INTRODUCTION

This manual (L3000E) is a supplement to the Motorola Digital
Communicator L3000 User’s Guide. It explains advanced features
that are available on your portable.

This manual explains how the radio works when it ships from the
factory. Many features are programmable by your organization. Be
sure to refer to your organization’s instructions to find out the differ­ences.

This Supplement explains the following Advanced Dispatch Fea­tures:

Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan

This feature allows you to monitor more than one talkgroup within
your fleet.

Status Message

Status Message - Allows you to send a Status Message to the dis­patcher, or to the target ID of your choice. Status Messages like “AT
LUNCH” and “EN ROUTE” can be programmed and sent. Up to
10 named (aliased) Status Messages are available per unit.

Emergency Group Call

Emergency Group Call - Provides priority access to talkgroup mem­bers, and provides visible and audible indications of an emergency
condition. The emergency call will take place on a pre-programmed
emergency talkgroup or the last selected talkgroup (depending on
how the portable is programmed).

Isolated Site Operation (ISO)

ISO allows you to continue group call communications within a sin­gle cell site when connectivity to the network is lost. This feature
does this by allowing the cell to operate in a local, one cell only
mode.

ANCED FEATURES (L3000E)

The L3000E is provided with an advanced feature set as described
in this section. Additionally, the L3000E has 4.8 kbs data function­ality and can initiate and receive data calls. For a complete descrip­tion of these functions please refer to te Circuit Data User’s Guide
(publication number 68P81084C18).

Multi-Simultaneous T

alkgroup Scan

Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan (Scan) allows users within a
fleet to monitor more than one talkgroup. A Talkgroup Mode,
within the range of 1-255, is comprised of up to four talkgroups (one
Primary Talkgroup and up to three Secondary Talkgroups). Calls
can only be initiated on the user’s Primary Talkgroup, however, a
user can respond to an active call on either a Primary or Secondary
Talkgroup. Both Primary and Secondary Talkgroups can be named
(aliased), however, Talkgroup Modes cannot be aliased. The default
setting of the Scan feature is “ON”, but the user has the capability
of disabling Scan through an option key. The unit will store the last
Scan setting, and power on with that setting.

Entering Group Mode

Press the
Group Mode.

Two different Talkgroup Modes are displayed below. The Primary
Talkgroup is indicated to the right of the Talkgroup Mode. The dis­play on the left shows a non-aliased Primary Talkgroup, and the dis­play on the right shows an aliased Primary Talkgroup.

Fred’s Primary Talkgroup for Mode 3.

All subscriber units that have affiliated with
your Primary Talkgroup as either a Primary

Fred’s Display

or Secondary Talkgroup in any Talkgroup
Mode will receive your group call if they are
not already engaged in an active call.

The following screens will be displayed on the receiver subscriber
units indicating they have joined the call. The second line of the
display will indicate the Mode number followed by Primary or Sec­ondary Talkgroup, which may be aliased. The third line of the dis­play indicates the PTT-ID of the unit initiating the group call, which
can also be aliased.

Example: Jason joins the Electricians talk­group. He has also selected Electricians as
his Primary Talkgroup for Talkgroup 3, but
he has no alias for his talkgroup, so the Talk­group number (TG ID) is displayed. Fred’s
PTT-ID is displayed on the third line.

Example: Julie joins the call and the unit
updates the alias to indicate active Second­ary Talkgroup. (Mode 1, Secondary Talk­group 3). Fred’s PTT-ID is displayed on the
third line.
