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.
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.
INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to use the M7100IP Series Mobile Radio. The M7100IP is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance mobile FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS®) trunking environment and conventional communication systems. In the EDACS or trunked system mode, the user selects a communications system and group.
USER INTERFACE The M7100IP operating controls are located on the radio's front panel (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). A keypad, vacuum florescent display for radio status information and a microphone jack are on the front panel. The front panel also provides a rotary SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL knob, POWER ONOFF/VOLUME control, a ramp up/ramp down control, Scan add/delete control, and a SCAN ON-OFF control for scan operation.

CONTROLS This section describes the buttons, keys and rotary knobs used to control the M7100IP Series Mobile Scan and System Model radios. All functions and controls of the Scan radio operate the same as the corresponding functions and controls on the System radio. The Scan radio is equipped with a 4-button keypad and the System radio is equipped with a 16-button keypad. Many of the control buttons and keys have or can be programmed to have a primary function and a secondary function.
The secondary function of the SCAN button is to toggle the keypad buttons between their primary function and their secondary function. SCAN ADD/DELETE This rocker type button is used to display the current SCAN status for a group/channel and then either add or delete the group/channel from the system scan list. INDICATORS Transmitter enabled - ON when the radio is transmitting. BuSY - On indicates a carrier is being received (the channel is busy).
KEYPAD The keypad is similar to a telephone keypad but with four (4) additional buttons on the side for a total of 16 keys. In addition to numbers (1-9, *, 0 and #), which is a secondary function, most of the keys have or can be programmed to have a primary function. A symbol or abbreviated word describing its primary function is labeled on the keycap. Each labeled keycap is associated with a radio feature (or primary function).
Optional Keycap Configuration The optional keycap package for the System radio includes sixty (60) additional keycaps (shown in the Key Descriptions section), which can be placed on any key location desired. Keep in mind, the keycap represents the primary function programmed for that key location. Key Descriptions MODE This key is used to enter the Conventional System selection mode. HOME This key returns the radio to the Home System/Group where it is programmed.
c C P D I E Serves several purposes depending on the operating mode. In trunked mode, the CLR button exits the current operation and removes all displays associated with it. The radio and display then return to the group receive state. In Conventional mode, pressing this button unmutes the receiver so activity on the selected channel can be monitored.
G* This key function is used in Conventional Mode to send G STAR emergency signaling. PA This key function enables and disables the Public Address feature. # DTMF keypad function. 1 thru 9 Keypad numbers. * DTMF Keypad function. Primary Functions (Quick Access) The secondary function of the k button is to toggle the keypad buttons between their primary function and their secondary function. When the secondary keypad is active, i.e.

System Selection 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. 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.
TRUNKED MODE OPERATION Digital trunking provides fast communication access at all times, even during busy hours. In this mode, the operator selects a communications system and group and the audio communication or working channel (WC) is allocated through digital signaling with the site. RECEIVING A CALL 1. Turn the radio on by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise (out of detente). A short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use. 2.
CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS system, communications can take place in conventional failsoft mode. The radio will be automatically directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose. During this mode of operation, the control unit will display 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.

Release PTT when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply. 5. The emergency can be cleared by pressing and holding the c button followed by pressing the E button then releasing both buttons. SYSTEM SCAN OPERATION The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled upon radio power up.
ProScan The radio can be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multisite applications depending on the version of radio flash code. (The ProScan algorithm is available on the M7100IP platform with Group 32 or higher radio flash code.) ProScan is an improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed to replace the ProSound algorithm. 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.
Menu Selection Press M and then use the RAMP controls, , and ., to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press M to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Pre-Programmed Keypad Key Press the pre-programmed key and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. GROUP SCAN OPERATION Only Groups that are part of the radio's scan list will be scanned.
2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current priority status of the group will be displayed in column 1 of line 1 for a time-out period. If the group is not part of the scan list the status will be blank. 3. While the status is displayed press "S" is displayed on line 1. 4. Press < a second time to set the group to Priority 2. A "2" is displayed on line 1. 5. Press < a third time to set the group to Priority 1. A "1" is displayed on line 1.
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 will continue scanning if a new group is selected when scan is on. • Pressing the PTT button when scan is on will cause the radio to transmit on the displayed group or to the currently selected group depending on programming.
NOTE Hookswitch functions the same as phone call, and menu modes. c key in I-CALL, If a response is made to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call will automatically be directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio will return to normal receive mode, but * WHC * will be displayed. If the caller's ID is not received, UNKNOWN will display for the duration of the call and there will be no callback hangtime.
The saved call list shows all ten storage locations. if no calls have been received, the saved call list will be empty and the pre-stored list will be available upon entering the individual call mode. When in the saved call list, pressing m 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 (LID) on and OFF.
SCAT OPERATION A SCAT™ (Single Channel Autonomous Trunking) System operates with 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 will be 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.

Only valid if the data OFF operation was entered by removing the microphone from the hookswitch (going OFF-hook). • Pressing the ND key toggles data state on or OFF. • Clearing an emergency but valid only if emergency caused data OFF operation. Exiting Data Calls 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).
• Pressing the k button to turn scan ON or OFF. Data Lockout Mode The data lock mode is a pre-programmed mode when the radio will not respond to any data channel assignments and prevents receive data calls from interrupting voice calls. Transmit data calls will still be initiated when needed by the operator.
pressing the c button prior to the time-out period. To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the s button. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the display. The radio can also be pre-programmed to redesignate the keypad buttons for ST0 thru ST9 to send status condition. In this configuration the radio status operation will operate as previously described except the s button is not required.
DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be 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 the C (Scan Model) or c (System Model) button for 2.
CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION The radio functions in the conventional mode when using conventional communications channels (non-trunked). Each channel consists of a preset frequency pair for transmit and receive during repeater operation or a single frequency for both transmit and receive during talk-around (no repeater) operation. To use this mode, the operator selects a conventional system that includes one or more conventional channels.
EMERGENCY OPERATION If enabled, G-STAR emergency signaling can be transmitted when operating in the conventional mode. This G-STAR signaling will transmit 5 times with a delay between each transmission.

Place the radio in private mode by pressing the PVT button (System Model) or O (Scan Model). When private mode is enabled, the PVT keylight (System Model) or OPTION keylight (Scan Model) will be ON. If the last state of the radio was private mode, the private mode will be enabled on power up.
Channel Guard Channel Guard encode is transmitted on analog clear channels only. Channel Guard decode will operate on either a clear or private channel. The exception is when G-STAR signaling is used (see G-STAR paragraph). G-STAR When G-STAR is programmed on a private channel, the radio will transmit GSTAR in clear mode and then switch to private for the voice portion of the call. If G-STAR is sent with Channel Guard, then both are sent in clear mode and the radio switches to private mode.
When control is switched in a “Slave” mode system, all of the radio settings and states will remain in effect that have been selected on the active controller. Independent Mode Operation In Independent mode, the radio system operates as if there are two radio units each controlled by a separate control unit. Each control unit maintains its own System and Group settings that are restored when control is switched. The idle controller will display DUAL on line 1 to indicate that it is idle.

CHANGING SELECTED RADIO A radio unit can be selected by pressing the radio selection button (preprogrammed) on the control unit.
Muting a Specified Radio Pressing the control unit mute button associated with a particular radio will mute its audio for a pre-programmed time period. The time period can be cleared by pressing the control unit mute button or the radio selection button. Multiple Radio and Siren & Light Operation For siren and lights to function correctly, both the master and slave radios must be programmed with the same siren and light information.
3. Press and hold PTT to key the transmitter. While holding the PTT, press the * or # key (as required by the radio system to obtain a telephone line). The radio will transmit the selected tone. 4. Release the PTT and listen for a dial tone. When the dial tone is heard, press and hold the PTT while entering the desired telephone number. As each digit is entered and transmitted, the DTMF side tone will be heard from the speaker, if programmed to do so through ProGrammer. 5.
KEYPAD REMAPPING If the keys have been remapped to provide new functions, fill in the following templates (Figure 7 and Figure 8) for future reference.
GLOSSARY Agency - An agency is composed of multiple fleets. Units can be programmed to initiate agency calls to access multiple fleets. (Trunked Mode Only) Base/Unit Operation - A programmed option used in some fleets so units can only hear and talk to a base dispatch unit, not to other mobiles or personals in the group.
Group Scan - Programming that allows the radio to monitor many groups simultaneously (multi-group decode), permitting the user to both monitor and receive calls from these groups. The radio can be programmed with a scan hang time which causes the radio to remain on the scanned group for a pre-programmed amount of time, responding only to calls of a higher priority such as priority scan group calls, individual calls, fleet calls, agency calls, etc.
Trunked Operation - Trunked Operation refers to the use of a set of radio frequency channels by multiple user groups. By using high-speed digital data, the radio goes to an unused channel when a call is initiated and responds only to calls in the same user group. In this way, conversation privacy between user groups is assured. Trunked Radio System - A radio system in which a limited number of radio channels are dynamically allocated to groups of people for communication purposes.
