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 enclosed with your radio.

ATTENTION!

Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by 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.

This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements.

Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness information and operating instructions in the Regulatory Compliance and Product Safety section of your Quick Reference Guide enclosed with your radio (Motorola Publication part number 68009503001) to ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

Handling Precautions

The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP57 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being submersed in water.

• If the radio has been submersed in water, shake the

radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped water could cause decreased audio performance.

• If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to

water, clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio and the battery before attaching the battery to the radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.

• If the radio has been submersed in a corrosive

substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water then dry the radio and battery.

• 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).

Handling Precautions

• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis

below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak path into the radio and the radio’s submersibility may be lost.

• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.

• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the

vent.

• The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to

be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 meter (3.28 feet) and a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes. Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio.

• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet

spray on the radio as this will exceed the 1 meter depth pressure and may cause water to leak into the radio.

Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Radio maintenance should only be done in service depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal on the radio.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

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

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

or Off on page 86) 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.

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.

Identifying Radio Controls

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

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 27).

English

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

Channel Selector Knob

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 41).

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).

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.

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.

Identifying Radio Controls

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.

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.

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, although this is not a necessary requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a privacyenabled 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

Bluetooth Operation

This feature allows you to use your radio with a Bluetooth-

enabled device (accessory) via a 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 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 defined range) to re-establish

clear audio reception. Your radio’s Bluetooth function has a

maximum power of 2.5 mW (4 dBm) at the 10-meter 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
