Receive / Transmit

Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not the case. Digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the “noise” from the signal and allowing only the clear voice or data information to be heard.

This section emphasizes the importance of knowing how to monitor a channel for traffic before keying up to send a transmission.

Managing Encryption

Key Loading

Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for equipment connections and setup.

1 Attach the KVL to your radio.

When it is attached, all radio functions, except for power down, backlight, and volume, will be locked out.

2 Press the PTT button on the

KVL. This will load the encryption keys into your radio. When the key has been loaded successfully, the radio will sound a short tone for single-key radios; for multikey radios, an alternating tone will be heard.

Multikey

The multikey feature allows your radio to be equipped with as many as 48 different encryption keys and supports the DES-OFB algorithm.

• Conventional Multikey — The encryption keys can be tied

(strapped), on a one-per-channel basis, through radio service software. In addition, you can have operator-selectable keys, operator-selectable keysets, and operator-selectable key erasure. If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption keys are strapped to the talkgroups.

• Trunked Multikey — If you use your radio for both conventional

and trunked applications, you will have to strap your encryption keys for trunking on a per-talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In addition, you may strap a different key to other features, such as dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or emergency talkgroup. You can have operator-selectable key erasure.

Special Radio Features

Special Radio Features

Dynamic Regrouping (Trunking Only)

The dynamic regrouping feature lets the dispatcher temporarily reassign selected radios to a single special channel so they can communicate with each other. This feature is typically used during special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio technician. You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.

Note: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been reserved

by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped mode for other users, you will hear an invalid tone.

When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You see the dynamically regrouped channel’s name, and hear a “gurgle” tone.

Press the PTT button to talk; release it to listen.

When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio automatically returns to the zone and channel that you were using before the radio was dynamically regrouped.

Special Radio Features

Reprogram Request (ASTRO 25 Trunking Only)

Trunking System Controls

Failsoft

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.

During failsoft operation:

Your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency.

You hear a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds

When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation.

• A medium-pitched tone

Out-of-Range

If you go out of the range of the system and can no longer lock onto a control channel, you hear a low-pitched tone.

Your radio remains in this out-ofrange condition until it locks onto a control channel, locks onto a failsoft channel, or is turned off.

• Locks onto control channel

• Locks onto failsoft channel

Battery

Battery Life

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several times a day, will last fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, will last even longer.

Charging the Battery

Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice-versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. Motorola-authorized battery chargers may not charge batteries other than the ones listed on page 49.

The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.

Battery Charge Status

Your radio can indicate your battery’s charge status through LED and sounds.

When your battery is low:

• you see the LED flash red when the PTT button is pressed

• you hear a low-battery “chirp” (short, high-pitched tone)
