Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO DP2400 Portable Radio meets IP55 specifications with antenna attached, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being used in rain or dusty environment.

		•	If the radio has been exposed to water or rain, shake the
			radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the
			speaker grille, microphone port and aesthetic cover (if
			applicable). Trapped water in speaker grille and microphone
			port could cause decreased audio performance. If aesthetic
			cover is attached onto radio, trapped water in aesthetic cover
	Precautions		could cause corrosion on the slim connector interface gold
			contacts.
		•	If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to water,
			clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio and the
			battery before attaching the battery to the radio. The residual
			water could short-circuit the radio.
		•	If the radio has been exposed to corrosive substance
	Handling		(e.g.saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water then
			dry the radio and battery.
		•	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).
		•	The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to be
			protected against dust and low pressure jets of water
	vi		projected with nozzle 6.3mm diameter at flow rate of
			12.5 l/min, with water pressure at 30 kN/m2 and from a

distance of 2.5m to 3m for at least 3 min. Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio.

•When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet spray on the radio as this may cause to leak.

Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Radio maintenance should only be done in service depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal on the radio.

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 22).

Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone 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 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.

11

English

Switching Between Conventional Analog and

Digital Mode

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

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 29).

12

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.

NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus.

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 Members roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

English

A Members roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including the Selected Channel).

You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the Members roam list. A Software License Key sold separately is required to use this feature.

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.

You can only access channel(s) with Capacity Plus via the Channel Selector Knob, while features supported in Capacity Plus can be accessed via a programmable button press.

You will hear a negative indicator tone if you access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.

Your radio also has features that are available in both conventional digital mode and Capacity Plus. 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 use this feature.

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

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.

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.

13

English

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. A Software License Key sold separately is required to use this feature.

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