INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to use the IPE Series Portable Radios. The IPE (Infinity) is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, duplex portable FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking environments. Duplex is provided in EDACS systems while operating in the Telephone Interconnect Mode. At other times, the radio provides simplex communications; i.e., when placing group calls in the EDACS environment.

RECHARGING Your charger is intended for indoor use only. Keep charger and AC adaptor dry. Do not use in or near water. Avoid recharging a battery before the low battery alert is displayed. Never recharge a battery when the ambient temperature is below 5°C or 40°F, or above 40°C or 105°F. The LED on the charger will indicate that charging is in progress. Remove the battery when the LED turns green. Do not leave the battery in the charger for more than 48 hours. Over-charging may reduce battery life.
Using a Desk-Top Charger 1. Connect the AC Adapter to the desk-top charger. 2. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet. 3. Remove the battery from the radio and lay it on the desk-top charger, radio side down. For longest battery life,remove the battery after charging.
Restoring Battery Capacity If you often recharge a battery before the low battery alarm has been issued, the battery’s ability to accept charge may be impaired. This will result in less and less time between recharges. To restore the battery, perform the following: 1. Use the radio as you normally would, until the low battery alarm has been issued. 2. Allow the radio to remain on until it turns itself off. 3. Charge the battery using the desk-top charger.
