Page 3: Maximum Permissible Exposure (Mpe) Limits
MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE (MPE) LIMITS RADIO OPERATOR WARNING Do not transmit with this radio and antenna when persons are within the MPE Radius of the antenna, unless such persons (such as the driver or radio operator) are shielded from the antenna field by a grounded metallic barrier (such as the user’s vehicle rooftop). -
Page 4: Safety Training Information
This radio has been examined and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits when persons are beyond the MPE radius of the antenna. In addition, your Com-Net Ericsson 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: •... - Page 5 ENSURE THAT YOUR EXPOSURE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY IS WITHIN THE FCC ALLOWABLE LIMITS 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 you to exceed FCC RF exposure limits.

Page 6: Transmitter Hazards
Transmitter Hazards The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmitters. A list of several possible hazards is given: 1. Explosive Atmospheres - Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, similar hazards exist when operating a mobile radio. -
Page 7: Safe Driving Recommendations
SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS (Recommended By AAA) • Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio. • Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone in its hanger whenever the vehicle is in motion. • Place calls only when vehicle is stopped. •... -
Page 8: Operating Rules And Regulations
OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local, regional, or national government. In the United States, the P 300M mobile radio must be operated in ANTHER accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). -
Page 9: Operating Tips
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. •... -
Page 10: Introduction
INTRODUCTION This manual describes the operation for the Com-Net Ericsson P ANTHER 300M mobile radio. The P 300M mobile radio is a high performance ANTHER FM mobile radio providing reliable two-way communication in a Conventional radio system. The P 300M mobile radio can be programmed with six channels. -

RADIO INDICATORS Figure 1 – P 300M mobile radio Front View ANTHER Controls All the controls for the P 300M mobile radio are located on the front of ANTHER the control unit and described below: ON/OFF Volume Knob This knob powers the radio ON/OFF and controls the volume level of the received audio at the speaker. -
Page 12: Option Button Functions
Option 1 Button This button can be programmed with a programmable function. The default function is "Monitor/Clear". Option 2 Button This button can be programmed with a programmable function. The default function is "Disabled". Option Status LEDs The two Option Status LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) indicate the state of the radio. - Page 13 Local/Distant Squelch The Local/Distant Squelch function toggles the channel squelch setting between “Local” and “Distant”. “Local” squelch reduces the number of received degraded transmissions. ”Distant" squelch increases the number of received transmissions. Type 99 ON/OFF The Type 99 function toggles the state of the Type 99 Decoder between “ON”...

Page 14: Hookswitch Functions
External/Internal Speaker The Internal/External Speaker function toggles the receive audio between the “Internal” and “External” speaker. "External" activates the speaker relay so the receive audio goes to the external speaker. "Internal" does not activate the speaker relay so the receive audio goes to the internal speaker. Hookswitch Functions Hookswitch functions are programmable and vary according to the radio personality. -

Page 18: Channel Guard
Channel Guard Channel Guard is a method of reducing "channel chatter" by equipping receivers with tone-responsive devices, which only allow calls with the correct sub-audible tones to be heard by the user. Channel Guard options and parameters are defined in the radio personality. The radio can be programmed on a per-channel basis to encode and/or decode Channel Guard tones. -
Page 19: Sending Dtmf With The Dtmf Microphone
Sending DTMF With The DTMF Microphone The optional DTMF microphone allows the radio to send DTMF signaling. DTMF may be used in a radio system to access a telephone line or to perform system control functions. 1. Select a channel. DTMF must be enabled on the channel. 2. -
Page 20: Selective Signaling
TX/RX LED. Monitor mode Without Carrier Monitor mode With Carrier Type 99 Operation Type 99 is Com-Net Ericsson’s proprietary method for in-band, two-tone sequential signaling. Type 99 is a conventional signaling protocol that controls the muting and unmuting of a radio. - Page 21 If Type 99 is enabled in the radio personality, the radio can decode Individual, Group and Supergroup Type 99 calls. See Table 3 for radio indicator information for each of these types of calls. Resetting Type 99 After A Call After decoding a Type 99 call, the radio operates in Monitor mode and all traffic on the channel is audible.

Page 22: Programmable Ptt Functions
PROGRAMMABLE PTT FUNCTIONS Channel Busy Lockout The radio may be programmed with the Channel Busy Lockout feature, which denies the use of the transmitter when the channel is busy with traffic. If the PTT button is pressed while the TX/RX LED is ON, the radio will emit an alert tone until the PTT is released. -
