high-quality, high-performance FM two-way
communications unit. It is available in either Scan or
System versions. These are Ericsson’s smallest and most
sophisticated high-specification portable radios, designed to
meet worldwide requirements. They utilize custom designed
integrated circuits to set new standards for size and weight
for a high power, high specification two way radio. These
radios are synthesized and can be programmed to operate on
both
EDACS
trunked or conventional communications
systems. Features include:
Compact Size
Designed small and light with rounded edges to fit
comfortably in your hand, while providing
specifications and performance superior to larger,
heavier radios.
Light Weight, Rugged Constructions
Features a molded case made of a polycarbonate blend
surrounding a metal casting. This construction provides
a lightweight yet durable housing designed to withstand
years of rugged use.
High System/Group Capacity
Both the Scan and the System versions can manage up
to 800 different EDACS system/group combinations
with up to 200 conventional channels. EDACS
systems/groups can be configured in many different
ways to meet specific user needs.
Dual Mode Capability

conventional channels, as well as volume and power
control. Knobs are designed with metal protective
sleeves which help prevent bent and broken knobs due
to impact.
Keypad
The back lit keypad allows the user to access the many
radio functions. The 6-button SCAN provides easy
access to preprogrammed telephone and individual
radio ID’s, while the 15-button System keypad expands
this capability, allowing direct entry of these numbers.

keys. A detailed description of the keypads and their
additional function is found in the

The user can alert the dispatcher to an emergency by
pressing a recessed red button located on the top of the
radio which sends user ID and an emergency signal.
Universal Device Connector (UDC)
The UDC provides the PC programmer and optional
accessories access to the radio for ease and versatility of
radio functionality.
Variable Power Control
PC Programmable from 0.5 to 3 watts
Weatherproof
Radios operate reliably under adverse conditions.
These portable radios meet military standards MIL-
810C, D and E specifications for temperature and
pressure extremes, solar radiation, driven rain,
humidity, salt fog, blowing dust, shock and vibration.
Vibration
Meets EIA, U.S. Forest Service and MIL-810
environmental and vibration-stability requirements.
Personality Programming
Can easily be hooked up to a personal computer in the
field, to allow system and radio parameters to be
flexibly programmed as requirements change, without
changing parts or opening the radio case.
