INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the DPE-100
Portable Radio. The DPE-100 is a synthesized, micro-
processor-based, high performance duplex portable FM
radio providing reliable two-way communications in En-
hanced Digital Access Communications System
(EDACS) trunking environments.
Duplex is provided in EDACS systems while operat-
ing in the Telephone Interconnect Mode. In an EDACS
trunked environment the user selects a communications
system.In this mode, channel selection is transparent to
the user and is controlled via digital communication with
the system controller. This provides advanced program-
mable features and fast access to communication chan-
nels.

the particular radio system. Most features described in
this manual may be enabled or disabled through pro-
gramming. Consult the system administrator for the re-
quired features to be programmed into the radio.

The display illumination comes on. All the status
indicators and all the segments in the alphanumeric and
numeric fields in the display will flash 3 times.
The radio’s LID number is displayed briefly.
A battery level indicator is shown in the upper right
corner of the display. This can be a value from B0 to B5
in proportion to the battery’s voltage level. You can read
more about this in the chapter
Batteries and Recharg-
ing
.
OnceserviceisavailablefromanEDACSsystem,the
SERV (Service) indicator comes on, together with a
signal strength meter and the CC SCAN goes off in the
display. This meter indicates the relative signal strength
by displaying from 0 to 5 "bars" ,with the number of bars
being proportional to the signal strength.

Note the following points:
•If the SERV indicator does not come on, you have
lost contact with the EDACS system and cannot,
therefore, place or receive any calls. Refer to
