WELCOME TO THE MOTOROLA RADIUS P200 RADIO The Radius P200 Portable Radio is a sophisticated state-of-the- art unit. It incorporates the latest technology available in two-way radio communications. The use of microcomputer technology makes changing radio characteristics such as operating frequencies and squelch codes both economical and fast.
When you receive your packaged P200 Radio, inspect the shipping carton for any signs of damage. Next, remove and check the contents of the packing case to be certain that all items ordered have been included. Contents of the packing case may be different from those listed if optional accessories were ordered.

Note that even in the carrier squelch mode the Quik-Call II decoder is active and will respond to a valid Quik-Call II code. The radio will emit an interrupted alert tone on receiving a valid code. Time-Out-Timer (60 second) The Time-Out-Timer (T.O.T.) feature aler ts the user if the transmitter is keyed for a long period.

Channel Scan (Lowband Models Only) This option allows you to monitor a number of channels; the receiver checks each channel in a continuous cycle for activity. The channels to be scanned are user programmable. Channel scan is offered in two modes of operation, non-priority and priority scan.
Page 31
Talk-Back Scan This is a standard feature of the channel scan options listed above. When transmit or receive activity ceases on a scan channel, a “dwell time” of approximately three seconds occurs prior to the radio resuming scan for other channel activity. This “dwell time”...
Page 33
A maximum of six channel scan positions are available. P200 Lowband radios with the scan option are not shipped programmed with scan channels. The scan list is programmed by the user. The user programming feature may be disabled and programming allowed through the radio service software.

For additional information on batteries and battery charging, refer to the battery charger information in the maintenance manual. Short Circuit Care should be taken to avoid external short-circuiting of the battery. A sustained high rate discharge (e.g., a paper clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.

TRANSMIT WHILE THE RADIO IS IN THE CHARGER. For Single-Unit and Multi-Unit Rapid-Char ge Battery Chargers Only: When charging a P200 battery, the green light will turn on when charging is complete. If both lights flash when the battery is inserted in the charger, there is an open or short circuit in the battery.

If you experience difficulty, check the following items before requesting service. Review steps under OPERATION. Be sure the frequency select switch is set to the correct channel. Replace or recharge the battery. If reception is poor, check the antenna. It must be undamaged and operated in the vertical position for best reception.

If any operational difficulties should arise, report them to your Radius dealer. Proper repair and maintenance procedures will assure efficient operation and long life for this radio.
Avoid physical abuse of your radio such as carrying it by the antenna or remote microphone. Wipe the battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt, grease, or other material which may prevent good electrical connections. The antenna jack is fitted with a protective cap which should be left in place when the jack is not being used.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with its action in General Docket 79-144, March 13, 1985 has adopted a safety standard for the human exposure to radio frequency (rf) electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-regulated equipment. Proper operation of this radio will result in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
