MM-014716-001, Rev. G 8 1 SAFETY SYMBOL CONVENTION The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. Harris Corporation assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these standards. WARNING The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully understood or met. CAUTION The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in a risk of danger, damage to the equipment, or severely degrade the equipment performance. NOTE The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve system performance or clarify a process or procedure. 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.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 9 2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE INFORMATION 2.1 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS, CONTROL INFORMATION, AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS Before using your mobile two-way radio, read this important RF energy awareness and control information and operational instructions to ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines. NOTE This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. CAUTION Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris Corporation 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 electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but 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 biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. 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 established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your 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 2.2 FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION REGULATIONS Your Harris Corporation M7300 mobile two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for mobile two-way radios before it can be marketed in the United States. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Harris Corporation M7300 two-way radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, your M7300 Installation and Operator’s Manuals include information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 10 2.3 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS Your Harris Corporation M7300 mobile two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) 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 factors of up to 50% talk-50% listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, your radio antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. Your Harris Corporation M7300 mobile two-way 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 2, 2005: “Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio Standards Specification. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands). CAUTION Table 2-1 lists the recommended minimum lateral distance for a controlled environment and for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from transmitting types of antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at rated radio power for mobile radios installed in a vehicle.

MM-014716-001, Rev. G 16 3 OPERATION SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS 3.1 TRANSMITTER HAZARDS WARNING The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given: • Explosive Atmospheres – Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, similar hazards exist when operating a mobile radio. Be sure to turn the radio off while fueling a vehicle. Do not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of a vehicle if the radio is mounted in the trunk. Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn off your radio 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 Electronics Systems – Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical electronic systems that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer and enlist their aid in determining the expected performance of electronic circuits when the radio is transmitting. • 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 Two-Way Radios” signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926-900) • Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles – Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58 requiring:  The LP gas container and its fittings.  Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container.  The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle. 3.2 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS (Recommended by AAA) • 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.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 17 4 OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local, regional, or national government. In the United States, the M7300 mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to your particular type of radio operation. Following these rules helps eliminate confusion, assures the most efficient use of the existing radio channels, and results in a smoothly functioning radio network. When using your two-way radio, remember these rules: • It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. As your radio operates in much the same way as a telephone “party line,” always listen to make sure that 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 – KEEP OFF THE AIR! • The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law. • It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency messages. The FCC requires that you keep conversations brief and confine them to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible. • Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. You may send only those messages that are essential for the operation of your business. • It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything you overhear on your radio. Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as confidential. • The FCC requires that you identify yourself at certain specific times by means of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your 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. NOTE Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of the United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to two (2) years, or both. 4.1 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, some improvement can be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 18 5 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The M7300 mobile is a state-of-the-art radio designed to meet the critical demands of its users. The M7300 mobile supports multiple operating modes, including OpenSky® digital trunked operation (700/800 MHz radios only), Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS®) or ProVoiceTM trunked modes, P25 digital trunked mode, P25 digital conventional mode, and analog conventional mode. The optional Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver module can provide standard GPS formatted data over the air for vehicle tracking systems. Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the optional Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are available for maximum communications security. The M7300 radio uses the CH-721 Control Head which is available in two models: System and Scan. The display is designed to maximize readability and ease of use. The CH-721 utilizes a 3-line 12-character alphanumeric display with large buttons, volume knob, and channel knob, providing a user-friendly interface. The CH721 control head can be mounted with the radio (Front Mount) or it can be mounted and operated remotely. For remote mount installations configured with a CH721 control head, all normal radio operations and interfaces can be handled via the control head connected to the radio unit via a 3-wire Controller Area Network (CAN) cable. Two control heads may be attached to a radio. Each control head provides a serial access point for data and any one (only one at a time) can be connected to a data device such as a personal computer. Where multiple control heads are connected or where a dash-mount radio is installed with an additional remote control head, the following features are available from each position: • Outgoing voice calls can be initiated. Either control head can initiate a call but only one can talk at a time. The other connected control head hears both sides of the conversation. • Incoming and outgoing audio can be heard. (Outgoing audio is not broadcast at the source position.) • Independent audio control is available. • Radio settings such as talk group, scan mode etc., can be controlled. (Any connected control head can override the radio settings of another connected control head.) • Comfort settings, such as volume and display brightness that are applicable to the individual control head can be adjusted and cannot be overridden by another control head. • An optional intercom function is available between control units. Audio is broadcast to ALL connected control heads.

MM-014716-001, Rev. G 20 7 OPENSKY OPERATION (700/800 MHZ RADIOS ONLY) 7.1 CH721 FRONT PANEL COMPONENTS The front panel of the control head includes a dot matrix display, controls for menu navigation, an emergency button, three pre-set buttons, a Power On-Off/Volume Control knob, and a microphone connector. In addition, the system model control head features a DTMF keypad (Figure 7-1). Figure 7-1: System Model Figure 7-2: Scan Model The buttons on the front panel are backlit for operation in a low ambient light level such as nighttime operation. Some buttons also flash to provide feedback of various operating conditions. The front panel contains a light-level sensor that samples ambient light levels for automatic display and button backlight brightness adjustments. In other words, it automatically brightens the display and backlights when higher external light levels exist and it automatically dims the display and backlights during lower external light levels.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 21 NOTE Button function may vary depending upon radio programming. Table 7-1 describes the default configuration.

Pre-Set Buttons A, B, & C These buttons are used to store and recall user-selectable parameters such as scan mode, selected profile, selected talk group, and priority talk group. Different parameters can be stored at each of the three different pre-set buttons. Preset button C can be configured via programming to reboot the radio into a particular application mode. Contact your system administrator to determine if this feature is enabled in your radio.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 22 PART FUNCTION SCAN Toggles the Scan Mode ON/OFF. • If the Scan Mode is Normal and the Scan Mode is toggled Off, when the Scan Mode is toggled On the Scan Mode is set to Normal. • If the Scan Mode is Fixed and the Scan Mode is toggled Off when the Scan Mode is toggled On the Scan Mode is set to Fixed . • If the Scan Mode is Off when the radio boots up when the Scan Mode is toggled On the Scan Mode is set to Normal. 7.2 POWER UP AND VOLUME CONTROL 7.2.1 1. Rotate the Power On-Off/Volume Control knob clockwise to power on the radio. The display illuminates when the radio powers up. Power Up 2. Wait for the power-up sequence to complete, which takes approximately ten (10) seconds. During this time, if enabled for auto registration, the radio is provisioned with a customized user personality designed for the user’s specific needs by the OpenSky network administrator. If this personality contains encrypted talk groups or if the user is authorized for, and intends to use, manual encryption, User Login must be performed. This requires a system model control head so that the User ID and password can be entered. 3. When provisioning is complete, the radio displays the Dwell Display. If User Login is required, the bottom line of the Dwell Display flashes the message “Pls Login.” 7.2.2 Turn the Power On-Off/Volume Control knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise to decrease the volume. The radio sounds a tone to indicate the current volume level. Volume Control 7.3 SELF-TEST After power-up, the M7300 radio undergoes a multi-function automatic registration procedure. As many as sixteen (16) possible radio profiles are downloaded to the radio from the network in response to the User’s ID. 7.4 LOGIN TO THE NETWORK Login occurs either automatically (auto registration) if the radio has a valid registration or, if enabled and authorized for encryption (Section 7.32), requires the user to enter a User ID and password. If encryption is enabled and authorized on the radio, the user is prompted to “Pls Login” with the *1 login command, a User ID, and password [System Model Control Head required]. 1. Press *1 (Login command). 2. Enter the full 10-digit User ID. 3. Press the # key.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 23 4. Enter the password. • If the radio is configured for alpha-numeric passwords and the password has consecutive duplicate numbers (“MES33” for example), enter # between the consecutive duplicate numbers so the radio does not• If the radio is configured for numeric-only passwords, do not enter # between duplicated numbers. interpret the entry as a letter (“D” in this example). 5. Press the # key twice. The User ID may be remembered from the previous login. (Refer to Section 7.5 for further details regarding log off commands.) The password is established before the radio is put into operation. Contact the local OpenSky network administrator for more information. NOTE If necessary, contact radio system administration personnel for login assistance and/or radio-specific login instructions. 7.5 LOG OFF THE NETWORK The *0## command de-registers the radio. Typically, this is automatically performed when powering down the radio. Using this method, the User ID is remembered by the radio so only the password is needed at next login. Manually log off by pressing *0## (requires System Model). 7.6 TURN THE RADIO OFF To turn the radio off, rotate the Power On-Off/Volume Control knob counter-clockwise. In multiple control head installations, turning off the last powered-up control head also automatically turns off the radio. If enabled via programming, several user-selected radio settings (i.e., scan mode, pre-set buttons, and side tone levels) are maintained for the next operational session. At the next radio power-up, maintained settings automatically restore, along with the network personality settings. In multiple control head installations, settings are maintained for each control head position. NOTE If power is abruptly disconnected from the radio prior to executing the correct turn-off procedure, user-selected radio settings and last-tuned channel information are lost. This can extend the time required for the radio to register with the network upon the subsequent power-up. 7.7 MENU DISPLAY AND CONTROL AREA Following power-up, the radio display shows the default talk group (Figure 7-3). , OPT/OPTION, or CLR/CLEAR changes the display to the next available menu. In many cases, the dwell display automatically re-appears after no menu buttons are pressed for a short period of time (between 10 and 30 seconds). For some menus such as the GPS and User ID menus, this does not occur unless the menu up/down buttons are pressed. When the dwell display is active, it changes to reflect the current profile, received talk group/caller ID (when available), or channel. The second line of dwell menu changes when the user presses the MENU button.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 24 The radio’s display is highly interactive.

It is the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator to provide the user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary talk groups or individuals. Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio. This process is called “provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at radio power-up and at user log-in. Each personality can contain up to sixteen (16) profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups. 7.11.1 As stated above, each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. A profile also defines the radio’s emergency behavior. All transmissions are made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of the dwell display). The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk groups within the profile. Profiles

There can be any number of authorized users assigned to a talk group. Talk groups are established and organized by the OpenSky network administrator. An OpenSky talk group is similar to a channel within a conventional FM radio system. Talk Groups
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 28 7.12 ALERT TONES The M7300 radio also provides audible Alert Tones or “beeps” to indicate the various operating conditions (see Table 7-3). Table 7-3: M7300 OpenSky Mode Alert Tones NAME TONE DESCRIPTION Call Queued 1 low tone/2 high tones Call queued for processing. Call Denied 3 short beeps Radio is out of coverage area or requested talk group is active. Grant (or Go-Ahead) 1 short beep Sounds when resources become available for a call request placed in the queue (if enabled) upon channel access. If the radio roams to another site while transmitting, then it auto rekeys and begins transmitting on that tower. It gives a second grant tone to let the user know they have roamed. Priority Bump 1 short tone Stopped current incoming call in favor of higher-priority incoming call. Call Removed 1 long low-pitched tone Notifies the user access to the channel has been lost (out of coverage area or pre-empted by higher-priority call). Selective Alert Received 1 short tone, 2 short beeps, 1 short tone Only played once to indicate a selective alert has been received. Emergency Tone 3 long tones Sounds when an emergency is declared. Emergency Cleared 1 long low-pitched tone Sounds when an emergency is cleared. Volume 1 short tone Reflects current volume level. Selective Call Ring A ringing tone similar to a telephone Ringing is repeated every four seconds until the call is accepted or rejected by the radio being called or until the network drops the call if unanswered after one minute. PSTN Ring 1 medium-pitch repeating tone Two ring tone - one generated by the radio when there is an incoming telephone call or an outgoing telephone call attempt is waiting for the telephone interconnect gateway equipment to dial the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The second ring tone sounds when the gateway equipment has dialed the number. Roam 2 short tones, 1 high-pitched and 1 low-pitched Sounds when the radio transitions from one radio base station site to another. Out of Range Tri-tone beep If enabled via programming, sounds when the radio is not within operational range with base station.

MM-014716-001, Rev. G 31 NOTE Menus vary depending upon system programming, radio hardware, and optional configurations. 7.14 DUAL-TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) is the system used by touch-tone telephones. DTMF assigns a specific tone frequency to each key so a microprocessor can easily identify its activation. The radio supports DTMF with a system model control head (Figure 7-1). This allows for specific tasks such as entering a user ID and password, or Selective Calling. When a key on the DTMF keypad is pressed, the DTMF tone is played through the radio’s speaker. 7.15 KEYPAD 7.15.1 To perform a command from the keypad, press the * key followed by one of the pre-set function keys as follows: Keypad Commands (System Model Control Head) Table 7-5: Keypad Function Commands KEYPAD COMMAND FUNCTION *0 Log off command: *0## (logs the user off the system).

Press the MENU button. 2. While the MENU button is pressed, within one second press the OPTION button. 3. A brief message is displayed on the 2nd line of the display (Kypd Lck, Kypd Unlck). 7.15.4 Password entry requires a system model control head. Password characters are encrypted on the display using symbols to indicate the entry. The encryption symbols for each entry appears in the display as they are scrolled through, for example: '-' and '+'. Press the # key twice to complete the entry process. Password Entry NOTE If the password is wrong, the radio does not successfully register with the network for wide area voice reception. The radio can still be used in single-site mode. 7.15.5 Using the keypad on a System Model, the radio can transmit DTMF tones corresponding to numbers/characters 0 — 9, * and # on the keypad. To overdial numbers/characters, transmit by pressing and holding the PTT button and then, press the corresponding keys (one at a time) on the keypad. DTMF Overdial
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 33 7.16 CHANGE THE ACTIVE PROFILE The radio can store up to sixteen (16) standard profiles, one of which is the currently active profile. To change the currently active profile: 1. Scroll through the menu until “ProfileMenu” is displayed. 2. Use to scroll through the list of available profiles. 3. Profile becomes active when selected for longer than two (2) seconds, when the MENU is pressed, or when the menu is changed. 7.17 ENABLE/DISABLE VOLUME SIDE TONE The Volume Side Tone sounds when adjusting the volume control. To enable or disable this tone, 1. Power off the radio. 2. Press and hold the B button while turning the radio on. 7.18 CHECK OR CHANGE THE SELECTED TALK GROUP Each profile stored in the radio can have up to sixteen (16) talk groups. One talk group within the currently active profile is set as the “selected talk group.” For the radio user, the selected talk group is typically the focus of most voice transmissions and receptions. There are two ways to change the selected talk group: First Method: 1. Scroll through the menu until “TalkGrpMenu” appears on the bottom line of the display. The currently selected talk group appears in the top line of the display. 2. Use to scroll through the available list of talk groups in the active profile. This list is determined by the OpenSky network administrator. Second Method: From the dwell display, use the talk group selection knob or to scroll through the available list of talk groups in the active profile. 7.19 ADJUST DISPLAY AND BUTTON BACKLIGHT BRIGHTNESS The radio uses a light sensor on the front panel to automatically adjust display brightness and button backlight brightness to ambient light conditions. The display and backlights automatically brighten at higher external light levels and automatically dim at lower external light levels. However, the “Bright Menu” gives the user some manual brightness control as follows: 1. Scroll through the menu until “Bright Menu” appears. 2. Use to increase or decrease brightness. Display and button backlight brightness immediately dims or brightens. Or If enabled via programming, the control increases/decreases brightness.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 34 7.20 STEALTH MODE For some users, it is important to be able to turn off the radio’s display lights, button backlighting, volume and side tones, but not the radio traffic. For example, in covert operations, lights and sounds could inadvertently expose an otherwise unobservable radio user. For this purpose, the radio has a Stealth feature that disables the radio display light, indicator light, and audible side tones. When Stealth Mode is on, the radio continues to scan the programmed list of talk groups and the user can key-up on the selected talk group. All buttons are disabled except for PTT, Emergency, 2# and MENU. Since the screen is blank the user cannot see the result of other button presses. 7.20.1 1. Scroll through the menu until “StealthMenu” appears. Enable Stealth Mode 2. To immediately turn Stealth Mode on, press (+) or (-) with . Or Press quick button command 2# on the System Model control head. 7.20.2 To turn Stealth Mode off, press quick button command 2# or the MENU button on the radio’s front panel. Disable Stealth Mode 7.21 ADJUST SIDE TONE AUDIO LEVEL The radio sounds confirming tones called “side tones” when its buttons are pressed. Most users find this audible confirmation helpful when navigating the menus. Side tone audio level can be adjusted or turned completely off using the “Side Menu.” For covert operations, it may be necessary to turn off side tones. For safety’s sake, turning off the radio during covert operations is not recommended. To temporarily disable the side tones that could expose the user’s presence and position, use the menu buttons to access the “Side Menu” and select “Off” from the menu choices. If the radio is operating properly but side tones are not heard when the menu buttons are pressed, the side tones are probably turned off. To turn them back on, access the “Side Tone” menu and select a setting other than “off.” Use the following procedure to set side tone level: 1. Scroll through the menu until the “Side Menu” appears in the bottom line of the display. 2. Use to change to the desired level (Off, Low, Medium, and High). To turn side tones completely off, use the “Off” setting.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 35 7.22 CHANGE OPERATING MODE 1. Scroll through the menu until “App Mode” appears in the bottom line of the display. 2. Use to choose an available mode. Press MENU and confirm (Y/N) with and press MENU again. Or Preset button C can be configured via programming to reboot the radio into a particular application mode. Or Quick Button command 1# transitions the radio to ECP mode. If ECP mode is not loaded in the radio, the radio displays “No App.” 7.23 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT VOICE CALLS As soon as the radio completes the startup/login/provision/self-test sequence and registers on the OpenSky network, voice calls from talk groups in the active profile are audible. 7.23.1 NOTEReceive a Voice Call The Alias/User ID/Talk Group name are only displayed if that dwell display option is selected using the MENU button. For example if the user sets the dwell display option to profile, the profile continues to be displayed when a call is received. No action is required to receive a voice call. The display responds to incoming voice calls as follows: • When the dwell display is set to received talk group, the scan mode is Normal or Fixed, : a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk group, then the alias (if available) or user ID of the incoming caller is displayed. b. If the received talk group does not match the selected talk group, then the received talk group name is displayed • When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the Scan Mode is None, the radio only receives voice on its selected talk group. When the call is received, the alias (if available) or the user ID of the incoming caller is displayed. • When the dwell display is not set to received talk group, then there is no display indication of an incoming call. NOTE A radio receiving a System All Call displays “All Call” instead of the alias. A radio not transmitting on a talk group in emergency status drops all other calls to scan into an All Call. Refer to Section 7.27 for detailed information on talk group scanning. Refer to Section 7.32 for detailed information regarding sending and receiving encrypted calls. 7.23.2 Transmit a voice call as follows: Transmit a Voice Call 1. Turn the radio on.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 36 2. If required, login to the network using a user ID and password (see Section 7.4). 3. Select the desired talk group for transmitting on. 4. Press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the hand-held microphone, pause for a moment, and then speak normally. For maximum clarity, hold the microphone approximately 1 ½ inches from the mouth and do not5. Release the PTT button when finished speaking. shout or whisper into it. If the call is queued by the network, wait for the grant tone to sound before speaking. Refer to Section 7.32 for detailed information regarding sending and receiving encrypted calls. 7.24 ADJUST AUDIO TREBLE LEVEL The tone of received signals can be adjusted using the radio’s “Treble Menu” as follows: 1. Scroll through the menu until “Treble Menu” appears. The radio’s current treble level setting indicates in the top line of the display. There are four levels available: low, medium, medium-high, and high. 2. Use to increase or decrease. 3. Press the MENU button or wait a few seconds to return to the Dwell Display. 7.25 INTERCOM MODE The optional intercom mode gives users at multiple control heads connected to the same radio the ability to communicate with each other without transmitting over-the-air. Turn intercom mode on and off using the “INTERCOM” menu as follows: 1. Scroll through the available menu items until “INTERCOM” appears in the display. 2. Use to toggle between “On” and “Off.” • Incoming voice calls override intercom communications for the duration of the voice call. The radio and associated control heads remain in intercom mode and intercom communications resume when the voice call ends. When intercom mode is turned on: • “TG: INTERCOM” appears in the control head’s display when talking on the intercom. This indicates microphone audio is not sent out on the selected talk group; rather, it remains localized between the radio control positions (i.e., the control heads connected to the mobile radio). • If a call exists on the currently selected talk group when a PTT button is pressed at one of the control heads, “TG: in use” appears in the display to indicate intercom mic audio cannot preempt the call on the talk group. CAUTION A user at a radio with only one control head/front panel can turn intercom mode on. In this case, pressing the microphone’s PTT button does NOT send microphone audio anywhere.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 37 7.26 TALK GROUP LOCK OUT There are two ways of focusing voice communications by suppressing calls from talk groups in the currently active profile: 1. No Scan. By turning scan off (selecting “No Scan” via the “ScnModeMenu”), only the selected talk group is audible. 2. Lock Out. By locking out selected talk groups, the “chatter” of the locked out talk groups cannot be heard. This focuses the user’s scanning resources to calls only on desired talk groups. Talk group lock out is a scan-related feature. With lock out, one or more talk groups in the active profile can be temporarily disabled from being scanned. Calls are not received on locked-out talk groups. Lock out settings are not retained between profile changes or when the radio is power cycled. NOTE Lock out is a listening (receive) function and only blocks received calls on locked out talk groups. Lock out does not affect transmit capability. The above methods do not apply to recent emergency lock outs. Only talk groups in the active profile can be locked out, since they are the only talk groups whose voice calls can be heard on the radio. NOTE P1 and P2 talk groups cannot be locked out. The default emergency and emergency-capable talk groups can be locked out if they are NOT in an emergency state. If a talk group is locked out and is subsequently changed to the currently selected talk group, it is automatically unlocked by the radio so the user can hear calls on the talk group. The radio may be configured so all talk groups are automatically locked out by default. In this case, they must be manually unlocked, if desired. 7.26.1 1. Scroll through the menu until “LockOutMenu” appears in the bottom line of the display. The name of a talk group in the currently active profile appears in the top line. Lock Out a Talk Group 2. Use to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the desired talk group for lock out appears in the top line of the display. 3. Press the MENU button to lockout the displayed talk group. A less than symbol (<) appears next to the talk group’s name. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, as needed, to lockout additional talk groups. The dwell display re-appears a few seconds after button presses end. While scrolling through talk groups in the active profile, the only talk groups that appear in the “LockOutMenu” are those in the active profile. 7.26.2 1. Scroll through the menu until “LockOutMenu” appears in the bottom line of the display. The name of a talk group in the currently active profile appears in the top line. Unlock a Talk Group
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 38 2. Use to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the talk group desired for unlocking appears in the top line of the display. A less-than symbol (“<”) appears next to the name of a talk group that is currently locked out. 3. Press the MENU button to unlock the talk group. The less-than symbol (“<”) next to the name of the talk group disappears. The dwell display appears as soon as the radio acknowledges the selection. NOTE • Changing the active profile removes any lockouts you have made. • Turning off the radio removes any lockouts you have made. 7.27 SCANNING Three scanning modes are available for the radio, but only one can be active at any time. Changing the scanning mode changes the way the radio scans voice calls for all of profiles in the radio personality, no matter which profile is or becomes active. As described in Table 7-7, the choice of scanning mode changes the span of communications with all the talk groups in the radio’s profiles, but does not affect interaction with the talk groups. Table 7-7: Scan Modes SCAN MODE EXPLANATION No Scan Eliminates distractions. Full communications (transmit and receive) on selected talk group. No calls received from other talk groups. Normal (Default) The user can scan all talk groups in the active profile that are not locked out as long as there is demand on the site. Priority (P1 and P2) groups are user selectable. Receive calls from more than one talk group, if available from the current site. Allows dragging of the selected talk group, P1, P2, and default emergency talk groups to the site on which the radio is registered. (If other calls are available at the site, they also can be heard but they are not be actively dragged.) The default emergency talk group, as well as any emergency-enabled talk groups, is only dragged if it is in emergency mode. Fixed Functions the same as Normal Scan Mode, except the priority groups are fixed to the selected profile’s pre-defined P1 and P2 groups (configured via the UAS). In this mode, P1 and P2 groups CANNOT be locked out. 7.27.1 The currently active scan mode does not appear in the dwell display. To check it, access “ScnModeMenu” and observe it in the top line of the display. To change the active scan mode: Check or Change Active Scan Mode 1. Scroll through the menu until “ScnModeMenu” appears in the display. 2. Use to scroll through the scan options until the desired mode appears. See Table 7-7. Or
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 39 Use the quick button option 3#. 7.27.2 The following lists the scanning priority order (from highest to lowest): Scan Priority • System All Call • Selected talk group in emergency state • Default emergency group in emergency state • Selected talk group • Emergency capable group in emergency state • Priority 1 talk group • Priority 2 talk group • Other (non-priority) 7.27.3 Follow this procedure to set talk groups in the current profile as the Priority 1 or Priority 2 talk group: Change Priotiy1 and Priority2 Talk Groups 1. Scroll through the menu until “Priority1” or “Priority2” appears in the bottom line of the display (Priority1 group has higher priority than the Priority2 group. The talk group currently set as the priority talk group appears in the top line of the display. 2. Use to select a new priority talk group. 3. Press the MENU button to set the newly selected talk group as the priority talk group. 7.28 MAKE SELECTIVE CALLS Selective Calling is a feature that allows two radio units to obtain and utilize an independent voice path for a private call. Radios can be configured to both initiate and receive Selective Calls or to only receive Selective Calls. In the OpenSky system, a source radio can be configured to initiate Selective Calls through a pre-programmed list in memory. This method uses the “speed dial list” set up by the OpenSky network administrator and provisioned as part of the registration process. In addition, a properly equipped source radio can initiate a Selective Call to any radio in the system by entering the ten-digit voice user ID (which looks like a telephone number) of the target device. Entering a Selective Call number without using the speed dial feature requires a system model control head (Figure 7-1). See Section 7.14 for more detail. NOTE Selective Calls are terminated if an emergency is declared. The network limits Selective Calls to ten (10) minutes maximum. Table 7-8 lists and defines the messages that may be displayed by the radio during a Selective Call.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 40 Table 7-8: Status of Selective Call STATUS MESSAGE DEFINITION Busy Peer is involved in another selective/PSTN call.

The user specifies a destination radio’s User ID, selects one of the pre-programmed text messages, and then transmits it to the destination radio. The message delivery system adds time-of-day information and forwards the message to the destination (receiving) radio. The sending radio receives a brief message noting the status of the transmission. Refer to Table 7-9 for a list of possible status messages. The first few characters of a message are part of the message text entered when the message is programmed. This programming is performed by the system or network administration personnel. Messages successfully received by the destination radio are stored until deleted or until the radio is power cycled. 7.29.1 The destination radio’s User ID can be selected via the menu or via the keypad on the system model control head.

Press up or down using Receive an Interconnect Call or any number key to accept an incoming Interconnect Call. Press the microphone’s PTT button when speaking (transmitting) to the caller. Press the # button or (-) using to reject an incoming Interconnect Call. 7.31 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS The M7300 mobile radio can transmit both emergency voice calls and emergency alerts over the entire network. OpenSky handles emergency calls and alerts with the highest priority. For critical voice communications, an emergency call can be raised on the default talk group or the currently selected talk group by “declaring” an emergency on the talk group. The exact talk group is determined by the currently active profile. After successfully declaring an emergency on a talk group, the
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 44 declaring radio’s microphone remains “hot” for a predetermined amount of time. In other words, the radio transmits audio for a period of time even when the microphone’s PTT button is not pressed. An emergency talk group is provided greater priority and infinite hang-time by the radio system’s infrastructure. Hang-time is the maximum duration of quiet time between transmissions on the talk group before the infrastructure assets are automatically taken away. Because an emergency call is handled on a talk group, it is received by all radios and consoles monitoring the talk group. An emergency alert is a data message sent by the radio to the MIS console (or any console capable of receiving it). It identifies the radio declaring the emergency, and the radio’s location (if the radio is equipped with a GPS receiver). Voice audio is not automatically transmitted during the emergency if the administrator configures the radio for alert notification only. 7.31.1 1. Press the red emergency button on the radio to enter emergency mode. The emergency is raised after the emergency raise delay [default is one (1) second]. Declare an Emergency Call or Alert • If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured for Emergency Alert, the emergency alert signal is sent to registered alert servers, such as the dispatcher console. • If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured for Emergency Call, the talkgroup is placed into emergency status notifying other radios and the emergency alert signal is sent to the dispatcher console. • If the emergency behavior of the active profile is Current, the active, selected voice group becomes the default emergency voice group. • If the emergency behavior of the active profile is Default, the radio moves to the default emergency voice group of the profile and this talk group becomes the select talk group. 2. The display alternates between “Emergency” and whatever option is selected for the 2nd line of the dwell display. If the attempt is unsuccessful, “E-PEND” flashes periodically and a retry is queued for 10 seconds. If unsuccessful because of lost sync, retry occurs immediately upon reacquiring sync. On each retry attempt, radio temporarily displays “E-RETRY.” This process repeats until the emergency is successfully declared. 7.31.2 When this feature is enabled and an emergency call or alert is declared by pressing the emergency button, the radio does not play a tone and displays an abbreviated emergency message (default is EBA). This feature is enabled or disabled via programming or via the menu. Silent Emergency NOTE If the Silent Emergency feature is enabled or disabled via programming, the setting survives power cycle. Enable/Disable selection via the menu do NOT survive power cycle and the enable/disable state reverts to the programmed setting at power up.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 45 7.31.3 NOTEClear an Emergency Call or Alert Check with the system administrator to ensure that the radio is programmed to allow an emergency to be cleared. If enabled via programming, clear an emergency by: 1. Pressing and holding the CLR/CLEAR button and simultaneously pressing the emergency button. 2. After the Emergency Cleared Tone sounds, release both buttons. NOTE If the radio is in Stealth Mode, clearing the emergency takes the radio out of Stealth Mode. 7.31.4 Upon receiving an emergency call declared by another radio: Receive an Emergency Call • An emergency tone sounds in the radio’s speaker/headset (three short high-pitched beeps). • “EMERGENCY” flashes in the display if the radio is not in stealth mode. When receiving voice in an active emergency, the flashing “EMERGENCY” is inhibited so that the alias of the sender can be seen. • On receiving radios with the emergency talk group selected, the alias of the sending party is displayed for 5 seconds during the open-mic period, then the word “Emergency” flashes on the second line of the display and continues until the emergency state ends. • If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on the selected talk group, audio on the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. See page 38 for additional information on “No Scan” operation. • If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the selected talk group, the emergency talk group (identified by an “*”) must be selected before audio on it is heard in the speaker/headset. • If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on the selected talk group, the selected/emergency talk group’s name remains in the top line of the display. Audio on the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. • If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the selected talk group, the emergency talk group’s name appears in the bottom line of the display. Audio on the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. • The declaring radio's alias appears in the bottom line of the display when the emergency talk group is selected. • An emergency call can be dismissed as described in the following section. NOTE A radio declaring an emergency on a talk group has a “hot” mic time period of typically ten (10) seconds just after it declares the emergency. This time period may be adjusted by system or network administration personnel on a per radio basis.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 46 7.31.5 NOTEDismiss an Emergency Call An emergency is dismissed for a configurable amount of time only (default = 5 minutes). To ignore an emergency call declared by another radio user: 1. Scroll through the menu until “EmgDismiss” appears in the display. 2. Press until the talk group in the emergency state appears, as indicated by an asterisk (*) following the talk group’s name. 3. Press the MENU button. NOTE The emergency dismiss timer is cleared when the emergency is cleared. 7.32 ENCRYPTION In the OpenSky network, both data and voice use a 128-bit or 256-bit key encryption standard published by the Federal Information Processing Service (FIPS), called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce for encryption of classified materials. When encryption is enabled on the network, data is encrypted from the MDIS to the Mobile End System (MES) (e.g., M7300 mobile radio). This form of encryption provides air-link security. Voice encryption is handled either automatically or manually. Automatic encryption is initiated through the Unified Administration Server (UAS) for a specific talk group and requires nothing from the user. Manual encryption is initiated by two or more radio users and requires system model control heads. Both methods of encryption are discussed in the following sections. 7.32.1 For automatic encryption, a network administrator selects the talk group to be encrypted at the interface to the UAS. Once the talk groups have been selected and identified as secure, credentials for key generation are generated automatically by the system and provisioned to authorized users. This process requires that authorized users login to the network and be authenticated. Encryption keys require no manual handling and are never sent “in the clear” over any network interface or air-link. Automatic Encryption 1. “Pls Login” appears displayed in the bottom line of the dwell display. 2. Login normally using the keypad on a system model control head to enter User ID and Password. If a user is engaged in a call on a talk group encrypted at the network administrator level, “Secure Call” appears in the bottom line of the dwell display if the user is logged in to that talk group. If a secure call is in progress elsewhere and the user has not logged in, the bottom of the dwell display alternates between “No Access” and the alias of the radio that is currently engaged in the secure call. NOTE The radio can also be programmed to automatically login and enable encryption.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 47 7.32.2 Two or more users can manually encrypt a call, if enabled, without an established encrypted talk group. A pre-determined key is required at each radio. Manual Encryption (System Model) NOTE The key must be pre-determined by the users prior to making a manually encrypted call on a talk group and is entered into the radio using the keypad. For 128 bit encryption, this key is between 1 and 16 digits. For 256 bit encryption, this key is between 17 and 32 digits. If two communicating radios have different (manually-defined) keys, receive audio at each radio sounds garbled. With manual encryption enabled, unencrypted radio users on the talk group can still make standard voice (unencrypted) calls on the talk group. However, if an unencrypted user attempts to transmit on the talk group when one of the encrypted users is already transmitting on the talk group, the unencrypted radio sounds a deny tone and “No Access” appears in the display. Also, the encrypted user can hear standard unencrypted calls, but cannot respond while still manually encrypted. CAUTION Do notPerform the following to transmit or receive manually encrypted calls: set a talk group for manual encryption if it has been set for encryption by the network administration personnel. 1. Press *32 on the keypad. 2. Enter the key (1 – 16 digits for 128 bit encryption; 17 – 32 digits for 256 bit encryption). 3. Press the # key. 4. To end manual encryption, press *33#. If a user is engaged in a call on a talk group that has been manually encrypted at the radio level, the user sees “Secure Call” on the bottom of the dwell display. If a secure (encrypted) call is in progress, and the user has not entered the key, the bottom of the dwell display alternates between “No Access” and the alias of the radio that is currently engaged in the secure call. Once the user has terminated manual encryption, “UnSecure” appears temporarily in the bottom line of the dwell display. 7.33 PRESET BUTTONS The front panel contains three buttons labeled A, B, and C. By holding one of these buttons down for approximately three (3) seconds, the following current information is saved to the function of that button: • Selected Priority 1 and Priority 2 talk groups • Selected profile • Selected priority talk group • Lockouts
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 48 • Scan mode • Intercom mode Presets are saved and restored to/from non-volatile memory. Changing the User ID (login in as a different user) clears the presets since they are stored on a per-user basis. Changing control heads does not recall presets for the previous control head. NOTE Preset button C can be configured via programming to reboot the radio into a particular application mode. Contact your system administrator to determine if this feature is enabled in your radio. 7.34 STATUS MESSAGES If enabled via programming, the radio can transmit a pre-programmed status message.

If no message has been configured, no message is sent and an error tone sounds. Press to cancel RTT message selection. 7.36 DYNAMIC REGROUPING Dynamic regrouping requires that the network administrator determine which radio users should be formed into an impromptu talk group to respond to particular emergency conditions. The administrator edits the personalities of the affected radios to include an emergency profile and then pages the affected radios to re-register with the network to receive their edited personalities. In response, affected radios automatically re-register to receive their edited personalities. During re-registration, subscriber equipment defaults to the emergency profile selected by the administrator.

Sounds after keying the radio (Push-To-Talk button is pressed). Indicates the radio has been assigned a working channel. Autokey A mid-pitched tone. After being placed in a queue or releasing the PTT button prior to a working channel assignment, the site calls the radio when a channel becomes available. At this point, the radio automatically keys the transmitter (autokey) for a short period to hold the channel. The radio sounds a mid-pitched tone when it is clear to talk. Immediately press the PTT button to keep the assigned channel. Call Queued A high-pitched tone. Sounds after pressing the PTT button indicating the system has placed the call request in the queue. The receiving unit(s) also sound(s) the tone to indicate they will receive a call shortly. System Busy Three low-pitched tones. Sounds if the radio is keyed when the system is busy, if no channels are available for sending the message, if the call queue is full, or if an individual call is being attempted to a radio that is transmitting. Call Denied A low-pitched tone. Indicates the radio is not authorized on the system that has been selected. Carrier Control Timer Five short high-pitched warning tones followed by a long low-pitched tone. Sounds if the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded. The transmitter shuts down shortly after the alert, interrupting communications. Release and re-key the PTT button to maintain communications. This resets the carrier control timer and turns the transmitter back on. Key Press Alert A short tone. Indicates a key has been pressed. A short low-pitched tone indicates no action was taken because the key is not active in the current mode. Page (P25T Only) Three high-pitched tones. In P25 trunked mode, if the receiving radio accepts a page, both the receiving and transmitting radios emit three high-pitched tones. Out of Range One low pitched tone. Indicates the radio is in Wide Area Scan. The radio periodically beeps when in Wide Area Scan.

G 62 FEATURE NUMBER POSSIBLE FEATURES STANDARD OR OPTIONAL 38 Radio TextLink Optional 8.9 SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELECTION The M7300 SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob and the ramp control are programmable for maximum flexibility. If the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select groups or channels, then the ramp control is assigned to select systems. If the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob is assigned to select systems, then the ramp control is assigned to select groups or channels. System, group, and channel selection is the primary function for these controls. Systems or groups can also be selected by pressing SYS or GRP and using the ramp control to scroll through available options. 8.9.1 Several methods, some of which depend on programming, can be used to select a new system. These procedures are presumed to be starting from the normal receive display. System Selection METHOD 1: If system selection is programmed to the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a system by turning the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired system position. The display registers the new system name on line 1. If the wrap option is OFF and the knob is moved to a position greater than the number of programmed systems, the highest programmed system remains selected. METHOD 2: If system selection is programmed as the primary function of the ramp control, select a system by pressing up or down to scroll through the system list. The display registers the new system name on line 1. METHOD 3: Press SYS to enter the system select mode and use the ramp control to scroll through the systems. 8.9.2 Several methods, some of which depend on programming, can be used to select a new group or channel. These procedures assume starting from the normal receive display. Group and Channel Selection METHOD 1: If group selection is programmed to the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, select a group by turning the SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob to the desired group. The display registers the new group name on line 2. If the wrap option is OFF and the knob is moved to a position greater than the number of programmed groups, the highest programmed group remains selected. METHOD 2: If group selection is programmed as the primary function of the ramp control, select a group by pressing up or down, to scroll through the group list. The display registers the new group name on line 2. METHOD 3: Press GRP to enter the group select mode and use the ramp control to scroll through different groups.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 63 8.10 LAST SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL RECALL This feature, enabled through programming, allows the user to recall the last selected system/group after an emergency or home function or system/group key function. For example, if the Home button (pre-programmed) is pressed, the radio goes to the designated Home system/group or channel. If the Home button is pressed again, the radio returns to the previous system/group or channel. At this time, the user can toggle between the Home system/group or channel and the previous system/group or channel. The operation is the same for the SG1-SG16 buttons. 8.11 ENCRYPTION The M7300 mobile radio supports AES and DES encryption. When operating on a group or channel programmed for encryption, all transmissions are private and the radio receives clear and private signals. is displayed when the encryption is enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select capability, the mode may be toggled between encrypted and unencrypted by pressing the MENU key, and then selecting the PRIVATE menu option. Radios programmed for forced encryption do not allow a change of the transmit mode. 8.11.1 To display the cryptographic key currently in use for either the system encryption key (for special call such as individual, phone, all, agency or fleet) or the group/channel key (for group or conventional calls), perform the following procedure (Not Available on Conventional radios): Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number 1. Press the MENU button. 2. Use to select DISP KEY. Then press the MENU button. 3. Then use to toggle between displaying the system key or the group/channel key. Table 8-7: Current Cryptographic Key Display ENCRYPTION KEY DISPLAYED MESSAGE DISPLAYED System "SYS KEY" "KEY = 1" Group/Channel "GRP KEY"/"CHN KEY" "KEY = 2"/KEY = 2" 8.11.2 All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing and holding the CLR/CLEAR button, and while still pressing this button, press and hold the OPT/OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of warning beeps begins at the start of this 2-second period and then switches to a solid tone after the keys have been zeroed. The display indicates KEY ZERO. Key Zero If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Key Loader into the radio before private communications can continue. Refer to Key Manager TQS3416 Administration and Software Release Notes for further information.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 64 8.11.3 When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or encrypted operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it is decrypted, the receiver unsquelches, and the message is heard in the speaker. The selected group or channel must be programmed for encryption and the correct cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio for this to occur. Receive an Encrypted Call 8.11.4 1. Select the desired group or channel. Transmit an Encrypted Call 2. Enable encryption by pressing the MENU button and then selecting the PRIVATE menu option, or press the button on the control head that has been programmed for PRIVATE. • If the last state of the radio was encryption enabled, then encryption is enabled on power up. In addition, encryption is enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio • If a group or channel is not programmed for encryption, PVT DIS is displayed if an attempt is made to enable encryption. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in encrypted mode. • If the radio is programmed for forced encryption mode, FRCD PVT is displayed if an attempt is made to disable encryption. It is not possible to transmit on this group/channel in clear mode. • If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY # is displayed and the call does not transmit. 3. Continue with standard transmission procedures. An access tone is heard when the PTT button is pressed. 8.12 MACRO KEY OPERATION Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro" keystroke. Up to ten (10) macro keys can be defined, each capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any pushbutton input (i.e., keypad keys, buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed or when released. A macro key can 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 system administrator. 8.13 RECEIVE A CALL 1. Turn the radio on by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise (out of detent). A short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use. 2. The display shows the last selected or the power up (depending on programming) system and group/channel names. If the radio is unable to obtain a control channel, line 2 shows CC SCAN. 3. Adjust the volume to the desired level. 4. Select the desired system and group/channel. 5. The radio is now ready to receive calls. 6. When the radio receives a call, it unmutes on the assigned working channel and the BSY indicator comes on. Line 1 shows GR followed by the logical ID number (if received) of the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 65 8.14 TRANSMIT A CALL 1. Turn the radio on and set the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level. Select the desired system and group/channel. 2. Ensure that conventional channels are not busy by pressing the CLR button to briefly disable any channel decoding and unmute the receiver, or observe the unlit BSY indicator. If the Channel Busy Lockout feature is programmed for the selected channel, the radio does not transmit when the channel is busy. 3. Press and hold the PTT button. 4. When the working channel is assigned, TX and BSY indicators are turned ON and a short beep is sounded indicating communication can begin. NOTE If two or more tones, or a high-pitched tone is heard, the system may be busy and the call request has been placed in queue or the request has been denied for some reason. Refer to the Section 8.6 for more details. 5. Hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from the mouth and speak in a normal voice. 6. Release the PTT button when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 8.15 CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT (EDACS) In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS system, communications can take place in conventional failsoft mode. The radio is automatically directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose. During this mode of operation, the control unit displays CONV FS in the alphanumeric display. An increase in activity on the channel during conventional failsoft operation may be noticed, so be careful not to transmit until the channel is clear. Operation during conventional failsoft is the same as operation on a conventional system, except 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. NOTE Emergency and Special Call are not operational during conventional failsoft. In addition, the GRP control does not operate. 8.16 EMERGENCY OPERATION The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze is enabled or disabled through programming. When an emergency is declared, scanning stops and only restarts after the emergency is cleared. 8.16.1 When receiving an emergency call from the selected group and system, an alert beep sounds and the BSY indicator illuminates. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line 2 until the emergency condition is cleared. Follow standard emergency procedures. Receive an Emergency Call
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 66 8.16.2 To send an emergency call to the selected system and group (or on an optionally pre-programmed emergency group), proceed as follows: Declare an Emergency 1. Press and hold the red emergency button for approximately one second. (This time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter. Check with the system administrator.) The radio transmits an emergency call request with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received. 2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep (Autokey alert tone) indicating it is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line 2 in the display until the emergency is cleared. 3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. 4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 5. The emergency can be cleared by pressing and holding the CLR button followed by pressing the red emergency button then releasing both buttons. 8.17 SYSTEM SCAN OPERATION (EDACS AND P25 TRUNKED) The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled upon radio power up. 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 is maintained through system changes but defaults to ON at power up. 8.17.1 The M7300 Series mobile radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for multi-site applications. 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 switches to the new system and sounds an alert tone. Wide Area System Scan (WA Scan) 8.17.2 The radio can be programmed for ProScan™ system scan operation for multi-site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. 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 compare it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacency 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’s signal quality level degrades below a pre-programmed level, the radio begins to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-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. ProScan™ 8.17.3 The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. (To ensure that this feature operates correctly, the control channel of the priority system must be located on channel one unless you are using the ProScan algorithm.) The priority system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio periodically leaves the selected system and searches for Priority System Scan
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 67 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 ProScan algorithm is enabled as explained below). This priority scan timer is reset each time 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. 8.17.4 If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins Wide Area System Scan, the radio only scans for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the WA Scan list. When Wide Area System Scan is Enabled 8.17.5 The radio monitors the priority system and switches to the priority system if the priority system meets the criteria defined in the “ProScan Options” dialog box. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio scans for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control. When ProScan Is Enabled 8.17.6 Press MENU and then use the Menu Selection ramp control to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press MENU to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. 8.17.7 Press the pre-programmed key and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Pre-Programmed Keypad Key 8.18 SCAN OPERATION Only groups or channels that are part of the radio's scan list are scanned. Groups/channels are added to the scan list on a per system basis through programming, the radio keypad, or both, dependent upon programming. This scan list can be changed by the user from the keypad, unless programmed otherwise. Each system's scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off. The M7300 Series mobile radio can also be programmed to provide Trunked Priority Group Scan capability, which operates similar to priority scan in Conventional mode. The following is a description of programmable scan features that should be helpful in understanding the scan operation of the radio: Scan Hang Time - the delay time the radio waits before resuming scan after the push-to-talk is released or after the carrier has dropped a channel. 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 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.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 68 P1 Always Scan - determines if the Priority 1 Group is always scanned, regardless of the scan state set by the user. 8.18.1 1. With scan operation turned off, select the desired group channel to add to the selected scan list. Add Groups or Channels to a Scan List 2. Press (+) or (-) with to display the current priority status of the group on line 1 for a time-out period. 3. While the status is displayed, press (+) with to add the group/channel to the scan list. is displayed. 4. Press (+) with a second time to set the group/channel to Priority 2. is displayed. 5. Press (+) with a third time to set the group/channel to Priority 1. is displayed in column 1, line 1. The priority level selection sequence only advances the group to the next higher priority level and stops at priority level 1. To select a lower priority level, the group/channel must be deleted from the scan list and then added back to the scan list. Each new group/channel added to the scan list starts at the lowest priority. If the Priority 1 and Priority 2 group/channel are already set and a new group/channel is assigned as Priority 1 or Priority 2, the previously assigned group/channel changes to non-priority scanning. 8.18.2 1. With scan operation turned off, select the desired group/channel to delete from the selected scan list. Delete Groups or Channels from a Scan List 2. Press (+) or (-) with . The current scan status of the group/channel is displayed for a time-out period. 3. Press (-) with to delete the group from the scan list. , or turns off. Any group/channel that is not in a scan list shows a “blank” when it is the selected group/channel. 8.18.3 A group/channel can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group/channel, by pressing (-) with Nuisance Delete during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group/channel. The group/channel is deleted from the scan list in the same manner as if using the steps above. Deletions performed in this manner do not remain deleted if the radio is turned off and back on. 8.18.4 1. Toggle scan operation by pressing SCAN. The SCAN indicator turns on when the radio is scanning. Turn Scan On NOTE Scanning stops while the microphone is off-hook if the hookswitch feature is enabled through programming. 2. When a group on the scan list receives a channel assignment, the radio unmutes on the assigned channel, the BSY indicator comes on and the received scan group is displayed. • The radio continues scanning if a new group/channel is selected when scan is on.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 69 • Pressing the PTT button when scan is on causes the radio to transmit on the displayed group/channel or on the currently selected group depending on programming. • Pressing up with when scan is on causes the radio to recall the scanned group/channel that was last received. This group/channel is recalled for a period equal to the scan hang time. 8.18.5 When scan is enabled and the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups/channels have been identified, the radio listens to calls on those groups/channels and the selected group/channel. While receiving a scanned call, the radio continues to monitor the selected Priority 1 and Priority 2 group/channel and drops the call if the selected group/channel or other higher priority call becomes active. During a Priority 2 call, the radio continues to monitor for a Priority 1 group call. Priority Group/Channel Scanning The radio monitors for Agency and Fleet calls that correspond to the Agency and Fleet associated with the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups. Priority Agency and Fleet calls are indicated by displaying AGENCY or FLEET on the System line of the display and associated Priority 1 or 2 group on the Group line of the display. 8.18.6 Turn scan operation off by pressing SCAN. The radio resumes operation on the selected group/channel. Turn Scan Off 8.19 INDIVIDUAL CALLS (EDACS AND P25 MODES) 8.19.1 When the radio receives an individual call, it unmutes on the assigned working channel and turns on the BSY indicator. Line 1 shows “ID” followed by the logical ID number of the radio sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The individual call indicator displays *INDV* on line 2. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller unkeys and continues until the PTT button, the CLR button, or IND is pressed. Receive and Respond to an Individual Call NOTE Hookswitch functions the same as CLR key in I-CALL, phone call, and menu modes. 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 ID is not received, UNKNOWN displays for the duration of the call and there is no call-back hang time. To respond after the call-back time-out, press the IND key. The radio's display shows the callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point initiates an individual call back to the original caller. (If the last call was a group call, the display shows WHCG=1. Pressing the PTT button places the call as an individual call.) The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 70 To access the list, press the IND key twice. Use to scroll through the list. Press the MENU key to display the time elapsed since the call was received. 8.19.2 There are two lists available for call storage in the radio, the calls received list (1-10) and the personality list (1-99 as defined by the user). When the individual call mode is entered by pressing IND, the calls received list is available. The user can toggle to the personality list by selecting any key other than DIS or toggle between the two lists by pressing the IND key. If wrap is enabled, the calls received list wraps on itself and not into the other list. Call Storage Lists The saved call list shows all ten storage locations. If no calls have been received, the saved call list is empty and the pre-stored list is available upon entering the individual call mode. When in the saved call list, pressing MENU toggles the time stamp ON and OFF. The time stamp indicates how long ago the call was received. The display indicates this information as HH:MM:SS where HH = hours, MM = minutes and SS = seconds. When in the pre-stored list, pressing MENU toggles the Logical IDentification (LID) ON and OFF. 8.19.3 The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete an individual call. Send an Individual Call 1. To select a previously stored individual, select the I-Call mode from the menu or press IND followed by the ramp control to scroll through the list of stored individuals. While in the individual call list, the MENU key toggles the display between the call name and the unit ID number. If the individual is not stored in this list but the individual’s unit ID is known, it can be entered directly from the keypad.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 71 2. Press the PTT button. The radio performs the necessary signaling to obtain a communication channel. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit, the TX indicator turns ON and the channel access tone sounds. Line 1 shows the called individual's name if found in the list of stored individuals or ID followed by the logical ID number of the unit being called. The message *INDV* displays on line 2. Proceed with the message. 8.20 SCAT™ OPERATION A SCAT (Single Channel Autonomous Trunking) System operates with the same set of features as a standard EDACS system. The only significant user change relates to the BSY indicator. Since only one channel, operating as both control and working channel, exists in a SCAT System, the BSY indicator is ON when the SCAT channel is in the working channel mode. When the transmission on the channel is completed, the indicator turns OFF and indicates the return of SCAT control channel signaling. 8.21 TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS (EDACS AND P25) 8.21.1 Receiving a telephone interconnect call is identical to receiving an individual call. See the DTMF Overdial Operation section if access to services requiring "over-dial" is needed. Overdial operations are available for any special call whether it is an individual call or a telephone interconnect call. Receive a Telephone Interconnect Call 8.21.2 Use the following procedures to initiate and complete a Telephone Interconnect call: Send a Telephone Interconnect Call 1. To select a previously stored phone number, select phone call mode from the menu, press PHN and use the ramp control to scroll through the list of stored phone numbers. While in the phone call list, the MENU key toggles the display between the phone call name and the phone call number. If the phone number is not stored in this list but the phone number is known, it can be entered directly from the keypad. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and holding 0-9, (*), or (#) until an underscore appears in the display. 2. Press and release the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling to obtain a communication channel. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit, TX indicator turns on and the channel access tone sounds. Line 1 shows the accompanying name if selected from the list of stored numbers or the phone number if entered directly. The message *PHONE* is displayed on line 2. The radio then automatically transmits the programmed number stored in the special call queue. 3. Telephone ringing is heard. When someone answers the phone, press the PTT button and speak into the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to the caller. 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. 4. To terminate the call, momentarily press the CLR button. NOTE The M7300 Series mobile radio is capable of half-duplex conversation only. The caller’s message can only be sent if the PTT button is pressed (the radio is transmitting) and the caller can only be heard by the person being called when the PTT is released (the radio is receiving).
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 72 8.21.3 Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it may be necessary to "over-dial" more digits to access banking services, answering 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 interconnect call via DTMF signaling if a dial tone has already been accessed on the system. This is the method that is used for making a telephone interconnect call while operating in the conventional mode but also functions in trunked mode if a dial tone is directly accessible. Telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing can be stored in the phone list when programming the radio or stored by the operator in the first ten phone list entries. These numbers are accessed by pressing PHN. DTMF Overdial/Conventional Mode Telephone Interconnect The following steps are required to dial these numbers: 1. Follow the procedure in Section 8.21.2 to establish a connection to the telephone system or consult the system administrator for the procedure to access a dial tone on the trunked or conventional system. 2. Overdial numbers are transmitted using either method as follows: METHOD 1: Press and hold PTT while entering the overdial number sequence from the keypad. This method sends DTMF tones during individual, telephone interconnect, trunked group, or conventional channel calls. Anytime the PTT button is pressed and held, the keypad is enabled for DTMF entry. METHOD 2: Press PHN to access a stored number from the phone list or to directly enter the overdial digits. Press PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the number needs to be transmitted again it must be selected or entered again (this prevents unwanted numbers from being sent the next time the PTT button is pressed during the call). This overdial select/entry mode remains active until the call is dropped, cleared, or MENU is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing PHN. 8.21.4 Individual call ID numbers, telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing are stored in the special call lists when programming the radio. The first ten entry locations of these lists can be changed by the radio operator. The keypad is used when adding, changing and storing numbers in these entry locations. Programmable Entries Use the following procedure to store a number in one of the first ten entries of a special call list: 1. Press IND or PHN to enter the individual call list or the phone call list. 2. Scroll through the list using the ramp control until one of the first ten (10) entries is reached. NO ENTRY is displayed if the location is empty. 3. Enter the desired number. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and holding 0-9, (*), or (#) until an underscore appears in the display. The individual call list entries accept up to 5 digits. The phone call list entries accept a combination of up to 31 digits and pauses. 4. Press and hold MENU until the display changes indicating that the number has been stored. 5. Repeat the steps above if the number stored in an entry location needs to be changed.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 73 8.22 MOBILE DATA (EDACS AND P25 TRUNKED) The M7300 Series mobile radios, when operating in the EDACS or P25 Trunked 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 selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio. Data communications is not supported in the conventional mode. The mobile 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) can be connected to the mobile radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio. Additionally, radios programmed for host computers can also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or received). NOTE Turn power to the radio OFF before connecting or disconnecting any cables, including the data cable. Also, turn power to the radio OFF when docking or undocking a connected laptop computer. Failure to turn the power OFF can damage the radio, requiring service by a Harris Corporation approved service center. 8.22.1 The following is displayed on the control unit during the various states of data mode of operation. Displays TX DATA Displayed on bottom line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call. RX DATA Displayed on bottom line of display when the radio is receiving a data call. DATA OFF Displayed on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state. DATA ON Displayed for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the data enabled state. 8.22.2 The radio can be placed in the data disabled state by any of the following methods. When the data state is disabled, the control unit displays "DATA OFF" on the top line. An ongoing data call is allowed to complete except when an emergency is declared. DATA OFF Operation • Removing the microphone from the hookswitch (hookswitch option must be enabled by pre-programming). • Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone sounds. • Pressing the OPT button (System Model) or OPTION (Scan Model) (pre-programmed). Alert tone sounds. • Selecting the function using the MENU button (pre-programmed). 8.22.3 The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled). “DATA ON” is displayed top line of display for 2 seconds then the display returns to normal. DATA ON Operation • 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.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 74 8.22.4 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: Exiting Data Calls • The PTT is activated. • The PTT is in Public Address Mode. • An emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button. • A group or system change is made. 8.22.5 Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, scanning stops temporarily (duration pre-programmed). During this time the scan LED flashes to indicate that scan is enabled but temporarily suspended. This mode is normally exited when the pre-programmed time expires; however, the following actions terminate the scan lockout mode before the timeout is completed. Scan Lockout Mode • The CLR (System Model) or CLEAR (Scan Model) button is pressed. • The PTT is pressed. • A group or system change is made. • Enter phone call mode. • Enter individual call mode. • A new emergency assignment has been received. • The PTT is pressed in Public Address Mode. • An emergency is declared or cleared. • Microphone is removed from hookswitch (off-hook). • Receiving an individual or phone call. • Receiving an Agency, Fleet or System All Call. • Pressing the SCAN button to turn scan ON or OFF. 8.22.6 The data lockout mode is a pre-programmed mode when the radio does not respond to any data channel assignments and prevents receive data calls from interrupting voice calls. Transmit data calls are still initiated when needed by the operator. After a pre-programmed time, the radio responds to receive data calls; however, the following conditions clear the data lockout mode: Data Lockout Mode • The CLR (System Model) or CLEAR (Scan Model) button is pressed. • Transmitting a data call. • Changing a system. • An emergency is declared. • Pressing the PTT while in Public Address Mode. • Turning scan ON with the SCAN button.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 75 8.23 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION (EDACS AND P25 TRUNKED) Status and message operation is possible with either the Scan or System version of the M7300 Series mobile radio unit. The following procedure is applicable for the System version. For operation with the Scan version, the four primary keycaps must be reconfigured and pre-programmed for status/message operation. 8.23.1 Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the EDACS or P25 Trunked site. Status Operation To send a status condition, press the STS button and then press one of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed status. If no status has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio displays NO ENTRY and the radio sounds a low tone. A valid selection permits the status text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the MENU button has been pressed (the MENU button overrides the time-out period), the status is selected and is transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. If the site receives the status properly, when transmitted or polled by the site, a high-pitched tone sounds and the keylight associated with that status remains lit. If the site does not receive the status properly, a low-pitched tone sounds and the keylight associated with the status blinks. If an incorrect status is selected or the incorrect number button is pressed, the status can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number button. The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLR button prior to the time-out period. To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the STS button. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status flashes in the display. The radio can also be pre-programmed to re-designate the keypad buttons for ST0 thru ST9 to send status condition. In this configuration the radio status operation operates as previously described except the STS button is not required. The keylight associated with ST0 thru ST9 indicates which status is selected. 8.23.2 Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to an EDACS or P25 Trunked site. Message Operation To send a message, press the MSG button and then press one of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed message text. If no message text has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio displays NO ENTRY and a low-pitched tone sounds. A valid selection permits the message text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out expires or the MENU button has been pressed (the MENU button overrides the time-out period), the message text is selected and is transmitted to the site. If the site receives the message properly when transmitted, a high pitched tone sounds and the MSG keylight remains lit. If the site does not receive the message properly, a low-pitched tone sounds and the MSG keylight blinks. If an incorrect message text is selected or the incorrect number button is pressed, the message text can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number button. The message text selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLR button prior to the time-out period. To view the currently selected message text after it has been transmitted, press the MSG button and then the CLR button prior to the time-out period. If the message text was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the message flashes in the display.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 76 8.24 EDACS CONVENTIONAL P1 SCAN This feature permits the radio user to scan a pre-programmed conventional system and channel as a Priority 1 (P1) channel while the radio is selected for EDACS trunked system. If activity is detected on the conventional P1 channel, the radio unmutes and remains on this conventional channel for the programmable hang time. The radio must be pre-programmed to designate a button for scan ON/OFF operation. 8.25 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION (EDACS) Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the Communications Systems Director (CSD). The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping is not activated in a radio until an activation message is sent by the system manager. Each radio that receives and acknowledges regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped. Pressing and holding CLEAR/CLR for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup group set. A double beep sounds for entry or exit. The display indicates 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, the display shows NO ENTRY. The radio is prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups. If the pre-programmed group set on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio exits dynamic regroup and declares the emergency on the HOME group. If no EMER/HOME group is present, the radio declares the emergency on the currently selected dynamic regroup group. 8.26 PAGE (P25 TRUNKED ONLY) Page sends a PING message to a radio and functions similar to Individual Call. The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete a Page. 1. To select a previously stored individual, select PAGE from the menu followed by the ramp control to scroll through the list of stored individuals. While in the individual call list, the MENU key toggles the display between the call name and the unit ID number. On System model radios, the individual’s unit ID can also be entered directly from the keypad. 2. Press the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling on the control channel. On the calling radio, line 1 shows the called individual's name if found in the list of stored individuals or ID followed by the logical ID number of the unit being called. If the receiving radio receives the Page and responds, both radios emits three high-pitched tones. The receiving radio also displays PAGE and the ID of the calling radio. 8.27 SQUELCH ADJUST (CONVENTIONAL) In the conventional mode of operation, the squelch can be re-adjusted in the MENU or from a front panel key on the keypad that has been pre-programmed. A default value of 9, or any user level between 1 and 16, can be selected using programming software. The user can change this setting either of two ways from the front panel keys. NOTE A value of 16 requires a strong signal to open squelch, a value of 2 requires a very weak signal to open squelch, and a value of 1 is open squelch.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 77 NOTE When the squelch adjust feature is activated, Channel Guard, T99 decode, and Scan are disabled. When the squelch adjust feature is exited, Channel Guard, T99 decode, and Scan are restored to their previous states. 8.27.1 1. Press the MENU key and then use the ramp control Menu Selection to scroll through the selections until SQUELCH is displayed. Then press MENU (select) again. 2. The display shows SQLCH=xx, where "xx" is the value between 1 and 16. 3. Use the ramp control to scroll through the values. Then press the MENU (select) key to save the new value after the display time-out (2 seconds). The displayed value is selected and saved. 4. If the MENU or CLR key is pressed before the time-out, the menu feature exits and the squelch level is not updated. The original value is restored. 8.27.2 1. Press the pre-programmed key and the display indicates SQLCH=xx, where "xx" is the value between 1 and 16. Pre-Programmed Keypad Key 2. Use the ramp control to scroll through the values. Then press MENU to save the new value or wait for the display time-out (2 seconds). The displayed value is selected and saved. 3. If the CLR key is pressed before the time-out, the squelch level is not updated and the original value is restored. 8.28 TYPE 99 DECODE (ANALOG CONVENTIONAL) If the Type 99 Decode Option has been pre-programmed, individual Selective Calling is possible. The radio can now decode individual, group, or supergroup paging calls. Two sets of Type 99 paging codes must be pre-programmed into the radio. When the radio decodes an appropriate Type 99 code sequence, an alert tone and visual indicator is provided to the user. The receiver then operates as a noise squelched unit until Type 99 is reset. Type 99 decode continues to operate during this noise squelched period. The appropriate Type 99 alert tone sounds again if it detects a valid two-tone sequence. Type 99 operation can be reset manually or automatically (pre-programmed). Manual reset is achieved by briefly pressing CLR, if programmed. Automatic reset, if enabled, occurs after a 30 second interval following the most recent decode of a Type 99 tone sequence. Hookswitch (pre-programmed) can also enable or disable Type 99 decode. The pre-programmed key light blinks when Type 99 is disabled by the hookswitch. Type 99 decode continues to be active while the radio's CLR button is pressed. This allows the user to monitor calls and still be alerted when a call is directed to the user. While the user continues to press CLR, the user hears both calls and all Type 99 tone signals. If CLR is pressed for longer than two (2) seconds, Type 99 decode is either disabled or re-enabled depending upon its present state. To check the Type 99 enable status, press the Scan Add/Delete ramp control. The current status of Type 99 decode is displayed for a time-out period. If a Horn Alert Option is installed and enabled with the Type 99 Decode Option, the radio can beep the vehicle horn when a Type 99 call is received. This option permits alerting persons out of the vehicle when a call is received.
MM-014716-001, Rev. G 78 NOTE Type 99 is automatically disabled when Scan is enabled. 8.28.1 Press MENU and then use the Menu Selection ramp control to scroll through the selections until T99 ENAB is displayed. Then press MENU to toggle the Type 99 decode state. The T99 ON or T99 OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. 8.28.2 Press the pre-programmed key and the T99 ON or T99 OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Pre-Programmed Keypad Key 8.29 TALK-AROUND (ANALOG CONVENTIONAL) Talk-around provides short range, line of sight communications. 1. Make sure the radio is ON and then select the desired conventional system and channel. 2. Press the pre-programmed button to toggle the talk-around function ON. 3. Ensure that the channel is not busy by pressing CLR/CLEAR to briefly disable any channel decoding and unmute the receiver or observe the unlit BSY indicator. If the Channel Busy Lockout feature is programmed for the selected channel, the radio does not transmit when the channel is busy. 4. Press and hold the PTT button. The TX indicator illuminates and a short beep sounds (if pre-programmed) indicating that communication can begin. 5. Release the PTT button when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 6. When the communication is completed, press the pre-programmed button to toggle the talk-around function OFF. Or 1. Make sure the radio is ON and then select the desired conventional system and channel. 2. Select TALKARND from the menu to toggle talk-around on and off.
