for a preprogrammed period
of time after activity has ceased. This is
referred to as “hangtime”. During this hangtime
you may respond by pressing the PTT button.
Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking
while the radio is in hangtime. If the PTT
button is not pressed during the preprogrammed hangtime, the radio reverts
back to scan.
