DESCRIPTION
The Ericsson Inc.
Prism HP
and LPE-200 Portable
Radios are rugged, high-quality, high-performance FM two-
way communications unit designed to operate in either
ANALOG or DIGITAL
environments. It is available in
either Scan or System versions. These are Ericsson’s
smallest and most sophisticated high-specification portable
radios, designed to meet worldwide requirements. They
utilize custom designed integrated circuits to set new
standards for size and weight for a high power, high
specification two way radio. These radios are synthesized
and can be programmed to operate on both
EDACS
trunked or conventional communications systems. The
Prism HP
is the first land mobile terminal product capable
of being upgraded for

operation. Features include:
• •
Field Upgradability (Prism HP only)
Upgradeable to
TDMA
in the field through FLASH
software and a plug-in DSP module, provides an easy,
inexpensive evolution path to
TDMA
operation as
future capacity requirements dictate. Also,
conventional only radios can be upgraded to
EDACS
or
AEGIS
and optional features such as Prosound can be
added.
• •
Compact Size
Designed small and light with rounded edges to fit
comfortably in your hand, while providing
specifications and performance superior to larger,
heavier radios.
• •
Light Weight, Rugged Constructions
Features a molded case made of a polycarbonate blend
surrounding a metal casting. This construction provides
a lightweight yet durable housing designed to withstand
years of rugged use.
• •
High System/Group Capacity
Both the Scan and the System versions can manage up
to 800 different EDACS system/group combinations
with up to 300 conventional channels. EDACS
systems/groups can be configured in many different
ways to meet specific user needs.
• •
Dual Mode Capability
Conventional operation by simply selecting a pre-
programmed conventional system.
• •
Transmit Indicator
A red LED indicator on the top of the radio indicates
when the radio is transmitting.
• •
Display
System and group information, status icons and menu
operation is supported by the 3-line, 12-character,
alphanumeric back lit

• •
Top-Mounted Rotary Knobs
The rugged rotary knobs are designed for ease of
operation by allowing tactile access to groups, systems,
conventional channels, as well as volume and power
control. Knobs are designed with metal protective
sleeves which help prevent bent and broken knobs due
to impact.
• •
Keypad
The back lit keypad allows the user to access the many
radio functions. The 6-button SCAN provides easy
access to preprogrammed telephone and individual
radio ID’s, while the 15-button System keypad expands
this capability, allowing direct entry of these numbers.
The LPE-200 radios have a keypad with translucent
keys. A detailed description of the keypads and their
additional function is found in the
OPERATION
section.
• •
Emergency ID And Alarm
The user can alert the dispatcher to an emergency by
pressing a recessed red button located on the top of the
radio which sends user ID and an emergency signal.
• •
Universal Device Connector (UDC)
The UDC provides the PC programmer and optional
accessories access to the radio for ease and versatility of
radio functionality.
• •
Variable Power Control
PC Programmable from 0.5 to 3 watts
• •
Weatherproof
Radios operate reliably under adverse conditions.
These portable radios meet military standards MIL-
810C, D and E specifications for temperature and
pressure extremes, solar radiation, driven rain,
humidity, salt fog, blowing dust, shock and vibration.
• •
Vibration
Meets EIA, U.S. Forest Service and MIL-810
environmental and vibration-stability requirements.
• •
Personality Programming
Can easily be hooked up to a personal computer in the
field, to allow system and radio parameters to be
flexibly programmed as requirements change, without
changing parts or opening the radio case.
