Mobility Management
Confidential Page 6
Mobility Events
Subscriber mobility refers to the capabilities of a radio system to
maintain system services to a roaming community of subscribers. In
a single-site system, this is simple.
In a multi-site system, a variety of techniques and capabilities are
needed to ensure system services can be maintained for all
subscribers as they roam between multiple sites.

Confidential Page 7
Radio Registration/Affiliation
Subscriber registration is how the radio system knows which
subscribers are currently active on a system. Subscriber radios send
registration messages when certain operational events (mobility
events) occur. A site uses registration to know which subscriber
units are within range of and are active at the site
At registration, the system checks the validity of a unit and the unit’s
selected talkgroup, and then affiliates the unit with a site.
Out of Range indicators remind you to register on the correct site.
Confidential Page 8
Radio Registration/Affiliation
The following subscriber events result in a radio registration in the IP25
system:
• Subscriber Power-on
• Site or Talkgroup Change via Subscriber selector knob
• Push-to-Talk (PTT)
• Request-to-Talk (RTT) (Conservation Officers only)
• Emergency Alarm Transmission

Confidential Page 9
Talk Groups
Talkgroups are a method of further organizing subscribers on a
conventional fixed radio site. Using the IP25 System software, an
administrator can create subscribers on the system. Talkgroups can
then be created and subscribers assigned to these talkgroups.
Using talkgroups, the system will transmit information in the packets,
along with the voice, that identify the talkgroup. When received by a
subscriber radio, the radio checks to determine if the talkgroup
transmission is for that radio.
If the receiving radio belongs to the same talkgroup as the
transmission, then the receiving radio’s speaker is turned on and the
operator can hear the transmission.
Only subscriber units that belong to the talkgroup can hear the
transmission.

Out Of Range
The Out of Range (OOR) Indication is used to facilitate roaming of
subscriber units across the system. Each radio will be programmed
to monitor the frequency associated with the talkgroup and site
selected by the radio.
If there is a lack of activity the radio will give an “Out of Range”
indication that is audible, visual or both to the radio user. Or in other
words when a radio is out of coverage range of a site it will be
indicated to the user.
Currently the mobile will give a visual and audible indication the radio is
out of range. The portable radios will give a visual indication the
radio is out of range.

Out Of Range
When out of range, the subscriber must move back in range of the
original site or move to another site area.
If moving to another site area, it will be necessary for the subscriber to
change their radio settings to another site and if need be another
zone for the new area.
Changing Sites
Radios will transmit a data registration to the system when the site
selector knob is changed. This registration will cause an implicate
registration, meaning a mobility update function call would be made.
In this manner, an “in range” unit is always located and registered on a
site in the system.
When a call is transmitted to the unit, the system knows the site where
the unit is registered and can so direct the call to that specific site.

De-Registration
When a radio is not in use it should be turned off. Otherwise the system
will send a call to the site where the radio is registered, potentially
using up system resources needlessly.
Those with quick mount brackets should also turn the radio off before
removing it from the bracket.
Subscriber units will send a de-registration request when the radio unit
is powered off or when the subscriber makes a site change (site
selector control) on their radio.
The subscriber talkgroup affiliation will be removed from the local site
database and also sent to all other sites.
Radio Inhibit/Uninhibit
A system administrator has the capability to remotely disable a
subscriber unit from the System Administrator Console. This
provides a way for a lost, stolen, or compromised radio unit to be
disabled. An inhibited radio cannot receive or transmit on the
system.
A system administrator also has the capability to uninhibit any
previously inhibited radios.

To Transmit
Select the desired zone and site.
Listen for a clear site and proceed with your call.
Press and hold the PTT button to transmit. The LED will turn red. When
speaking keep you microphone 1 – 2” from your mouth.
Release the PTT to receive.
PTT ID Displayed
PTT ID provides a programmed identification for each radio unit. This
ID is transmitted each time the radio unit’s PTT button is pressed.
When you receive a transmission the Unit ID of the transmitting radio
will be displayed.
If you miss the unit ID because the transmission stopped you can press
the unit call button and it will display the last ID received.

Out of Range
When in the Conventional Digital P25 mode and you lose your receive
RF signal you will get a Tone and/or “Out Of Rng” Display.
(Currently Yukon Govt will be display only.)
Out of Range
EFJohnson radios support an "Out-of-Range" notification feature which
is enabled in the configuration software.
Remember Mobility Management
POSSIBLE FUTURE USE
When enabled, the radio will monitor the currently selected site. If the
radio sees no site activity for the configurable period of time, it will
emit a tone to notify the user that the radio is out of the coverage
range for the currently selected site.
The radio will continue to emit this tone after each full interval that the
radio remains out of coverage.

Low Battery
Will “Chirp” When PTT is depressed.
When approaching the limits of radio range, the other party may not be
able to hear your transmissions.
You may still be out of range even though you can hear a message.
The reason for this is that the signal you are receiving is usually
transmitted at a higher power level than the one transmitted by your
transceiver.
Communication may be improved by moving to higher ground, away
from shielding objects such as tall buildings or hills, or changing to
another site.

If “UNPROGRAMD” is displayed, the cause could be any of the
following:
• An unprogrammed site is selected. Select a programmed site.
• The selected site is programmed for an option that is not installed
or an error in programming was detected. The radio needs to be
reprogrammed.
51SL ES Low Battery Indicators
A chirp or tone sounds once a minute in the standby and transmit
modes.
The top panel LED indicator flashes red every 30 seconds in the
receive mode.

51 SL ES Battery Replacement
A low-battery condition is indicated by the icon in the display. The
battery should be recharged or replaced as soon after this indication
appears. Once this indication appears, it stays on until power is
cycled.
51 SL ES User Troubleshooting
If the transceiver is not responding to any key presses, the keypad may
be locked.
When a button is pressed you will hear an error tone and Kypd Lockd
will be displayed briefly.
The Keypad Lock feature temporarily disables the front panel keys to
prevent accidental key presses.
YUKON Govt. – A: Unlocked
B: Locked

If no characters appear in the display, the battery may be discharged or
defective. Try another battery.
If some other problem is occurring, turn power off and then on again to
reset the control logic. Also make sure that the controls are properly
set.
If it still does not operate correctly, return it for service.
NOTE: There are no user-serviceable components in the
transceiver.
53 SL ES Battery Discharge
In the standby mode (power on, not transmitting), transceiver power
consumption is relatively low.
Therefore, you can probably leave the transceiver on for one or two
days without operating the vehicle and the battery should not
become seriously discharged.
However, if the outdoor temperature is low enough to significantly
decrease battery capacity, the transceiver should be turned off when
not in use. Since power consumption is significantly higher when
transmitting, it is good practice to have the vehicle running while
transmitting.
This ensures that optimum power is being delivered to the transceiver
and that the battery does not become discharged.

If some other problem is occurring, turn power off and then on again to
reset the control logic. Also make sure that the controls are properly
set and that the power, external speaker, and accessory cables (if
used) are securely plugged into the back of the transceiver.
If the transceiver is completely inoperative, have maintenance look at
radio.

Radio Maintenance Procedures

Points to Remember
Quick Reference Guides

Making Calls
Scanning
EFJohnson radios support site and/or Talkgroup scanning which lets
users listen for call activity on a number of pre-configured sites
and/or Talkgroups (when not transmitting).
If the user presses the PTT button to respond to site activity on one of
the scanned sites, the radio will temporarily switch the transmitter to
the scanned site so the reply will go back to the same site and
talkgroup for which the scanning has been temporarily halted for
activity.
After 3 sec., the radio transmitter will be reverted back to the currently
selected site and talkgroup while the receiver resumes scanning.

Scanning
Scanning monitors for traffic on different sites.
Yukon Public Service: Telephone, Interop1, MDMRS (ONLY when
MDMRS is in use) & other analog channels depending on your user
group requirements, for example: Transportation Maintenance
radios have LADD channels, Community Nursing scans the inter-
connect channel
The radio automatically enables scan upon power-up or site change.
Press the scan button to turn scanning off.
Press and hold the scan button to temporarily disable a site.
To return the temporary disabled site back into scan list, cycle radio off
/ on or cycle scan off / on.

Interoperability (I/O) Talkgroups
Each site has a dedicated I/O Talkgroup that will allow emergency
communications across ALL Agencies on that SITE. These
Talkgroups are only used for quick messages or hailing site to direct
the required agencies to either Interop2 or Interop 3 Talkgroups for
longer communications.
IO1 and InterOp2, 3 is for emergency use but also normal interagency
calls. For example if Highways needs to talk to Property
Management about anything they would still use InterOp.
TG lock over rides the settings of interoperability talkgroups
and simplex channels. Make sure TG lock is disabled before
going to an interoperability talkgroup or simplex channel.

Select Highway Zone using Up/Down arrow key
Select Site using top selector knob
Select IO1-xxxx Talkgroup - use F4 key and Up/Down arrow key, press
F4 to select.
Press PTT and voice call the required agency
Responding to an Interop1 Call
Upon completion of traffic on the IO1 Talkgroup you will have 3
seconds to respond with a PTT before the radio resumes scanning.
If you miss that window follow the IO1 call procedure just discussed.
Users need to remember that replying to an InterOp call which they
have scanned to, deregisters them from their normal talkgroup on
that site.
After the IO1 call, they need to key up the radio on their normal TG to
re-register on the system. Failing to do so will result in missed calls.

Interoperability
Telecom Services with input from users has made provisions in the system
configuration for interagency communications
Interop 1, 2 & 3 at each site & programmed into all radios on the
system
Interagency simplex (149.525) & interagency repeater frequencies are
also in all radios. These are the frequencies that are currently used
for inter-agency communications
The governing policies and protocols for use are up to the appropriate
agencies
RTT Calls
The Request To Talk (RTT) feature is only used on RCMP and
Conservation Officer radios ONLY.
The RTT feature lets radio subscribers send a signal to a dispatcher via
the radio system. This request signal indicates to the dispatcher that
a subscriber wishes to speak to dispatch for routine duties (e.g.
status update, request information, etc.) and is queued on the
console for the first available operator.
A subscriber will press the RTT button on their radio and the RTT
message will be sent to the dispatcher console.
