. Give your location. Do not end the call until told to do so.
■ Network services
The radio described in this guide is approved for use on the TETRA network.
A number of features included in this guide are called Network Services. These
are special services that you arrange through your wireless service provider.
Before you can take advantage of any of these Network Services, you must
subscribe to them through your service provider and obtain instructions for their
use from your service provider.
Note: Some networks may not support all language-dependent
characters and/or services.
■ About accessories
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from ACP-8, ACP-9, ACP-12, LCH-9
and LCH-12.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers and accessories approved by the
manufacturer for use with this particular radio model. The use of any
other types may invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
radio, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved accessories, please check with your dealer.
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.
Important: Enhancements to be used with this device do not meet the
same durability or water resistance specifications as the device itself.
For example, all the chargers are only to be used in dry conditions. They
should never be used when damp or wet.
■ Interference filters (for THR-4 only)
To check the type number of your radio, remove the battery. The type
number (THR-4 or THR-5) is printed on the white label inside your radio.
When charging a THR-4 radio with the charger ACP-8, ACP-9 or ACP-12, you
need to use two electromagnetic interference filters. Two filters are supplied in
the sales package, and they are also available as separate accessories. See
Electromagnetic interference filters (for THR-4 only) on page 25 for how to
install the filters to the charger’s power cord.
The wearable active holder CRR-1 offers
multiple carrying possibilities and makes the
Nokia THR880 radio an integral part of the work
outfit.
■ Access codes
PIN code (4 digits)
The factory setting for the PIN code is 1234. To
prevent unauthorised use of your radio, change
the code in the Change of access codes submenu
of the Settings menu. Keep the new code secret
and in a safe place separate from your radio.
When the PIN code request is enabled (see Security settings on page 79),
the code is requested each time the radio is switched on.
Security code (5 digits)
The factory setting for the security code is 12345. To prevent
unauthorised use of your radio, change the code in the Change of access
codes submenu of the Settings menu, see Security settings on page 79.
Keep the new code secret and in a safe place separate from your radio.
■ Typographics used in this guide
The display texts above the selection keys and are indicated in
a bold typeface, for example, Menu. The other display texts which
appear on the radio’s display are indicated in italics, for example,
Calling. All key presses are represented by the graphic of the
Your radio has two modes of operation: network mode and direct mode.
In network mode, the radio operates via the TETRA network. In direct
mode, the radio operates without the network, so the radios are
communicating directly with each other. In direct mode only some of
the radio’s functions are available. See Direct mode on page 49 for more
information about direct mode.
■ Shared memory
The following features in this radio may share memory: phone book,
calendar, and to-do notes. Using any such features may reduce the
memory available for any features sharing memory. This is especially
true with heavy use of any of the features (although some of the
features may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to
them in addition to the amount of memory shared with other features).
For example, saving many names or notes may take all of the shared
memory and your radio may display a message that the memory is full.
In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the
shared memory features before continuing.
■ Transmission barring
When transmission barring is active, the radio does not send any signals
to the network and only limited network services are available. In
network mode, the radio can only receive group calls and status and text
messages addressed to talk groups, providing that the radio is registered
to the network. In direct mode, the radio can receive direct mode calls.
Note that when transmission barring is active, the radio cannot reregister to the network, for example, if it is switched off and then on
again.
Note: The limited network services in network mode are only
available in the coverage area of the network cell where the
radio was last registered. The radio cannot register to other
network cells while transmission barring is active, and therefore
the area of operation may be limited.
When transmission barring is active, in network mode the radio cannot
send the necessary information to the network about changes in talk
groups. When transmission barring is active, you cannot change the
selected group. If you make any other changes that affect talk groups,
for example, change the selected folder, home group or the scanning
priority of a group, you will not be able to receive further
communication from the affected groups. After transmission barring
has been deactivated, the radio can attempt to negotiate the changes
with the network.
If you start to make a red key call or an emergency call to an emergency
number programmed into your radio when transmission barring is
active, the radio will automatically deactivate transmission barring and
attempt to make the call. If the radio is in direct mode, the radio will
attempt to switch to network mode, deactivate transmission barring
and attempt to make the call.
Warning: If you start to make a red key call or an emergency
call, transmission barring will be deactivated and you should
consider exiting the area where you wanted transmission to be
barred.
See Transmission barring on page 73 for how to activate or deactivate
transmission barring. Note that transmission barring should be active
before you enter the area where you want transmission to be barred. The
indicator or is displayed in standby mode when transmission
barring is active. Depending on predefined radio settings, the radio may
send a notification message to the network about the activation. The
indicator is displayed if the message does not need to be sent or
message sending failed, and the indicator is displayed if the
message has been sent.
■ Network selection
Next to your predefined home network, you may be able to select other
networks in which your radio can operate (network service), for
example, if you are not in the coverage area of your home network. The
network can be changed automatically or manually, see Network
selection on page 76.
Note: Some services are network-dependent, so there may be
changes in the availability of services when the network is
changed. In addition, for example the selected folder, selected
group, home group, or availability of groups may change when
the network is changed.
• You can use this device in the rain, but do not submerge it in water.
• If the device or the system connector has been exposed to salt water,
wash it immediately with freshwater to avoid corrosion. The device
must be carefully wiped dry.
• Before opening the back cover, dry the device to prevent water from

■ Types of calls
• Group calls are immediate communication between talk group
members. For details, see Group calls on page 33.
• Express calls are immediate communication between two people.
For details, see Express calls on page 43.
• Phone calls are like conventional telephone calls. For details, see
Phone calls on page 46.
These call types are available in network mode. Your radio also offers
direct mode operation (see Direct mode on page 49).
Red key calls
The red key call is a network service. Before you can take advantage of
this network service, you must subscribe to it through your service
provider and obtain instructions for its use from your service provider.
The red key call is made to a destination that has been defined by your
organisation. In network mode, when you press and hold the red
function key, the radio will attempt to make a red key call. When you
press the red function key and then the back key, the radio will attempt
to make a silent red key call. See also Red key calls in direct mode on
page 53.
If the radio receives a red key call , or a call made to a destination that is
predefined as an emergency number, the radio plays a tone and Priority
In network mode, turning the group selector
is used for selecting groups. The names of
the current folder and group are shown on
the display.
The back key in the middle of the group
selector is used for switching between
groups. Pressing the back key switches
between groups that have the same index
number as the last two selected groups
(excluding the home group), and pressing and holding the back key
selects the home group (see Home group on page 34).
In direct mode, the group selector is used for selecting channels. The
name of the channel is shown on the display. Each channel may have up
to three groups. Pressing and holding the back key selects the first group
(A) on the channel, and pressing the back key switches between the
second and the third group (B and C) on the channel.
If voice feedback is activated, the radio plays the index number of the
group or channel when you turn the group selector. When you use the
back key, the radio plays the index number or index name (A, B, or C) of
the group or "Home" if the home group is selected. See Voice feedback
on page 31.
■ PTT (Push-to-talk) key
Your radio can make and receive one-way and two-way calls. During a
one-way call, only one person can speak at a time and the speaker has
to press and hold the PTT key. During a two-way call, the PTT key is not
needed and you can speak as in a conventional phone call.
To speak during a one-way call, press and hold the PTT key. You can start
speaking after a short tone is played and (transmitting) appears on
the display.
Express calls and group calls are one-way calls. Phone
calls are normally two-way calls, but your radio is also
capable of making and receiving one-way phone calls.
For group calls in network mode, you can set the PTT key
to make a call either always to your selected talk group
or to the currently active scanned group (if there is no
active scanned group, the call is made to the selected
group). See PTT key use on page 37.
■ Duty key and fast menu key
The duty key is located above the PTT key, and the fast menu key
below the PTT key (see the picture in the PTT (Push-to-talk) key section).
In network mode, you can set the duty key to work in one of three
ways, see Duty key setting on page 75. In direct mode, pressing and
holding makes a call to the first group on the selected channel.
The fast menu key is used for accessing the fast menu. For details,
see Fast menu on page 31.
