Radio Maintenance

This chapter covers the radio and battery care.

Radio Care

Proper radio usage and care assures efficient operation
and long life for the product.

The following are recommendations and warnings when
using the radio

CAUTION:

• Your radio casting has a vent port that allows for
pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke
this vent with any objects, such as needles,
tweezers, or screwdrivers.

• Do not submerge the radio as this results in
damage to the radio.

• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of
liquids.

13

English

• Accessory connector cover must be attached to
the radio side accessory connector if an
accessory is not attached to the radio.

• If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high
force water spray, such as from a hose, remove
the side accessory connector or accessory
connector cover immediately and check to make
sure no water was forced into the accessory
connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area
and re-attach the accessory or accessory
connector cover if leakage occurs.

• If the radio is exposed to a corrosive
environment, such as salt water or corrosive
gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio
immediately to prevent damage to radio
materials, especially plated surfaces. Refer to

Cleaning Your Radio on page 15 for detailed

instructions. Remove the battery and the
antenna before cleaning if exposed to corrosive
environments.

• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone
port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will
decrease the audio quality of the radio.

• Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.

• CAUTION:

Do not use the radio without an
accessory connector or a dust cover in
place as contamination can build up on
the contacts.

• Underwriter Laboratory (UL) certified radios
should only be opened and serviced by UL
approved service centers. Opening or repairing
at unauthorized locations will invalidate the
radio’s hazardous location rating.

• Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio
unnecessarily.

• When charging the radio using a wall mounted
charger, the radio must be turned off. Otherwise,
the Emergency may be accidentally triggered.

14

English

Cleaning Your Radio

solution.

To clean the external surfaces of your radio, follow the
procedure described next.

1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing

detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).

2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic,

shortbristled brush, making sure that excess
detergent does not get entrapped near the
connectors, controls, or crevices. Rinse and then dry
the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to

remove dirt or grease.

Radio Service and Repair

Proper repair and maintenance procedures will assure
efficient operation and long life for this product. A Motorola
Solutions maintenance agreement will provide expert
service to keep this and all other communication equipment
in perfect operating condition.

A nationwide service organization is provided by Motorola
Solutions to support maintenance services. Through its
maintenance and installation program, Motorola Solutions
makes available the finest service to those desiring reliable,
continuous communications on a contract basis.

For a contract service agreement, please contact your

or an authorized Motorola Solutions dealer.

Cleaning the External Surface of the Radio

CAUTION:

Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may
permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in detergent solution.

1 Combine one teaspoon of mild diswashing detergent

to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).

15

English

2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic,

short-bristled brush, making sure excess detergent
does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls
or crevices.

3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Battery Care

This chapter provides information on the battery charge
status, battery recycling and disposal.

Battery Charge Status

Your radio can indicate the battery’s charge status through:

• the LED and sounds.

• the fuel gauge icon on the display.

You can also check the battery charge status using the
menu entry. See IMPRES Battery Annunciator for more
information.

LED and Sounds

When your battery is low:

• the LED blinks red when the PTT button is pressed.

• you hear a low-battery “chirp” (short, high-pitched tone).

Fuel Gauge Icons

A blinking fuel gauge icon ( ) is displayed only when the
battery voltage drops to low level. In this case, replace the
battery with a fully charged one.

Gauge Battery Charge

Battery Recycling and Disposal

In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola Solutions participates in
the nationwide Call2Recycle program for battery collection
and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this
program.

For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you,
access Call2Recycle's Internet web site at http://

www.call2recycle.org/ or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. This

internet site and telephone number also provide other
useful information concerning recycling options for
consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies.

Additional Performance Enhancement

The following performance enhancements are some of the
latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality,
and efficiency of the radios.

SecureNet

SecureNet allows user to perform secured communications
on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC)
channel.

Conventional Talkgroup and Radio Scan Enhancements

A few enhancements have been made to the Conventional
Talkgroup at the system. These enhancements improve the
Scan feature operation significantly when multiple agencies
are using a single conventional radio frequency channel.
These enhancements allow users to use Selective Squelch
to operate on only the subset of talkgroups that are
relevant to the users rather than all talkgroups on the
channel. These Scan improvements have been made to
eliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn on
the busy LED when activity is present on the channel.

17

English

Mixed Vote Scan and Standard Conventional Scan
configurations are supported. Priority Operation is also
supported.

Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using
conventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups can
be supported when Vote Scan channels are being used.

Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as Smart
PTT prevents users from transmitting while other users are
on the channel.

NOTICE:

User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with
this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.

What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can Tell You

Check with your dealer or system administrator for the
correct radio settings, if the radio is to be operated in
extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60
°C).

You can consult your dealer or system administrator about
the following:

• Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional
channels?

• Which buttons have been programmed to access other
features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

NOTICE:

Specifications may vary for different radio models.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.

Using the PL Defeat Feature

This feature allows you to override any coded squelch
(DPL or PL) that might be preprogrammed to a channel.

The radio also unmutes to any digital activity on a digital
channel.

Digital PTT ID Support

This feature allows you to see the radio ID (number) of the
radio from whom you are currently receiving a
transmission. This ID, consisting up to a maximum of eight
characters, can be viewed by both the receiving radio and
the dispatcher.

The ID number of your radio is also automatically sent
every time the PTT button is pressed. This is a per-channel
feature. For digital voice transmissions, the ID of your radio
is sent continuously during the voice message.

Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)

Smart PTT is a per-personality, 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 cannot
transmit on an active channel.

If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel, you
hear an alert tone, and the transmission is inhibited. The

83

English

LED lights up solid yellow to indicate that the channel is
busy.

The following table shows the variations of smart PTT:

Mode Description

Quick-Key Over­ride

You cannot transmit if any traffic is
detected on the channel.

You cannot transmit on an active
channel with a squelch code other
than your own. If the PL code is the
same as yours, the transmission is
not prevented.

Your radio must be preprogram­med to allow you to use Quick-Key
Override. This feature can work in
conjunction with either of the two
above variations. You can override
the transmit-inhibit state by quick­keying the radio. In other words,
two PTT button presses within the
preprogrammed time limit.

Transmit Inhibit

This feature is available for Conventional operations for all
ATS radios.

When Transmit Inhibit feature is enabled, the radio stops all
transmission including voice and data. The radio can
receive messages but is not able to reply the
acknowledgment request of the received message.

User can physically control the transmission of the radio
especially during operation in hazardous environments with
this feature. An environment is considered hazardous when
the power emitted by the radio power amplifier could initiate
an explosion or other dangerous reactions.

When the Transmit Inhibit feature is disabled, the radio
functions according to its normal operations.

The radio sounds alert tone when user enters or exits this
feature and also when PTT is pressed.
