Handling Precautions

Draft

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.

Charging the Battery

Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery. To avoid damage and comply with warranty terms, charge the battery using a Motorola charger exactly as described in the charger user guide.

Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best performance.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with an

IMPRES charger for optimized battery life and valuable battery data. IMPRES batteries charged exclusively with IMPRES chargers receive a 6-month capacity warranty extension over the standard Motorola Premium battery warranty duration.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

Draft

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

• While a call is in progress, the PTT button allows the radio to

transmit to other radios in the call.

Press and hold down PTT button to talk. Release the PTT button to listen.

The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed.

• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 27).

You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an

Emergency Call.

You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone or the

PTT Sidetone by disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on

page 96).
