INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Your PM400™ radio can operate on both LTR® trunked and conventional radio systems. This radio combines the very latest in two-way technology while delivering outstanding functionality at the touch of a button.
CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional typically refers to radio-to-radio communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater. To ensure coordinated use by multiple users, each radio user must monitor the channel or repeater before transmitting to verify that the system is not currently busy.
TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS
A trunked radio system allows a large number of users to share a relatively small number of frequencies or repeaters without interfering with each other. The airtime of all the repeaters in a trunked system is pooled, which maximizes the amount of airtime available to
any one radio and minimizes channel/ talkgroup congestion.
Some of the benefits of trunked two-way radio systems are:
No channel/talkgroup monitoring required prior to transmission
Improved system access
Automatic channel/talkgroup selection
Increased privacy among members of the same group
LTR Trunked Systems
LTR (Logic Trunked Radio) is a transmission­based trunking protocol developed by the E. F. Johnson Company for primarily single-site trunking applications. In transmission trunking, a repeater is used for only the duration of a single transmission. Once a transmission is completed, that repeater becomes available to other users. This means that a conversation comprised of many transmissions may occur over several different channels/talkgroups within the LTR system. This method of trunking provides system efficiency by making repeaters available to all users after every transmission.
When an LTR trunked radio user wants to communicate with another radio, the user’s
00_Introduction.fm Page 7 Monday, August 2, 2004 10:34 AM
Page 10

INTRODUCTION
radio sends a “channel/talkgroup request” to the home repeater. The system then sends back a “channel/talkgroup grant” to the user’s radio. The channel/talkgroup grant message contains the number of a “go to” repeater to tell the radio which repeater to use. This “go to” repeater can be the same as the radio’s home repeater or another repeater in the system.
The radio uses the “go to” repeater for transmission. Once the transmission has ended, this repeater is available for other users.

SCAN
SCAN
Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature, which allows you to search for, lock onto, and monitor voice activity on channels/talkgroups. Scan lists are assigned per channel/talkgroup, by your dealer/programmer. Your radio automatically switches to a channel/talkgroup, within that scan list, when it detects activity. You can also edit these lists through your radio’s menu (see page 36).
The green LED indicator blinks during scan mode; it stops blinking when the radio switches to an active channel/talkgroup.
•The Gsymbol appears on the display
while in scan mode.
Your dealer/programmer can preprogram
your radio where if the microphone is taken off-hook while in Scan mode, the scanning activity becomes suspended until the microphone is replaced.
There are two ways that your radio scans:
System Scan (manual)
Auto Scan (automatic)
TALKBACK
The Talkback feature allows you to respond to a transmission while scanning. If transmission is detected on a channel/talkgroup while scanning, the radio will stop and land on that channel/talkgroup for a preprogrammed period of time after activity has ceased. This is referred to as “hangtime”. During this hangtime you may respond by pressing the PTT button.
Note: The LED scan indicator stops blinking
while the radio is in hangtime. If the PTT button is not pressed during the prepro­grammed hangtime, the radio reverts back to scan.

MOTOROLA cannot be responsible in any way for any ancillary equipment not furnished by MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the Product, or for operation of the Product with any ancillary equipment, and all such equipment is expressly excluded from this warranty.
