In addition, as with all Motorola products, the MCS 2000 mobile family is designed to work reliably and maintain its durability under adverse conditions. The MCS 2000 family offers the following benefits: 6 ■ Companion product to the MTS 2000 portable The MCS 2000 mobile radio and the MTS 2000 portable radio share the same technology platform, user interface, and design. For users operating both radio types, consistency between radios means reduced training and ease of use when switching between the portable and mobile radios. Once users are familiar with one radio, they can quickly adapt to the companion product. ■ Field upgradeable and configurable You can easily upgrade your radio in the field using the FLASHport™ feature, and can change its configuration using RSS (Radio Service Software). This permits easy migration as your radio needs grow and technology advances. New features can be added to the current system, or the radio can be reprogrammed for new system operation (within the original frequency range). ■ Wide range of frequencies The MCS 2000 mobile radios can be ordered for the VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, or 900 MHz frequency bands. ■ Configurable for multiple trunking systems The radio can be configured to operate on Privacy Plus, StartSite, SMARTNET, SMARTNET Type I, SmartZone, SECURENET, Automatic Multiple Site Select, MPT1327, and Select 5 systems. This provides a unique ability for your radios to be backwards compatible with other private system types, as well as offering your users the ability to operate on Specialized Mobile Radio (SMR) systems. Mobile range can be extended and back-up system operation can be facilitated with the ability to operate on SMR systems. ■ Software-configurable channel spacing The MCS 2000 radios can be programmed to either 12.5 kHz or 25 kHz channel spacing. With 12.5 kHz channel spacing becoming a requirement in many countries, the MCS 2000 allows you to proactively meet future changes without having to purchase a new radio. The ability to program 25 kHz or 12.5 kHz channel spacing within one radio allows you to efficiently use frequency spectrum.

Refer to HUB, page 71. Transmitting 1. Lift the microphone off-hook. 2. Check that the channel is not busy (the radio's orange LED should not be lit). If the channel is busy, you can use the Monitor feature described on page 32 to listen to the activity. 32 Orange LED - Receive Red LED - Transmit Conventional Operation 3. If the channel is not busy or you hear no activity, press and hold the microphone's Push-to-Talk button to transmit. 4. The red LED will light and the radio will begin transmitting. Note Your radio may provide a Time-out Timer function to prevent locking up a repeater or channel by prolonged keying of the radio's transmitter. Refer to page 29 for more information. Push-to-Talk button ,,,, ,,,, ,,,, ,,,, ,,,, ,,,, ,,,, Private Line Codes Conventional channels can be programmed with a Tone Private Line (TPL) or Digital Private Line (DPL) code. This code is transmitted at an extremely low frequency while the radio is transmitting voice. A radio can be programmed to unmute only when it detects the proper PL code. This allows more than one group to use the same channel while listening only to activity from their designated group. Smart Push-to-Talk Smart PTT prevents the radio from transmitting on a busy channel. This feature allows the radio to be programmed to: ■ Inhibit Transmission on Busy Mode with Carrier - The radio is prevented from transmitting if any activity is detected on the channel. ■ Inhibit Transmission on Busy Mode with Wrong Squelch Code - The radio is prevented from transmitting on an active mode that has a squelch code other than its own. If the private line code (see page 33) is the same, the transmission will be allowed. When transmission is inhibited, a continuous prohibit tone will sound while the PTT is pressed. 33 Conventional Operation Quick-Key Override Quick-Key Override can be used in conjunction with either of the two Smart PTT variations. With this feature enabled, you can override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying the radio (de-keying and re-keying the PTT within one second). Talkaround This feature allows you to bypass the repeater and talk directly with other radios using the same transmit and receive frequencies. This is useful when radios are within close proximity to each other, or are outside the range of the repeater system. 1. Select RPTR/DIRECT from the menu. RPTR/DIR Model I REPEAT/DIRECT Model II REPEAT/DIRECT Model III 2. Use the mode/channel selector to select DIRECT MODE from the sub-menu. DIRECT Model I DIRECT MODE Model II DIRECT MODE Model III 3. To return to repeater operation, select RPTR/DIRECT from the menu, then select REPEATER MODE. The radio will now transmit through the repeater. 34 Conventional Operation Selective Call Selective Call is a special method of unmuting a radio by means other than PL codes. Radios may be programmed to unmute on receiving proper PL code or a Selective Call (OR muting option), or they may need to receive both PL code and Selective Call to unmute (AND muting option). Transmitting a Selective Call 1. To make a Selective Call, either press C/9 or select PRIVATE CALL from the menu. The last transmitted or received ID is displayed. PVT CALL PRIVATE CALL Model I Model II PRIVATE CALL Model III 2. You can select the ID you wish to call by scrolling forward with the mode selector to select an ID from the call list. You can also scroll backward with the mode selector to show the last group ID called, your own radio ID, and your own radio group ID. If unlimited calling is allowed, you can enter an ID from the keypad. You can also use an asterisk (*) as a wilcard entry. Refer to the MDC SELECTIVE CALL/PAGE flowcharts on page 105 and page 106. Note List members can be edited via a keypad. List member aliases can be reprogrammed only via RSS. See “Editing Radio Lists” on page 72. 3. If Automatic Selective Call is enabled, your radio will remain in Selective Call until you exit. If Automatic Selective Call is disabled in your radio, the radio will immediately exit Selective Call when you release the PTT button. 35 Conventional Operation Receiving a Selective Call When receiving a selective call, the green LED flashes, and your radio generates two high-pitched alert tones and displays CALL RECEIVED for two seconds. The calling radio will then be heard. CALL RCV CALL RECEIVED Model I Model II CALL RECEIVED ID: 3333 Model III To respond with a selective call to the sender of the call, press C/9 or select PRIVATE CALL from the menu. PVT CALL PRIVATE CALL Model I Model II PRIVATE CALL Model III Press the microphone's PTT button to talk. Note If OR muting is programmed into your radio, your radio will unmute whenever it receives proper PL or a Selective Call. If AND muting is programmed into your radio, your radio must receive proper PL and a Selective Call to unmute. For a pre-programmed time after receiving a Selective Call, your radio will unmute on proper PL. After this preprogrammed time expires, another Selective Call with proper PL will be required to unmute the radio. 36 Conventional Operation Call Alert/Page This feature allows a radio to page another radio or group of radios with its ID. Transmitting a Call Alert/Page 1. To make a Call Alert, either press P/& or select PAGE from the menu. PAGE The last transmitted or received ID is displayed. You can select the ID you wish to page by scrolling forward with the mode selector to select an ID from the page list. You can also scroll backward with the mode selector to show the last group ID paged, your own radio ID, and your own radio group ID. If unlimited page is allowed, you can enter an ID from the keypad. Also, refer to the flowchart on page 106. 2. Select an ID from the call list using the mode/channel selector or enter the ID directly from the keypad. 3. To transmit a page to the selected ID, either press the PTT or the Select button. 4. The radio will display ACKNOWLEDGE if received or NO ACKNOWLEDGE if the paged radio is not reached, as described on page 66. Note For more information on transmitting a Call Alert/Page, refer to the MDC SELECTIVE CALL/PAGE flowcharts in Appendix B. 37 Conventional Operation Receiving a Call Alert Page 1. When your radio receives a Call Alert page, the green LED lights, alert tones sound every 5 seconds, and the display alternates between PAGE RECEIVED and the normal radio display. PAGE RCV PAGE RECEIVED Model I Model II PAGE RECEIVED ID: 1111 Model III 2. The ID of the paging radio may be viewed by entering PAGE via button or menu for the Models I and II radios. The ID is shown on the second line on the Model III radio. 3. If you enabled external alarms before leaving your vehicle, those alarms will engage when the alert is received. See page 28 for more information on External Alarm. 4. Clear the Call Alert by pressing the microphone's PTT button or any other button except D. Quick Call II Quick Call II allows the radio to decode calls directed to it or its group by a specific series of tone signalling preceding the call. The muting type selections are the same as described in the first paragraph in the Selective Call section. GE Star GE Star signalling has two features: 38 ■ Push-to-talk ID - the radio is programmed to always transmit its ID to the system before transmitting voice. ■ Emergency Alarm - Emergency alarm is very similar to the emergency alarm described on page 62 except that the system does not respond with an acknowledgment of the alarm transmission. After sending a GE Star emergency alarm, the radio will automatically exit emergency. Conventional Operation Singletone Repeater Access Either a manual button press or automatic transmission of a specific tone will identify the repeater to which the radio desires to transmit. This feature is used when two repeaters in close proximity on the same frequency are used to process transmissions. The radio will select which repeater will broadcast its transmission. If manual repeater access is enabled, you must press the repeater access button prior to voice transmission to specify the repeater on which you wish to transmit. All non-voice transmission (such as status, message, or call alert) will automatically send the repeater access; a button press is not needed. If automatic repeater access is enabled, the radio will automatically send a repeater access tone prior to all transmissions. Telephone Interconnect Your radio may be equipped with Telephone Interconnect, which allows you to make calls to landline telephones through the repeater. Notes 1. The mobile operator can either talk or listen at one time, whereas the landline user has duplex (talk and listen) operation. This means a mobile operator who is speaking will not hear an interruption from the landline user. Therefore, the landline user should be advised to listen for the beep before speaking. 2. Both parties will hear a high-pitched alert tone fifteen seconds before the call times out; you will then have fifteen seconds to complete your conversation. 1. Press p/$to activate Telephone Interconnect. 2. When initiating a phone call on a conventional system, you will usually need a special code to gain access to the repeater’s telephone interconnect function. This access code is transmitted in one of four ways, depending on how your radio is programmed: - Immediate - The radio automatically sends a pre-stored access code as soon as you press p/$. 39 Conventional Operation - Manual - You must enter the access code, using the keypad, then press s/8 or the PTT button to transmit the code. - Manual Live - You must enter the access code, using the keypad. Each digit of the code will be transmitted as it is entered. - Delayed - You must press s/8 or the PTT button and the radio sends the stored access code. Note If no dial tone sounds after transmitting the access code, telephone interconnect might not be functioning. Press h/6 or p/$ to hang up. 3. The radio supports three dialing options: - Last Dialed Number - The last dialed number is shown on the display. Press s/8 or the PTT to call this number. If your radio is equipped with buffered dialing, you can replace the number in the display by entering a new number. To insert a pause into the dialing stream, press #, then *. A P will be displayed to indicate the pause. - Dialing List - To select a number from the dialing list, use the mode/ channel selector to scroll to the number you wish to call. The display will show the name, alternating with the phone number. - Direct Entry - With a keypad (either Model III keypad or keypad microphone) and unlimited phone operation enabled, you can directly enter the number you wish to dial. You can enter a new number only while the last dialed number is displayed. If you are in the call list, press the zero (0) key to return to the last dialed number display. For more information on dialing options, refer to the flowcharts on page 102 (Phone List Direct Entry),page 103 (Phone List Scrolling), and page 104 (Phone List Editing). 4. Press s/8 or the PTT to call the displayed number (unless Live Dialing is enabled). 5. When the call is completed, press h/6 or p/$ to de-access the phone and return to normal operation. 40 5 Trunking Operation What’s In This Chapter? ■ Transmitting - describes how to transmit on a selected trunked mode and how to handle a busy or out-of-range condition (page 42) ■ Private Call - describes how to carry on a conversation that is heard only by the two radios involved (page 43) ■ Call Alert Page - describes how to send an alert to another radio with an acknowledgment if the alert was successful (page 47) ■ One-Touch Button - describes how to access and automatically transmit a specific feature by pressing only one button (page 48) ■ Dynamic Regrouping - describes how the dispatcher can temporarily reassign selected individual radios to a new group (page 49) ■ Automatic Multiple-Site Switching - describes how AMSS extends communications beyond the reach of a single trunked site (page 51) ■ SmartZone - describes the extended trunking features available with SmartZone (page 53) ■ Voice on Control Operation - describes the feature that allows the control channel to be used for voice operation (page 54) ■ Trunked Type II Announcement - describes how to make announcements to the entire talkgroup and monitor calls (page 54) ■ Failsoft - describes what happens if a central controller fails (page 55) ■ Telephone interconnect - describes how to use the Telephone feature on a trunked system (page 56) 41 Trunking Operation Transmitting 1.

Release the PTT button and try again when the vehicle is within range of the system. Trunking Operation Out of Range If this optional function is programmed in your radio, a display and/or tone will indicate when you have left the coverage area of the trunked system. The display will alternate between: NO SYS Model I OUT OF RANGE Model II OUT OF RANGE CHANNEL 3 Model III and/or the out of range tone will sound (depending upon radio programming). Private Call There are three Private Call types: Private Call I, Private Call II, and Enhanced Private Call. (Enhanced Private Call is not available for 800 MHz radios.) Contact your radio system manager to determine the type programmed into your radio. Private Call I and II Private Call I and II allow you to carry on a conversation that is heard only by the two radios involved. All MCS 2000 models are capable of receiving a Private Call sent by another radio. Basic operation is as follows: 1. The calling radio enters Private Call, selects an ID, and presses PTT. 2. The calling radio begins transmitting voice. 3. The receiving radio indicates CALL RECEIVED and hears voice transmitted from calling radio. 4. The receiving radio enters the Private Call feature and presses PTT to respond to the calling radio. Enhanced Private Call Enhanced Private Call ensures that you do not access a voice channel until the called radio responds to the private call. This ensures efficiency of channels and resources. Basic operation is as follows: 43 Trunking Operation 1. The calling radio enters Private Call, selects an ID, and presses PTT or s. 2. The calling radio sends a ring request to the receiving radio. 3. The receiving radio automatically acknowledges the request. 4. The calling radio initiates a telephone-style ring. 5. The receiving radio enters the Private Call feature and presses PTT within 20 seconds; the private call is established. 6. The calling radio stops ringing and the conversation proceeds until the radios exit Private Call. Transmitting a Private Call Your radio can have a unique list of preprogrammed ID numbers that the radio may call, along with an RSS-programmable name associated with each ID in the call list for your convenience. Model III radios can manually enter any ID using the numeric digits on the builtin keypad. Model II radios can manually enter any ID using the numeric digits on the optional keypad microphone. (Model I radios do not have this feature, even when used with the optional keypad microphone.) Selecting Private Call IDs 1. Press C/9 or select PRIVATE CALL from the menu. 2. The e annunciator is displayed, as well as the last ID that your radio either (1) received a call alert or private call from, or (2) the last ID that you transmitted a call alert or private call to (whichever occurred last). 3. To call an ID other than the one displayed, (1) type the ID you wish to call (direct entry; requires a keypad), or (2) use the mode selector to scroll to an ID in the call list. Note For more information on selecting Private Call IDs, refer to the TRUNKING PRIVATE CALL/PAGE flowcharts in Appendix B. To See Your Own ID 1. Press C/9 or select PRIVATE CALL from the menu.

If the system is busy when you attempt to answer the call: ■ A busy tone sounds. ■ The radio's orange BUSY LED lights. ■ When a channel becomes available, you will receive a callback and your radio will automatically key up for three seconds so that you can begin talking. 4. After completing the Private Conversation, press the h/6 or C/9 button to hang up. Note 46 Depending on radio programming, receiving additional private calls will either be ignored and not acknowledged or they will overwrite the last private call ID. Only the last private call ID will be saved. Trunking Operation Call Alert/Page The Call Alert/Page feature allows a radio to transmit a call alert with your radio ID to a selected radio. An acknowledge display will show if the selected radio receives your alert. Transmitting a Call Alert/Page 1. Select the Page feature by pressing P/& or select PAGE from the menu. The e annunciator displays, along with the last transmitted or received ID. 707070 ID: 707070 Model I Model II LAST RCVD/XMIT ID: 707070 Model III 2. To send a Call Alert/Page to an ID from the Call List, Use the mode/channel selector to scroll to the name/ID you wish to call. Lists include 1 to 10 members for the Model I radio, and 1 to 19 members for the Models II and III radios. Note While scrolling through the list, you can jump directly to a member in the call list by pressing the index number on the keypad. Refer to the TRUNKING PRIVATE CALL/ PAGE flowcharts in Appendix B for more information. 3. To send a Call Alert/.Page using Unlimited Call Alert (available on Model III and Model II with a keypad microphone), Scroll the display to show the last transmitted or received ID; then Enter the ID you wish to Call Alert using the keypad. 4.

If your radio is equipped with a keypad, press* while in the list to show the MY ID: display. 47 Trunking Operation Receiving a Call Alert/Page 1. When your radio receives a Call Alert page, the display alternates between: PAGE RCV Model I PAGE RECEIVED PAGE RECEIVED ID: 707070 Model II Model III and the selected mode, and four tones will repeat every five seconds. If external alarms are armed, they will be triggered. 2. The ID of the radio that paged you is stored in the last transmitted or received ID field of the Call List. This is the first entry shown when entering the Call Alert Page feature. 3. To stop the Call Alert tones, press any button except D. The Call Alert tones and display will stop. Note Depending on radio programming, receiving additional call alerts will either be ignored and not acknowledged, or they will overwrite the last call alert ID. Only the last call alert ID received will be saved. You may also view the ID of the radio that sent you a call alert/page by entering Private Call. The ID is displayed upon entering Private Call. Press PTT to respond with a private call. One-Touch Button The One-Touch Button feature is an optional radio enhancement. If your radio is programmed for one-touch button operation, it can access and automatically transmit a specific feature by pressing only one button. Up to four one-touch buttons may be programmed on all models. One-Touch Button is available for the following features: ■ 48 Phone - Press the one-touch button to dial a pre-programmed phone number. (Refer to Telephone Interconnect on page 56 for further operating information.) Trunking Operation ■ Call Alert Page - Press the one-touch button to send a Call Alert Page to a preprogrammed radio ID. (Refer to Call Alert/Page on page 47 for further operating information.) ■ Status or Message - Press the one-touch button to send a pre-programmed status or message. (Refer to Status/Message Transmission on page 75 for further operating information.) ■ Private Call - Press the one-touch button to initiate a Private Call to a preprogrammed radio ID. For Private Call II, you must also press the PTT to begin the Private Call. (Refer to Private Call on page 43 for further operating information.) Dynamic Regrouping The dynamic regrouping feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected individual radios to a new group. Receiving a Dynamic Regrouping Assignment The following occurs when your radio receives a dynamic regrouping assignment: 1. A unique series of tones sounds to alert you that your radio has been dynamically regrouped. 2. The display shows the new dynamic mode name assignment and your radio now operates on this new group. 3. After the dispatcher releases your radio from the dynamic assignment, your radio returns to the mode you were on before being dynamically regrouped. Select Enabled and Disabled Two types of dynamic regrouping are possible: Select Enabled - After being dynamically regrouped, a select-enabled radio may make mode changes using the mode/channel selector to any mode in the radio, including the dynamic group. Select Disabled - A select-disabled radio is forced to remain on the dynamic group and cannot change modes. The channel selector will not function. 49 Trunking Operation Selecting an Unprogrammed Dynamic Mode If no dynamic regrouping assignment has been made and the channel selector is used to select the dynamic regrouping position: 1. An illegal-mode tone sounds. 2. The dynamic mode is not valid until an assignment has been made. 3. Use the mode/channel selector to change to a valid mode. Requesting Dynamic Regrouping To request dynamic regrouping, do the following: 1. Select REPROGRAM REQUEST from the menu. RPGM Model I REPROGRAM RQST REPROGRAM RQST Model II Model III 2. The radio will immediately send in a request for regrouping. 3. A central acknowledgment (beep) sounds indicating your request was received by the system's central controller. 4. The radio displays ACKNOWLEDGE or NO ACKNOWLEDGE, as described on page 66. 50 Trunking Operation Automatic Multiple-Site Switching Communications may be extended beyond the reach of a single trunked site (antenna location) by the automatic multiple-site switching (AMSS) feature. AMSS automatically switches the radio to a different site when the current-site signal is lost. Typically, this happens when the vehicle in which the radio is located is driven out of the range of a site. The radio will immediately scan for a new site in the AMSS system. Manually Changing Sites 1. Check which site the radio has currently selected by momentarily pressing 2. The current site name or number is displayed momentarily. If the radio is currently searching for a site, the following is displayed: SCANNING Model I SCANNING SITE SCANNING SITE CHANNEL 3 Model II Model III 2. Manually initiate a scan to another site by pressing and holding 2 until a good key tone sounds. RSSI Text Display Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) is used by the radio in automatic site switching. It gives an indication of how strong a signal is being received by the radio. When you press 2, the radio will display the current site, followed by the RSSI text display as follows: RSSI 103 Model I RSSI: 103 Model II SITE 5 RSSI: 103 Model III 51 Trunking Operation Signal Rating RSSI Value EXCELLENT GOOD ACCEPTABLE POOR 101 and above 97 to 100 93 to 97 Below 93 Inhibiting Automatic Site Switching Use the AMSS lock function as follows to prevent the radio from automatically scanning for a new site. 1. Select SITE LOCK/UNLK from the menu. LCK/UNLK SITE LCK/UNLK Model I Model II SITE LCK/UNLK Model III 2. Use the mode/channel selector to display SITE LOCKED. Press s/8. 3. To unlock the site and re-enable automatic switching, select SITE UNLOCKED from the SITE LOCK/UNLK menu and press s/8. Note 52 If SITE LOCKED is selected, the radio will only use the site that it is currently using when site lock is selected. If the user drives out of range of the site-locked site, the radio will indicate ”out of range” until the manual scanning site feature is selected or the radio is site unlocked. Trunking Operation SmartZone Features SmartZone provides the following features: ■ SmartZone enhances AMSS operations by allowing more sites in the trunked system and only allocating channels at sites where users are affiliated. All SmartZone radios will automatically affiliate upon switching sites and will de-affiliate from the system when they are powered down. ■ SmartZone improves site switching by automatically switching the radio to a different site whenever a significantly better site is found based on site preferences and signal strengths. SmartZone radios are constantly looking for better sites for operation. ■ SmartZone automatic site switching keeps the radio in good communication range at all times when the radio is in range of the system. AMSS manual site switching functions are available in SmartZone; however, their use is discouraged as they can adversely affect SmartZone automatic switching operation. Busy Override In a SmartZone System It is possible for one or more sites to have all available repeaters in use. If a radio user tries to make a call and members of his talkgroup are present at a busy site, the radio initiating the call will receive a system busy signal. The initiating radio can override the busy signal to immediately talk to talkgroup members at all available sites, with those at busy sites being brought into the conversation when repeaters at the busy sites become available. To send a busy override: 1. Upon receiving the system busy tone, release the PTT and then immediately press the PTT again. 2. The busy tones will be heard for a few seconds and then a good-key-chirp tone will be heard. 3. The busy override is sent to the system. 4. The system will place the call or another system busy will be sent if the busy cannot be overridden. Note Using busy-override means that not everyone in your group will hear the call. 53 Trunking Operation Site Trunking In a SmartZone system, if a site is operating in local mode where transmissions are between users at a single site only, the radio will display SITE TRUNKING alternating with the selected mode. When operating in site trunking, the radio will be allowed to send and receive normal trunking calls; however, the radio will only be able to communicate with other radios operating on this site. Full Spectrum Scan Because SmartZone systems can have many sites, and future sites may be added to existing SmartZone systems, the radio needs to be able to find sites that are not programmed into its memory. If full spectrum scan is enabled, and if the radio cannot find a site from its memory on power-up, it can search the current channel band looking for a site. Note that SmartZone radios also receive information about sites over-the-air, and all site information is stored upon power-down. Full spectrum scan is only used when the radio cannot find a site in its memory on power-up. Voice On Control Operation Voice on control (VOC) is a system feature that allows a control channel to become a voice channel when all other repeaters are being used. If the system has sites that operate in VOC mode, the radio must be programmed for VOC operation to operate properly. Trunked Type II Announcement The announcement capability allows a user to make announcements to the entire user group, as well as to monitor talkgroup calls and other announcements. To initiate an announcement, do the following: 1. If your radio has been programmed to allow announcement calls, use the mode/channel selector to scroll to the announcement-group mode. 2. Press the microphone's PTT button to initiate the announcement. 54 Trunking Operation Failsoft If the trunked system's central controller fails for any reason, the system will go into failsoft. In failsoft, the radios transmit and receive on a pre-determined repeater frequency in a conventional carrier squelch mode. All transmissions on this frequency will be heard by all radios, regardless of talkgroup. The failsoft condition is indicated by: ■ A faint beeping tone every ten seconds (radio unmuted). ■ FAILSOFT alternating with the selected mode display. FAILSOFT Model I FAILSOFT Models II FAILSOFT CHANNEL 3 Model III When the trunking system returns to normal operation: ■ An alert sounds. ■ The FAILSOFT display stops. ■ The faint beeping stops. ■ The radio mutes. Since the normal trunking features do not operate during failsoft, much of the privacy of trunked systems is lost. You will have to share the channel with other users until the failure is corrected. 55 Trunking Operation Telephone Interconnect Your radio may be equipped with Telephone Interconnect, which allows you to make calls to landline telephones through the trunking system repeater. Calls from a mobile radio operator using a trunking system are private. Calls that the landline user initiates can be private or can include an entire group. Note 1. The mobile operator can either talk or listen at one time, whereas the landline user has duplex (talk and listen) operation. This means a mobile operator who is speaking will not hear an interruption from the landline user. Therefore, the landline user should be warned to listen for the beep before speaking. 2. Both parties will hear a high-pitched alert tone fifteen seconds before the call times out; you will then have fifteen seconds to complete your conversation. With any of the radio models, you may initiate and receive telephone calls if the trunked system is properly equipped. The trunked system will allocate a voice channel for your phone call. Other radio users will not be able to hear your call. Receiving a Telephone Call 1. When your radio receives a telephone call, you will hear a telephone-type ringing sound and the display shows: PHONE Model I PHONE CALL Models II PHONE CALL GROUP 3 Model III 2. Enter the phone feature by pressing p/$ or selecting PHONE from the menu. You can now begin your phone conversation. 3. Press the PTT to talk and release to listen. You will be unable to hear the caller while you have the PTT pressed. 56 Trunking Operation 4. When the call is completed, exit the phone feature by pressing h/6 or p/$. This hangs up the phone and returns the radio to normal operation. 5. An incoming telephone call will activate the external alarm feature if the external alarm feature is enabled, as described on page 28.

There are three different types of emergency activation available for your radio: ■ A built-in emergency button (1) on the radio’s control head. ■ An optional footswitch. ■ An optional external emergency push-button. Refer to the MCS 2000 Accessories Guide for more information on the emergency footswitch and emergency push-button. See back pages of this manual for publication ordering information. ! The Emergency button may be programmed by RSS to require an extended press to activate Emergency. Contact your radio system manager for programming information. Caution Emergency Alarm The emergency alarm feature sends a data transmission on the trunked control channel to alert the dispatcher of your emergency condition and identify your radio ID. If emergency alarm only is enabled, the radio will return to normal operation after sending the emergency alarm transmission. Note If both Emergency Alarm and Call are enabled, the radio will enter Emergency Call mode after sending the Emergency Alarm transmission. 1. Press the emergency button 1. 2. The red LED lights and the emergency is transmitted. 3. A central acknowledgment (beep) indicates that the alarm was received by the trunked system's central controller. 4. A dispatcher acknowledgment (four beeps) and an ACK RECEIVED display indicate that the alarm was received by the dispatcher. Refer to page 66 for more information. 62 Common Features Emergency Call Emergency call gives you priority access to a voice channel for all subsequent transmissions after you press the emergency button. 1. Press the emergency button. - - If your radio is programmed for emergency call only, an alert tone (beep) sounds and the display alternates between EMERGENCY and the selected talkgroup. EMERGENCY If emergency alarm and call are enabled, the radio will first send the emergency alarm to the dispatcher, then alternate between EMERGENCY and the selected talkgroup. 2. Press the PTT button to initiate the emergency call. The red LED lights, indicating that the emergency call is being transmitted. 3. To exit the emergency call, press and hold the emergency button until an alert tone sounds. The alternating EMERGENCY display goes away and the radio returns to normal operation.

The radio will remain in emergency until the user exits by a long press of the Emergency button. Silent Emergency Alarm The silent emergency alarm feature transmits an emergency alarm and freezes the current display. The radio will not emit any tones or voice through the speaker, or change the display, after the emergency button is pressed. No indication that the emergency has been transmitted will be given by the radio. 1. Press the emergency button to activate the silent alarm feature. 2. To exit the silent alarm feature (with emergency alarm and call enabled), press the PTT button to initiate an emergency call (the display will indicate the emergency state) or press and hold the emergency button until an alert tone sounds to exit emergency. 63 Common Features Special Emergency Considerations Modes Without Emergency ■ If you press the 1 button while in a mode with no emergency capability, you will hear an invalid key tone. ■ If you press the 1 button in a mode with emergency capability, then change to a mode that has no emergency capability, the following display is shown (alternates with the mode name): NO EMER NO EMERGENCY Model I ■ Model II NO EMERGENCY CHANNEL 3 Model III You will hear a continuous low tone until you select a valid emergency mode or cancel the emergency transmission. Emergency Alarm Not Acknowledged If the radio is out of range of the system and/or the emergency alarm is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and a “no acknowledge” is sent. Refer to page 66. Note To resend an emergency alarm after a “no acknowledge” is received, press the 1 button again. To exit emergency mode, press and hold the 1 button. Changing Modes During Emergency ■ 64 When an emergency is active, changing to another mode where emergency is enabled (trunked or conventional) will cause an emergency alarm to be transmitted and/or emergency call to be active on the new mode. Common Features Emergency Call Received Operation If the radio is programmed with emergency receive enabled, it will alternate the display with the selected mode whenever it is listening to an emergency call. EMER RCV EMER RECEIVED EMER RECEIVED CHANNEL 3 Model II Model III Model I Emergency With Voice to Follow This enhanced emergency alarm feature (also called “Hot Microphone”) is available only on the Models II and III radios. A visor microphone is required for operation. With this feature, the radio is placed in the transmit mode for a preprogrammed period of time after the emergency alarm is activated. During this time period, the “hands-free” mode is activated, and voice transmissions can be made without pressing PTT. Transmit time is programmable by RSS. Contact your radio system manager for more information on how your radio is programmed. The radio will remain in normal Emergency Call after the transmit time has expired. To re-initiate the Hot Microphone emergency, you must exit and restart the emergency. Note Attach the visor microphone to your sun visor or to some other location where the operator’s voice can be audibly transmitted. Testing of this feature is recommended to assure that an audible transmission can be made. 65 Common Features Transmission Received - Acknowledge/No Acknowledge When your radio transmits the following types of calls: - Call Alert - Emergency alarm - Status - Message - Reprogram request for dynamic regrouping an “acknowledge” or “no acknowledge” message appears on your radio’s display to indicate a successful or unsuccessful receipt of the transmission by the receiving radio. If the transmission is acknowledged: ACKNOWLEDGE - A dispatcher-acknowledge (four beeps) sounds. - The display shows ACKNOWLEDGE. - The radio returns to normal operation automatically. If there is no acknowledgment of the transmission: - A continuous illegal tone sounds. - The display shows NO ACKNOWLEDGE. Note NO ACKNOWLEDGE To resend an emergency alarm after a “no acknowledge” is received, press the 1 button again. To exit emergency mode, press and hold the 1 button. The “acknowledge” or “no acknowledge” display varies according to the model, as shown below: NO ACK Model I 66 NO ACKNOWLEDGE NO ACKNOWLEDGE CHANNEL 3 Model II Model III Common Features Scanning The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on multiple modes and channels. When a call is detected on a scan mode, the radio will unmute on the call until the call ends (and hang-time expires, as described on page 70) or until a higher priority call is detected. The modes to be scanned are programmed by RSS, or you can program the modes if operator-selectable scan has been enabled, as described on page 72. Note You may miss activity on your selected mode while you are listening to a call on a scanned mode. Types of Scan Lists Two types of scan lists are available, depending on your radio’s programming: priority scan and talkgroup scan. Contact your system administrator to determine the type of scan programmed into your radio. Priority Scan List(Trunked or Conventional) Advantage: Allows users to designate two modes within the scan list as having higher priority or importance than other scan list members. Disadvantage: Modes in the scan list can either be all conventional modes or all trunked modes from the same trunking system. Scan List Members: - Priority 1 - A call occuring on this scan list member will immediately interrupt any other calls you may be listening to. Only one scan list member may be designated as Priority 1. - Priority 2 - A call occuring on this scan list member will immediately interrupt any other calls you may be listening to, but will not interrupt calls on the Priority 1 scan list member. Only one scan list member may be designated Priority 2. - Non-Priority - A call occuring on these scan list members will never interrupt calls from a priority scan list member. Non-priority members all have equal importance. Multiple non-priority members are allowed. 67 Common Features Talkgroup Scan List Advantage: Trunked modes from multiple systems and conventional channels may be programmed in a talkgroup scan list. Disadvantages: - All members have equal priority. - Activity may be missed, since the radio must switch between scanning multiple trunked systems and conventional channels. Scan List Members: - Non-Priority - All scan list members have the same priority. Scan calls are never interrupted due to other scan activity. Up to 10 non-priority members are allowed. Scan Indicators If only the scan indicator is displayed when activity is detected, the active mode is a non-priority mode. A solidly-lit priority dot adjacent to the scan indicator means that the active mode is the second-priority mode. A blinking priority dot adjacent to the scan indicator means that the active mode if the first-priority mode. Note 68 The radio can be programmed to generate an alert tone when detecting activity on a priority mode. Common Features Turning Scan On and Off 1. To activate the scan function, press S/: (if equipped) or select SCAN from the menu and then select SCAN ON from the submenu. SCAN ON 2. The icon is displayed, along with the pointer above the S button, and the radio begins scanning. SEC GRP3 SECURITY GRP3 Model I Model II SECURITY GROUP 3 Model III 3. If the radio finds no activity on a scanned mode: - The display remains on the selected mode. - The radio remains muted. 4. If the radio detects activity on a scanned mode: - The display shows the active mode information. - The appropriate priority scan indicator is displayed, as described on page 68. - The radio unmutes. 5. After detecting activity, the radio will monitor the scanned mode until activity has ceased and a pre-programmed hang-time expires. 6. To turn off scan, press S/: again or select SCAN from the menu, the select SCAN OFF from the submenu. Note All scan lists remain in memory when you turn scan off, or turn the radio off, or disconnect the radio from the battery. Auto-Scan A mode can be programmed for scan to always be on (enabled). Whenever a mode with auto-scan is selected, scan cannot be turned off using the button or the menu. 69 Common Features Scan Hang-Time Scan hang-time is the amount of time the radio will continue monitoring the scanned mode after activity has ceased. This is done in case the conversation continues after a momentary pause. The radio will not resume scan until both the scanned mode’s activity and hang-time have expired. The amount of hangtime is programmable. Nuisance Delete To temporarily disable scanning of specific modes, you can use the nuisance delete feature. If the nuisance delete feature is enabled, non-priority scan modes can be temporarily deleted from scanning by doing the following: 1. While the radio is scanning a mode you wish to delete: - Press the Delete button, or - Press # (on Model III or Models I and II with optional keypad microphone). 2. The mode is deleted from the scan. Activity on that mode will no longer cause the radio to unmute. 3. The nuisance deleted modes will be restored when scan is re-started by: - Changing mode. - Turning scan off, then back on. - Turning the radio off, then back on. - Activating recall. Recall Recall causes all nuisance deleted members to be restored to the scan. Recall is activated by pressing the Recall button or by pressing * (on Model III or Models I and II with optional keypad microphone). 70 Common Features Viewing a Scan List To view the contents of a scan list, do the following: 1. Select VIEW LISTS from the menu. 2. Select SCAN. The and annunciators display. 3. Use the mode/channel selector to scroll through the scan list modes. Normal priority modes are designated by the scan indicator and absence of a priority dot. Priority modes are indicated by a solid (priority 2) or blinking (priority 1) dot priority indicator: Note ELECT W Example of Priority 1 mode ELECT W Example of Priority 2 mode 4. Press h/6 to exit scan list viewing. Hang-up Box If the Hang-up Box (HUB) Suspend Scan feature is enabled: ■ Scan is suspended while the microphone is removed from the holding clip. ■ If talkback scan is enabled, scan will be suspended on the mode that the radio is currently monitoring. ■ If talkback scan is disabled, scan will be suspended on the selected mode. ■ If HUB defeats PL is enabled, removing the microphone from the holding clip performs the same function as turning Monitor on, regardless of the state of the Monitor button. ■ Scan will be resumed when the microphone is returned to the holding clip. Note Scanning of priority members is never suspended. 71 Common Features Editing Radio Lists Depending on how your radio is programmed, you can edit three lists within the radio: the scan list, the call list, and the phone list. Editing the Scan List Refer to the Appendix B flowchart on page 111 for more information on editing a scan list. Note Operator-selectable scan must be enabled in order to edit a scan list. To select the scan list editing function: 1. Press and hold S/: (if equipped) or select PROGRAM LISTS from the menu and turn the mode/channel selector to the SCAN submenu item. PROGRAM LISTS 2. The annunciator blinks and you will hear a good-key chirp. 3. Use the mode/channel selector to scroll through the modes. 4. Use the select button to change the displayed mode as follows: 72 - If any priority level is not operator-selectable or available, the select button sequence will skip that level; e.g., if only non-priority members are operator selectable, the select button sequence will toggle the mode between not being a scan list member and being a non-priority member, since priority 1 and priority 2 elements cannot be edited. - In scan list editing, the channel selector will scroll across zone boundaries; i.e., when scrolling up at the end of channels in zone 1, scan list editing will go to the first channel in zone 2. - You may enter channels from any zone into the scan list. - The zone select button does NOT function in scan list editing. Common Features - - If a scan list is full: - The radio will display SCAN LIST FULL - You will hear a bad-key tone each time you press S/8 - The displayed mode will not be added to the list. If you remove all members of a scan list, and the Scan function is still turned on, upon exit you will hear a continuous low-pitched tone and the display will change to EMPTY LIST. SCAN LIST FULL EMPTY LIST 5. Press h/6 to exit scan list editing. Editing the Call List You can edit the Call Lists to enter frequently called or paged IDs into a permanently stored list for easy access. The editing feature allows you to change the IDs at any time. You are NOT able to change the alias names associated with the IDs. For more information, refer to the flowchart on page 110.

It uses sophisticated digital encryption techniques to prevent unintended listeners from overhearing your voice traffic. The flexibility to operate in both encrypted (secure) and clear (non-secure) modes means that SECURENET radios are easily integrated into existing systems and can remain in touch with non-secure radios in the system. Note SECURENET operation is available in Conventional, SMARTNET Type II, and SmartZone systems, but is not supported by StartSite systems, SMARTNET Type I, or 900 MHz radios. Quick Reference To use the Quick Reference feature, simply switch your SECURENET-enhanced radio to the coded mode; there is no need to change frequencies. The secure button (3) selects clear or secure transmit operation, if the selected mode is not already strapped as secure-only or clear-only. The secure annunciator (b) indicates the mode of operation: b = SECURENET voice transmission Off = clear voice transmission b flashing = SECURENET call is being received The messages listed in Table 6 can be displayed during secure operation. 78 Secure Operation Table 6 - Secure Display Messages Model I Model II/III Description NO SEC NO SECURE The PTT is pressed, and no secure voice channels are available in the trunked system KEYLDNG KEYLOADING A key-variable loader (KVL) is connected to the radio KEY FAIL KEY FAIL The encryption key has failed ERASED ERASED A key erase has been successfully completed SEC TX SECURE TX ONLY Indicates disallowed downgrade to clear transmit on trunked systems CLR TX CLEAR TX ONLY Indicates disallowed upgrade to secure transmit on trunked systems, or no secure channels are available for the upgrade Tones ■ A group of six medium-pitched tones indicates that the radio cannot receive or transmit in the KEY FAIL secure (SECURENET) mode due to loss of the encryption key. The display also shows KEY FAIL during the tones. This can occur when the radio is first turned on, or after changing to SECURENET transmit operation via the mode/channel selector or via the secure (3)button. ■ Consecutive medium-pitched tones during a secure PTT press indicates that the transmission has been inhibited due to the radio not having the encryption key. The display also shows KEY FAIL during the tones. ■ If the radio is so programmed, six medium-pitched tones will sound every 5 to 10 seconds while the radio is not transmitting to serve as a reminder that there is a problem with secure (SECURENET) operation. The keyfail reminder will sound only when the radio is configured for SECURENET transmit operation. The display alternates between KEY FAIL and the current mode. ■ Key fail tones will not sound once the key has been reloaded. ■ If your radio is so programmed, one beep immediately after the PTT switch is pressed will indicate that your transmission is clear (non-secure). 79 Secure Operation Basic SECURENET Operation Radio On/Off If the encryption key has failed or has not been loaded, the display will momentarily show KEY FAIL, accompanied by a six-beep keyfail tone. For SECURENET operation to function, reload the encryption key from a keyvariable loader (KVL). Monitoring SECURENET transmissions from a radio that has the same key as the monitoring radio will be heard clearly. If the monitoring radio has no encryption key or is using a different key, the SECURENET transmission is heard as noise which is nearly indistinguishable from channel noise. Receiving Conventional Modes SECURENET-equipped radios automatically determine whether a SECURENET or clear voice message is being received. The orange LED status indicator will turn on continuously when receiving a clear call, and the LED and the b icon will blink while receiving a SECURENET call. Trunked Systems SECURENET-equipped radios automatically determine whether a SECURENET or clear voice message is being received. The secure annunciator (b) blinks while a SECURENET call is being received. Transmitting Conventional Modes If the selected mode is not strapped as either secure-only or clear-only, pressing the secure button (3) chooses secure or clear transmit operation. The secure annunciator will indicate the transmit operation: ■ 80 b = SECURENET voice transmission Secure Operation ■ Off = clear voice transmission The radio can also be programmed so that one beep sounds immediately after the PTT switch is pressed for a clear (non-secure) transmission. Note If the secure button is pressed during a transmission (PTT active), the transmission is aborted, and an alert tone sounds until PTT is released. The transmit operation change will be effective with the next PTT press. Trunked Systems If the selected mode is not strapped as either secure-only or clear-only, pressing the secure button (3) chooses secure or clear transmit operation. The secure annunciator will indicate the transmit operation: ■ b = SECURENET voice transmission ■ Off = clear voice transmission The radio can also be programmed so that one beep sounds immediately after the PTT switch is pressed for a clear (non-secure) transmission. ■ If the secure button (3) is pressed during a transmission (PTT active), the transmission is aborted, and an alert tone will sound until PTT is released. The transmit operation change will be effective with the next PTT press. ■ Calls on modes (talkgroups) that are programmed as neither secure-only nor clear-only can be upgraded from clear to SECURENET during the call by releasing the PTT button, pressing the secure button (3), and pressing the PTT switch again. 81 Secure Operation ■ If a continuous talk prohibit tone is heard when the PTT switch is pressed, transmission is not possible. Either the radio is out of range of the system; or (SECURENET-equipped radios only): - The user has attempted to change the transmit operation from SECURENET to clear during the call (SECURE TX ONLY is displayed), or SECURE TX ONLY - The call may have been upgraded to secure by another user while the radio's transmit operation is still set for clear (SECURE TX ONLY is displayed), or - The user has attempted to change the transmit operation from clear to SECURENET during a call and no secure channels are available (CLEAR TX ONLY is displayed). CLEAR TX ONLY In these cases, the user should change the transmit mode and retry the transmission. ■ If no secure voice channels are currently available for a SECURENET transmission that you wish to make, a trunked busy indication is made. If no secure voice channels exist on the system, the display will show NO SECURE, and you must release the PTT and use clear modes. NO SECURE SECURENET Keyloading and Key Erase This information applies to both conventional and trunked systems. A SECURENET module must be installed in the radio, and an encryption key must be loaded from a Key Variable Loader (KVL) that corresponds to the radio's encryption type. 1. Disconnect the microphone cable from the control head and attach the keyloader cable; refer KEYLOADING to the KVL's instruction manual for loading procedure. While the keyloader is attached, the display shows KEYLOADING. When the key has been loaded successfully, the radio will sound one long beep. 82 Secure Operation Note Some earlier radio models may require use of the keyloading menu to enter keyloading mode. Enter the keyloading mode as follows: Press and hold (typically 1 to 2 seconds) the SECURENET button until the display changes showing the SECURENET menu. Using the channel selector, scroll to the KEYLOAD choice, and press the Select button. The radio is now in keyload mode and displays KEYLOADING. To load the key, remove the microphone cable from the radio control head and insert the keyloader cable; refer to the KVL's instruction manual for loading procedure. When the radio has been loaded successfully, the radio will sound one long medium-pitched tone. Remove the keyloader cable and reinsert the microphone cable. Press the Home button or the PTT switch to exit the keyload mode. Normal radio transmit and receive is disabled while the radio is in keyloading mode. 2. To erase a key, press and hold (typically 1 to 2 seconds) the SECURENET button until the display changes showing the SECURENET menu. 3. Using the channel selector, scroll to the ERASE KEY choice, and press the SELECT button. When key erase is complete, the display will show ERASED. Note ERASE KEY If battery power is removed from the radio for more than 3 days, the radio may lose its encryption key. If the radio is removed from the vehicle or if the vehicle's battery is dead, the radio may lose its encryption key. The radio will nominally retain its key for three days without external power. If the key is lost, it must be reloaded using the KVL. Power source removal is not a guaranteed method of key erasure. 83 Secure Operation Secure Operation with Other Radio Features Smart PTT Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode with Wrong Squelch Code - With this feature enabled, you will be inhibited from transmitting on an active mode with an encryption key other than your own. If the encryption key is the same as yours, the transmission will not be inhibited. Note The Proper Code feature must be programmed in the radio to determine if the encryption key is the same. Trunked Emergency Operation When you are participating in a call, selection of secure or clear transmit operation will be controlled by the secure button (3) unless the selected mode (talkgroup) or default emergency mode has been preprogrammed as secure-only or clear-only. You will not be able to change from SECURENET operation to clear operation, or from clear to SECURENET, during a call. Trunked Private Conversation II When you are participating in a Trunked Private Conversation II call, selection of secure or clear transmit operation is controlled by the secure button (3). You can change from clear operation to SECURENET operation, but not from SECURENET to clear, during a call. Trunked Enhanced Private Conversation When you are participating in a call, selection of secure or clear transmit operation is controlled by the secure button (3). You can change from clear operation to SECURENET operation, but not from SECURENET to clear, during a call. Trunked Telephone Operation When you are making a call, selection of secure or clear transmit operation is controlled by the secure button (3). You can change from clear operation to SECURENET operation, or from SECURENET to clear, during a call. 84 Secure Operation Dynamic Regrouping SECURENET-equipped radios are assigned (by the dispatcher for the dynamicregrouping mode) to be secure-/clear-selectable by the secure button. Failsoft Operation When you are participating in a call, selection of secure or clear transmit operation is controlled by the secure button (3) unless the selected mode (talkgroup) has been preprogrammed as secure-only or clear-only. You can change from SECURENET operation to clear operation, or from clear to SECURENET, during a call. 85 Secure Operation 86 8 Operator Troubleshooting If a FAIL ##/## message is displayed shortly after the radio is turned on, it is an indication that a serious fault exists in the radio. The radio should be serviced by a qualified Motorola service center. If an ERROR ##/## message is displayed shortly after the radio is turned on, it is an indication that some non-critical data has changed in the radio since the radio was operated last. If either the FAIL ##/## or ERROR ##/## message is displayed, if the display goes blank, or if the radio appears to be locked up, refer to the following suggestions. They will assist you in making proper electrical connections to your radio and troubleshooting possible operating problems. ! Caution The cables that connect to the rear of the radio may have live voltage on some of their pins. Be careful not to short the pins to a grounded surface during installation. A blown fuse could result. When connecting the cables to the radio, always plug in the large multi-pin accessory connector first. Otherwise, the radio may begin transmitting an emergency alarm (even if the radio is turned off). 87 Operator Troubleshooting 88 ■ If your radio is locked up or the display shows FL 01/90 (Type I) or FAIL 01/ 90 (Types II and III), turn the radio off and then back on. If this does not correct the condition, check both power line fuses, then turn the radio off and carefully remove and reconnect the cables at the rear of the radio, remembering to plug in the large multi-pin connector first. ■ If radio operation is intermittent, check with others using the system for similar problems before taking the radio in for service. Similar problems would indicate a system malfunction rather than a radio failure. If symptoms persist or if your radio exhibits other problems, contact service personnel. 9 Safety Information What’s In This Chapter? ■ General Safety Information - provides general radio safety information (page 90) ■ Installation Safety Warning - provides safety information to consider when installing the radio (page 91) ■ Important Electromagnetic Emission Information - provides FCCrequired information on electromagnetic emission (page 92) ■ Operational Safety Warning - provides safety information to consider when operating the radio (page 93) ■ Converted Mobile Equipment - provides precautions about converting mobile equipment for portable use (page 94) ■ Airbag Warning Statement - provides precautions about using mobile radios in vehicles equipped with airbags (page 94) 89 Safety Information General Safety Information DO NOT operate the transmitter of any radio unless all RF connectors are secure and any open connectors are properly terminated. DO NOT operate the equipment near electrical blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere. When you are in the vicinity of construction work, look for, and observe, signs cautioning against radio transmissions. If radio transmission is prohibited, you must not transmit until you are out of the area. ALL equipment must be properly grounded according to Motorola installation instructions for safe operation. ALL equipment should be serviced only by a qualified technician. Refer to the appropriate section of the product service manual for additional pertinent safety information. 90 Safety Information Radio Installation Safety Installation Location To prevent possible personal injury, consider the occupants' safety when you choose a location for the radio. Do not mount the radio overhead or on a sidewall unless you take special precautions. ! WARNING If someone were to remove the radio and fail to replace it properly, road shock could bump the radio loose, and the falling radio could, in some circumstances, cause serious injury to the driver or a passenger. In a crash, even when properly installed, the radio could break loose and become a dangerous projectile. If you must mount the radio overhead or on a sidewall, give it the added protection of a retaining strap. Installation Connections ! Caution The cables that connect to the rear of the radio may have live voltage on some of their pins. Be careful not to short the pins to a grounded surface during installation. A blown fuse could result. When connecting the cables to the radio, always plug in the large multi-pin accessory connector first. Otherwise, the radio may begin transmitting an emergency alarm (even if the radio is turned off). 91 Safety Information Important Electromagnetic Emission Information The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), with its action in General Docket 79144, March 13, 1985, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated equipment. Motorola subscribes to this safety standard for the use of its products, and the design of your Motorola radio complies with this standard. Proper use of this radio will result in exposure levels below specified limits. In keeping with sound installation practice and to maximize radiation efficiency, a one-quarter (1/4 ) wave length antenna should be installed at the center of the vehicle roof. If it is necessary to mount the antenna on the vehicle's trunk lid, an appropriate 3db gain antenna should be used. This installation procedure will assure that vehicle occupants will be exposed to radio frequency energy levels lower than the limits specified in the standard adopted by the FCC in General Docket 79144. To assure that radio frequency (RF) energy exposure to bystanders external to a vehicle is lower than that recommended by FCC adopted standard, transmit with any mobile radio only when bystanders are at least two (2) feet away from a properly installed externally mounted antenna for radios with less than 50 watts of output power, or three (3) feet away for radios with 50 watts or greater power. Control Station Operation In the event of Control Station operation, to assure operators and bystanders are exposed to radio frequency (RF) energy levels lower than the limits specified in the FCC adopted standard, the antenna should be installed outside of any building, but in no instance shall the antenna be within two feet (less than 50 watts power output) or within three feet (50 watts or higher power output) of station operators or bystanders. 92 Safety Information Operational Safety ! WARNING ! For vehicles equipped with electronic anti-skid systems, see “ANTI-SKID BRAKING PRECAUTIONS” Publication, Motorola Number 68P81109E34. For vehicles equipped with electronic ignition systems, check the service manual for warnings about the use of two-way radio equipment in the vehicle. To prevent possible personal injury, it is mandatory that radio installations in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas conform to the following standard: National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58 applies to radio installations in vehicles fueled by liquefied WARNING petroleum (LP) gas with LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicles. This standard requires that: ■ Any space containing radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space in which the LP gas container and its fittings are located. ■ Remote (outside) fitting connections shall be used. ■ The container space shall be vented to the outside. 93 Safety Information Converted Mobile Equipment CAUTION - Motorola two-way radio products which have been designed for mobile operation should not be used as battery operated portable units. In such use there is the danger that the user or other persons will be exposed to excessive radio frequency energy levels. This warning Caution applies to all two-way radio equipment radiating in excess of seven watts RF power. Motorola strongly recommends that any product which converts high power equipment for portable operation not be used. ! Airbag Warning ! WARNING An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including communication equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury. Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by a professional installer/technician qualified in the requirements for such installations. An air bag’s size, shape, and deployment area can vary by vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration (e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats). Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment installation. 94 A Native Languages The Native Language Displays listed in this appendix are for an 8-character Model I Display.
