INTRODUCTION

Your PR400™ 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.
INTRODUCTION

English
Page 8
INTRODUCTION
English
When an LTR trunked radio user wants to communicate with another radio, the user’s 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.

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging Your Battery

This radio is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NICd), a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or a lithium-ion (Li-lon) rechargeable battery. Charge the battery before use to ensure optimum capacity and performance. The battery was designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger. Charging in non­Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature­sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.
If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you will need to charge it before you can use it. When the battery level is low and the radio is in transmit mode you will see the LED indicator flash red. Upon release of the PTT button, you will hear an alert tone.
Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the
factory. Always charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use, regardless of the status indicated by the charger.
Note: Do not use the wall charger and desktop
charger at the same time when charging.

WALL CHARGER

Note: Do not use the wall charger if using
lithium-ion (Li-Ion) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries. The wall charger is for a nickel-cadmium (NiCd) battery only.
To Charge the Battery:
1 Turn the radio off.
2 Lift the dust cover to expose the audio
accessory connector.
5 Unplug the charger from the electrical outlet
and radio after 10 hours.
Note: After the initial charge of 14 to 16
hours, do not charge the battery more than 10 hours.

SCAN

Your radio is equipped with the Scan feature, which allows you to monitor multiple channels/ talkgroups for voice activity. The radio will stop on a channel/talkgroup when it detects activity on it.
Your radio automatically switches to a channel/ talkgroup, within the scan list, when it detects activity.
The LED indicator blinks green during scan mode; it stops blinking when the radio switches to an active channel/talkgroup.
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 on that channel/ talkgroup for a default 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 after the prepro­grammed hangtime, the radio returns to scanning channels/talkgroups.

START SYSTEM SCAN

Press the preprogrammed Scan button to start scanning channels/talkgroups in your scan list (if Auto Scan is not enabled) (see page 18).

STOP SYSTEM SCAN

Press the preprogrammed Scan button to stop System Scan (see page 17).
Note: Your dealer/programmer can
preprogram your radio when exiting System Scan to automatically revert either to the last scan channel/talkgroup that had activity on it or to the channel/ talkgroup where scan was initiated.

START AUTO SCAN

Auto Scan automatically starts scanning once a channel/talkgroup with Auto Scan enabled is selected.
Select a channel/talkgroup that has been preprogrammed for Auto Scan by your dealer/ programmer.

STOP AUTO SCAN

Select a channel/talkgroup that has not been preprogrammed for Auto Scan by your dealer/ programmer.

DELETE A NUISANCE CHANNEL/ TALKGROUP

Note: Your dealer/programmer must
preprogram a button to access this feature (see page 18).
If a channel/talkgroup continually generates unwanted calls or noise (a “nuisance” channel/ talkgroup), you can temporarily remove it from the scan list:
1 While the radio is on the nuisance channel/
talkgroup, press the preprogrammed Nuisance Channel Delete button until you hear a tone.
2 Release the Nuisance Channel Delete
button. The nuisance channel/talkgroup is deleted.
Note:You cannot temporarily delete the
channel/talkgroup that has been preprogrammed by your dealer/ programmer as your designated scan channel/talkgroup, a priority channel/ talkgroup, or the last remaining channel/ talkgroup in the scan list.

Restore Channels/Talkgroups to the Scan List

Power off the radio. Once the radio is powered on again, the deleted nuisance channels/ talkgroups are restored to the scan list.
or
1 Press the preprogrammed Scan button to stop
the scan.
2 Press the preprogrammed Scan button again
to start scanning. The deleted nuisance chan­nels/talkgroups are restored to the scan list.
or
Select a channel/talkgroup that has not been preprogrammed for scan by your dealer / programmer to stop Scan. Once you return to the original channel/talkgroup, the deleted nuisance channels/talkgroups are restored to the scan list.
