Selecting a Feature
A unique feature of your radio is its use of the display to give you quick access to many of the radioÕs 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.
Right
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 radioÕs features and lists. There is no end point to the list, so if you continue to scroll in one direction, the display will Òwrap aroundÓ 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 have erased 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 memberÕs names), will move the cursor one step to the left.
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
RADIO OVERVIEW
ATS2500.book Page 10 Monday, December 18, 2000 7:39 PM
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 (programmable 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 Ð A low-battery condition is indi-
cated by a high-pitched, cricket-like Òchirp-chirpÓ when the PTT switch is released following a transmission.
¥ Successful Power-Up Ð A short, medium-pitched
tone when the radio is Þrst turned on indicates
that the radio has passed its power-up self test
and is ready for use.
¥ Unsuccessful Power-Up Ð A short, low-pitched
tone when the radio is Þrst 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 Ð If you press
the PTT switch while tuned to a Òreceive-onlyÓ
mode, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched
alert tone, indicating that no transmission is pos-
sible on this mode. This tone will continue until
the PTT switch is released.
¥ Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode Ð If you press the
PTT switch 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 switch is
released.
¥ Transmit Inhibit on Flat Battery Ð If you press the
PTT while the battery is ßat, you will hear a con-
tinuous, low pitched alert tone, indicating that
transmission is impossible.
¥ Invalid Mode Ð A continuous, low-pitched tone is
heard when an invalid or unprogrammed opera-
tion is attempted on the radio.
RADIO OVERVIEW
11
ATS2500.book Page 12 Monday, December 18, 2000 7:39 PM
¥ Valid (Good) Key Press Ð A short, medium-
pitched tone when a keypad key is pressed indi­cates that the key press was accepted.
¥ Invalid (Bad) Key Press Ð A short, low-pitched
tone when a keypad key is pressed indicates that the key press was rejected.
¥ Emergency Alarm Entry Ð A short, medium-
pitched tone when the emergency button is pressed indicates that the radio has entered the emergency mode.
¥ Emergency Alarm/Call Exit Ð A continuous,
medium-pitched tone when the radio is in the emergency mode indicates that the radio has exited the emergency mode.
¥ Failsoft (Trunked Systems Only) Ð A faint Òbeep-
ingÓ tone every ten seconds indicates that the radio is operating in the failsoft mode.
¥ Time-Out Timer Warning Ð Your radioÕs time-out
RADIO OVERVIEW
timer limits the length of your transmission time. When you are pressing the PTT switch (transmit­ting), a short, low-pitched warning tone will sound four seconds before the allotted time will expire.
¥ Time-Out Timer Timed-Out Ð If you hold down
the PTT switch longer than the time-out timerÕs allotted time, a continuous, low-pitched tone will sound, indicating that your transmission has been cut off. This tone will continue until the PTT
switch is released.
¥ Phone Busy Ð A Òbah-bah-bah-bahÓ tone when
telephone interconnect is accessed indicates
that all available modes are busy and the radio is
in queue for the next available phone line.
¥ Call Alertª (Page) Received Ð A group of four
medium-pitched tones every Þve seconds indi-
cates that your radio has received a Call Alert
page.
¥ Call Alertª (Page) Sent Ð A single medium-
pitched tone (central acknowledge), followed by
a group of four medium-pitched tones indicates
that a Call Alert page sent by your radio has
been received by the target radio.
¥ Private Conversationª Call Received Ð A group
of two medium-pitched tones indicates that your
radio has received a Private Conversation call.
This sequence is repeated every Þve seconds
for approximately 20 seconds for enhanced Pri-
vate Conversation.
¥ Trunked System Busy (Trunked Systems Only) Ð
A Òbah-bah-bah-bahÓ tone when a trunked sys-
tem is accessed indicates that all available chan-
nels are busy and the radio is in queue for the
next available channel.
¥ Call Back (Trunked Systems Only) Ð A group of
three medium-pitched tones (di-di-dit) indicates
that a talkgroup is now available for your previ-
ously requested transmission.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Battery Care and Tips
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), or lithium-ion rechargeable battery.
The following battery tips will help you obtain the highest performance and longest cycle life from your Motorola rechargeable battery.
¥ Charge your new battery overnight (14-16
hours) before using it to obtain maximum battery capacity and performance.
¥ Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead
to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
¥ When charging a battery that is attached to the
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
¥ The battery should be at about 25¡C (room
temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 10¡C) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery.
¥ Charging a hot battery (above 35¡C) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that the battery is charged
within these temperature limits.
¥ New batteries can be stored up to two years
without signiÞcant cycle loss. Store new/unused
batteries in a cool dry area.
¥ Batteries which have been in storage should be
charged overnight.
¥ Do not return fully charged batteries to the
charger for an Òextra boostÓ. This action will
signiÞcantly reduce cycle life.
¥ Do not leave your radio and battery in the
charger when not charging. Continuous charging
will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger
as a radio stand.)
¥ For optimum battery life and operation use only
Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to
operate as an integrated energy system.

Recycling or Disposal of Batteries
NiCd
At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas.
Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of all re-chargeable batteries. Contact your local Motorola dealer for further information.
Charging the Battery
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, indicated by battery level indicator showing one or no segments, you will need to charge the battery before you can use it in your radio.
Note:Batteries are shipped uncharged from
the factory. New batteries could prematurely indicate full charge, charge a new battery for 14-16 hours before initial use.
