DESCRIPTION
The DPE-100 is a synthesized, microprocessor-based,
high performance duplex portable FM radio designed to
optimize telephone interconnect functionality on EDACS
systems. The lightweight DPE-100 provides reliable
Telephone Interconnect operation in Enhanced Digital
Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking
environments. Duplex is provided in EDACS trunked
environments while operating in the Telephone Interconnect
Mode. Dispatch features such as group calls along with
conventional operation is not offered.
The DPE-100 radio is manufactured with advanced
state-of-the-art technology and designed with a minimum of
serviceable parts. It is not practical to service the radio to
component level (in the field). Technicians servicing this
radio should only be concerned with isolating a problem to
software or hardware. Repair is limited to reloading
software or replacing the circuit board. There are no
alignments or adjustments to be made. This manual
provides the instructions for:
•• basic radio operation
•• programming the radio personality and flash code
•• isolating a problem to hardware or software
•• disassembling the radio and replacing the circuit
board

Infinitybattery technology and provides up to 40 hours of
standby on a single charge. The DPE offers all the duplex
interconnect features in a cellular telephone including:
• full duplex interconnect
• familiar telephone - style keypad
• 99-number redial
• last number redial for fast, effortless use
• call length timer
• two-line, 10-character alphanumeric display that's
backlit for nighttime use

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
• Keep the exterior of the radio clean. Use a soft damp
cloth.
• To ensure efficient power transfer from the battery to
the radio, periodically wipe the contacts of the battery
and radio to remove dirt or grease. Use a soft dry cloth.
• If it becomes necessary to install a belt clip, please
note; it is not possible to remove the belt clip
from an Extra High Capacity Battery without
damaging the belt clip or the battery. There is
not a problem removing the belt clip from High
and Medium Capacity batteries.
• Do not carry the radio by the antenna. Do not use
chemical cleaners, spray or petroleum based
products. They may damage the radio housing.

PERSONALITY PROGRAMMING
The EDACS-2 PC Programmer (TQ-3373) version 7or
later is used to edit, read or write the personality to the DPE-
100 radio. A personality is simply a computer file generated
(created) by the user of the EDACS-2 program. The
computer file (or personality) is downloaded into the radio
and contains data that will direct certain operating
characteristics of the radio unit.
The EDACS-2 PC Programming software
communicates with the radio through the Troubleshoot Box
(item 1 in the equipment list). Figure 10 provides a diagram
of the Equipment Setup required to PC Program the radio.
Refer to the PC Programming manual (TQ-3373) for
detailed software operating instruction.
If it becomes necessary to "Swap" the entire software
(personality and flash) from one radio to another, the TEK
Utility Software is used. With this process a personality
from a known good radio is downloaded to the radio in
question. However the TEK Utility cannot be used to edit
or read the personality. For more details on the TEK Utility
Software, see the FLASH PROGRAMMING Section .
Personality Programming Mode
The EDACS-2 PC Programmer cannot communicate
with the radio unless the radio is in the Programming Mode.
To place the DPE-100 radio in Programming Mode:
1. Locate PERS PROG from the user menu.
2. Press the MNU key.
3. Radio indicates programming mode by displaying
“PROGRAM”.
FLASH PROGRAMMING
The "FLASH" software is the current version of the
DPE-100 operating software. Upgrades to the Operating
Software can be Flashed to the radio.
The FLASH software is loaded into the radio using a
Personal Computer, the TEK Box (item 2 from the
equipment list) and the TEK Utility Software. The TEK
Utility Software can be used to swap the entire software
(Personality and FLASH) from one radio to another or, the
TEK Utility Software can be used to write the Flash from
disk to radio.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The DPE-100 radio contains only one circuit board.
With the exception of the microphone and antenna, all
components are contained on a single circuit board. This
includes the electrical part of the keypad, the LCD and the
speaker.
As mentioned previously, service to this radio is limited
to replacing the circuit board or a miscellaneous part not
attached to the board. The objective of this section is to
guide in quickly isolating a problem to either software,
hardware or mechanical.
Follow the Troubleshooting flowchart on the following
page. If the problem is software, the problem is fixed by
downloading new software. If the problem is hardware, the
problem is fixed by replacing the circuit board. If the
problem is mechanical, the problem is fixed by replacing the
failed part.

2. Remove the battery from the radio.
3. Remove the antenna from the radio.
4. From the back of the radio, remove the (4) screws using
a No. 6 TORXdriver. See Figure 20.
5. Separate the front cover from the metal frame as shown
in Figure 21.
Circuit Board Removal
1. Use a small flatblade screwdriver (or your thumb), and
slip the two metal tabs at (A) back away from the circuit
board. Carefully work with each side to slip the board
out from under the metal tabs. See Figure 21.
2. Once the circuit board is out from under the metal tabs
at (A), slowly lift the bottom of the board out of the
metal frame and down, away from the metal tab at(B).
ASSEMBLY
Circuit Board Installation
1. Carefully place the circuit board on the metal frame.
Speaker should face away from the metal frame.
2. Be sure antenna contact/connector is aligned properly in
the metal frame and not bent.
3. Slip the top of the circuit board under the metal tab at
(B). Next, using a small flat blade screwdriver (or your
thumb) work with both sides of the board to slip the
metal tabs at (A) over the board. Press gently on the
board at all three tab location to be sure the tabs have
locked in place, securing the board. See Figure 21.
Radio Assembly
