Time-Out Timer

The new ASTRO portable radio is equipped with a programmable time-out timer which, upon expiration, will turn off the transmitter. This timer is programmable through radio service software and can be set from 0 seconds (off) to 7.75 minutes (465 seconds), at 15 second increments. The ASTRO radios have been programmed at shipment for 60 seconds.
1. A time-out timer warning occurs approximately four seconds before the allocated time-out timer expires. The warning is a short, low-pitched tone.
2. If the PTT Switch is held down longer than the time-out timer’s allotted time, a continuous, low-pitched tone will sound and the LED will stop lighting red, indicating that your transmission has been cut off. This tone will continue to sound until the PTT Switch is released.
3. Release the PTT Switch.
4. To transmit another message, press the PTT Switch.

Low-Battery Indication

If the battery voltage falls below the low-voltage level, the B status indicator will appear (flashing).

When the PTT Switch is pressed, the bicolor LED will blink red to indicate a low-battery condition.
When the PTT Switch is released following a transmission, a short, high-pitched tone (chirp) will sound to indicate a low-battery condition.

1. Press the is programmable through radio service software); a medium-pitched, emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio returns to normal operation.
2. Radios programmed with emergency alarm — the emergency alarm state may be exited by pressing the canceled (without an emergency-exit tone), and you may begin transmitting your voice call.
3. On radios equipped with emergency alarm with call — pressing the
PTT Switch
place the radio in emergency-call operation.
4. Radios programmed with emergency alarm only — the emergency state is automatically exited upon reception of an acknowledgment from the dispatcher or if the alarms are exhausted when no acknowledgment is received. This method applies to non-silent emergency alarm radios.

Private-Conversation™ II Calls
involving two specific radios in which the conversation will not be heard by others in the current radio talkgroup.
Enhanced Private-Conversation Calls
as Private Conversation II calls except the radio automatically verifies that the target radio is active on the system. The target-radio user can also view the ID of the calling radio before answering.
Selective Calls
an individual or group of radios. It is intended to provide privacy and to eliminate the annoyance of you having to listen to conversations that are of no interest to you.
Call-Alert™ Pages
pages provide a means to signal other radio users that you wish to get in touch with them (even if they are away from their radio or in a noisy environment). Call Alert pages also allow you to verify that a radio is active on the system.

Repeater Access

Repeater access allows you, the user, to selectively activate repeaters, which is especially useful in areas where repeaters are placed close together to ensure total coverage. Repeater access can operate automatically or manually and can be enable through radio service software on a per channel basis. During automatic repeater access, a sidetone is generated to indicate that the repeater access code is being transmitted to discourage you from talking over the data transmission.
In radios programmed with manual repeater access, you activate the repeater access code transmission by pressing the Repeater Access Button (if programmed, see page 2); no sidetone is generated. On radios with MDC-1200™ signalling, when the repeater access is acknowledged, the radio will emit an acknowledge alert tone. This acknowledge alert tone can be disabled through radio service software.

Deleting Nuisance Channels

When the radio scans to a channel that you do not wish to hear (nuisance channel), you can temporarily delete the channel from the scan list.
1. When the radio is locked onto the channel to be deleted, press the Nuisance-Delete Button (if programmed, see page 2). Repeat this step to delete additional nuisance channels.
Notes
Priority channels and the selected channel cannot be deleted using the nuisance-delete feature.
2. The radio continues scanning the remaining channels in the list. To resume scanning the deleted channel, you can change channels or leave and re-enter scan operation.
Dynamic Priority Change (Conventional Operation Only)
While the radio is scanning, the dynamic priority change feature lets you temporarily change any channel in a scan list (except the priority-one channel) to the priority-two channel. The present priority-two channel becomes a non-priority channel. This change remains in effect until scan is turned off, then scanning reverts back to the preprogrammed state.
1. When the radio is locked onto the channel to be designated as priority­two, press the Dynamic Priority Button (if programmed, see page 2).
Notes
The priority-one channel cannot be changed to priority-two.

Common Radio Features

Smart PTT

Smart PTT is a per-channel, programmable feature used in conventional radio systems to keep radio users from talking over other radio conversations. When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you will not be able to transmit on an active channel. If you try to transmit (press the PTT Switch) on an active smart-PTT channel, an alert tone will be generated, and the transmission will be inhibited. The LED will also blink red to indicate that the channel is busy.
Three radio-wide variations of smart PTT are available:
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Carrier — With this feature enabled, you will be prevented from transmitting if any activity is detected on the channel.
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong Squelch Code — With this feature enabled, you will be prevented from transmitting on an active channel with a squelch code or (if secure-equipped) encryption key other than your own. If the PL code is the same as yours, the transmission will not be prevented.
Quick-Key Override — This feature can work in conjunction with either of the two above variations. With this feature enabled, you will be able to override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying the radio; in other words, two PTT Switch presses within the time programmed through radio service software (RSS) for Smart PTT Quick-Key Timer (default value is 1/2 second).

Special Radio Features

Dynamic Regrouping

The dynamic regrouping feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios to a single special channel so that they can communicate with each other. This feature, enabled in each radio by means of the radio service software, is typically used during special operations. Y ou will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
Note
1. When your radio has been dynamically regrouped, you will hear a “gurgle” tone (unless you are already on the dynamic-regrouping zone/channel), and your radio will be automatically switched to the dynamic-regrouping channel. The display will show the name assigned to the dynamic-regrouping channel.
Note
If you select the dynamic-regrouping zone/channel using softkeys or other radio controls without being dynamically regrouped, an invalid tone will be heard.
If you are using a radio control knob or switch (not softkeys) to select the zone or channel — Until you select the correct dynamic-regrouping position, you will not be able to select scan, telephone call, or Private Conversation call feature, and you will hear a gurgle tone each time you press the This is a reminder to you that you are transmitting on the dynamic-regrouping channel, not the zone or channel indicated by the position of the radio control.

Busy Override

When a talkgroup call is placed in a SmartZone™ system and the system is not able to obtain voice channels at all necessary sites, a busy tone will be generated. If so programmed in the zone manager and through the radio service software, you may override this busy by performing the following steps:
1. Press the PTT Switch; a busy indication is received.
2. Release the PTT Switch.
3. Press and hold the PTT Switch a second time. The busy tones are heard again. After a few seconds, a busy-override chirp will be generated (if so programmed), and the radio will send in a busy-override request.
4. The talkgroup call will be placed at all sites that have voice channel resources available. Other sites will be added to the call as channels become available. Note: Realize that not all members of the talkgroup will be able to hear a call when a busy override is requested.

Dispatcher-Interrupt

The dispatcher-interrupt feature allows the dispatcher to interrupt your radio and place you in a Private Conversation call with the dispatcher.
1. When your radio receives a dispatcher-interrupt call, you will hear a repeating sequence of four, short, medium-pitched tones until you answer the call. The display will show “
IIIINNNNTTTTRRRRUUUUPPPPTT
on the second line. The green LED will also flash to announce that a call is being received.
2. When the second line displays the ID of the dispatcher who has initiated the dispatcher-interrupt, press the PTT Switch and converse in the normal manner with the dispatcher.

Failsoft

If a trunking system experiences a complete failure, the radio will revert to failsoft operation and automatically switch to its failsoft channel. During failsoft, the trunking repeaters will transmit a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio will automatically leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.

Out-of-Range

If you go out of range of the system and can no longer lock onto a control channel, the display will alternately display “ currently selected zone/channel combination, and/ or sound a low-pitched tone.

Battery Charging and Disposal

Charging Batteries

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery. Charge the battery before use to ensure optimum capacity and performance. The battery was designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
Note
The battery should be at about 77°F (room temperature) whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that the battery is charged within these temperature limits.
When charging a battery that is attached to the radio, turn the
radio off to ensure a full charge.
WARNING
!
Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.
WARNING
!
Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.

Recycling or Disposal of Batteries

At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various state or local laws, the battery must be recycled or disposed of properly and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators.
NiCd
72
Additional Information
For disposal, NiCd batteries should be delivered to an authorized metals reclamation dealer. NiMH batteries, although they contain no designated toxic metals, are recommended to be disposed of through an authorized metals­reclamation dealer.
In addition, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations classify used Ni-Cd batteries as hazardous waste, unless certain exemptions apply.
Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of Ni-Cd batteries. If you are located in the United States or Canada, you can ship, post paid, your used Ni-Cd batteries to INMETCO, an EPA approved recycling facility , at the address listed below. If you are not located in the United States or Canada, you may ship your used Motorola Ni-Cd batteries to one of the nearest international locations listed below . Should you have any questions, contact the facility first.
Consideration should be given to the methods of collecting, labeling, and shipping used Ni-Cd batteries. Your federal, state or local EPA should be consulted for specific legal requirements and for recycling options in your area.
