WELCOME
The iDEN m470 integrated digital mobile allows you to place and receive phone calls, make and receive person-to-person or group radio calls, and receive alphanumeric messages exactly the same as you would with an m370 mobile. Refer to the m370 User’s Guide (Motorola part number 68P81078C55) for the description and operation of these features.
Unlike the m370 Mobile, the m470 Mobile provides an advanced feature set that includes:
• Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan,
• Emergency Group Call,
• Status Message, and
• Isolated Site Operation.
These advanced features are described in this supplementary manual. Additionally, the m470 has 9.6/4.8 kbs data functionality that allows it to initiate and receive data calls. For a complete description of these functions, refer to the Circuit Data User’s Guide (Motorola manual number 68P81084C18).

ADVANCED FEATURES ( m 470)
The m470 is provided with an advanced feature set as described in this section. Additionally, the m470 has 9.6/4.8 kbs data func­tionality and can initiate and receive data calls. For a complete description of these functions please refer to the Circuit Data User’s Guide (publication number 68P81084C18).
MULTI-SIMULTANEOUS TALKGROUP SCAN
Advanced Features
Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan (Scan) allows users within a fleet to monitor more than one talkgroup. A Talkgroup Mode, with ID’s in 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
PWR
Press the key to power on your unit. Press

ISOLATED SITE OPERATION
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 mobile will enter the ISO state when its cell becomes iso­lated from the network, assuming the mobile has no available neighbor cells. It will display one of the following screens: (The LED indicator is off in ISO unless the unit is transmitting. While

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
YOUR INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE MOBILE 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 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 0.03 of a watt to 3 watts.
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.
Antenna and Installation Considerations
All equipment must be properly installed according to Motorola installation instructions.
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 the ICNRP or the FCC.
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.
Do not operate the radio when any person is within 6 inches (0.15 meters) of the antenna. That person may be using a pacemaker, a

hearing aid or other personal electronic device which may not be adequately shielded.
Interference to other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed 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 energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
Use while driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the areas where you drive. Always obey them.
When using the phone while driving, please:
give full attention to driving and to the road;
!
C a u t i o n
use hands free operation, if available; and
pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Blasting Areas and Explosives
Do not operate the radio near electric blasting caps, or in a blasting area, to avoid the possibil-

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 deployment 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 information for the vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment installation.
