How to Use This Guide

This User Guide covers the basic operation of the MOTOTRBO Non-Display Portables.

However, your dealer or system administrator may have customized your radio for your specific needs. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Throughout this publication, two icons are used to differentiate Analog mode and Digital mode only features:

Indicates an Analog mode only feature.

Indicates a Digital mode only feature.

For features that are available in both Analog and Digital modes, no icon is shown.

What Your Dealer/System Administrator

Can Tell You

You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:

• Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional

channels?

• Which buttons have been programmed to access other

features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

Charging the Battery

Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery. To avoid damage and comply with warranty terms, charge the battery using a Motorola charger exactly as described in the charger user guide.

Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best performance.

IMPORTANT: ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with the

IMPRES charger. Using a conventional charger causes irrecoverable loss of IMPRES battery data. As a result, the battery functions as a non-IMPRES battery and cannot display the data on your radio. Additionally, it voids your IMPRES battery warranty, although the standard battery warranty still applies.

Attaching the Battery

Align the battery with the rails on the back of the radio. Press the battery firmly, and slide upward until the latch snaps into place. Slide battery latch into lock position.

Preparing Your Radio for Use

English

Battery Latch

To remo ve the battery, turn the radio off. Move the battery latch into unlock position and hold, and slide the battery down and off the rails.

Attaching the Belt Clip

Align the grooves on the clip with those on the battery and press downward until you hear a click.

To remove the clip, press the belt clip tab away from the battery using a key. Then slide the clip upward and away from the radio.

Preparing Your Radio for Use

Attaching the Antenna

With the radio turned off, set the antenna in its receptacle and turn clockwise.

To remove the antenna, turn the antenna counterclockwise. Make sure you turn off the radio and remove the

universal connector cover first.

If antenna needs to be replaced, ensure that only MOTOTRBO antennas are used. Neglecting this will

damage your radio. See Antennas on page 25 for a

Caution

list of available antennas.

Attaching the Universal Connector Cover

The universal connector is located on the antenna side of the radio. It is used to connect MOTOTRBO accessories to the radio.

Place the universal connector cover loop over the attached antenna. Slide

Universal Connector Cover

it all the way down to the base of the antenna.

Insert the hooked end of the cover into the slots above the universal connector.

English

Press downward on the cover to seat the lower tab properly into the RF connector.

Turn the thumbscrew clockwise to secure the connector cover to the radio.

To remove the universal connector cover, press down on the cover and turn the thumbscrew counterclockwise. Lift the cover up, slide the connector cover loop upwards, and remove it from the attached antenna.

Powering Up the Radio

tone if the radio tones/alerts function is disabled

Preparing Your Radio for Use

(see Turning Radio Tones/ Alerts On or Off on

page 24).

If your radio does not power up, check your battery. Make sure that it is charged and properly attached. If your radio still does not power up, contact your dealer.

To turn off the radio, rotate this knob counterclockwise until you hear a click.

• Hold down – Keeping the button pressed.

Permanent Monitor – Monitors a selected channel for all radio traffic until function is disabled.

Privacy – Toggles privacy on or off.

Repeater/Talkaround – Toggles between using a repeater and

communicating directly with another radio.

Scan – Toggles scan on or off.

Telemetry Control – Controls the Output Pin on a local or

remote radio.



Assignable Radio Functions

Emergency – Depending on the programming, initiates or

cancels an emergency alarm or call.

Monitor – Monitors a selected channel for activity.

Nuisance Channel Delete – Temporarily removes an

Squelch – Toggles squelch level between tight and normal.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

The PTT button on the side of the radio 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.

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

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 12).

Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone 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.

PTT

Button

You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an Emergency Call.

You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone by disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on page 24).

Switching Between Analog and Digital

Mode

Each channel in your radio can be configured as an analog channel or a digital channel. Use the Channel

Selector Knob to switch between an analog or a digital channel.

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features are unavailable.

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 16).
