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.

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 TMO or DMO Operation

General

In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) the MTH800 is used with the infrastructure services within system coverage.

In Direct Mode Operation (DMO) the MTH800 is used without infrastructure services required.

While operating in DMO the propagation travels directly from the transmitting terminal antenna to the receiving terminal antenna, with no assistance from any base station or tower. Therefore, the range is critically dependent on the position of the user and the antenna. To achieve best results, hold the terminal in the hand as high as comfortably possible, and be sure not to obstruct the antenna in any way. Be sure that the antenna is clear from the body, cables, or other obstructions. As there is no tower-mounted base station to assist, and the two users are usually standing at ground level, the range is usually shorter than that can be achieved towards a tower or hilltop. Any obstructions (hills, buildings, etc.) between the users will further decrease the range. Conversely, raising the terminal higher or moving to a higher location may improve the range.

Getting Started

MTH800 in DMO can communicate with the trunked

system (and vice-versa) through a gateway device. To use that feature, please enable the gateway option in your MTH800 (see “Making a DMO Group Call via Gateway” on

page 43).

In DMO it is only possible to place Group calls and Emergency Group Calls.

Entering TMO or DMO

Enter TMO or DMO in one of the following ways:

• From the Home display press

if the MTH800 is in TMO.

• From the Home display press Optns and select Trunked

Mode

if the MTH800 is in DMO.

• Press and select More...> Networks > Trunked

Mode if the MTH800 is in DMO.

• Press and select More...> Networks > Direct Mode

if the MTH800 is in TMO.

• Press the TMO/DMO one-touch button (if programmed by

your Service Provider).

Your terminal can alert you of an incoming call. Select the alert settings in the Vibrate menu and Tones menu items.

Optns and select Direct Mode

TMO Calls

You can make and receive the following types of calls when the MTH800 operates in Trunked Mode:

• Group Calls

• Private Calls

• Phone Calls

• PABX Calls—local (office) extension calls

• Emergency Calls

DMO Calls

You can make and receive Group Calls when the MTH800 operates in Direct Mode (DMO). This includes Emergency Group Calls.

The MTH800 returns to the Home display when there is no activity for a few seconds.

Making Calls

See the relevant sections in the user guide.

Modifying the Type of Call

The infrastructure can modify the type of call you started. For example, you might start a a half-duplex Private Call, and

the infrastructure could modify the call to a Group Call. The terminal will alert you of the modification and will display

the following messages, depending on the type of call:

• Call Modified (to full-duplex)

• Call Modified Use PTT (modified to half-d upl ex)

Continue the modified call depending on the type of call.

• Half-duplex Private Call modified from direct setup to hook setup: a ringing tone will alert of the change.

• Half-duplex Private Call modified from hook setup to direct setup: there will be no indication of the change.

Receiving Calls

The MTH800 will automatically receive the incoming call. Additionally, if Inactivity Revert Mode is enabled, the MTH800 returns automatically to the Home display, after that call ends.

Getting Started

Inactivity Revert Mode will occur if configured by your Service Provider.

Your MTH800 will alert you of an incoming call depending on the setting you selected in the Vibrate menu option (see page 81) and the Tones menu option (see page 85).

During message editing, you will be alerted of an incoming Group/Emergency/Broadcast Group Call if configured by your Service Pro vider.

Preemptive Calling

Preemptive calling is particularly useful when you need to speak urgently with a user whose terminal is busy in a nonemergency voice call.

A preemptive priority call (PPC) is either an Emergency Group Call or a Private PPC (half-duplex or full-duplex call).

The feature allows to disconnect the on-going lower priority call and to connect to the incoming higher priority call.

To place a PPC, see the Emergency Operation and Private Call sections in the user guide.

The MTH800 will receive the call via speaker or earpiece, according to the setting used when the PPC is received.

For call alert, see settings in the Vibrate menu option (page 81) and the Tones menu option (page 85)

Receiving a PPC is explained in the following paragraphs. In the screens,

<Any> in Use refers to any of the non-

emergency voice calls: Group, Private, Phone, or PABX.

Broadcast Call

The Broadcast Group Call (also called Site Wide Call) is a high-priority group call from the console operator (or dispatcher) to all users located at one or more sites. The terminals are configured to monitor a Broadcast Call, but the users cannot talk back.

The call can be received as normal Broadcast Call or Emergency Broadcast Call.

The Broadcast Call preempts an on-going Group Call that has the same (or lower) call priority.

For selecting a talkgroup during a broadcast call, see “Selecting a Group” on page 33. For changing folder during a broadcast call, see “Selecting a Folder” on page 35.

Ambience Listening (AL)

This feature, if enabled by your Service Provider, allows a console operator (or dispatcher) to establish a special call with a specific terminal to monitor voice activity in the local vicinity. The call is setup without any indication to the affected terminal, and any lower priority ongoing voice call or packet data transfer may be pre-empted.

After accepting the call, the terminal transmits in a halfduplex Private Call without any action from or indication to the user. The Ambience Listening call shall automatically end when the user initiates any voice call and uses the terminal normally.

TMO Group Call

General

A Group Call is an instant communication between you and others in a talkgroup that you select. Participants may join (late entry) and leave an on-going Group Call. A talkgroup is a pre-defined set of subscribers enabled to participate in and/ or invoke a Group Call, that is set up by your Service Provider.

Talkgroups appear on your display as names or numbers (for example: Sales, Service, Electricians, Talkgrp10).

Talkgroups are divided into folders. Each folder may contain several talkgroups.

For ease of use, your MTH800 also provides the ability to:

• Perform an alphabetical search of the talkgroup aliases. Scroll through the entire talkgroup list.

• Organise your favourite groups into one folder called My Groups (set up by your Service Provider).

Your talkgroups may be organized into scan lists (set up by your Service Provider, or by yourself through the Menu). When you activate one of these scan lists, your continuously monitor the activities of the selected talkgroups.

By assigning priorities to the talkgroups defined in the scan list, you will be capable of accepting calls that have higher priority than the on-going call.

You can start talkgroup, folder, or scanning selection when the terminal is idle or receiving a call.

When receiving a call, choose one of the following:

• Exit selection screen to join the call.

• Join the call from the selection screen by pressing PTT.

• Continue selection.

MTH800 will

Each talkgroup may have one associated Announcement Talkgroup (ATG) that it monitors (if set up by your Service

Provider). An ATG is a special group which is linked to a number of

talkgroups and has the highest priority level, thus enabling broadcast of the call to all these talkgroups.

When an ATG is selected, the scanning icon is not displayed. The

MTH800 monitors the ATG scan list instead of the

selected scan list. The ATG scan list contains all the talkgroups associated with a selected ATG. Your Service Provider should advise what talkgroups are associated with which Announcement Talkgroup.

Y our MTH8 00 will always monitor the Group Calls in the ATG scan list. To place an Announcement Call, you must first select the specified Announcement Talkgroup as advised by your Service Provider, otherwise you will only be able to participate when an Announcement Talkgroup is received.

Activation and deactivation of talkgroup scanning has no effect on the ATG scan list.

Group Scrolling Configuration

Your Service Provider can configure scrolling via rotary knob or navigation key as follows:

• Scroll to next folder—when the folder end is reached during group scrolling, further scrolling switches to the group list in the next folder.

For example: Folder 1 has Group11 and Group12. Folder 2

has Group21 and Group22. Group11, Group12, Group21, Group22 will appear during scrolling.

• Stay in folder—when the folder end is reached during group scrolling, further scrolling restarts the folder group list. To move to the next Folder, you should select it.

For exampl e: Folder 1 has Group11 and Group12. Folder

2 has Group21 and Group22. Select Folder 1: Group11, Group12, Group11,Group12 will appear during scrolling. Change to Folder 2: Group 21, Group 22, Group 21, and Group 22 will appear during scrolling.

In addition, your Service Provider might configure the rotary knob as follows:

• End-Stop Rotary Knob Scrolling—the rotary knob will stop when it reaches the last group in the folder, and a tone will alert you that you have reached the last group in the folder. Use the navigation key to continue scrolling through the list.

Tra nsmi t Inhibit

You can activate the Transmit Inhibit (TXI) Mode before entering RF sensitive areas, e.g. in hospitals or in potentially explosive areas, where safety can be jeopardized due to MTH800 transmission radiation.

Radiation of the MTH800 is only suppressed if the TXI Mode is activated or the MTH800 is separated from power supply.

TMO Group Call

In TXI Mode the MTH800 will not transmit under any circumstances, except for the Emergency Call, which can be initiated even if the MTH800 is in TXI Mode.

All MTH800 functions and keys which cause transmission, e.g. registration to the network, change of talkgroup or folder, sending messages, pressing PTT, etc. are disabled. In this case the display shows “Not Allowed In TXI Mode” and the MTH800 sounds the “Transmit Inhibit” tone.

When no danger to safety exists anymore (for instance if you leave the RF sensitive area), the TXI Mode can be deactivated and the MTH800 returns to standard operation.

Setting the TXI Mode is described in “Setting Transmit Inhibit (TXI) Mode” on page 102.

Dynamic Group Number Assignment (DGNA)

DGNA provides the ability for a network operator or authorised user to dynamically allocate new, or update existing talkgroups to selected terminals over the air interface. Using supplementary services messages (SSDGNA), the network operator can command your terminal to add talkgroups or to update the existing talkgroups, or to delete talkgroups from the list. This operation is performed by

transmitting the data into your MTH800.

Your Service Provider can gather some Talkgroups under one Supergroup and transmit it to your MTH800 as a DGNA. In such a case, you will be able to participate in calls to/from all the groups in the Supergroup.

DMO Group Call

General

In DMO, the MTH800 can be used without your Service Provider’s infrastructure.

Direct Mode allows communication with other terminals also operating in Direct Mode, which are on the same frequency and talkgroup as your MTH800.

In DMO it is only possible to place Group Calls and Emergency Group Calls.

You can receive a call:

• From the selected talkgroup

• From other users within talkback range (if configured by your Service Provider). This is called an InterMNI (Mobile Network identity) call.

• From an open group. (An open group is a super-group to which all DMO groups belong.)

When you start a call, the members of the selected talkgroup who have their units turned on, and are within the group subscriber identi ty (as con f ig ured by the Ser v ic e Prov ide r ), will receive the transmission.

In DMO the MTH800 can communicate with the trunking system (and vice-versa) if the Gateway option is enabled in the MTH800.

General

A Private Call, also called Point-to-Point or individual call, is a call between two individuals. No other terminal can hear the conversation. This cal l can be a full -dup lex call (if the syst em allows) instead of the standard half-duplex call. In a fullduplex call, both participants can speak at the same time, while in a half-duplex call, only one person can speak at a time.

For operating the MTH800 in RF sensitive areas, see “Transmit Inhibit” on page 39.

While Transmit Inhibit is activated, an incoming Private Call is indicated, but it is not possible to answer the call.

Emergency in TMO

Overview

Please check with your Service Provider for the configuration of your terminal.

Your terminal may be configured with one of the following:

• Emergency Group Call

The terminal will enter Emergency Mode when you press and hold the Emergency button.

The Emergency Mode allows you to use the PTT to transmit with Emergency priority (by either initiating an Emergency Group Call or requesting emergency transmit priority).

After entering Emergency Mode, you may send an Emergency Alarm (if configured) and then start the Emergency Group Call and activate Hot Microphone (if configured).

The Emergency Alarm is a special Status message sent to the infrastructure before the Emergency Group Call starts. The terminal may wait for infrastructure acknowledge for this Alarm and attempt retries. Each time you press the Emergency button, the terminal will send an Emergency Alarm.

Hot Mic (Hot Microphone) allows you to talk without pressing the PTT. Pressing PTT during Hot Mic ends Hot Mic transmission. Pressing the End soft key ends Hot Mic activity. If Hot Mic is disabled, then use PTT to talk.

• Emergency Private Call (half-duplex or full-duplex)

The terminal will start an Emergency Private Call to a pre- defined ID when you press and hold the Emergency button.

If an Emergency Private Call gets modified to an Emergency Group Call, the terminal will enter Emergency Mode and will leave the Emergency Mode when the call ends.

Emergency Operation

Changing Folder or Group

See Group Call section on page 32.

Entering or Exiting Emergency Mode

Upon entry into Emergency Mode any existing call or service other than packet data service will be aborted or cleared down.

In Emergency Mode, the terminal will automatically reject Phone, PABX and Private Calls, and will not monitor the groups in the user selected scan list. If an ATG is the selected group, however, the terminal will monitor the sub-

groups associated with the ATG. The terminal will remain in Emergency Mode until you exist it.

Press and hold the Emergency button to enter Emergency Mo de.

When the MTH800 is Off, press this button to power the MTH800 On in Emergency Mode (if configured).

GPS Location Services

Your terminal’s GPS Location feature uses information from Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your terminal. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are using the terminal.

For example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in other situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.

SEE: IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind.

The GPS location Service can assist your Dispatcher or Colleagues in many ways such as more efficient deployment of resources or locating your terminal if you trigger your emergency service.

The terminal can be configured to display location information on the terminal’s display or to send it over the air to your dispatcher where it can be displayed in control center (Please check with your Service Provider on the configuration of your terminal).

IMPORTANT: Things to Keep in Mind

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because your terminal cannot establish a view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS feature of your terminal WILL NOT WORK. Such situa t ion s incl ude but are not limited to:

• In underground locations

• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure

• Near a powerful radio or television tower

GPS Location Services

• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your hand or other object) or facing the ground

• Ιn temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your terminal

Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher.

Furthermore, please note that even where adequate signals from multip le satellites are available, your GPS feature will only provide an approximate location, often within 20 - 100 meters from your actual location.

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your terminal may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You will then see a message indicating that your terminal cannot see enough visible satellites.

To maximize the ability of your terminal to determine a location fix please note the following guidelines:

• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your terminal and a large amount of open sky. If possible, go outside, away from tall buildings and foliage. While performance in a building is improved by moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun shielding films may block satellite signals.

• Position your terminal to enhance reception. Signals from GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna, which is in your terminal antenna. Hold your terminal away from your body, giving the antenna clear access to satellite signals. Do not cover the antenna area with your fingers or anything else.

• Stand still. If possible, stand still until your terminal is finished determining your location. Moving your terminal at a walking pace while your terminal is calculating your approximate location may substantially decrease GPS performance.

• In a car. When using the GPS feature in a car, position your terminal so that the GPS antenna has good access to GPS signals. Typically, the GPS antenna has best access to GPS signals in a car when placed near a window.

GPS Icon

When your terminal is receiving valid GPS location data, a GPS icon will be shown in the display:

Please note, that during emergency mode, your terminal will not display the GPS icon even when receiving GPS location data. If valid GPS location data is available when you leave emergency mode the GPS icon will be displayed again.

calculated, the latest location information is stored in your terminal and remains there even when your terminal is powered off. You will see this information the next time you view the Position screen.

If you received a terminal call or alert while attempting to determine your location, the Position screen will disappear, but your terminal will continue attempting to determine its location. If it is successful, the new location information will be displayed the next time you view the Position screen.

GPS Testpage

Satellite Almanac Data

Government officials maintains an almanac of data about where GPS satellites are as they orbit the Earth. This information is available to your terminal. Keeping your satellite almanac up to date helps your terminal determine your location more quickly.

The almanac contains information about the location of satellites, their operational status, and other satellite information.

GPS Location Services

In most cases, your terminal will be able to get a fix in strong satellite signal conditions with outdated almanac data, but it may take longer.

When you make an Emergency Call, your terminal does not rely upon the almanac to determine your location.
