Important Safety Information

RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios

ATTENTION!

This radio is restricted to Occupational use only.

Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.

For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website:

http://www.motorolasolutions.com

Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola, may void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential

radio interference to other users, the antenna type

and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola-approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Informations importantes sur la sécurité

Exposition aux radiofréquences et sécurité du produit pour radios bidirectionnelles portatives

ATTENTION!

Cette radio ne doit être utilisée qu'à des fins professionnelles. Avant d'utiliser la radio, lisez le guide Exposition aux radiofréquences et sécurité du produit pour radios bidirectionnelles portatives, qui contient d'importantes instructions de fonctionnement pour une utilisation sécuritaire et des informations sur l'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques afin d'assurer la conformité aux normes et règlements applicables.

Pour obtenir une liste d'antennes et d'autres accessoires approuvés par Motorola, consultez le site Web:

http://www.motorolasolutions.com

Selon la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu'il ne le faut pour établir la communication.

Le présent émetteur a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne agréés par Motorola et ayant un gain admissible maximal ainsi que l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué.

Les types d'antenne non inclus, dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.

Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP54 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being exposed to 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 certain plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners and other chemicals.

IP Site Connect

This feature allows your radio to extend conventional communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.

If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to

Capacity Plus

In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.

Note: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam enabled, not both at the same time.

Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including the Selected Channel).

Note: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Capacity Plus is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254

You hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.

Your radio also has features that are available in conventional digital mode, IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus and Linked Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information on this configuration.

Linked Capacity Plus

Linked Capacity Plus is a multi-site multi-channel trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combining the best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect configurations.

Linked Capacity Plus allows your radio to extend trunking communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It also provides an increase in capacity by efficiently

utilizing the combined available number of programmed channels supported by each of the available sites.

Note: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. It then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.

In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.

Any channel with Linked Capacity Plus enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches these channels during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

Similar to Capacity Plus, icons of features not applicable to Linked Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. You hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not applicable to Linked Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.
