■ ABOUT YOUR DEVICE
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the TETRA network.
Contact your service provider for more information about networks.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and legitimate
rights of others.
Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock, the device
must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless device use may
cause interference or danger.
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of small
children.
■ Network Services
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of the
features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to function. These
Network Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to make specific
arrangements with your service provider before you can utilize Network Services. Your
service provider may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain what
charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you can use
Network Services. For instance, some networks may not support all language-dependent
characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not activated
in your device. Contact your service provider for more information.
■ Shared memory
The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, calendar, to-do notes,
images in gallery, and note application. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the
memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. For example, saving many
notes may use all of the available memory. Your device may display a message that the
memory is full when you try to use a shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the
information or entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the
features, such as contacts, may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them
in addition to the memory shared with other features.
■ Enhancements, batteries, and chargers
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
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 enhancements approved by Nokia for
use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any
approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, 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 RC-2 and RC-4)
To check the type number of your radio, remove the battery. The type number (RC-2, RC-3, or
RC-4) is printed on the white label inside your radio. When charging an RC-2 or RC-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
and RC-4)
on page 24 for how to install the filters to the charger’s power cord.
Install the electromagnetic interference filters (for RC-2
The wearable active holder CRR-1 offers multiple carrying
possibilities, and makes the Nokia THR880i radio an
integral part of the work outfit.
■ Access codes
The factory setting for the four-digit PIN code is 1234.
When the PIN code request is enabled, the code is
requested each time the radio is switched on. See Security
settings on page 106.
The factory setting for the five-digit security code is
12345.
To prevent unauthorised use of your radio, change the
codes. Keep the new codes secret and in a safe place
separate from your radio. See Security settings on page 106.
■ Modes of operation
Your radio has two modes of operation: network mode and direct mode. In the
network mode, the radio operates using the TETRA network. In the direct mode,
the radio operates without the network, so that the radios communicate directly
with each other. In the direct mode, only some functions of the radio are available.
For more information on the direct mode, see Direct mode on page 65.
■ 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 the 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 the direct mode,
the radio can receive direct mode calls. When transmission barring is active, the
radio cannot re-register to the network, for example, if it is switched off and then
on again.
The limited network services in the 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 the 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, such as 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
automatically deactivates transmission barring and attempts to make the call. See
Red key calls and emergency calls in direct mode on page 70.
Note: If you start to make a red key call or an emergency call when transmission
barring is active, transmission barring will be deactivated, and you should consider
exiting the area where you wanted transmission to be barred.
To activate or deactivate transmission barring, select
Menu→Settings→Phone settings→Transmission barring→On or Off.
Transmission barring should be active before you enter the area where you want
transmission to be barred. or is displayed in the 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. is
displayed if the message does not need to be sent or message sending failed, and
is displayed if the message has been sent.
■ Network selection
In addition 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 103.
Some services are network dependent, so the availability of services may change
when the network is changed. In addition, the selected folder, selected group,
home group, or the availability of groups may change when the network is
changed.
■ Using your device in wet and damp conditions
• 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 reaching the
interior of the device. The battery is not water resistant.
• Never charge the device when the bottom connector is wet or damp.
• Never use a damp device with enhancements that have an electrical function (such as a
desk stand or car kit).
Note: Make sure the interior of your device and the back cover seals are dry, clean,
and free of any foreign objects. Foreign objects may damage the seals against
water.
1. To open the battery cover, press the release button
upwards, away from the bottom connectors. Pressing
the release button down makes the opening harder.
2. Slide the battery under the back cover of the radio so
that the end with the contacts enters first.
3. To close the battery cover, first pull it back and
downwards so that the locking catches near the
hinge are directed towards their slots, and press
them to make sure that they are locked in place (1).
Then press the bottom end of the cover down to
lock the cover in place (2). Be careful when closing
the battery cover. If the cover is not properly closed
or, for example, the locking catches or the seals are
damaged, the durability of the radio against shocks
and water is impaired.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the
charger before removing the battery.
■ Install the electromagnetic interference filters (for RC-2
and RC-4)
To check the type number of your radio, remove the battery. The type number (RC2, RC-3, or RC-4) is printed on the white label inside your radio. When charging an
RC-2 or RC-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.
Install the filters to the charger’s power cord before you connect the charger to
the radio or an AC wall outlet.
1. The filters should be placed on the power cord one after the other, within 15
cm (6 inches) of the charger. Place the power cord inside the opened filter, and
then wrap it in one loop around the filter.
For more information, see Access codes on page 19.
Your device has an external antenna.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting device, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the device is switched on. Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than
otherwise needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna while operating the device
optimises the antenna performance and the battery life.
■ Lock the keys (Keyguard)
When the keyguard is on, calls still may be possible to the official emergency number
programmed into your device. Key in the emergency number and press .
Your radio has two levels of keyguard:
• Keypad locks the keypad and the power key. To activate this keyguard, press
Menu and within 1.5 seconds. Keypad locked is briefly displayed.
• All keys locks the keypad, group selector, power key, , and . is not
locked if Duty key setting is set to Home group call. To activate this keyguard,
press Menu, and press and hold within 1.5 seconds. All keys are locked is
briefly displayed.
To unlock either keyguard, press Unlock and within 1.5 seconds.
You can answer a phone call and respond to a group call or an express call when
either keyguard is on. When the call ends, the keys are automatically locked. See
also Keyguard settings on page 104.
When the radio is switched on and ready for use and no characters have been
entered by the user, the radio is in the standby mode. The following indicators
appear:
xxxxxx In the network mode, if group calls are switched off, indicates in which
network the radio is currently used. Group calls off is also displayed.
In the network mode, when group calls are switched on and there is a
selected group, the folder name, the group name, and the group status are
displayed. In the direct mode, the channel name and the group name are
displayed.
In the network mode, shows the signal strength of the cellular network at
your current location. The higher the bar, the stronger the signal.
If the radio is out of service, there is no bar, and No service is displayed.
Shows the battery charge level. The higher the bar, the more power in the
battery.
The middle selection key in the standby mode is Menu, and the right selection key
is Names. The left selection key is Go to; press it to access your personal shortcut
list, and select the desired function. To edit the shortcut list, select Options and
one of the following:
• Select options—to view the list of available functions. Press Mark to add a
function to the shortcut list, and press Unmark to remove a function.
In the network mode, 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 predefined by your organisation. In the
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. For information on
red key calls in the direct mode, see Red key calls and emergency calls in direct
mode on page 70.
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 call is
displayed with the call information.
■ Group selector and back key
In the 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
