Identifying Radio Controls

You can access various radio functions through one of the following ways:

• A short or long press of the relevant programmable buttons.

• Use the Menu Navigation Buttons as follows:

1 To access the menu, press the g button. Press the

appropriate Scroll Up/Down button ( the menu functions.

f or h) to access

2 To select a function or enter a sub-menu, press the g

English

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

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

• 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.

PTT Button

• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 22).

If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On

or Off on page 68) or the PTT Sidetone 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

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.

Switching Between Conventional Analog

and Digital Mode

Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel.

To switch between an analog or a digital channel, use the

Volume/Channel Knob

• Scroll Up/Down buttons, or

• Volume/Channel Knob, or

• programmed Channel Up or Channel Down buttons

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (such as Messages) reflect this change by appearing ‘grayed out’. Disabled features are hidden in the menu.

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

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog

modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 32).

Scroll Up/Down

Identifying Radio Controls

English

To use the Scroll Up/Down buttons, while in the Home Screen of the required Zone, press f or h to select the required channel.

To use the programmed Channel Up or Channel Down buttons, while in the Home Screen of the required Zone, press Channel Up or Channel Down to select the required channel.

Using the Volume/Channel Knob

The Volume/Channel Knob can be programmed as dual purpose for both volume and channel or as a volume-only control.

To adjust volume, see Adjusting the Volume on page 2.

To change channels, push and hold the knob until channel selection screen is displayed, then turn the knob to the required channel.

To exit channel selection state, do any of the following.

• Push the Volume/Channel Knob again

• Press g

Identifying Radio Controls

IP Site Connect

This feature allows your radio to extend conventional communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater 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 repeater 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.

Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

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

English

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

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

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.

Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. 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 conventional digital mode, IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus and Linked 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 configuration.

Linked Capacity Plus

Linked Capacity Plus is a multi-site multi-channel trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combining the best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect configurations.

Linked Capacity Plus allows your radio to extend trunking communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It also provides an increase in capacity by efficiently utilizing the combined available number of programmed channels supported by each of the available sites.

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.

Any channel with Linked Capacity Plus enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches these channels during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

Identifying Radio Controls

English

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

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

Similar to Capacity Plus, icons of features not applicable to Linked Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. You hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not applicable to Linked Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.

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