Basic Radio Features

Welcome to the Motorola MTS 2000 FLASHportTMportable radio. MTS 2000 radios are sophisticated, state-of-the-art communication units, with 16- and 160-mode models available in VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, or 900 MHz frequency ranges. Pioneering the latest technology in radio electronics, Motorola MTS 2000 radios provide features that were once only available in more expensive radios. Intelligent and flexible software increases the radio’s capability, decreases the radio's physical size, and permits many of the radio's features to be customized just for you.

FLASHport

Your MTS 2000 portable radio utilizes Motorola’s revolutionary FLASHport technology. This allows your radio’s capabilities to be flexible, because FLASHport makes it possible to add software that drives these capabilities both at the time of purchase and later on. Previously, changing a radio’s features and capabilities meant significant modifications, or buying a new radio. But now, similar to how a computer can be loaded with different software, your radio’s features and capabilities can be upgraded with software.

FLASHport allows you to add software to your radio as your needs change and as technology advances, making your radio investment go further.

FLASHport is the future of radio communications, and it’s yet another example of Motorola’s commitment to your satisfaction.

Antennas

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 identified on this label. A typical model number might be H01SDC9AA1AN. The fourth position of the model number (in this case “S”) identifies the operating frequency band of the radio. The Radio Operating-Frequency Chart lists all fourth-position alpha characters and corresponding frequency band.

Keypad

The 6-key (MTS 2000 II) or 15-key (MTS 2000 III) keypad controls or inputs data to many of your MTS 2000 radio’s features. Both keypads’ top three keys access many of these features. In addition, the 15-key keypad’s upper 12 keys are arranged, and function, like a standard telephone keypad. The bottom three keys of both keypads are the left arrow key, HOME key, and right arrow key.

Selecting a Feature

A unique feature of the MTS 2000 radio is its use of the display to give you quick access to many of the radio’s features without having to have a dedicated mechanical key for each feature.

The names of the features (CALL, MUTE, etc.) are shown on the display, three at a time, with key-like outlines to make them look like keys.

Selection of features is controlled by the three keys directly below the feature names: the left key controls the left feature, the middle key controls the middle feature, and the right key controls the right feature.

Left and Right Arrow Keys

The left ( ) and right ( ) arrow keys are used to scroll the display forward or backward through the radio’s features and lists. There is no end point to the list, so if you continue to scroll in one direction, the display will “wrap around” back to the beginning of the list. If you hold either key down, the display will scroll at a faster rate until the key is released.

The left arrow key is also used for editing when you are entering information manually from the keypad. Pressing the left arrow key will backspace, and erase the display, one character at a time. If you have erased all the digits, an additional press of the left arrow key will return the display to the preprogrammed list.

HOME Key

The HOME key will always return you to the home (default) display. In most cases, this is the current zone/mode. In addition, if you are using a feature that requires it, pressing the HOME key will also cause information to be saved in memory before going to the home display. Some radio features will automatically go to the home display when they are completed, without having to press the HOME key, thus reducing the number of keypresses required.

11 Getting Started (cont.)

Display

The MTS 2000 radio has a 14-character, one-line liquid-crystal display (LCD), which displays either alphanumeric messages or feature information. Above the character displays are eight status annunciators that indicate some of the radio’s operating conditions

Display Light

If poor light conditions make the display difficult to read, turn on the radio’s display backlight by pressing the light button (normally side button 1). This light will remain on for a preprogrammed time period before it turns off automatically, or you can turn it off immediately by pressing the light button again (the light can be turned off

12 Getting Started (cont.)

Alert Tone Indications

The MTS 2000 radio generates a number of audible tones to indicate radio

operating conditions:

•

Low Battery – A low-battery condition is indicated by a high-pitched, cricket-like

“chirp-chirp” when the PTT switch is released following a transmission.

•

Successful Power-Up – A shor t, medium-pitched tone when the radio is first

turned on indicates that the radio has passed its power-up self test and is ready for use.

•

Unsuccessful Power-Up – A short, low-pitched tone when the radio is first

turned on indicates that the radio has failed its power-up self test and is not ready for use. Contact your service representative for service.

•

Transmit on Receive-Only Mode – If you press the PTT switch while tuned to a

“receive-only” mode, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that no transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue until the PTT switch is released.

•

Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode – If you press the PTT switch while the mode is

busy, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that no transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue until the PTT switch is released.

•

Invalid Mode – A continuous, low-pitched tone is heard when an invalid or

unprogrammed operation is attempted on the radio.

•

Valid (Good) Key Press – A shor t, medium-pitched tone when a keypad key is

pressed indicates that the key press was accepted.

•

Invalid (Bad) Key Press – A short, low-pitched tone when a keypad key is

pressed indicates that the key press was rejected.

•

Emergency Alarm Entry – A short, medium-pitched tone when the emergency

button is pressed indicates that the radio has entered the emergency mode.

•

Emergency Alarm/Call Exit – A continuous, medium-pitched tone when the

radio is in the emergency mode indicates that the radio has exited the emergency mode.

•

Failsoft (Trunked Systems Only) – A faint “beeping” tone every ten seconds

indicates that the radio is operating in the failsoft mode.

•

Time-Out Timer Warning – Your radio’s time-out timer limits the length of your

transmission time. When you are pressing the PTT switch (transmitting), a short, low-pitched warning tone will sound four seconds before the allotted time will expire.

•

Time-Out Timer Timed-Out – If you hold down the PTT switch longer than the

time-out timer’s allotted time, a continuous, low-pitched tone will sound, indicating that your transmission has been cut off. This tone will continue until the PTT switch is released.

•

Phone Busy – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone when telephone interconnect is

accessed indicates that all available modes are busy and the radio is in queue for the next available phone line.

13 Getting Started (cont.)

Alert Tone Indications (cont.)

•

Call Alert™ (Page) Received – A group of four medium-pitched tones every five

seconds indicates that your radio has received a Call Alert page.

•

Call Alert™ (Page) Sent – A single medium-pitched tone (central

acknowledge), followed by a group of four medium-pitched tones indicates that

a Call Alert page sent by your radio has been received by the target radio.

•

Private Conversation™ Call Received – A group of two medium-pitched tones

(800MHz radios only) indicates that your radio has received a Private

Conversation call. For all other frequency radios and for enhanced Private

Conversation, this sequence will be repeated every five seconds for

approximately 20 seconds

•

Trunked System Busy (Trunked Systems Only) – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone

when a trunked system is accessed indicates that all available modes are busy

and the radio is in queue for the next available mode.

•

Call Back (Trunked Systems Only} – A group of three medium-pitched tones

(di-di-dit) indicates that a talkgroup is now available for your previously

requested transmission.

• Keyfail (SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only) – Indicates when there is a

problem with transmitting in encrypted (SECURENET) operation, due to loss

of the encryption key. If programmed and the key is lost or erased, a group of

six beeps sounds immediately. In addition, if the two-position concentric

switch is in the SECURENET ( ) position: (a) if programmed, and the PTT

switch

is not being pressed

seconds, or (b) if the PTT switch

continuous beeps until the PTT switch is released, after which (if

programmed) it will sound six beeps every 5 to 10 seconds. This will continue

until the two-position concentric switch is moved to the clear ( ) position, a

clear-only mode is selected, or the key is reloaded.

• Consecutive medium-pitched tones during a secure transmission indicate that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET) operation due to loss of the encryption key.

• Six medium-pitched tones every 5 to 10 seconds while the radio is not transmitting also serve as a reminder that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET) operation. The keyfail reminder will sound when the radio is in clear-only operation, which can be selected either by switching to a preprogrammed clear-only mode or by moving the two-position concentric switch to the clear ( ) position on a secure-/clear-selectable mode.

• Six medium-pitched tones when the radio is first turned on also indicate that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET) operation.

• Keyfail tones will not sound once the key has been reloaded.

• Clear Operation (SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only) – If the radio is so

programmed, one beep immediately after the PTT switch is pressed will indicate that your transmission is clear (non-encrypted).

LED Indications

The indicator LED on top of the radio indicates radio operating conditions:

A. With PTT switch pressed (radio transmitting)

•

Continuous red LED—normal transmission

•

LED unlit—radio is not transmitting

•

Blinking red light—Low battery (conventional radio only feature; programmable from the RSS)

B. With PTT switch released (radio receiving)

•

Blinking red light—Mode busy (conventional modes only)

•

Blinking green light—Receipt of a telephone call, Private Conversation call, or Call Alert page

Time-Out Timer

The time-out timer feature limits the amount of time that you can continuously

transmit on a mode. If you hold down the PTT switch longer than the allotted time:

•

A pre-alert warning tone will be generated four seconds before termination of your transmission to warn you that your conversation is about to be cut off.

•

Four seconds later your transmission is terminated and an alert tone is emitted until the PTT is released.

Conventional or Trunked Radio Operation

Your MTS 2000 radio is capable of both conventional and trunked operation:

•

Conventional Operation – During conventional operation, your MTS 2000

radio performs like a conventional two-way radio. That is, you must monitor the selected mode before transmitting (by checking the LED for mode busy [blinks red when busy] and listening for the “mode busy” tone, or pressing the monitor button) to ensure that you are observing standard two-way radio transmission protocol by not “talking over” someone who is already transmitting.

•

Trunked Operation – During trunked operation, your MTS 2000 radio offers a

number of advantages, including fast system access, enhanced privacy, and ease of operation. In a trunked system, there is no need for you to monitor a mode before transmitting.

15 Basic Radio Operation

Radio On/Off; Power-Up

1. Turn the radio on by rotating the volume control clockwise. The radio goes through a power-up self

check and, if it passes the check, the display momentarily shows “SELF TEST.” A good-powerup, high-pitched tone sounds to indicate that the radio has passed the self check.

If the radio fails the self check, the display shows

“ ERROR XX/XX” (where XX/XX is an alphanumeric error code), accompanied by a badpower-up, low-pitched tone. Turn the radio off, check the battery, and turn the radio back on. If the radio still does not pass the self check, a problem exists in the radio. Contact your nearest Motorola Service Shop.

Note: The power-up self check verifies that the radio’s microprocessor-based systems are working, but it does not check all of the rf components, nor does it check the operation of all customer-specific features. Motorola recommends that the functionality of the radio be periodically checked by an authorized Motorola service shop.

2. (SECURENET-equipped radios only) - If the encryption key has failed, the display will momentarily show “KEYFAIL,” accompanied by a six-beep keyfail tone. For SECURENET operation to function, reload the encryption key from a key variable loader (KVL).

3. Turn the radio off by rotating the volume control fully counterclockwise until you hear a click.

Monitoring (Conventional Modes Only)

Turn the radio on, momentarily press the monitor

button (typically side button 3), and listen for activity. To put the radio in permanent monitor operation (Private-Line®(PL) defeat), press and hold the monitor button for five seconds (programmable time). The radio emits a short, high-pitched tone as it enters the permanent monitor mode. To return the radio to its original squelch state, tap the monitor button again or press the PTT switch.

Note (Monitor Operation): SECURENET transmissions from a radio that has the same key as the monitoring radio will be heard clearly, unless the monitoring radio has had its key erased or is using a different key; then, the transmission will be heard as noise that is nearly indistinguishable from channel noise.

Conventional Modes

1. Turn the radio on and select the desired zone and mode (see “Selecting a Zone and Mode”).

2. Listen until you hear a transmission, then adjust the volume control for a

comfortable listening level. Or, if a button is programmed for “volume set,” press this button and adjust

the volume to a comfortable listening level.

Notes:

• The squelch opening level setting may be reprogrammed at an

authorized service facility.

• MTS 2000 SECURENET-equipped radios automatically determine whether a SECURENET or clear voice message is being received. This allows you to receive either type of message without having to reset the two-position concentric switch.

3. Your radio is now set to receive calls on the selected mode.

4. Refer to the Coded Squelch paragraph of the “General Radio Features Operation” section for Tone Private-Line operation.

Note: A mode-busy feature is available; the red LED will blink when your radio is receiving to indicate that the mode is busy. The radio will not unmute if the mode is busy with a coded-squelch message that is not intended for you (see “Coded Squelch Operation”).

Conventional Modes

1. Turn the radio on and select the desired zone and mode (see “Selecting a Zone and Mode”).

2. (SECURENET-equipped radios only). If the mode is programmed as neither secure-only nor clear-only, turn the two-position concentric switch to the desired postion ( = SECURENET voice transmission; = clear voice transmission).

3. Listen for a transmission and adjust the volume control for a comfortable listening level. Refer to step 2 of “Conventional Modes,” “Receiving a Call.”

4. Do not interrupt another user. If the mode on which you are transmitting is programmed to receive PL ( or the proper code if SECURENETequipped), ensure that the mode is not in use by momentarily depressing the monitor button to listen for activity. If the mode-busy feature is enabled, a blinking red LED on receive (PTT released) will indicate that the mode is currently busy and you should not transmit.

Note: The mode-busy feature is suggested for SECURENET-equipped radios, since monitoring of SECURENET activity with a different key will sound like noise that is nearly indistinguishable from channel noise.

5. When the mode is clear, press and hold the PTT switch on the side of the radio and speak slowly and clearly into the microphone area. The red LED will be lit continuously while the radio is transmitting. When you have finished talking (transmitting), release the PTT to listen (receive).

Notes:

• If a mode is programmed for receive only, any

attempt to transmit on that mode will cause an invalid-mode tone to sound until the PTT switch is released.

• To take full advantage of the noise-cancelling

Trunked Systems

1. Turn the radio on and select the desired trunked zone and mode (see “Selecting a Zone and Mode”).

2. (SECURENET-equipped radios only). If the mode is programmed as neither secure-only nor clear-only, turn the two-position concentric switch to the desired position ( = SECURENET voice transmission; = clear voice transmission).

3. Press and hold the PTT switch on the side of the radio and speak slowly and clearly into the microphone area. The red LED will be lit while the radio is transmitting. When your transmission is completed, release the PTT to listen.

Notes:

• If you hear a busy signal (a low-frequency “bah-

bah-bah-bah”), release the PTT switch and wait for a call-back tone (sounds like “di-di-dit”). When you hear the call-back tone you will have three seconds to press the PTT switch, allowing you to make your call without getting another busy signal.

• If a continuous talk-prohibit tone is heard when

the PTT switch is pressed, transmission is not possible. The radio may be out of range; or (SECURENET-equipped only) the two-position concentric switch may be in the incorrect position for that mode; for instance, the particular mode might be slaved encrypted voice and the switch set to the unencrypted voice position.

• Avoid blocking the noise-cancelling port during

transmitting so as to take full advantage of the noise-cancelling feature.

• Transmissions on modes (talkgroups) that are

programmed as neither secure-only nor clearonly can be changed from clear to SECURENET by turning the two-position concentric switch and pressing the PTT switch. However, you cannot change from SECURENET to clear during a transmission; you must wait until the transmission is ended before changing to clear operation.

• You will be able to change from clear operation

to SECURENET operation, but

not

from

SECURENET to clear during a call.

• If no secure voice channels are currently

available for a SECURENET transmission that you wish to make, the display will show “NO SECURE,” and you must switch to a clear mode or wait until a secure voice channel is available.

21 General Radio Features Operation

Low-Battery Alert

The radio will emit an alert tone to indicate a lowbattery condition if the battery voltage falls below the low-voltage level. The tone will be emitted when the PTT is released in the transmit mode, and when the lowbattery condition is detected in the receive mode.

Coded Squelch Operation

Tone Private-Line® (PL), Digital Private-Line™ (DPL), and carrier squelch operation are all available in the same radio, on a per-mode basis. When in carrier squelch operation, all traffic on the mode is heard. When in PL or DPL operation, your radio responds to only those messages intended for you. When this feature is mode-slaved, PL, DPL, or carrier squelch is programmed to each mode, and you need not move any switches for activation. Alternatively, this feature can be programmed to the ABC switch: carrier squelch operation in one switch position, and PL or DPL operation in another switch position.

Whenever the radio is operating in carrier squelch, the display will show the carrier-squelch annunciator.

SECURENET Operation

This information applies to both conventional and trunked systems.

1. A SECURENET module must be installed in the

radio.

2. An encryption key must be loaded from a key-

variable loader (KVL), using the correct loader for

the radio’s encryption type, into the radio’s

memory. To load the key, connect the keyloader

cable to the universal connector on the side of the

radio; refer to the KVL’s instruction manual for

loading procedure. While the keyloader is

attached, the display shows “KEYLOADING.” When

the key has been loaded successfully, the radio will

sound one long beep.

Notes:

• Normal radio transmit and receive will be

disabled while the cable is connected to the radio.

• The radio will abort a secure transmission when there is not a valid encryption key. When this happens, the display shows “KEYFAIL,” and a continuous keyfail tone (consecutive medium-pitched beeps) sounds until the PTT switch is released.

3. To erase a key, hold down the green side button 1 and the orange top button at the same time. When key erase is complete, the display will show “ERASED.”

Note: Do not press the orange top button first. This button may have been programmed for emergency operation.

If the battery is removed for more than approximately 30 seconds from a radio that is turned off, the key may be lost. The key may also be lost from a radio that is turned on if the battery is removed for any length of time, or if the battery’s charge is allowed to drop to too low a level. If the key is lost, it will have to be reloaded using the KVL. Battery removal

4. On SECURENET-equipped radios, the two-position

concentric switch selects whether the radio will be transmitting clear or secure audio, if a mode is programmed for neither secure- nor clear-only operation. The two-position concentric switch will set the transmit operation of the radio before PTT. The switch cannot change the transmit operation while the PTT is pressed.

If a mode is programmed for SECURENET-only operation, and the two-position concentric switch is in the clear ( ) position, when the PTT switch is pressed, the display will show “SECURE ONLY,” an invalid-mode tone will sound, and the radio will not transmit until the two-position concentric switch is set to the SECURENET ( ) position.

If a mode is programmed for clear-only operation, and the two-position concentric switch is in the SECURENET ( ) position, when the PTT switch is pressed, the display will show “CLEAR ONLY,” an invalid-mode tone will sound, and the radio will not transmit until the two-position concentric switch is set to the clear ( ) position.

Variable RF Power Level (VHF and UHF Radios Only)

VHF and UHF radios can have more than one power level. High power can be programmed on those modes where the frequency is licensed for high power, and low power can be programmed on all other modes. The high-/low-power feature can also be programmed to the ABC switch, with one switch position being lowpower operation, and another switch position being high-power operation.

Emergency Operation

Pressing the orange top emergency button (for radios with emergency operation) will send out an emergency signal, which takes precedence over any other signalling activity in progress. This emergency signal can take two forms: emergency alarm and emergency call. The MTS 2000 radio can have either or both signal types enabled.

Emergency Operation (cont.)

Sending an Emergency Alarm

1. Press and hold the emergency button (the length of button press is RSS programmable) until the LED lights solid red and the display alternates between showing “EMERGENCY” and the current zone and mode. A short, medium-pitched emergency tone sounds.

2. When the trunked emergency alarm is acknowledged by the central controller, the radio sounds four beeps and the alarm ends. The radio returns to normal operation or, if enabled in your radio (trunked emergency call systems only), enters at step 3 of “Sending an Emergency Call.” While in emergency call operation, subsequent presses of the emergency button will reinitiate the emergency silence sequence.

Unmute Option - With this option enabled, the radio will unmute to all voice activity on the emergency channel. If disabled, the radio will operate as normal, muting all voice activity on the emergency channel until the emergency alarm is cancelled. This option is RSS programmable.

Sending a Silent Emergency Alarm In radios with the silent emergency alarm option

enabled, pressing the emergency button sends an emergency signal to the dispatcher. During the emergency alarm procedure: the LED will not light, tones will not be heard, and the display will not change.

The audio will be muted (turned off), and will

remain so until you exit the emergency state.

Cancelling an Emergency Alarm Press the emergency button for more than 1 1/2

seconds (programmable); a medium-pitched emergencyexit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio returns to normal operation.

The alarm will also be cancelled (without

emergency-exit tone) by:

• pressing the PTT switch (see the note below),

• turning the radio off, or

• receiving an acknowledge from the dispatcher.

Sending an Emergency Call (Radios With Trunked Emergency Call Operation Only)

1. Press the emergency button. The LED lights solid red, the display alternates between showing “EMERGENCY” and the current trunked zone and mode, and a short, medium-pitched emergency tone sounds.

2. Press the PTT switch to request a priority mode assignment in the trunked system.

3. While the radio is in emergency call operation it operates in the usual dispatch manner.

Note:

• The trunked mode you will talk to in an

emergency is controlled by whether your radio is programmed for tactical or non-tactical operation. If tactical, you will be talking to the mode you selected before entering emergency call; if non-tactical, you will talk to a preprogrammed emergency mode.

• If you change trunked modes while in

emergency call operation, the emergency call will be moved to, and continued on, the new mode.

4. It is important that you exit the emergency call mode when you have finished your emergency call. To do this, press the emergency button for more than 1 1/2 seconds (programmable). You will hear a medium-pitched emergency-exit tone until the emergency button is released, and the radio will return to normal operation.

Emergency with Voice to Follow With this feature (aka "Hot Microphone"), the radio

is placed in the transmit mode for a preprogrammed period of time (programmable by RSS) after the emergency alarm is activated. During this time period, the "hands-free" mode is activated, and voice transmisions can be made without pressing the PTT.

After the transmit time has expired, the unit will dekey and go into a receive mode as it normally does after dekeying. At this point, normal operation resumes; the user will be required to press PTT for any further transmissions on that emergency channel.

26 General Radio Features Operation

(cont.)

Failsoft Operation (Trunked Systems Only)

The “failsoft” system ensures that you will continue to have radio communications capability in the event of trunked system failure. During trunked operation, the radio will automatically go into failsoft operation if the central trunking controller fails for any reason. While in failsoft, your radio will transmit and receive on a predetermined frequency on a conventional, as opposed to trunked, mode. When the trunked system returns to normal operation, the radio will automatically leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.

Clear or SECURENET operation will be determined by the preprogramming of the selected mode (talkgroup), if so programmed. Otherwise, transmit operation will be controlled by the position of the twoposition concentric switch. You from SECURENET operation to clear operation, or from clear to SECURENET, during a call.

When the radio is in failsoft operation, you will hear a faint “beeping” sound every ten seconds, and the radio will become unsquelched. At the same time, the display will alternate between showing “FAILSOFT” and the current active trunked zone.

Scan Operation

The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different conventional or trunked modes by scanning a “scan list” of modes. Each scan list can contain as many as 16 different modes; each radio can have up to 20 different scan lists. The modes to be scanned in a scan list can be programmed with the radio service software (RSS).

Three types of scan lists are available (Refer to the RSS manual for additional information):

• Trunking Priority Monitor—Comprises modes that

are all from the same trunked system.

• Conventional—Comprises conventional-only modes.

• Talkgroup Scan—Comprises conventional modes

and trunked modes from more than one trunking

system. Priority operation

type of list.

The radio supports both priority and non-priority scanning. With priority scanning enabled, a scan list can have one mode assigned as the first priority mode, and a second as the second priority mode.

All MTS 2000 radios support automatic scanning (autoscan), which is programmed into the radio through the RSS. With this feature, the radio begins scanning whenever you select a mode to which a scan list is assigned (strapped). The radio will continue autoscanning until you select a mode that does not have autoscan enabled.

In radios that are not SECURENET-equipped, scan can can be selected by the scan select switch (twoposition concentric switch) or the menu.

the telephone system (no dial tone heard), you will have to press the HOME key or the phone button to hang up, and start again at step 1 of this procedure.

• If you are out of range of the trunked system or

the phone interconnect is out of service, “NO PHONE” is displayed and a continuous low-pitched

tone sounds.

• If the trunked phone interconnect is in use, a busy

tone sounds and “PHONE BUSY” is displayed. Your number will automatically be dialed when the phone interconnect becomes available. If you hang up, you will lose your place in line.

5. If the access was successful, you will hear a dial tone. The display will again show the number dialed.

6. The telephone number will be sent out; you will hear tones as they are being sent. When the number has been completely sent out, you will hear either a busy signal or ringing. If you hear a busy signal, go to step 8 for hang-up procedure.

7. If the party you are calling answers, carry on with your conversation in the normal manner. Press the PTT switch to talk; release the PTT to listen.

Notes:

• After reaching the number you are calling, you

may need to dial an extension number before you can reach your party. If this is the case, enter the extension number from the keypad (MTS 2000 III model only) or (if so programmed) use the arrow keys to find the extension number in the telephone list. Press the PTT switch again to send out the extension number.

• Motorola trunked radios generate a high-pitched

go-ahead tone when the radio's PTT switch is released. This is heard by the land-line party and is an indicator to begin talking.

8. When you have finished your conversation, or if the number you are calling is busy or does not answer, press the HOME key or the phone button to send the hang-up code. The radio will return to the home display.

Conventional Radio Features Operation

Stat-AlertTM(MDC-1200TM) Signalling Features

Stat-Alert—Emergency

If this feature is enabled in your radio, pressing the emergency button (the orange top button) will send out an emergency alarm signal. This signal takes precedence over any other signalling activity in progress.

“Emergency” signals a critical situation. It should never be used for any other reason.

Sending an Emergency Alarm

1. Press and hold the emergency button (the length of the button press is RSS

programmable) until the LED lights solid red and the display alternates

between showing “EMERGENCY” and the current zone and mode. A short,

medium-pitched emergency tone sounds.

2. When the alarm is acknowledged by the base, the radio sounds four beeps

and the alarm ends. The radio returns to normal operation.

Sending a Silent Emergency Alarm

In radios with the silent emergency alarm option enabled, pressing the emergency button sends an emergency signal to the dispatcher. During the emergency alarm procedure: the LED will not light, tones will not be heard, and the display will not change.

The receive audio will be muted (turned off), and will remain so until you exit the emergency state. As an option, the receive audio can be enabled to allow you to hear messages.

Cancelling an Emergency Alarm

Press the emergency button for more than 1 1/2 seconds (programmable). A medium-pitched, emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio returns to normal operation.

The alarm will also be cancelled (without emergency-exit tone) by:

• pressing the PTT switch,

• turning the radio off, or

• receiving an acknowledge from the dispatcher.

Stat-Alert - Emergency Hot Microphone

This feature will automatically send an emergency alarm and start the radio transmitting using either the internal microphone or the optional remote speaker microphone.

Both emergency alarm and call must be enabled. Initiate the emergency. The radio will send an alarm and begin transmitting on the specified emergency group through the internal microphone or remote speaker microphone for a preprogrammed transmit time. The radio will remain in normal emergency call after the transmit time has expired. To re-initiate the hot-microphone emergency, you must exit and re-start the emergency.

70

Radio Operation with Features (cont.)

Stat-Alert—PTT-ID

Stat-Alert PTT-ID is a per-mode feature describing an identification code transmission that is tied to the PTT switch. The ID code is automatically sent every time a voice transmission occurs (that is, the PTT switch is pressed). When PTT-ID comes before the voice transmission, you will hear a tone until the ID transmission is completed; this helps you avoid talking while the ID code is being transmitted. This tone can be disabled on a per-radio basis. Also, the ID code transmission can be programmed to follow the voice transmission.

Stat-Alert—Call Alert™ (Page) (Decode)

Stat-Alert Call Alert is a per -radio feature that provides a convenient way for the dispatcher to page you through your radio. This is especially useful in noisy environments, or when you may need to be away from your radio equipment. When a Call Alert (page) is received, the radio emits a continuous series of four beeps and the LED flashes green. On the display, the call-received status annunciator ( ) flashes. The green flashing LED, alert tone, and flashing annunciator will continue until the Call Alert is acknowledged (you press the PTT, or press and release the monitor button).

Stat-Alert Call Alert (Page) (Encode)

This feature allows a radio to page another radio or group of radios with its ID.

Sending the Call Alert

To make a Call Alert, either press the “page” button or select PAGE from the

menu. The last transmitted or received ID is displayed. You can select the ID

you wish to page by scrolling forward with the mode selector to select an ID

from the page list. You may also scroll backward with the arrow keys to show

the last group ID paged, your own radio ID and your own radio group ID. If

unlimited page is allowed, you may enter an ID from the keypad.

Note: Keypad entry only applies to Model III.

To transmit a page to the selected ID, either press the PTT or the select

button. The radio will display “ACKNOWLEDGE” if received or

“NO ACKNOWLEDGE” if the paged radio is not reached.

Receiving a Call Alert

The radio receiving the page will display “PAGE RECEIVED” and generate

page received alert tones until the page is cancelled by any button press

other than DIM. The ID of the paging radio may be viewed by entering PAGE

via button or menu (Model II only).

Wildcard ID Entry

In both Selective Call and Call Alert, a * will match any number in the ID

position. For example, paging ID 000* will page all IDs from 0000-0009.

Paging **** will page all radios on the system.

71

Radio Operation with Features (cont.)

Stat-Alert—Voice Selective-Call (Decode)

This feature provides a convenient way for a dispatcher to voice page an individual or group. Voice selective-call decode also eliminates the need for you to listen to traffic that is of no concern to you. This is a per-radio feature, enabled on a per-mode basis, and available as individual call or group call.

1. When a call is received, the green LED flashes, and a one-time, two-beep

alert tone is emitted; on the display, the call-received status annunciator ( )

flashes. A voice message will follow. The green LED will continue to flash for

the entire length of the message.

2. Return the radio back to voice selective-call operation by pressing the monitor

button or, if so programmed, the radio will automatically reset.

Two automatic-reset features are available for voice selective-call:

• Automatic Reset Without Carrier Override — The automatic-reset timer will start after the voice selective-call code is lost or after the radio is dekeyed (you release the PTT switch).

• Automatic Reset With Carrier Override — When a carrier is detected, the automatic reset timer will stop; when the carrier is lost, the automatic-reset timer will start over.

Note: Voice selective-call automatic reset is cancelled when the monitor button is pressed or when the mode is changed. The automatic-reset timer is started over if it was running when either a voice selective-call was decoded or a successful transmission was initiated.

Stat-Alert—Radio Check

This feature allows the dispatcher to determine if a radio unit is on the air without disturbing the radio operator. This is a useful tool for the radio dispatcher to use for routine maintenance checks, or if there is reason to doubt the availability of a radio unit. When the dispatcher "checks" for the radio, the radio will receive the command and automatically acknowledge it. The transmit (red) LED will light when the radio sends the acknowledgement.

72

Conventional Radio Features Operation (cont.)

Stat-Alert Selective Call Selective Call is another method of unmuting a radio with other than PL

codes. Radios with Selective Call may be programmed to unmute one of two ways:

1. (OR muting option) upon receiving proper PL code or a Selective Call, or

2. (AND muting option) upon receiving both proper PL code and Selective Call

Making a Selective Call Either press the “call” button or select PRIVATE CALL from the menu. The

last transmitted or received ID is displayed. You can select the ID you wish to call by scrolling forward with the arrow keys to select an ID from the call list. You may also scroll backward with the arrow keys to show the last group ID called, your own radio ID and your own radio group ID. If unlimited calling is allowed, you may enter an ID from the keypad.

Note: Keypad entry only applies to Model III. To transmit a call to the selected ID, press the PTT. If automatic Selective Call

is enabled, your radio will remain in Selective Call until you exit. If automatic Selective Call is disabled in your radio, the radio will immediately exit Selective Call when you release the PTT.

Receiving a Selective Call When receiving a selective call, your radio will generate the call received tone

and display “CALL RECEIVED” momentarily. The Selective Call voice will then be heard.

If OR muting is programmed into your radio, your radio will unmute whenever it receives proper PL or a Selective Call.

If AND muting is programmed into your radio, your radio must receive proper PL and a Selective Call to unmute. For a pre-programmed time after receiving a Selective Call, your radio will unmute on proper PL. After this preprogrammed time, another Selective Call with proper PL will be required to unmute the radio.

radio's operating range. The transmit frequency is not the same as the

receive frequency.

• If the repeat/direct feature is slaved to a mode, that mode is programmed

to either one or the other type of operation (direct or repeat).

• If the repeat/direct feature is programmed, through the RSS, to the three-

position toggle switch, one position on the switch will select repeat operation,

and another position will select direct operation.

• If the repeat/direct feature is programmed, by the RSS, to the keypad,

change the repeat/direct setting by doing the following:

1. Press the right arrow ( ) key until “DIR” appears on the display.

2. Press the key below “DIR.” The current talkaround state (“REPEATER MODE” or “DIRECT MODE”) appears on the display for a few seconds. Then, the display shows “RPTR” and “DIR.”

3. Press the key below the desired talkaround state (RPTR or DIR). The radio automatically returns to the home display.

74 Conventional Radio Features

Operation (cont.)

Smart PTT

Smart PTT is a per-mode feature which gives the system manager better control of radio operators. When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you will not be able to transmit on an active mode. Also, the monitor function will be disabled on modes programmed with smart PTT. Three radio-wide variations of smar t PTT are available:

• Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode—With this feature enabled, you will be

inhibited from transmitting if any activity is detected on the mode.

• Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode with Wrong Squelch Code—With this

feature enabled, you will be inhibited from transmitting on an active mode

with a squelch code or (if SECURENET-equipped) encryption key other than

your own. If the PL or encryption code is the same as yours, the

transmission will not be inhibited.

• Quick-Key Override—This feature can work in conjunction with either of the

two above variations. With this feature enabled, you will be able to override

the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying (two PTT presses within one second

of each other) the radio.

Smart PTT radio operation is exactly the same as standard radio operation, except that, if you try to transmit (press the PTT) on a smart PTT mode, a continuous alert tone is generated until the PTT is released; the transmission will be inhibited.

The red LED will blink when the radio is receiving to indicate that the mode is busy.

Trunked Enhanced Private Conversation™ Call Operation

The Enhanced Private Conversation feature not only allows you to carry on a conversation that is heard only by the two parties involved, but also enables you to determine whether the radio that you are calling is in service. The radio being called can also view the calling radio's ID number before answering. You can then choose whether or not to leave your radio’s ID number (via a Call Alert page) with the radio you are calling so that you may be called back. Enhanced Private Conversation operation is similar to telephone operation.

Note: When you are making a call, transmit

operation will be controlled by the position of the two-

position concentric switch. You

the call response button, the response will be

transmitted to everyone in the talkgroup (see

Note: Any button press, keypad press, or mode

change will turn the Call Alert audible and visual

indicators off.

2. To answer the page, press the PTT switch. The

manner; all members of your talkgroup will hear

your response. Press the PTT switch to talk;

release the switch to listen.
