Alert Tone Indicators P110 Portable Radios

Alert Tone Indicators

Power-Up

Each time the radio is turned on, a microcomputer and syn-thesizer self-test occurs. A high pitched alert tone is gener-ated for approximately 1/8 second to indicate that themicrocomputer and synthesizer are functioning properly. Asecond low pitched tone is generated if the start-up test isnot successful.

Transmit on Blank or Receive-Only Channels

Pressing the PTT button whiletuned to a blank or “receive-only” channel causes an alerttone. The tone continues aslong as the PTT button isdepressed. The radio transmit-ter is not enabled.

Transmit Inhibition Busy Channel with Busy ChannelLockout

Pressing the PTT button during a “busy channel” condition(other than your PL/DPL group) generates a continuousbusy tone that lasts as long as the button is depressed.

Time-Out Timer

The time-out timer limits theamount of transmission timeto a preset length (off, 30 or60 seconds). At the end ofthis time an alert tone indi-cates that your transmissionhas been cut off. The alertwill continue as long as thePTT switch is depressed.

5. If programmed as a Volume Set Button (manual moni-tor), the radio has the ability to monitor until the buttonis released. While pressed, a “rushing noise” will bepresent which indicates the current level setting of thevolume control.

NOTEAll P110 radio models have an internal squelchsetting which is adjusted at the factory. Thesquelch level setting is not a user-operated con-trol; however, it may be reprogrammed usingthe Radio Service Software available at yourlocal Motorola Radius dealer.

To Transmit

1. Set the channel selector to the desired channel position.

2. Do not interrupt another user. Listen for activity on yourchannel. If the channel on which you are transmitting isprogrammed to receive PL/DPL, momentarily depressthe control button to listen for channel activity. Thechannel must be clear before transmitting.

3. While holding the radio in a vertical position with thespeaker-microphone grille two to three inches fromyour mouth, press the PTT button on the side of theradio and speak slowly and clearly into the grille area.When finished transmitting, release the PTT button toreceive.

Operation with Standard Features P110 Portable Radios

Operation with Standard FeaturesTo fit your particular needs, a number of features are avail-able to enhance the operation of your P110 radio. Thesecapability features are described for you in this section.

Time-Out Timer

The Time-Out Timer (T.O.T) feature alerts you if the trans-mitter is keyed for a long period. This feature prevents chan-nel tie-up and excess battery drain in case of an inadvertentkeying of the transmitter. The radio operates normally in thereceive mode with the T.O.T. feature. However, in the trans-mit mode, a single transmission (uninterrupted depressionof the PTT button) “times-out” after 30 or 60 seconds andthe radio reverts back to the receive mode, even with thePTT button remaining depressed. After the 30 or 60 secondtime out, a continuous alert tone is generated in the receivemode until the PTT button is released.

Volume Set

When programmed as a Vol-ume Set button, the Controlbutton will initiate the volumeset feature. This gives theradio the ability to monitor thecurrent radio volume levelwhenever this button ispressed. A “rushing noise” ispresent for the duration of thebutton press that indicates thecurrent level setting of the vol-ume control.

P110 Portable Radios Operation with Standard Features

Busy Channel Lockout

Busy Channel Lockout is a privacy feature that prevents theradio from listening to or transmitting over conversationsoutside its talkgroup, keeping lines of communication clear.Whenever the radio is not allowed to talk, you will hear busytone if you attempt to transmit. The radio will be allowed totransmit:

1. when the channel is clear

2. during the group's repeater hang time, until a carrierdrop is seen

3. when receiving transmissions from your own group(Common PL/DPL code).

Whenever a channel is programmed for PL/DPL busy chan-nel lockout, pressing the Control button does not put theradio into the carrier squelch mode. This means that theradios with PL/DPL busy channel lockout programmed can-not monitor or listen to the other groups' transmissions. Fur-thermore, the volume set function is also disabled on anychannel that is preprogrammed as a PL/DPL busy channellockout channel.

On carrier squelch channels, Transmit Inhibit is available toprohibit transmissions when any carrier is present.

P110 Portable Radios Optional Enhancements

Optional Enhancements(Not Available on 2 Channel Models)Channel Scan

This optional feature allows you to monitor a number of chan-nels. The receiver checks each channel in a preprogrammedlist for activity (up to 7 channels on the 8 channel model).Two types of channel scan are offered in the P110; non-prior-ity and priority scan. Both types of channel scan are availablewith PL/DPL operation. To initiate the scan feature, rotate thechannel selector switch to the channel in which scan is pro-grammed. If a conversation is initiated on any of the channelsthat the radio is scanning, the radio stops on the active chan-nel and you can listen to the conversation.

NOTEThe P110 scan list is not operator selectable;however, it may be reprogrammed through theRadio Service Software available at your localMotorola Radius dealer.

• Non Priority Channel ScanWith this type of scan operation, no one scan channel has pri-ority over another. The scanner stops on the first scan channelwith activity, and when the activity is over and a 3-second"hang-time" has expired, proceeds to the next scan channel.

• Priority Channel ScanAny one of the radio's programmed channels may be desig-nated as the priority channel. Whenever activity occurs onthe priority channel, the scanner automatically stops thereand the priority alert tone is heard. Even if you are listeningto another channel in the scan list, the radio automaticallygoes to the priority channel when there is activity.

• PL/DPL Channel ScanPrivate-Line operation is offered with priority and non-priority channel scan. With this mode of scanning opera-tion, the scanner stops on only the scan channels codedwith the proper PL/DPL tone if PL/DPL signalling is activewhen you initiate scan.

NOTEIf the monitor mode is not active when the scan-ning feature is initiated, the radio performs a PLtype of scan. If the monitor mode is active whenthe scanning feature is initiated, the radio per-forms a CSQ type of scan.

Optional Enhancements P110 Portable Radios

• Talkback ScanThis is an option of the channel scan features listed onpage 19 that is used when the PTT button is pressedwhen scanning has stopped on a channel. When transmitor receive activity ceases on a scan channel, a "hangtime" of approximately 3 seconds occurs prior to the radioresuming scan for other channel activity. This "hang time"gives you time to receive or respond to a call before scan-ning resumes. The "hang-time" is programmable throughthe Radio Service Software available at your localMotorola Radius Dealer.

• Designated Channel Scan (Home Revert)Pressing the PTT button while the radio is scanningcauses the radio to transmit on the preprogrammed desig-nated channel location. This channel location is program-mable through the Radio Service Software available atyour local Motorola Radius Dealer.

NOTEIf both Designated Channel Scan and TalkbackScan are selected, the radio transmits on the activechannel. If however, there are no active channels,the radio transmits on the Designated Channel.

• Scan Talkback ToneThe Scan Talkback Tone feature enables you to find thelast active channel received during scan mode. A beep isemitted when the channel selector knob is rotated to thelast channel received during scan.

• Scan Nuisance DeleteWhen a conversation occurs and it is not your prioritychannel or designated scan channel, you can temporarilyeliminate this channel from thescan list by pressing the sideControl button (if the Control but-ton is programmed for Scan Nui-sance Delete). To add the deletedchannel back to the pre-pro-grammed scan list, you must exitand reenter the scan function.

NOTEThe Volume Set feature is replaced wheneverthe side control button is programmed to oper-ate the Scan Nuisance Delete feature.

Signalling Enhancements

Quik-Call II Decoding

Call AlertCall Alert works similarly to tone-only pagers. When a CallAlert (page) is received, a series of 4 beep decode tonesare heard while the LED flashes yellow. The LED continuesflashing yellow and alert tone continues until the call alert isacknowledged by the radio. If you transmit by pushing thePTT button or change the rotary channel selector while aCall Alert signal is in progress, the LED stops flashing andthe Call Alert tone is disabled.

Voice Selective CallThis feature operates like a standard pager providing a one-time voice message. When a Voice Selective Call isreceived by the radio, a one-time 2 beep decode tone isheard while the LED flashes yellow. The radio unmutes andthe voice message is heard. The LED continues flashingyellow while the voice message is heard. The Voice Selec-tive Call feature does not require any action to acknowledgethe message and after the transmission is completed, theradio returns to normal operation.

MDC-1200 Encoding

PTT IDWhen on a channel with the PTT ID feature, the radio trans-mits an identification code (unit ID) to the base station, indi-cating which portable is in operation. This code is sentwhenever the PTT button is pressed. A sidetone is heard asthe ID is being transmitted; when the tone ends, start yourvoice message in the standard manner. The LED glows redduring the time that the ID is sent out.

Signalling and Channel ScanSignalling and channel scan are compatible in the P110radio. However, during scan operation, a Voice SelectiveCall on a particular channel could be missed since the radiomay not be checking that channel when the Voice SelectiveCall is being sent.It is recommended that priority scan be selected and the sig-nalling channel be designated the priority channel to improvethe likelihood that the Voice Selective Call is received.

Battery Information P110 Portable Radios

Battery Information

The P110 radio receives itspower (7.5V DC) from arechargeable nickel-cadmiumbattery as listed in the accesso-ries section. These batteries,designed specifically for use inthe P110 radio, are a safe,dependable power source.Proper care of the battery willensure its effectiveness andallow for peak performance ofthe radio.

Recharging Nickel-Cadmium Batteries

Recharge the battery before useto ensure optimum capacity andperformance. The battery wasdesigned to be used only with aMotorola P110 charger. Charg-ing in non-Motorola equipmentmay lead to battery damage andvoid the battery warranty.

NOTEWhen charging a battery that is attached to aradio, always turn the radio off to ensure a fullcharge.

Charging Temperature

The battery should be about 77° (roomtemperature) whenever possible. Charginga cold battery (below 50°F) may result inleakage of electrolyte, and ultimately, infailure of the battery. Charging a hot bat-tery (about 95° F) results in reduced dis-charge capacity, affecting the performanceof the radio. P110 rapid rate battery charg-ers contain a temperature sensing circuit
