General Radio Operation

Receive / Transmit

Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often assume
that the lack of static on a digital channel is an indication that the radio
is not working properly. This is not the case. Digital technology quiets
the transmission by removing the “noise” from the signal and allowing
only the clear voice or data information to be heard.

This section emphasizes the importance of knowing how to monitor a
channel for traffic before keying up to send a transmission.

Key Loading

Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for equipment
connections and setup.

1 Attach the KVL to your radio.

When it is attached, all radio
functions, except for power
down, backlight, and volume,
will be locked out.

2 Press the PTT button on the

KVL. This will load the
encryption keys into your
radio. When the key has
been loaded successfully,
the radio will sound a short
tone for single-key radios; for
multikey radios, an
alternating tone will be
heard.

Multikey

The multikey feature allows your radio to be equipped with as many
as 48 different encryption keys and supports the DES-OFB algorithm.

• Conventional Multikey – The encryption keys can be tied

(strapped), on a one-per-channel basis, through radio service
software. In addition, you can have operator-selectable keys,
operator-selectable keysets, and operator-selectable key erasure.
If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption keys
are strapped to the talkgroups.

• Trunked Multikey – If you use your radio for both conventional

and trunked applications, you will have to strap your encryption
keys for trunking on a per-talkgroup or announcement-group
basis. In addition, you may strap a different key to other features,
such as dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or emergency talkgroup. You
can have operator-selectable key erasure.

Special Radio Features

Dynamic Regrouping (Trunking Only)

The dynamic regrouping feature lets the dispatcher temporarily
reassign selected radios to a single special channel so they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used during
special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio technician. You
will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a
dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.

Note: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been reserved

by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped mode for other
users, you will hear an invalid tone.

When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically
switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You see the
dynamically regrouped channel’s name, and hear a “gurgle”
tone.

Press the PTT button to talk; release it to listen.

When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio
automatically returns to the zone and channel that you were
using before the radio was dynamically regrouped.

Special Radio Features

Trunking System Controls

Failsoft

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during
a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the
radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its
failsoft channel.

During failsoft operation:

Your radio transmits and receives
in conventional operation on a
predetermined frequency.

You hear a medium-pitched tone
every 10 seconds

When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio
automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked
operation.

• A medium-pitched tone

Out-of-Range

If you go out of the range of the system and can no longer lock onto a

Battery

Battery Life

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical
are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of
discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and
the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.
For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100%
several times a day, will last fewer cycles than a battery that receives
less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a
battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25%
discharge, will last even longer.

Charging the Battery

Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a
Motorola charger and vice-versa. Charging in non-Motorola
equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
Motorola-authorized battery chargers may not charge batteries other
than the ones listed on page 49.

The battery should be at about 77
whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50
may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the
battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio.

Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing
circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature
limits stated above.

Battery Charge Status

Your radio can indicate your battery’s charge status through LED and
sounds.
