Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP57 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being submersed in water.
• If the radio has been submersed in water, shake the
radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped water could cause decreased audio performance.
• 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 submersed in 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).
Handling Precautions
• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis
below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak path into the radio and the radio’s submersibility may be lost.
• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.
• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the
vent.
• The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to
be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 meter (3.28 feet) and a maximum submersion time of 30 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 will exceed the 1 meter depth pressure and may cause water to leak into the radio.
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.

The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic
purposes:
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 98) or the PTT Sidetone is enabled, wait
until the short alert tone ends before talking.
During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you
will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
Identifying Radio Controls
PTT Button

Vote Scan

Contacts Settings

Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where there are multiple base stations transmitting identical information on different analog channels.
Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and performs a voting process to select the strongest received signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to transmissions from that base station.
The LED blinks yellow and the vote scan icon appears on the status bar.
To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan, follow the same procedures as Responding to a Transmission During a Scan on page 45.
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio. Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate a call.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or Dispatch Call.
PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only available with the applications. Refer to the data applications documentation for more information.
NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you
can make privacy-enabled Group Call, Private Call, and All Call on that channel. Only target radios with the same Privacy Key OR the same Key Value and Key ID as your radio will be able to unscramble the transmission.
See Privacy on page 82 for more information.
Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to a programmable number key or more on a keypad. If an entry is assigned to a number key, your radio can perform a quick dial
on the entry.

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 supports two types of privacy:
• Basic Privacy
• Enhanced Privacy.
Only ONE of the privacy types above can be assigned to the
radio.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must be programmed to have the same Privacy Key (for
Basic Privacy), OR the same Key Value and Key ID (for
Enhanced 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
either hear a garbled transmission (Basic Privacy) or nothing at
all (Enhanced Privacy).
82
English
The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and
double blinks green when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacy-enabled transmission.
If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the secure or unsecure icon appears on the status bar, except when the radio is sending or receiving an Emergency call or alarm.
NOTE: Some radio models may not offer this Privacy feature.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.
Procedure:
Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or off. OR Follow the procedure below.

Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF)

IP Site Connect

The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) feature allows the radio to operate in a radio system with an interface to telephone systems.
Procedure:
To initiate a DTMF call.
1 Press and hold the PTT button.
2 Enter the desired number, * or #.
You can turn off the DTMF tone by disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on page 96).
This feature allows your radio to extend communication beyond
the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available
sites via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the
range of another, it connects to the new site's base station 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 base station 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 Members list
during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.
84
English
A Members list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including
the Selected Channel).
Procedure:
Use the menu.
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the
Members list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Starting an Automatic Site Search

NOTE: The radio only scans for a new site if the current signal
is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. If the RSSI value is strong, the radio remains on the current site.
Procedure: Press the programmed Site Lock On/Off button.
1 A tone sounds and the display shows Site Unlocked.
2 The LED blinks yellow rapidly when the radio is actively
searching for a new site, and turns off once the radio locks on to a site.
