OPERATION

The LPE-200series of portable radios is designed for EDACS and conventional mode operation. When the unit is used in a trunked EDACS, the digital control channel is automatically monitored. When the user initiates a call, the unit sends a digital request through a control channel to the site controller. The site controller then assigns the calling radio and all members of the talk group to an available working channel. All operations in EDACS configurations are supported from a single-site system to wide-area trunking networks.

For more detailed operating instructions refer to Operator’s Manual AE/LZT 123 1868.

In the conventional mode, the Clear/Monitor button functions are:

1)to unsquelch the receiver to allow channel monitoring prior to transmission.

2)to remove Channel Guard Decoding from a channel.

∙Option Button

The weather-sealed option button activates one of a number of programmable software options selected

during PC programming. Programmable options include high/low power setting, keypad lock, LCD contrast, LCD and keypad back lighting.

CONTROLS

The radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button mounted on the top of the radio, with side-mounted push-to-talk, monitor/clear and option buttons. The front-mounted keypad has 6 buttons on the Scan and 15 buttons on the System (refer to Figure 1).
