Welcome to the MTX•LS Trunked Portable Radio Family. Your
choice of the Motorola MTX•LS means you have selected the highest of standards in design, quality, and performance.
The MTX•LS radio gives you the flexibility to operate on both conventional repeater systems and the popular, LTR trunking system. The radio supports up to 14 trunking systems, which lets you
maintain communications while roaming from area to area. The
radio also supports up to 10 conventional channels, which gives
you the freedom to switch to a conventional repeater or to communicate directly with other two-way radios.
Inspect the shipping carton for any signs of damage. Remove and
check the contents to be sure that all ordered items have been
shipped. If items have been damaged during transit, report the
damage to the shipping company immediately.

Advantages Of Trunking
Trunking allows many users to share a fixed number of communication channels without interfering with one another. Telephone
companies for years have used trunking to make the most efficient
use of their equipment, and similar trunking methods have been
adapted to two-way radio communication.
A trunked radio system allows a large number of users to share a
relatively small number of frequencies. When an operator establishes communication with someone else in the system, the system automatically assigns a communication path - a repeater and
its frequency. Once the conversation has ended, the repeater is
freed for other users. Trunking pools all the repeater air time, and
this maximizes the amount of air time available to any one mobile
unit and minimizes channel congestion.
Some of the key benefits of trunked two-way radio systems are:
♦
No channel monitoring required prior to transmission
♦ Fast system access
♦ Automatic channel selection
♦ Privacy among members of the same group

Radio/Antenna Identification
An information label is attached to the back of your radio (chassis),
just under the battery contacts. A radio model number is shown on
this label. A typical model number might be H01UCC6DU3AN.
The fourth position of the model number (in this case “U”) identifies the operating frequency band of the radio. Table 1 lists all
fourth-position alpha characters and corresponding frequency
band.
Table 1 Radio Operating Frequency
Getting Started
Fourth-Position
Character
U 806-870MHz
W 896-941MHz
Antennas are frequency sensitive and are color coded according to
the frequency range of the antenna. The color code indicator is the
insulator in the center of the base of the antenna. The illustrations
and Antenna Identification Chart (page 10) will help identify the
antenna, antenna frequency range, and corresponding color code.
Refer to Table 1, “Radio Operating Frequency,” on page 9 and
Table 2, “Antenna Identification Chart,” on page 10 to ensure that
the match between your radio and antenna is correct.

Antenna Installation
Screw the threaded end of the antenna into the antenna receptacle
located on top of the radio. Rotate the antenna clockwise until it
fits firmly against the bushing.
10 Getting Started
Battery Installation
1. Turn off the radio and hold it with the back of the radio facing
up.
2. Place the two tabs of the battery (located at the inside base of
the battery) into the metal cutouts of the radio (located at the
inside base of the radio).
3. Rotate the battery toward the radio and press the top of the
battery into the radio until both battery release levers “click”
into place.
NOTE: The battery is shipped uncharged. Bat-
teries must be charged before use. (See
Battery Information section.)
Battery Removal
1. Turn off the radio and hold it
such that the battery side of the
radio is tilted down.
2. Press down on the two
battery release levers.
3. With release levers pulled down, the
top of the battery will fall away from
the radio.
4. Remove the battery from the radio.

Universal Connector Seal Removal
When not in use, keep the side connector covered
!
Caution
If the universal connector seal is attached to the radio:
using the universal connector seal provided.

1. Turn the radio off when removing the seal.
2. Grasp the radio as illustrated, and push your thumb against
the tabbed portion of the seal with enough force to unsnap the
universal connector seal from the radio.
3. Rotate the seal around the antenna to move it away from the
universal connector; slide the seal off of the antenna and
completely away from the radio.

1. Insert a pencil or equivalent size instrument between the in-
side of the belt clip and the metal clip assembly to hold the metal
clip partially sprung (metal clip should be approximately parallel
with the plastic portion of the belt clip).
2. Align the metal tabs of the belt clip with the plastic slots of the
battery housing.
