Introduction P110 16-Channel 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 r adio 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 RS
mechanical specifications. The Motorola Accelerated Life
Test (ALT) assures that possible failures brought on b y field
stress and abuse are identified and designed out of your
radio before it reaches your hands.

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.

Operation P110 16-Channel Portable Radios
Operation
To Power-Up
Rotate the volume control 1/2 turn clockwise to turn on the radio. A power-up
alert tone is generated for approximately
1/8 second to indicate that the radio has
passed a self-test of the microcomputer.
NOTE
If the short power-up alert tone is not generated, or if a second low alert tone is generated
(indicating corrupted radio programming), turn
the radio off, check the battery (charge or
replace if necessary), and turn the radio back
on again. If the power-up alert tone is still not
generated, a fault exists in the radio. Contact
your local Motorola Radius dealer.
To Receive
1. Set the channel selector to the
desired channel position.
2. Listen for a transmission and adjust the volume control
to a comfortable listening level. If no transmission is
heard, depress and hold the volume control button to
unsquelch the radio and adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level.
3. The radio is now set to receiv e all calls on the selected
frequency.
4. If you wish to monitor a channel (disable PL/DPL) press
the side mounted control button. If programmed as a
Monitor Button, the LED glows yellow for 4 seconds to
confirm that the coded squelch is disabled. Any time
the PTT button is pressed when the P110 radio is in the
monitor mode (disable PL/DPL), the LED temporarily
glows yello w to remind you that this state is active. The
radio remains in the monitor mode until the control button is pressed again, to reverse the state.

P110 16-Channel Portable Radios Operation
5. If programmed as a Volume Set Button (manual moni-
tor), the radio has the ability to monitor until the button
is released. While pressed, a “rushing noise” will be
present which indicates the current level setting of the
volume control.
NOTE
All P110 radio models hav e an internal squelch
setting which is adjusted at the factory. The
squelch lev el setting is not a user-operated control; however, it may be reprogrammed using
the Radio Service Software available at your
local Motorola Radius dealer.
T o T ransmit
1. Set the channel selector to the desired channel position.
2. Do not interrupt another user. Listen for activity on your
channel. If the channel on which you are transmitting is
programmed to receive PL/DPL, momentarily depress
the control button to listen for channel activity. The
channel must be clear before transmitting.
3. While holding the radio in a vertical position with the
speaker-microphone grille two to three inches from
your mouth, press the PTT button on the side of the
radio and speak slowly and clearly into the grille area.
When finished transmitting, release the PTT button to
receive. When the PTT button is depressed, the LED
glows red and remains on for the entire length of the
transmission, and turns off when the PTT button is
released.
NOTE
When the PTT button is depressed (and as long
as the PTT button remains depressed), The
battery voltage is automatically monitored and if
the voltage is low, the LED flashes red to alert
you of the low battery condition. In addition, a
double alert tone is sounded when the PTT button is released.

Operation with Standard Features P110 16-Channel Portable Radios
Operation with Standard Features
To fit your particular needs, a number of features are a v ailable
to enhance the operation of your P110 radio. These capability
features are described for y ou in this section.
Time-Out Timer
The Time-Out Timer (T.O.T) feature alerts you if the transmitter is key ed for a long period. This feature prev ents channel tie-up and excess battery drain in case of an inadvertent
keying of the tr ansmitter. The r adio operates normally in the
receive mode with the T.O.T. feature. However, in the transmit mode, a single transmission (uninterrupted depression
of the PTT button) “times-out” after 30 or 60 seconds and
the radio reverts back to the receive mode, even with the
PTT button remaining depressed. After the 30 or 60 second
time out, a continuous alert tone is generated in the receive
mode until the PTT button is released.
Volume Set
When programmed as a Volume Set button, the Control
button will initiate the volume
set feature. This gives the
radio the ability to monitor the
current radio volume level
whenever this button is
pressed. A “rushing noise” is
present for the duration of the
button press that indicates the
current level setting of the volume control.

6880904Z68-O May, 1997
Page 18
P110 16-Channel Portable Radios Operation with Standard Features
Busy Channel Lockout
Busy Channel Lockout is a priv acy f eature that pre vents the
radio from listening to or transmitting over conversations
outside its talkgroup, keeping lines of communication clear.
Whenev er the radio is not allow ed to talk, you will hear b usy
tone if you attempt to transmit. The radio will be allowed to
transmit:
1. when the channel is clear
2. during the group's repeater hang time, until a carrier
drop is seen
3. when receiving transmissions from your own group
(Common PL/DPL code).
Whenev er a channel is prog r ammed for PL/DPL busy channel lockout, pressing the Control button does not put the
radio into the carrier squelch mode. This means that the
radios with PL/DPL busy channel lockout programmed cannot monitor or listen to the other groups' transmissions. Furthermore, the volume set function is also disabled on any
channel that is preprogrammed as a PL/DPL busy channel
lockout channel.
On carrier squelch channels, Transmit Inhibit is available to
prohibit transmissions when any carrier is present.

Operation with Standard Features P110 16-Channel Portable Radios
Voice Activated Transmission (VOX)
When hands-free operation is desired, the P110 radio can
be activated by voice alone using the VOX feature. The
radio has circuitry and software internal to the radio that
senses when you speak through an accessory headset and
will automatically transmit. You will know you are transmitting when you hear yourself in the headset speaker. Operation is totally automatic; no external controls are required.
To Activate the VOX Feature
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Insert a headset, without a PTT button, in the acces-
sory connector on a channel programmed for VOX
operation.
3. Turn the radio on. The VOX feature will be ready to
function. You can operate the radio manually, at any
time, by pressing the PTT button.
4. Restart the VOX feature by turning the radio off/on or
changing the channel.
NOTE
An external headset accessory must be attached
to the P110 radio to activate VO X oper ation. The
radio operates normally, using the PTT button,
whenev er the headset is not attached.

Programmable Feature Enhancements P110 16-Channel Portable Radios
Programmable Feature Enhancements
Channel Scan
This optional feature allows y ou to monitor a number of channels. The receiver chec ks each channel in a preprogrammed
list for activity (up to 15 channels on the 16 channel model).
Two types of channel scan are offered in the P110 r adio;
non-priority and priority scan. Both types of channel scan are
available with PL/DPL operation. To initiate the scan feature,
rotate the channel selector switch to the channel in which
scan is programmed. If a conversation is initiated on any of
the channels that the radio is scanning, the radio stops on
the active channel and you can listen to the conversation.
NOTE
The P110 scan list is not operator selectable;
however, it may be reprogrammed through the
Radio Service Software available at your local
Motorola Radius dealer.
• Non Priority Channel Scan
With this type of scan operation, no one scan channel has priority over another . The scanner stops on the first scan channel
with activity, and when the activity is over and a 3-second
"hang-time" has expired, proceeds to the ne xt scan channel.
• Priority Channel Scan
Any one of the radio's programmed channels may be designated as the priority channel. Whenev er activity occurs on
the priority channel, the scanner automatically stops there
and the priority alert tone is heard. Ev en if y ou are listening
to another channel in the scan list, the radio automatically
goes to the priority channel when there is activity.
• PL/DPL Channel Scan
Private-Line operation is offered with priority and nonpriority channel scan. With this mode of scanning operation, the scanner stops on only the scan channels coded
with the proper PL/DPL tone if PL/DPL signalling is active
when you initiate scan.
NOTE
If the monitor mode is not active when the scanning feature is initiated, the radio perf orms a PL
type of scan. If the monitor mode is activ e when
the scanning feature is initiated, the radio performs a CSQ type of scan.
20
6880904Z68-O May, 1997
Page 22
P110 16-Channel Portable Radios Programmable Feature Enhancements
• Talkback Scan
This is an option of the channel scan features listed on
page 20 that is used when the PTT button is pressed
when scanning has stopped on a channel. When transmit
or receive activity ceases on a scan channel, a "hang
time" of approximately 3 seconds occurs prior to the radio
resuming scan for other channel activity. This "hang time"
gives you time to receive or respond to a call before scanning resumes. The "hang-time" is programmable through
the Radio Service Software available at your local
Motorola Radius Dealer.
• Designated Channel Scan (Home Revert)
Pressing the PTT button while the radio is scanning
causes the radio to transmit on the preprogrammed designated channel location. This channel location is programmable through the Radio Service Software available at
your local Motorola Radius Dealer.
NOTE
If both Designated Channel Scan and Talkback
Scan are selected, the radio transmits on the active
channel. If how e v er , there are no activ e channels ,
the radio transmits on the Designated Channel.
• Scan Talkbac k Tone
The Scan Talkback Tone feature enables you to find the
last active channel received during scan mode. A beep is
emitted when the channel selector knob is rotated to the
last channel received during scan.
• Scan Nuisance Delete
When a conversation occurs and it is not your priority
channel or designated scan channel, you can temporarily
eliminate this channel from the
scan list by pressing the side
Control button (if the Control button is programmed for Scan Nuisance Delete). To add the deleted
channel back to the pre-programmed scan list, you must exit
and reenter the scan function.
The Volume Set feature is replaced whenever
the side control button is programmed to operate the Scan Nuisance Delete feature.

Page 23
Programmable Signalling Enhancements P110 16-Channel Portable Radios
Programmable Signalling
Enhancements
PTT ID (Encode)
When on a channel with the PTT ID
feature, the radio transmits an identification code (unit ID) to the base
station, indicating which portable is
in operation. This code is sent
whenever the PTT button is
depressed. A sidetone is heard as
the ID is being transmitted; when
the tone ends, start your voice message in the standard manner. The
LED glows red during the time that
the ID is sent out.
Call Alert (Decode)
Call Alert works similarly to tone-only pagers. When a Call
Alert (page) is received, a series of 4 beep decode tones
are heard while the LED flashes yellow. The LED continues
flashing yellow and the alert tone continues until the call
alert is acknowledged by the radio. If you transmit by pushing the PTT button or change the rotary channel selector
while a Call Alert signal is in progress, the LED stops flashing and the Call Alert tone is disabled.
Voice Selective Call (Decode)
This feature operates lik e a standard pager pro viding a onetime voice message. When a Voice Selective Call is
received by the radio, a one-time 2 beep decode tone is
heard while the LED flashes yellow. The radio unmutes and
the voice message is heard. The LED continues flashing
yellow while the voice message is heard. The Voice Selective Call f eature does not require any action to ackno wledge
the message and after the transmission is completed, the
radio returns to normal operation.
Signalling and Channel Scan
Signalling and channel scan are compatible in the P110
radio. However, during scan operation, a Voice Selective
Call on a particular channel could be missed since the radio
may not be chec king that channel when the Voice Selective
Call is being sent.
It is recommended that priority scan be selected and the signalling channel be designated the priority channel to improve
the likelihood that the Voice Selective Call is received.

P110 16-Channel Portable Radios Battery Information
Battery Information
The P110 radio receives its
power (7.5V DC) from a
rechargeable nickel-cadmium
battery as listed in the accessories section. These batteries,
designed specifically for use in
the P110 radio, are a safe,
dependable power source.
Proper care of the battery will
ensure its effectiveness and
allow for peak performance of
the radio.
Recharging NickelCadmium Batteries
Recharge the battery before use
to ensure optimum capacity and
performance. The battery was
designed to be used only with a
Motorola P110 charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment
may lead to battery damage and
void the battery warranty.
When charging a battery that is attached to a radio,
always turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
Charging T emperature
The battery should be about 77° (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a
cold battery (below 50°F) may result in leakage of electrolyte, and ultimately, in failure of
the battery. Charging a hot battery (about
95° F) results in reduced discharge capacity ,
affecting the perf ormance of the radio . P110
rapid rate battery chargers contain a temperature sensing circuit to ensure that
NOTE
May, 1997 6880904Z68-O
23
Page 25
Battery Information P110 16-Channel Portable Radios
the battery is charged within these temperature limits. If the
charger is not performing a rapid rate charge, the charger’s
LED flashes red to indicate that the battery is being
charged at a slow trickle rate. For additional information on
batteries and battery charging, refer to the battery charger
information in the service manual.
Short Circuit
Care should be taken to avoid external short-circuiting of
the battery.
CAUTION
A sustained high rate discharge (e.g., a paper
clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery,
void the battery warranty, and create a burn or
fire hazard.
Memory Effect (Reduced Charge Capacity)
The Memory Effect was a phenomenon which caused a
temporary loss in battery capacity or voltage due to repetitive shallow discharging or low term overcharging. This
Memory Effect has been virtually eliminated in Motorola
batteries with the use of the latest in cell technology from
our selected cell suppliers.
Nickel-Cadmium Battery Disposal
For disposition, Nickel-cadmium sealed rechargeable batteries should be delivered to an authorized metals reclamation dealer (refer to inside front cover of this manual).
DO NOT DISPOSE OF ANY BATTERIES IN A

4a. For Single-Unit Standard Rate Battery Chargers only:
When a standard-charge battery reaches full charge,
no change in the LED occurs (red glow remains). The
battery fully charges in 10 hours.
NOTE
You can turn the radio on while it is in the
charger and have it receive normally. However,
allow at least 25% more time for the battery to
reach full capacity. DO NO T TRANSMIT WHILE
THE RADIO IS IN THE CHARGER.
4b. For Single-Unit and Multi-Unit Rapid-Charge Battery
Chargers only: When charging a rapid-charge battery,
the LED glows green indicating CHARGE COMPLETE
when the battery reaches full charge. This LED also
indicates that the battery is now charging at a trickle
rate. A LED flashes red indicating that the battery may
be out of “rapid charge range”. The rapid charge automatically begins when the battery is within the correct
range. Typical charge times for Rapid-Charge Battery
Chargers are as follows:
60-90 Minutes for High Capacity Battery
NOTE
A new battery or one which has not been used
for se v eral months ma y cause a premature fully
charged indication. These batteries should be
trickle charged overnight before putting them
into service.
5. If the LED does not glow red when the battery is
inserted into the charger, check the battery and charger
contacts to be sure they are clean. There are no user
serviceable parts in the charger. If the charger fails to
operate, contact your local Motorola Radius dealer.
