Important Safety Information

Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance

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

C a u t i o n enclosed with your radio.

	Information	ATTENTION!
		This radio is restricted to occupational use only to
		satisfy FCC/ICNIRP RF energy exposure
	Safety	requirements. Before using this product, read the RF
		energy awareness information and operating instructions
		in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed
		with your radio (Motorola Publication part number
	Important	6881095C98) to ensure compliance with RF energy
		exposure limits.
		For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and
		other accessories, visit the following website:
		http://www.motorolasolutions.com/governmentandenterprise
		Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by
	vi	Motorola, may void the user’s authority to operate this device.

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication

Firmware Version

All the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's firmware version R02.02.00 or later.

See Checking the Firmware Version and Codeplug Version on page 93 to determine your radio's firmware version.

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

The effects on certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner

C a u t i o n	cleaners and other chemicals.

RF Energy Exposure and Product

Safety Guidelines and Instructions

See more detailed proper usage instructions, warnings and cautions in the Regulatory Compliance and Product Safety Guide.

1To ensure a comfortable audio level and compliance with RF energy exposure limits, do not hold against the ear or alongside the head.

2Use only in front of the face or with Motorola Solutions approved audio accessories and carry cases to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

English

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.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic purposes:

PTT

Button

•While a call is in progress, the PTT button allows the radio to transmit to other radios in the call.

Press and hold down PTT button to talk. Release the PTT button to listen.

The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed.

•While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 25).

If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On or Off on page 84) is enabled, wait until the short alert tone ends before talking .

During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.

You will also hear a continuous talk prohibit tone, if your call is interrupted, indicating that you should release the PTT button, for example when the radio receives an Emergency Call.

Capacity Plus

Capacity Plus is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254 Groups. This feature allows your radio to efficiently utilize the available number of programmed channels while in Repeater Mode.

When Capacity Plus is enabled, features not applicable to Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. Also, you hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.

Your radio also has features that are available in both conventional digital mode and Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information on this system configuration.
