BASIC DATA
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT P500
P500 is a portable radio station, intended for bidirectional transfer of speech
within private mobile radio systems of the type MRS 3000 / 5000.
The portable can also send status in the system, not receive.
A typical P500 feature is that each station can be programmed individually
with regard to the station’s function in the specific MRS network as well as to
use of buttons, indicators and symbols and the design of texts and symbols in
the display window. Consequently, each station can be optimally adapted to
specific communication requirements and to individual requirements on simple
use. All programming is executed by Ericsson Mobile Communications or one
of the distributors by means of standard PC equipped with special software.
In addition to the individual programming, P500 is characterized by its rugged
design which guarantees satisfactory function even in enviroments with
extreme heat, extreme cold or high humidity. The console is made of impact
resistant light-weight metal.
Important !
As a consequence of the above, this manual does not describe the individual
programming and use of individual stations. Only the basic operation is
described.

TYPICAL MRS FUNCTIONS
INDVIDUAL CALL
Individual call refers to calls to individual radio stations. A called-up station has
a specific call number, similar to the specific telephone number of a telephone
unit. Your P500 may have up to three individual call numbers.
The tone receivers are called I, J & K in the P500 Coach Program !
GROUP CALL
A group number is a 5-digit call number that has been programmed in several
radio stations to make it possible for, for example, the base to call them all at
the same time. When a group call is received, all members of the group can
hear what is said on the channel in use.
Your P500 station may be programmed to receive calls on three different
group numbers, meaning, for example, that you may belong to three different
working teams.
The tone receivers are called S, L & M in the P500 Coach Program !
OPEN MONITORING
”Open monitoring” means that you can listen continuously to radio traffic on
one channel with your station whilst at the same time being ready to receive
calls on other channels, if there is no carrier on the selected channel. Turn on
the function on/off with the key LS.
WHC CALL
If your station is on but you do not answer an incoming call, the station may
receive and store the call number of the calling station. The function is called
WHC (”Who Has Called ?”).
Your station can store as many as 15 WHC calls. A specific number is only
stored once, even if the same calling party sends several WHC calls. When
your station has received a WHC call, the symbol ”arrow up & down” on the
display flashes.

P500 USER MANUAL 7(13)
STATUS
With your P500 station, you may readily transmit an optional or preset status
code to, for example, the base. Each status code consists of a number
between 0 and 99 and may have the meaning ”work completed”,
”out for lunch”, ”ready for new job”, etc.
Generally, the destination number for status calls, e.g. the call number of the
base, is factory-set.
CHANNELS AND CHANNEL GROUPS
In radio systems of the type MRS 3000 / 5000, the word channel is also used
to refer to a channel group comprising several channels. When you
communicate via channel a group, the system selects a suitable channel
within the group.

OPERATION BASICS
MAIN MENU
When your P500 station is in stand-by mode, the display shows a main menu
which may for example look like the figure on page 3.
INCOMING CALL
On an incoming individual call, press the T/R button and answer the call. The
station’s microphone and loudspeaker are located next to each other,
immediately below the numeric keys. Hold the station 10 to 15 cm from your
mouth when speaking.
At an incoming group call, you will hear the voice of the calling party in the
loudspeaker immediately. Normally, you do not have to answer the call.
OUTGOING CALL
To effect an outgoing call, enter the call number and press the function button
immediately below the symbol ”Arrow up”. If you want to retrieve the call
number from, for example, the list of abbreviated numbers or the WHC queue,
press the function key under the respective symbol; the display then changes
to a submenu with further instructions.
