General Information

Safety Information

Before using these products, read the
operating instructions for safe usage
contained in the Product Safety and RF
Exposure booklet

The MTM800E is restricted to occupational use only to
satisfy ICNIRP RF energy exposure requirements. Before
using the products, read the RF energy awareness
information and operating instructions in the Product Safety
and RF Exposure booklet (Motorola Publication part number
Safety Leaflet 6804113J25) to ensure compliance with RF
energy exposure limits.

Keep this User Guide and the Product Safety and RF
Exposure booklet in a safe place and make it available to
other operators in case the accessories are passed on to
other people.

Disposal Information

The European Union Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment directive requires that

products sold into EU countries must have the
crossed out trashbin label on the product (or the package in
some cases). As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross­out trashbin label means that customers and end-users in EU
countries should not dispose of electronic and electrical
equipment or accessories in household waste.

Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their
local equipment supplier representative or service centre for
information about the waste collection system in their
country.

United States and other countries preserve for Motorola
certain exclusive rights for copyrighted computer programs,
but not limited to, including the exclusive right to copy or

Accordingly, any copyrighted Motorola computer programs
contained in the Motorola products described in this manual
may not be copied, reproduced, modified, reverse­engineered, or distributed in any manner without the express
written permission of Motorola. Furthermore, the purchase of
Motorola products shall not be deemed to grant either directly

Product Specific Information

• Max RF Power 3.16 Watts

• Max. Speaker Load 10 Watts at 4 Ohms

• Antenna Impedance 50 Ohms

• Ambient Temperature Range - 30 °C to + 60 °C

If the terminal is in service, the surface
temperature can rise up to 70 °C.

Do not touch the hot surface

• Operating Time Continuous / Intermittent

In general, the terminal 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 terminal is
protected by its thermal control, which cuts down the RF output
power, thus reducing the terminal coverage range.

General

Icon Conventions

The document set is designed to give the reader more visual
cues. The following graphic icons are used throughout the
documentation set. These icons and their associated
meanings are described below.

The signal word Warning with the associated
safety icon implies information that,

if disregarded, could result in death or serious
injury, or serious product damage.

The signal word Caution with the associated
safety icon implies information that, if

disregarded, may result in minor or moderate
injury, or serious product damage.

The signal word Caution may be used without the
safety icon to state potential damage or injury that is
not related to the product.

Notes contain information more important than the surrounding
text, such as exceptions or preconditions. They also refer the
reader elsewhere for additional information, remind the reader
how to complete an action (when it’s not part of the current
procedure, for instance), or tell the reader where something is
located on the screen. There is no warning level associated with
a Note.

Selecting TMO or DMO Operation

General

In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) the MTM800E is used
with the infrastructure services within system coverage.

In Direct Mode Operation (DMO) the MTM800E 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.

A MTM800E in DMO can communicate with the trunked
system (and vice-versa) through a gateway device. To use

23

that feature, please enable the gateway option in your
MTM800E (see Gateway/Repeater Selection” on page 49.).

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

Entering TMO or DMO

You can make and receive the following types of calls when
the MTM800E operates in Trunked Mode:

• Group Calls

• Private Calls

• Phone Calls

• PABX Calls

• Emergency Calls

– local (office) extension calls

DMO Calls

You can make and receive Group Calls when the MTM800E
operates in Direct Mode (DMO). This includes Emergency
Group and Private Calls.

The MTM800E returns to the Home display when there is no
activity for a few seconds.

pressing Send initiates PABX or Phone or Duplex private call
accordingly. If not allowed a special indication is given to the
user.

25

Incoming Calls During Dialing

The MTM800E remains affiliated to the last Talk Group and
receives any group calls. An Incoming call is indicated to the
user and the dialing process is interrupted. Non-emergency
call does not suspend dialling but the user is able to hear the
tone of incoming call. When the terminal receives a private or
a phone call, termianl indicates and gives the option to the
user to reject or accept it. If the user accepts the call, dialling
process ends. When the user rejects it the terminal goes
back to the dialling process.

Entering Emergency Mode During Dialing

The dialing process stops if during it the user tries to go to
emergency mode

Incoming Long Text Message During Dialing

The Long Text Message is indicated on the display and it
interrupts the dialing process.

Changing Call Type

By dialing from the idle screen the user is given the possibility
to change the Type of the Call.

Modifying the Type of Call

The infrastructure can modify the type of call you started.

For example, you might start a Simplex 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 Duplex)

• Call Modified Use PTT (modified to Simplex)
Continue the modified call depending on the type of call.

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

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

26

Getting Started

Receiving Calls

Your MTM800E automatically receives the incoming call.
Additionally, if Inactivity Revert Mode is enabled, the
MTM800E returns automatically to the Home display, after
that call ends.

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

Your MTM800E alerts you of an incoming call depending on
the setting you selected in the Tones menu option (see
page 123).

During message or contact editing, scrolling through the
menu and changing any configuration you will be alerted of
an incoming Group/Emergency/Broadcast Group Call if
configured by your Service Provider.

Pre-emptive Calling

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

A pre-emptive priority call (PPC) is either an Emergency
Group Call or a Private PPC (Simplex or Duplex call).

This 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.

Your MTM800E receives the call via speaker or Telephone
Style Handset earpiece, according to the setting used when
the PPC is received.

For call alert, see settings in the Tones menu option (page 123)

.

Receiving a PPC is explained in the following paragraphs.

In the screens, <Any> in Use refers to any of the non­emergency 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 pre-empts an on­going Group Call that has the same (or
lower) call priority.

TMO Group Call

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 can be divided into many folders. Each folder
may contain several talkgroups.

For ease of use, your MTM800E also provides the ability to:

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

• Organise your groups into three folders (default name for
the first favorite folder is called My Groups which is 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 MTM800E
will 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 go to talkgroup, folder, or scanning selection when
the terminal is idle.

Pressing PTT during talkgroup selection switches to a new
group and starts a call.

35

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 MTM800E 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.

Your MTM800E 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.

Selecting a Group

You can select a talkgroup in one of the following ways, by
using the:

• rotary knob

• navigation key

• alphabetical search

• folder search

• numeric keypad entry - Speed Dialing (if configured by
your Service Provider)

For group scrolling configuration, see page 40.

When you navigate in the favorite folders and select a DMO
group, your terminal will switch between TMO and DMO (and
vice-versa).

one folder, the radio chooses the one that is prioirtized by:

1. current folder

2. parent folder to the current folder

3. default talkgroup folder which is defined by the Service
Provider.

37

Using the Numeric Keypad - Speed Dial

From the Home display, you can dial a group by entering its

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.

OR

• 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 example: 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.

Hello

Contcs

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
MTM800E transmission radiation.

Radiation of the MTM800E is only suppressed if the TXI Mode is
activated or the MTM800E is separated from power supply.

In TXI Mode the MTM800E will not transmit under any
circumstances, except for the Emergency Call, which can be
initiated even if the MTM800E is in TXI Mode.

All MTM800E 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
MTM800E 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 MTM800E returns to standard operation.

Setting the TXI Mode is described in “Setting Transmit Inhibit
(TXI) Mode” on page 147.

Activated Transmit Inhibit is indicated by the solid orange
LED and flashing between the two displays:

The indication depends on the setting from the Service
Provider. Visible/audible indications can be disabled for the
status message.

When the radio is PIN locked the user can still press the
Button/Footswitch to send the message.

DMO Group Call

DMO Group Call

General

In DMO, the MTM800E 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 MTM800E.

In DMO it is only possible to place Group Calls, Emergency
Group Calls and Private Simplex 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 identity (as configured by the Service Provider),
will receive the transmission.

In DMO the MTM800E can communicate with the trunking
system (and vice-versa) if the Gateway option is enabled in
the MTM800E.

To enhance the terminal’s DMO coverage area the DMO
group can link to a repeater if the Repeater option is enabled
in the terminal. Additionally the GW + Rep (gateway and
repeater) communication mode can be used.

If Transmit Inhibit is activated while the terminal is set to
DMO, the PTT is disabled. You can only listen. For detailed
information on Transmit Inhibit, see page 44. DMO Talkgroup
selection is allowed when Transmit Inhibit is activated.

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 call can be a

• Duplex call (if the system allows) in TMO, or

• Simplex call in TMO or DMO.

In a Duplex call, both participants can speak at the same
time, while in a Simplex call, only one person can speak at a
time.

If your Service Provider has restricted access to the Contacts
list, it might not be possible to create a new contact, edit existing
contacts or dial up a number which is not in the Contacts list.

For operating the MTM800E in RF sensitive areas, see
“Transmit Inhibit” on page 44.
