1 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION  
The M/A-COM P7100IP portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy  
during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as  
“Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of  
employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize  
such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population”  
in an uncontrolled environment.  
The P7100IP portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for  
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this M/A-COM radio complies with the following Standards and  
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for  
exposure to humans:  
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for  
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.  
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect  
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.  
American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the  
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.  
1.1 RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES  
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable  
limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:  
CAUTION  
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may  
also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with  
this radio by M/A-COM or an antenna specifically authorized by M/A-COM for use with this radio.  
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more  
than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio  
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the  
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.  
Always transmit using low power when possible (refer to section “HIGH/LOW POWER A” on page  
33). In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.  
ALWAYS use M/A-COM authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc).  
Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF  
compliance requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 7-1: Options and Accessories.)  
ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 2 cm (0.8 inches) from the body and at least 5 cm  
(2 inches) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are  
not exceeded. This radio has been tested for RF exposure compliance at the distances listed in Table  
1-1. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, M/A-COM  
recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and slightly off to  
one side.

3 OPERATING TIPS  
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low  
lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can  
severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.  
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the  
antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also  
improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted  
antenna.  
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always  
properly charge the batteries.  
3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION  
For optimum audio clarity at the receiving radio(s), hold the portable radio approximately three inches  
from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.  
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.  
Do not hold the antenna when the radio is powered on.  
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on.  
3.1.1  
Antenna Care and Replacement  
Always keep the antenna at least 0.4 inches (1.1 cm.) away from the body and 1  
inch (2.5 cm.) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure  
compliance requirements are not exceeded.  
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn  
may result if a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a  
damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna  
missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC  
regulations.  
10

MM101332V1, Rev. K  
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Use of unauthorized antennas,  
modifications or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may  
violate FCC regulations. (Refer to Table 7-1: Options and Accessories.)  
3.1.2  
Electronic Devices  
RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern  
electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy.  
However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment,  
always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!  
CAUTION  
3.1.3  
Aircraft  
Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft!  
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.  
DO NOT use while in-flight!!  
3.1.4  
3.1.5  
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)  
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres  
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly  
marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical  
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or  
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.  
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury  
or even death.  
Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive  
atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could  
generate sparks.

5 BATTERIES  
The P7100 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) or Nickel Metal  
Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of  
battery.  
If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye  
contact with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water.  
If the battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and  
consult a physician immediately.  
5.1 CONDITIONING NIMH BATTERY PACKS  
Condition a new NiMH battery before putting it into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH  
batteries that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully  
charging and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using a “battery analyzer/conditioner/charger.”  
M/A-COM recommends either the Cadex® C7400 or the Intelligent Technologies Co. BC3506QP-5  
iTECH® iQfive® battery conditioners, purchased directly from M/A-COM. These units condition a  
battery pack by automatically charging and discharging (cycling) the battery.  
Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in  
shortened performance by the battery.  
CAUTION  
5.2 CONDITIONING NICD BATTERY PACKS  
A new NiCD battery does not require conditioning before use. Periodically condition NiCD batteries to  
avoid the memory effect. If a NiCD battery is repeatedly charged and not fully discharged, the result is  
lower voltage and lower capacity. Fortunately, both voltage and capacity are restored through battery  
conditioning.  
Always use M/A-COM authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of  
unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty.  
CAUTION  
5.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION  
For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio batteries or establishing a battery  
maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367 which may be ordered by calling toll free 1-800-368-3277, then

6 INTRODUCTION  
This manual describes how to use the P7100IP series portable radio. The P7100IP series radio is available  
without a front mounted keypad (P7130 – Select model), with a 6-button front mounted keypad (P7150 –  
Scan model) and with a DTMF front mounted keypad (P7170 – System model). The P7100IP series radios  
are synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance portable FM radios providing reliable two-way  
communications in the Enhanced Digital Access Communications Systems (EDACS®) and P25 trunking  
environments as well as conventional communications systems.  
In P25 Trunked and EDACS modes, the user selects a communications system and group. In these modes,  
channel selection is transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system  
controller. This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels.  
In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel. In this  
mode, a system refers to a set of channels. A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.  
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the radio’s programming, and the  
particular radio system. Most features described in this manual can be enabled through programming.  
Consult the particular features programmed into the P7100IP.  
For further detail about features and operation refer to the appropriate maintenance manual or contact the  
system administrator.  
6.1 WATER RESISTANCE  
The P7100IP series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet  
MIL-STD-810F specifications for driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.

This section describes the primary function of the button and knob controls. Other functions associated  
with these controls are detailed in later sections.  
POWER ON-OFF  
VOLUME KNOB  
Applies power to and adjusts the receiver’s volume. Rotating the control  
clockwise applies power to the radio. A single alert tone (if enabled through  
programming) indicates the radio is operational.  
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. Minimum  
volume levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls  
due to a low volume setting. While adjusting the volume the display will  
momentarily indicate the volume level (i.e. VOL=31). The volume range is  
from a minimum programmed level of zero (displayed as OFF in the  
display) up to 31, which is the loudest level.  
Selects systems or group/channels (depending on programming). This is a  
16-position rotary knob.  
CONTROL KNOB  
Note: A mechanical stop, which can limit the positions accessed, is shipped  
with the radio but must be installed. To install the mechanical stop, remove  
the channel knob, loosen the set screw on the channel knob metal base  
(using a 1.27mm hex wrench), and remove the channel knob metal base.  
Replace the 16 channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the desired  
channel. Reinstall the channel knob metal base, tighten the set screw, and  
reinstall the channel knob.  
Automatically selects the pre-programmed Group/System by pressing and  
holding for a programmed duration. It can also be used to declare an  
emergency by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button  
must be pre-programmed for either operation, but not both.

10.12DIGITAL VOICE OPERATION  
Digital voice programmed systems have three (3) different voice modes: clear (analog), digital, and  
private (encrypted). The voice modes are programmed on a per-group basis within each trunked system  
and on a per-channel basis within each conventional system.  
10.12.1 Clear Mode  
The Clear Mode is a voice mode in which the radio transmits and receives only clear (analog) voice  
signals. These analog signals are non-digitized and non-encrypted. Clear mode transmissions can be  
monitored easily by unauthorized persons.  
Groups or channels programmed for clear operation cannot transmit or receive digital or  
private messages.  
10.12.2 Digital Mode  
The Digital Mode allows the radio to transmit and receive digitized voice signals. Digital signals provide  
improved weak signal performance and cannot be easily monitored with a standard receiver. Groups and  
channels programmed for digital operation transmit only digital signals. Message trunked group calls and  
individual phone calls (I-Calls) are answered back in the mode in which they were received assuming the  
call or hang time is still active. Individual phone, all call, and emergency calls are transmitted clear if the  
digital mode is disabled or inoperative.  
1. If receiving an analog message trunked call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang  
time on the working channel.  
2. If receiving an analog I-Call, the radio responds in the analog mode during the hang time.  
3. When using the *WHC*feature to respond to an I-Call (after the hang time has expired), the call is  
transmitted in the mode defined by the system mode as programmed for the current system if the ID  
being called is not in the I-Call list. If the ID is in the I-Call list, then the call is transmitted as defined  
by the I-Call mode programmed in the list for that ID.  
The overdial DTMF tones are not available while in the Digital Mode.

MM101332V1, Rev. K  
10.12.3 Private Mode  
The Private Mode allows the radio to transmit encrypted messages and receive clear or private  
transmissions. The radio transmits private if the group/channel is programmed for private operation and  
forced operation is pre-programmed. If autoselect operation is pre-programmed and the radio is in the  
Private Mode, the radio transmits in the mode of the received call if the hang time is active. If no hang  
time is active, the radio transmits private.  
Cryptographic keys are transferred to the radio using a cryptographic Keyloader. Up to seven (7) different  
cryptographic keys, numbered 1-7, can be transferred from a Keyloader and stored in the radio. An  
individual key is automatically selected on a per-group/channel basis according to the radio programming.  
Groups and channels within the digital system can be programmed for keys 1-7 (private). Up to 8 banks  
of 7 keys can be stored for private systems. The bank is specified per system.  
When operating on a group or channel programmed for Private Mode, all transmissions are private  
transmissions and the radio receives clear and private signals. The status icon is displayed when the  
Private Mode is enabled. If the selected group or channel is programmed for auto-select capability, the  
mode may be toggled between private and clear with the key, then following the selection mode rules.  
Radios programmed for forced private operation do not allow a change of the transmit mode.  
10.12.3.1  
Displaying the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number  
To Display the Currently Used Cryptographic Key Number 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:  
1. Press the button.  
2. Use the or button to select "DISP KEY."  
3. Then use the or button to toggle between displaying the system key or the group/channel  
key.

10.12.3.2  
Key Zero  
All cryptographic keys can be zeroed (erased from radio memory) by pressing the MONITOR/CLEAR  
button and while still pressing this button, press and hold the OPTION button. Press both buttons for 2  
seconds. A series of beeps will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone  
after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO.  
If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Keyloader into the  
radio before private communications may continue.  
10.12.4 Private Operation  
10.12.4.1  
Receiving an Encrypted Call  
When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private operation. If the transmission  
being received is an encrypted transmission, it will be decrypted, the icon is displayed, the receiver will  
unsquelch and the message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur the selected group or channel  
must be programmed for private operation and the correct cryptographic key must be loaded into the  
radio.  
10.12.4.2  
Transmitting an Encrypted Call  
1. Select the desired group or channel.  
2. Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing key, then follow the selection mode rules. On a  
System radio, the key can be used to toggle the Private Mode ON/OFF. When Private Mode is  
enabled, the icon is displayed.  
If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be enabled on power up. Also,  
the Private Mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio.  
If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, PVT DISwill be displayed if  
an attempt is made to enable private transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel  
in Private Mode.  
If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY#will be displayed and the call  
will not be transmitted.  
3. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access tone will be heard when the  
PTT button is pressed.  
10.12.4.3  
Scanned Group Calls  
Receiving a Scanned Group Call is the same as receiving a selected group call. During the scan hang  
time, if the radio was programmed for autoselect, it will transmit back in the same mode it received the  
call. For example, if a clear group is entered in the scan list, it will only receive clear calls. If the same  
group was available in private and entered in the scan list, it can receive clear and private calls, provided  
autoselect was programmed in the radio. The user can select transmitting on the scanned or selected  
group. If a group is entered in the scan list more than once and in different modes (clear, digital, private),

11 TRUNKED OPERATION  
This section describes P25 Trunked and EDACS operation.  
11.1 SCANNING TRUNKED GROUPS  
Groups that have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis may be scanned. Each  
system's group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is powered OFF or when the battery pack is  
removed.  
The following procedures outline scan operations for trunked groups. See the conventional mode  
operating procedures for specific procedures on conventional channel scanning.  
11.1.1

clockwise to indicate radio is scanning.  
2. Toggle Scan operation OFF by again pressing (Scan model) or (System model). will  
disappear.  
If the radio scans to a group other than the selected group then receives a call on the selected  
group, the radio will switch to the selected group. However, if the “scanned-to” group is  
programmed at a higher priority the radio will remain on the “scanned-to” group.  
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).  
11.1.2  
Adding Groups to a Scan List

11.1.3.3  
Nuisance Delete  
A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing the   
key (Scan model) or the key (System model) during scan operation while the radio is displaying the  
unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if  
done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered  
OFF and then powered ON.  
11.2 SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS  
The radio can be programmed with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically  
enabled when the radio is powered ON. 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 will be maintained through system changes but will default  
to ON when the radio is powered ON.  
11.2.1  
Wide Area System Scanning  
The P7100IP series radios can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across  
mobile systems. 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 will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.  
43

MM101332V1, Rev. K  
11.2.2  
Priority System Scan  
The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or  
preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically  
leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a  
programmable rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control (unless the ProScanalgorithm  
is enabled, as explained in the following sections). This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT  
button is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, (or meets the  
predefined criteria <ProScan>), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system.  
11.2.2.1  
Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function  
If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins to wide area system scan,  
the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area  
scan list.  
11.2.2.2  
When ProScan is Enabled  
The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the criteria defined by the  
controls in the ProScan Options dialog box are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will  
scan for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, located in the ProScan  
Options dialog box.  
11.2.3  
ProScan  
The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications depending  
on the version of radio flash code. ProScan is an improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed  
to replace ProSoundscanning. 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 compares it with the  
signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent 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 degrades to a pre-  
programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a control channel that  
exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone  
(if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, the radio will enter Wide  
Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is  
found.  
11.2.4  
Menu Selection  
Press and then use the or buttons to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is  
displayed. Then press to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ONor SYSC OFFdisplay message  
is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.  
11.2.5  
Pre-Programmed Keypad Key  
Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ONor SYSC OFFdisplay message  
is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

11.3 EMERGENCY OPERATION  
The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency system  
and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through  
programming. When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency  
has been cleared.  
11.3.1  
Receiving an Emergency Call  
When receiving an Emergency Call on the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and is  
displayed. The message *RXEMER*flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is  
cleared.  
11.3.2  
Declaring an Emergency Call  
To send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally pre-programmed group),  
proceed as follows:  
1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for  
approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check  
with the system administrator). The radio will transmit 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 indicating the radio  
has auto keyed (see Table 8-2) and is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER*flashes on line two in  
the display until the emergency is cleared.  
3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. and momentarily turn ON.  
4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete.  
To clear the emergency first press and hold the CLEAR/MONITOR button. While continuing to hold the  
CLEAR/MONITOR button, press the EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed  
to clear emergencies.)  
11.4 INDIVIDUAL CALLS  
11.4.1  
Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call (Trunked Mode Only)  
When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the  
assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of the  
unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The  
radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five  
seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the CLEAR/MONITOR button or  
the individual call mode is entered.  
The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels.

MM101332V1, Rev. K  
If a response is made by pressing the PTT 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 display, and *WHC*will appear on the first line of the LCD.  
To respond after the call-back time-out, press the key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on  
the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an  
individual call back to the original caller.  
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.  
Figure 11-1: Calls Received Lists  
To access this list, press the key twice. Use the or buttons or buttons to scroll  
through the list. Pressing the key will display the time elapsed since the call was received. After  
pressing an example of the display is shown in Figure 11-2:

11.5.3  
Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial/Conventional Mode  
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 Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) access digits.  
Overdial operation can also be used to initiate a telephone interconnect call via DTMF signalling if a dial  
tone has already been accessed on the system. This method makes a telephone interconnect call while  
operating in the conventional mode but will also function 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. These numbers are accessed by pressing , then following the selection mode  
rules. The following steps are required to dial these numbers:

11.7 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION  
Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the P25 Trunked or  
EDACS site. Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to a P25  
Trunked or EDACS site.  
11.7.1  
Status Operation  
To send a status condition, press the key followed by or key to select the pre-programmed  
status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from the menu. If  
STATUS is selected you need to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no  
status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid  
selection will permit the status text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out  
expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out period), the status is selected  
and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a  
future time. Status messages can also be programmed for single key operation so that a single press of a  
key assigned to a status message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not receive the  
status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.  
The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period.  
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the key and then the key  
to ramp to STS, re-press the key again and then the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the  
status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the display.  
11.7.2  
Message Operation  
Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the previous section.  
11.7.3  
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 the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives  
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.  
Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITOR button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the  
dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate  
REGRP_0xwhere "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 will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in  
this condition except for scanned groups.  
11.7.4  
Emergency Operation  
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and  
the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic  
group.

11.7.5  
Macro Key Operation  
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"  
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input  
(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION button, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when  
pressed or when released.  
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key  
is activated.  
For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or  
administrator.  
11.8 PORTABLE DATA  
The P7100IP series portable radios, when operating in the P25 Trunked or EDACS 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, 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 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) may be  
connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio.  
Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or  
received).  
11.8.1  
Displays  
The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation:  
TX DATA  
RX DATA  
DATA OFF  
DATA ON
