Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP55 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being used in rain or dusty environment

• If the radio has been exposed to water or rain, shake the radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille, microphone port and aesthetic cover (if applicable). Trapped water in speaker grille and microphone port could cause decreased audio performance. If aesthetic cover is attached onto radio, trapped water in aesthetic cover could cause corrosion on the slim connector interface gold contacts.

• If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to water, clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio and the battery before attaching the battery to the radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.

• If the radio has been exposed to a corrosive substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water then dry the radio and battery.

• 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).

• The radio with antenna attached properly is

designed to be protected against dust and low pressure jets of water projected with nozzle 6.3 mm diameter at flow rate of 12.5 l/min, with water pressure at 30 kN/m2 and from a distance of 2.5 meter to 3 meter for at least 3 minutes. Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio.

• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet spray on the radio as this may cause water to leak into the radio.

Caution:

Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Radio maintenance should only be done in service depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal on the radio.

Switching Between Conventional Analog and Digital Mode

Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel. Use the Channel Selector Knob ( ) to switch between an analog or a digital channel.

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable. (such as Messages) reflect this change by appearing ‘grayed out’. Disabled features are hidden in the menu.

Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does not affect the performance of your radio.

Note:

Your radio also switches between digital and analog modes during a dual mode scan (see

Scan on page 51).

Icons for the digital features

English

Identifying Radio Controls

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 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.

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
