W A R N I N G
• POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere , unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as "Intrinsically Safe" (for e xample , Factory Mutual, CSA, or UL Approved). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to abov e include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or stor­age facilities, areas where the air con­tains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders, and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially explo­sive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
• BLASTING CAPS AND AREAS
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio". Obey all signs and instructions.

OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS

• ANTENNAS Do not use any portable radio
that has a damaged antenna.
a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.
• BATTERIES
All batteries can cause property damage and/ or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals.

SAFETY

FMRC Approved Equipment

Anyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable material exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations).
An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC), lists manufacturers and the products approved by FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary approval standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”).
FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/ Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. Depending on the design of the portable unit, this FM label can be found on the back or the bottom of the radio

• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product unit in a hazardous location with the accessory contacts exposed. Keep the connector cover in place when accessories are not used.
• Turn a radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.
• Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved Product unit in any way that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.
Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” to this capability and labeled in the field.
A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer at one of its FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities.
WARNINGS
!
• Failure to use an FMRC Approved Product unit with an FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved accessories specifically approved for that product may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unap­proved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved Product unit will negate the Approval rating of the product.

Repair of FMRC Approved Products

REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
You should not repair or relabel any Motorola­manufactured communication equipment bearing the FMRC Approval label (“FMRC Approved Product”) unless you are familiar with the current FMRC Approval standard for repairs and service (“Class Number 3605”).
You may want to consider using a repair f acility that operates under 3605 repair service approval.

SAFETY
WARNINGS
!
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury or death.
FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time without notice to you, so you may want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the December 1994 publication of 3605, some key definitions and service requirements are as follows:
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition—Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done in an FMRC Approved facility.
Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner which exposes the
!
W A R N I N G
internal electrical circuits of the unit. You do not have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility to perform these actions.
Relabeling
The repair facility shall hav e a method by which the replacement of FMRC Approval labels are controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units that were originally shipped from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the repair facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original manufacturer, as needed, to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may be obtained and applied by the repair facility, provided there is satisfactory evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC Approved unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged Approval label, a unit with a defective housing displa ying an Approval label, or a customer invoice indicating the serial number of the unit and purchase of an FMRC Approved model.
English

Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment certified by Factory Mutual is tested as a system and consists of the FM Approved portable, FM Approved battery, and FM Approved accessories or options, or both. This FM Approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously Approv ed with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed in the FM Approval Guide published by FMRC, or in the product FM Supplement. This FM Supplement is shipped from the manufacturer with the FM Approved radio and battery combination. The Approval Guide, or the Approval Standard Class Number 3605 document for repairs and service, can be ordered directly from Factory Mutual Research Corporation located in Norwood, Massachusetts.

Selecting a Feature

A unique feature of your radio is its use of the display to give you quick access to many of the radio’s features without having to have a dedicated key for each feature.
The names of the features (CALL, MUTE, etc.) are shown on the display, three at a time. Selection of features is controlled by the three keys directly below the feature names: the left key controls the left feature, the middle key controls the middle feature, and the right key controls the right feature.
Softkeys (l;l) When already in Menu Mode, these keys are used
to make Menu selections. Left and Right Arrow Keys (,/) The left and right arrow keys are used to scroll the
display forward or backward through the radio’s features and lists. There is no end point to the list, so if you continue to scroll in one direction, the display will “wrap around” back to the beginning of the list. If you hold either key down, the display will scroll at a faster rate until the key is released.
The left arrow key is also used for editing when you are entering information manually from the keypad.
Pressing the left arrow key, when editing numeric information (such as telephone numbers), will backspace, and erase the display, one character at a time. If you ha ve er ased all the digits, an additional press of the left arrow key will return the display to the pre-programmed list.
Pressing the left arrow key, when editing alphabetic information (such as member’s names), will move the cursor one step to the left.
English

HOME Key (.)
The HOME key will always return you to the home (default) display. In most cases, this is the current mode. In addition, if you are using a feature that requires it, pressing the HOME key will also cause information to be saved in memory before going to the home display. Some radio features will automatically go to the home display when they are completed, without having to press the HOME key, thus reducing the number of key presses required.

Menu Display

The menu items can be displayed in normal video or in reversed video (progr ammab le through the CPS). All the menu items in the examples in this manual are shown in reversed video.
The order in which the menu items are displayed is programmable. Thus, the order of the menu items on your radio may differ from those shown here in this manual. In such a situation, press the relevant softkey to make your menu selections. All descriptions of functions and displays after the selection are valid.

Alert Tone Indications

Your radio generates a number of audible tones to indicate radio operating conditions:
• Low Battery – A low-battery condition is indi­cated by a high-pitched, cricket-like “chirp-chirp” when the PTT button is released following a transmission.
• Successful Power-Up – A short, medium-pitched tone when the radio is first turned on indicates that the radio has passed its power-up self test and is ready for use.
English
20
• Unsuccessful Power-Up – A short, low-pitched tone when the radio is first turned on indicates that the radio has failed its power-up self test and is not ready for use. Contact your service representative for service.
• Transmit on Receive-Only Mode – If you press the PTT button while tuned to a “receive-only” mode, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that no transmission is pos­sible on this mode. This tone will continue until the PTT button is released.
• Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode – If you press the PTT button while the mode is busy, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that no transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue until the PTT button is released.
• T ransmit Inhibit on Flat Battery – If you press the PTT button while the battery is flat, you will hear a continuous, low pitched alert tone, indicating that transmission is impossible.
• Invalid Mode – A continuous, low-pitched tone is heard when an invalid or unprogrammed opera­tion is attempted on the radio.
• Valid (Good) Key Press – A short, medium­pitched tone when a keypad key is pressed indi­cates that the key press was accepted.
• Invalid (Bad) Key Press – A short, low-pitched tone when a keypad key is pressed indicates that the key press was rejected.
• Failsoft (Trunked Systems Only) – A faint “beep­ing” tone every ten seconds indicates that the radio is operating in the failsoft mode.
• Time-Out Timer Warning – Your radio’s time-out timer limits the length of your transmission time. When you are pressing the PTT button (trans­mitting), a short, low-pitched warning tone will sound four seconds before the allotted time will expire.
• Time-Out Timer Timed-Out – If you hold down the PTT button longer than the time-out timer’s allotted time, a continuous, low-pitched tone will sound, indicating that your transmission has been cut off. This tone will continue until the PTT button is released.
• Phone Busy – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone when telephone interconnect is accessed indicates that all available modes are b usy and the radio is in queue for the next available phone line.
• Call Alert™ (Page) Received – A group of four medium-pitched tones every five seconds indi­cates that your radio has received a Call Alert page.
