Important Safety Information

RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide

for Mobile 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 Mobile 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 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.

Software Version

All the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's software version R01.00.00.

See Checking the Firmware Version and Codeplug Version on page 69 to determine your radio's software version.

Please check with your dealer or system administrator for more details of all the features supported.

• A short or long press of the relevant programmable buttons.

• Use the Menu Navigation Buttons as follows:

1 To access the menu, press the g button. Press the

appropriate Left/ Right Navigation button (b or c ) to

access the menu functions.

2 To select a function or enter a sub-menu, press the g

button.

3 To go back one menu level, or to return to the previous

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

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 20).

If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On

or Off on page 61) 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

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

English

You will also hear a continuous talk prohibit tone, if your call is interrupted, indicating that you should release the

PTT button, for example when the radio receives an Emergency Call.

Switching Between Conventional Analog

and Digital Mode

Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel.

To switch between an analog or a digital channel, use the Channel Up or Channel Down buttons

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (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.

Identifying Radio Controls

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog

modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on

page 31).

Channel Up/ Down Button

To use the programmed Channel Up or Channel Down buttons, while in the Home Screen of the required Zone, press Channel Up or Channel Down to select the required channel.

English

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

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 Groups. This feature allows your radio to efficiently utilize the available number of programmed channels while in Repeater Mode.

Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. 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.

Identifying Radio Controls

English

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.

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.

Identifying Radio Controls

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.

NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the

roam list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

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.

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