Safety Information

General Safety Information

•This terminal meets the applicable safety standards if used as prescribed. All operating and safety instructions are to be followed carefully.

CAUTION! Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet, Motorola Publication part number 6866537D38 (for Europe, Middle East and Africa regions) or 6804110J47/6804113J24 (for Asia and Pacific regions), enclosed with your radio.

•Motorola recommends the usage of Motorola approved accessories only.

•Only specialized workshops should be contacted for installation, maintenance and repair work.

•Keep this User Guide and the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet in a safe place and make it available to other operators, and in case, that the radio is passed on to other people.

Product Specific Information

•	Max. Voltage	4.2	V
•	Max. Current	0.5	A
•	Max. RF Power	1 Watt
•	Max. Speaker Load	0.5	Watts at 8 Ohms
•	Antenna Impedance	50 Ohms

•Operation Temperature Range -20° C to +60° C

• Operating Time

Continuous / Intermittent

Note: In general, the radio transmit and receive time (operating cycle time) is determined by the communication system. On overload, respectively on extensive use beyond the systems specifications at high ambient temperatures, the radio is protected by its thermal control, which cuts down the RF output power, thus reducing the radio coverage range.

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.

Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the following special notations used to highlight certain information or items:

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 On or Off during charging.

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 connecting the charger. If the MTH800 is Off, the display shows an icon of the battery in charging.

The Battery icon shows the charging 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 below.

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 ventilated, 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.

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.

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.

Started Getting

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 MTH800, use a moistened or antistatic cloth. DO NOT use a dry or electrostatically charged cloth.
