Handling Precautions
Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets
IP54 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand
adverse field conditions such as being
water or dust.
•Keep your radio clean and exposure to water
should be avoided to help ensure proper
functionality and performance.
•To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a
diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and
fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one
gallon of water).
•These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a
periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of
smudges, grease, and/or grime.
Caution: The effects of certain chemicals and
their vapors can have harmful results on

Privacy
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent
eavesdropping by unauthorized users on a channel
by the use of a software-based scrambling solution.
The signaling and user identification portions of a
transmission are not scrambled.
Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel
to send a privacy-enabled transmission, although this
is not a necessary requirement for receiving a
transmission. While on a privacy-enabled channel,
the radio is still able to receive clear (unscrambled)
transmissions.
Your radio only supports Basic Privacy.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data
transmission, your radio must be programmed to
have the same Privacy Key (for Basic Privacy) as the
transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a
different Privacy Key, or a different Key Value and
Key ID, you will hear a garbled transmission (Basic
Privacy).
