6 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the P7100 IP series portable radio. The P7100 IP 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 P7100
IP
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 P7100
IP
.
For further detail about features and operation refer to the appropriate maintenance manual or contact the
system administrator.
