Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP54 specifications. Your radio limits protection against dust and water exposure.

• Keep your radio clean and exposure to water should be

avoided to help ensure proper functionality and performance.

• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a diluted

solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).

• These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual

inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime.

The effects on certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain

C a u t i o n

plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners and other chemicals.

Operating Precautions

• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the

time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button.

To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of

the time, or less, is important because this radio generates

measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in

terms of measuring for standards compliance).

• To protect your hearing, use the lowest volume necessary to

do your job, turn down the volume before adding a headset or

earpiece, and limit the amount of time you use headsets or

earpieces at high volume.

• User awareness instructions should accompany device when

transferred to other users.

NOTE: For more details please read the information about RF

Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use in the Quick Reference Guide/Safety Booklet (Motorola Publications number 68009553001) provided with your radio.

Privacy

If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a softwarebased scrambling solution. The signaling and user identification portions of a transmission are not scrambled.

Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel to send a privacy-enabled transmission. While on a privacy-enabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear (unscrambled) transmissions.

Your radio supports two types of privacy:

• Basic Privacy

• Enhanced Privacy

Only ONE of the privacy types above can be assigned to the radio.

To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your radio must be programmed to have the same Privacy Key (for Basic Privacy), OR the same Key Value and Key ID (for Enhanced Privacy) as the transmitting radio.

If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different Privacy Key, OR a different Key Value and Key ID, you will either hear a garbled transmission (Basic Privacy) or nothing at all (Enhanced Privacy).

Advanced Features

The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and double blinks green when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacy-enabled transmission.

NOTE: Some radio models/locations may not offer this Privacy

feature. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Procedure:

Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or off. OR Follow the procedure below.

1 c to access the menu. 2 ^ or v to Utilities and press c to select. 3 ^ or v to Radio Settings and press c to select. 4 ^ or v to Privacy and press c to select. 5 Press c to enable Privacy. The display shows 9 beside

IP Site Connect

This feature allows your radio to extend communication beyond the reach of a single repeater site by operating on multiple repeater sites connected together via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus

When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's base station to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.

If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. It then locks on to the base station with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.

In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.

NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam

enabled, not both at the same time.

A Members list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including the Selected Channel).

NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the

Members list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Bluetooth Operation

This feature allows you to use your radio with a Bluetooth enabled device (accessory) via a wireless Bluetooth connection. Your radio supports both Motorola and COTS (Commercially available Off-The-Shelf) Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Bluetooth operates within a range of 10 meters (32 feet) line of sight.This is an unobstructed path between your radio and your Bluetooth-enabled device.

It is not recommended that you leave your radio behind and expect your Bluetooth-enabled device to work with a high degree of reliability when they are separated.

At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone quality will start to sound “garbled” or “broken”. To correct this problem, simply position your radio and Bluetooth-enabled device closer to each other (within the 10-meter/32 feet defined range) to reestablish clear audio reception. Your radio’s Bluetooth function has a maximum power of 2.5 mW (4 dBm) at the 10-meter/32 feet range.

Your radio can support up to 3 simultaneous Bluetooth connections with Bluetooth-enabled devices of unique types.For example, a headset, a scanner, and a PTT-Only Device (POD). Multiple connections with Bluetooth-enabled devices of the same type are not supported.

Refer to your respective Bluetooth-enabled device’s user manual for more details on your Bluetooth-enabled device’s full capabilities.
