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
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.

Advanced Features
Use this navigation guide to learn more about advanced
features available with your radio:
Scan lists are created and assigned to individual channels/
groups. Your radio scans for voice activity by cycling through the
channel/group sequence specified in the scan list for the current
channel.
Your radio supports up to 32 scan lists, with a maximum of 16
members in a list. Each scan list shall support a mixture of both
analog and digital entries.

automatically activated, allowing you to communicate with the
other radio without pressing the PTT button.
This activated microphone state is also known as “hot mic”.
If you press the PTT button during the programmed hot mic
transmission period, the radio ignores the PTT press and
remains in Emergency mode.

the radio continues to transmit until you release the
PTT button.
English
Procedure:

When hot mic has been enabled, the radio automatically
transmits without a PTT press until the hot mic duration
expires.
4 While transmitting, the LED lights up solid green.
5 Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio automatically
stops transmitting. To transmit again, press the PTT button
If your radio is set to Silent, it will not display any audio or visual
indicators during Emergency mode, or receive any response
from the target radio, until the programmed hot mic transmission
period is over, and you press the PTT button.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it will not display any
audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode when you
are making the call with hot mic, or when the target radio
responds after the programmed hot mic transmission period is
over. The indicators will only appear when you press the PTT
button.
Reinitiating an Emergency Mode
There are two instances where this can happen:
• You change the channel while the radio is in Emergency
mode. This exits the Emergency mode. If Emergency Alarm is
enabled on this new channel, the radio reinitiates Emergency.
• You press the programmed Emergency button during an
Emergency initiation/transmission state. This causes the
radio to exit this state, and to reinitiate Emergency.
Exiting an Emergency Mode
Your radio exits Emergency mode when one of the following
occurs:
• Emergency Alarm acknowledgement is received (for
Emergency Alarm only), OR
• All retries to send the alarm have been exhausted, OR
• The programmed Emergency button is long pressed.
NOTE: If your radio is powered off, it exits the Emergency
mode. The radio will not reinitiate the Emergency
mode automatically when it is turned on again.

Sending a Quick Text Message
You can send Quick Text messages, programmed by your
dealer, via the programmable button.
Procedure:
1 Press the programmed One Touch Call button to send a
predefined Quick Text message to a predefined ID.
2 The LED lights up solid green.
3 Two chirps indicate that the message is sent successfully.
OR

Advanced Features
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, although this is not a
necessary requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a
privacy-enabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear
(unscrambled) transmissions.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must have the same Privacy Key (programmed by your
dealer) as the transmitting radio. If your radio receives a
scrambled call that is of a different Privacy Key, you will hear a
garbled transmission.
The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and
blinks green rapidly when the radio is receiving an ongoing
privacy-enabled transmission.
NOTE: Some radio models 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.
