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.

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.

Isolated Site Operation (ISO) allows group call communications to continue within a single cell site when connectivity to the network is lost by allowing the cell to operate in a local, one cell only mode. ISO is limited to dispatch talkgroup calls only. In Phone and Private Conversation modes the display will update to include “-Isoft” on the first line. Talkgroup communications will be limited to only those units that are connected to the ISO cell, and only on the talk­group or Talkgroup Mode (depending on Scan setting) that the sub­scriber unit last used before the cell entered the ISO state.
Entering ISO
The portable will enter the ISO state when its cell becomes isolated from the network, assuming the portable has no available neighbor cells. It will display one of the following screens: (while in ISO the LED indicator is off unless the unit is transmitting. The LED will be green during those periods).
Phone Mode
Group Call Mode
Private Call Mode
Note: If the portable is powered on in an ISO cell, it will enter the ISO state if there are no available neighbor cells.

If the portable has Scan enabled when the site enters ISO, the porta­ble will be able to initiate a call on its Primary Talkgroup and can respond to calls started on either the Primary or any Secondary Talk­group.
The portable will not be able to select a new Talkgroup Mode while in ISO condition.
If the portable has Scan disabled when the site enters ISO, the portable will be able to initiate and respond to calls on the Primary Talkgroup only.
Exiting ISO
When the cell returns to normal operation, the unit will revert back to standard operation. The green LED indicator will resume blink­ing.
If the unit goes out of range of the ISO cell and has no available neighbor cells, the unit will go out of service.
16
Other Operations
Since the ISO operation is limited to group calls only, any attempts to communicate in other modes (phone, private, alert, status) will result in a “Service Not Available” message. However, all other functions (memory scroll, direct entry, feature menu programming, etc.) are still operable.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
YOUR INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE PORTABLE RADIO.
For the safe and efficient operation of your radio, observe these guidelines.
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives, and also transmits, radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your radio, the system handling your call controls the power level at which your radio transmits. The power level may typically vary over a range from 0.01 of a watt to 0.6 of a watt.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96­326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regu­lated transmitters. In addition, the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP) has established standards containing RF exposure guidelines. Motorola iDEN products comply with these standards.
Efficient Radio Operation
The following practices will enable your radio to operate at the lowest power level, consistent with satisfactory call quality.
When placing or receiving a phone call, or using the group or pri­vate call functions with the Group/Private Speaker OFF (muted speaker icon visible in the display), hold the radio as you would a telephone. Speak directly into the mouthpiece and position the antenna up and over your shoulder.
When using the radio as a traditional two-way radio while making group or private calls with the Group/Private Speaker ON (no speaker icon visible in the display), hold the radio in a vertical position with the microphone one to two inches away from the lips.
DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is “IN USE”. Hold­ing the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio to operate at a higher power level than needed.
20
Antenna Considerations
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the radio, or result in violation of ICNRP or FCC regula­tions.
Interference to Medical and Personal Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. How­ever, RF energy from the radio transmitter may affect inade­quately shielded electronic equipment.
Consult the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal elec­tronic device(s) (for example. - a pacemaker or a hearing aid) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your radio off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in the area instruct you to do so. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.
Interference to Other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly or inadequately shielded elec­tronic operating and entertainment systems in motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
Turn your radio off before boarding any aircraft to prevent possi­ble interference to aircraft systems. Regulations of the United States Federal Aviation Administration prohibit use when the plane is in the air and require you have permission from a crew member to use your radio while the plane is on the ground.
21
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage, injury or burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys or beaded chains touch the exposed termi-
!
C a u t i o n
Use While Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.

C a u t i o n
nals. The material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside your pocket, purse or other container. To protect against a short circuit when the battery is detached from the phone, keep the battery in the insulated pro­tective case provided with the battery.
When using the phone while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving and to the road;
• use hands free operation, if available; and
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Children
Do not allow children to play with your radio. It is not a toy. Children could hurt themselves or others (by poking themselves or others in the

!
eye with the antenna, for example). Children also could damage the radio, or make calls that increase your service bills.
DO NOT operate your radio near electric blast­ing caps, or in a blasting area, to avoid the possi­bility of triggering an explosion. Turn your radio OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas where
such requirements are posted.

ries could generate sparks which might trigger an explosion.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include areas such as below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the compartment of your vehicle which contains your radio or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association. One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales Divi­sion.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT

deployment area. If the communication equip-
ment is improperly installed and the air bag
inflates, this could cause serious injury.
Installation of vehicle communication equipment
should be performed by a professional installer/
technician qualified in the requirements for such
installations. An air bag’s size, shape, and deploy-
ment area can vary by vehicle make, model, and
front compartment configuration (for example,
bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate
headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag
