Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of the Motorola MTH800.
Enhanced TETRA features and state-of-the-art technology
help to keep you in constant touch with all of your work and
personal contacts.
You can operate your MTH800 in English, German, French,
Spanish, Dutch, or in a language defined by your Service
Provider. The default setting from factory is English. For more
information, please see “Setting the Display’s Working
Language” on page 83.
How to Use this Guide
This guide describes the MTH800 features as setup and preprogrammed at the factory.
Your Service Provider or your organisation may have
customised your MTH800 to optimise its use for your
individual needs. Check with your Service Provider or
organisation to find out the differences from this guide.

Charging the Battery
Motorola approved chargers provide optimum performance.
Other chargers may not fully charge your Motorola LithiumIon battery or may reduce the life of the battery.
The MTH800 can be either
1. Insert the connector on the charger into the socket at the base
of the MTH800. Select the required plug adapter (UK or European type) and connect to the charger. Then plug the charger
into a suitable mains socket.
2. The MTH800 displays the Charger Connected message only
if the MTH800 is On when conne cting the cha r ge r. If the
MTH800 is Off, the display shows an icon of the battery in
charging.
The Battery icon shows the chargi ng status (see below).

Battery Maintenance
The performance of the rechargeable battery delivered with
your terminal depends on the way the battery is treated.
Therefore, to comply with the Motorola warranty for batteries
and to assure high performance and a long life cycle of your
Motorola rechargeable battery, please read and follow the
maintenance rules stated bel ow.
Storage
Do not store your battery where the temperatures will exceed
65 °C or fall below -20 °C.
New Lithium-Ion batteries (i.e.batteries that have never been
charged before) may be stored for up to 2 years (with up to
50% of maximum charge) in well ventila ted, cool and dry
areas with some capacity loss in life cycle.
Batteries, which have already been charged and then stored
for more than 2 months should be recharged overnight (1416 hours) before use.
6
Extending Battery Life
A battery is an expendable part and may need replacing
during the life of the terminal.To ensure maximum service life
of your handset, always replace the battery with a genuine
Motorola replacement.
In order to ensure maximum life from your battery, do not
place the handset and/or battery in the charger, unless you
really want to charge the battery.
Battery Charging Temperature
Your charger will only charge your battery when it is at
temperature range of 1 °C to 37°C.
This is due to the fact that the internal battery cell can be
charged in the temperature range of 0 °C to 45 °C.
As the temperature gets colder (close to 0 °C) less capacity
is stored in the battery.
If, during charging, the temperature is out of range, the
battery might not be fully charged since the charging is
temporarily stopped until the temperature becomes suitable.
The range of battery operation is from 0 °C to +45 °C in
charger mode and from -10 °C to +60 °C in discharge
(application) mode.
First Time Battery Charging
Always charge your new battery/(whichever type) overnight
(14-16 hours) before using it.This is referred to as Initialising
and will ensure maximum battery start capacity.
Getting Started
Battery Charging Rules
Generally, to reduce the number of charge cycles as much
as you can wait for Low Battery message to charge as this
will ensure maximum battery life.
Do not use your charger as a terminal stand or leave your
terminal and fully charged battery connected to the charger
whilst not charging. Continuous charging will shorten the
battery life.

Attaching the Antenna
Turn the MTH800 Off before installing or removing the antenna.
Insert the bottom of the antenna into the screw-in base on the
top of the MTH800. Turn counter clockwise until snug. Do
not force.

Selecting Your Network
Before you start operating your MTH800, you can select the
network you want your
MTH800 to be registered to. For
detailed information, see “Networks” on page 101.
How to Hold Your MTH800
The terminal has two microphones: a top microphone for
half-duplex dispatcher calls and a bottom microphone for fullduplex telephone-like calls.
A call can be placed in high or low audio. To activate low or
high audio, see page 21.
In high audio the user transmits via the top microphone and
listens via the internal speaker.
In low audio the user speaks into the bottom microphone and
listens via the earpiece.
Group and Private Calls are half-duplex calls and can be
placed in high or low audio.
Phone, PABX, and full-duplex Private Calls are placed in low
audio. The speakerphone feature allows to hold Phone,
PABX, and full-duplex Private Calls via the MTH800 internal
speaker.
Getting Started
13
Use in Low Audio (Phone, PABX, and Full-duplex Private Calls)
When placing or receiving a call and while speaking, hold
your MTH800 as you would a telephone. Speak into the
bottom microphone. Listen via the earpiece.
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimetres from your head and
body.
Use in High Audio (Group and Private Calls)
Hold MTH800 in a vertical position with its top microphone
5.0 to 10 centimetres away from your mouth. Speak into the
top microphone. Listen via the terminal's internal speaker.
Keep antenna at least 2.5 centimetres from your head and
body.
Lapel/Shoulder Use
For Group and Private Calls turn your head towards your
shoulder/lapel, and speak directly into the top microphone.
Listen via the terminal's internal speaker.
Speakerphone Use
Place the MTH800 30 to 60 centimetres away from you. In a
noisy environment, you may want to move the MTH800 closer
to you for better transmission.
Looking after your MTH800
Never leave your MTH800 or battery in extreme
temperatures (over 60 °C)—for example, behind windscreen
in very hot, direct sunlight. Do not immerse your MTH800 in
water.
To clean your
DO NOT use a dry or electrostatically charged cloth.
