Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO DP1400 Portable radio meets IP54 specifications with the antenna and dust cover attached. Your radio limits protection against dust and water exposure.

•Keep your radio clean and exposure to water should be avoided to help ensure proper functionality and performance.

•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).

•These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime.

The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners and other chemicals.

Your dealer can program the programmable buttons as shortcuts to radio functions or preset channels/groups depending on the duration of a button press:

•Short press – Pressing and releasing rapidly.

•Long press – Pressing and holding for the programmed duration.

•Hold down – Keeping the button pressed.

The programmed duration of a button press is applicable for all assignable radio/utility functions or settings.

 Assignable Radio Functions

Analog Scrambling Codes – Toggles scrambling codes between 3.29KHz and 3.39KHz.

Power Level – Toggles transmit power level between high and low.

Squelch – Toggles squelch level between tight and normal.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic purposes:

	• While a call is in
	progress, the PTT	PTT
	button allows the radio	Button
	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 15).

Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone or the PTT

Sidetone is enabled, wait until the short alert tone ends before talking.

English

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.

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	Channel Selector Knob
conventional analog or
conventional digital channel.

NOTE: For Analog-only radios, each channel

can only be configured as a conventional analog channel.

Use the Channel Selector

Knob to switch between an analog or a digital channel.

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable.

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. A Software License Key sold separately is required to upgrade analog-only radios to digital radios.

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 21).

Scan lists are created and assigned to individual channels/ groups. Your radio scans for voice activity by cycling through the channel/group sequence specified in the scan list for the current channel.

Your radio supports up to 250 scan lists, with a maximum of 16 members in a list. Each scan list shall support a mixture of both analog and digital entries.

English

Scan

When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice activity.The LED blinks yellow.

During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of the call. This is also true for the reverse.

There are two types of scans:

•Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel where scan was initiated.

•Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto Scan enabled.

 Starting and Stopping Scan

Procedure:

1Press the programmed Scan button.

OR

Use the Channel Selector Knob to select a channel with Auto Scan enabled.

2When Scan is enabled, the LED blinks yellow and you hear a positive indicator tone.

OR

When Scan is disabled, the LED turns off and you hear a negative indicator tone.

 Responding to a Transmission During a Scan

During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a programmed time period known as “hang time”.

Procedure:

1Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.

If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you

will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
