IMPROVED AUDIO FEATURES
Low Level Expansion (LLE)
The LLE feature of your radio improves voice
quality by reducing unwanted background noise
when receiving a message. It is compatible with
most major types of audio processing systems
available today.
Companding
Companding is a feature that allows further
improvement of voice quality. It compresses your
voice at transmission, and expands it when
receiving while simultaneously reducing
extraneous noise. However, to enjoy this benefit,
ALL transmitting and receiving radios must have
this feature activated.
NOTE: Contact your dealer for your radio’s current
companding settings or to change the settings.

LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours
prior to initial use to achieve optimal perfor-
mance.

EMERGENCY SIREN
Your radio can be programmed to emit an
emergency siren. The Emergency Siren will
cause the radio to sound a repetitive tone at the
maximum volume.
1. Press and release the Emergency button to ini-
tiate an Emergency Siren.
2. Press and hold the Emergency button to can-
cel the Emergency Siren.
3. Press and release the Emergency button to
restart the Emergency sequence.
TALKAROUND
In your communications network, you may be
using a repeater to cover a larger area than what
is possible with your radio. However, you can
communicate with another radio within your
radio’s range without going through the repeater
by using the
Talkaround
feature. This is
especially useful when the repeater is down.
Press the programmed Repeater/Talkaround
button to toggle between the options of making
or not making a call through the repeater. A
positive indicator tone indicates that the radio is
in talkaround mode, while a negative indicator
tone indicates that the radio is in repeater mode.
SQUELCH
If a particular channel receives many unwanted
calls coming from radios that do not belong to
your communications group and are some
distance away, or the “background noise” is
excessive, you can try to filter these
transmissions out by tightening the channel’s
squelch. However, tightening squelch could
cause calls from members of your
communications group that are farther away to
be filtered out as well. To set the squelch level:
Press the programmed Squelch button to toggle
between the options of having normal squelch or
tightening the squelch of your radio. A positive
indicator tone indicates that the radio is
operating in tight squelch, while a negative
indicator tone indicates that the radio is
operating in normal squelch.

POWER LEVEL
You can transmit your calls at different transmit
power levels. A higher level means you can
reach a radio that is farther away. Lower power
level conserves battery power. You are advised
to transmit as frequently as possible on low
power, and use high power only when needed.
Press the programmed Tx Power button to
toggle between the options for High or Low
power transmit level. A positive indicator tone
indicates that the radio is operating in low power
mode, while a negative indicator tone indicates
that the radio is operating in high power mode.

SCAN
You can monitor several channels in order to
receive any call that is transmitted on any of
these channels. Sixteen different channels can
be programmed into a scan list. Each channel
can share the same scan list or have different
scan lists assigned to them.
Once the radio’s scan operation is activated and
the radio detects a call coming through a
channel in its scan list, it switches to that
channel for you to receive the call.
STARTING OR STOPPING A SCAN
OPERATION
The LED Indicator will blink (green) during a
scan operation. It will stop blinking when the
radio switches to a channel.
TALKBACK
If the programmable Talkback option is set, you
can respond to any calls received during the
scan operation by pressing the PTT before the
programmed hang-time ends. Check with your
dealer for details.
DELETING A NUISANCE CHANNEL
If a channel continually generates unwanted
calls/noise, you can temporarily remove it from
the scan list by performing a

SCAN CHANNEL DISCOVERY
ALERT
Sometimes you need to know which channel the
radio has switched to during a scan operation.
The Scan Channel Discovery Alert gives you this
information.
After you have stopped a scan operation, this
feature gives you audio feedback when you
select the last channel that was switched to by
the scan operation. To do this:
SCAN LIST MEMBER PRIORITY
A channel in your scan list may be prioritized
(check with your dealer for details). In such a
case, the radio will check that prioritized channel
more frequently than the other non-prioritized
channels.
Assuming a scan list with 6 channels, if all your
channels are non-prioritized, the normal scan
operation would check for activity in the following
sequence:
If Channel 2 is prioritized, the scan operation
would change to
NOTE: Even though your radio has switched to a
non-priority channel, your radio will still check for
activity on the priority channel. If some activity is
detected there, the radio will switch to that prior-
ity channel.

PHONE
You can use your radio to connect to a phone
line to make a phone call. You need a radio with
a keypad to do this.
To do this, your radio must send an access code
to a station that connects it to a phone line. After
you have finished your call, the radio has to send
a deaccess code to shutdown the connection to
the phone line.
MAKING A PHONE CALL
A complete phone session consists of
• entering the Phone mode
• sending the access code
• sending the phone number
• having the phone conversation
• ending the phone call.
Entering the Phone Mode
Before you can make a phone call, you must
enter the radio’s Phone mode.
1. Press the Phone button.
Sending the Access Code
Your radio can be programmed to send the
access code in any of the following ways:
• manual
• automatic delayed
• automatic immediate.
Check with your dealer for more details.
Sending the Phone Number
After the access code is sent, you should wait for
a dialing tone before sending your phone
number.
You can send
•a phone number that is stored in the radio, or
•a new number.
Method Steps to Take
Manual Dial the access code from the keypad.
Automatic
Delayed
Press and release the PTT; the radio
automatically sends the prepro-
grammed access code.
Automatic
Immediate
You do not have to do anything; the
radio immediately sends the access
code when it enters phone mode.

Additionally, depending on how your radio is
programmed, if you use the keypad to send a
number, the radio can send the numbers in one
of the following ways:
• live dial
• buffered dial.
Check with your dealer for details.
Sending a Stored Phone Number
You can access the stored phone numbers by
• recalling the last number dialed,
• using the speed dial feature.
Method Steps to Take
Last Num-
ber Redial*Press and release the PTT; the radio
sends the last number dialed.
Speed
Dial‡
1. Press and release the pro-
grammed Speed Dial button.
2. Press the numbered keys
(1-9) corresponding to the first
nine phone numbers in the
phone list. Press “0” if you want
the last number dialed.
3. If your radio uses buffered dial,
press and release the PTT.
4. The radio sends out the phone
number.
* The method described is not applicable for radios which
manually send the access code; these radios can access
this number from the phone list or the speed dial.

Sending a New Number (for radios
with keypad only)
You enter the phone number by pressing the
relevant keys on the keypad.
The Phone Conversation
Once the radio has connected to the intended
party, you can begin the conversation. Even
though this is a phone call, your conversation
mimics a radio call (that is, both parties speak in
turn).
NOTE: The radio starts a programmable Time-Out-
Timer the moment both parties stop transmitting
(talking). If the Time-Out-Timer expires, the radio
will end the phone call.
Ending the Phone Call
Just as the radio needs to send the access code
when starting a phone call, the radio needs to
send the deaccess code to end the phone call.
The radio can send the deaccess code in any of
the following ways:
• manual, and
• automatic.
Check with your dealer for details.
Method Steps to Take
Live Dial
Enter the phone number by using the
keypad; the radio sends out the numbers
as the keys are pressed.
Buffered
Dial
1. Enter the phone number by using
the keypad; the radio saves the
selected numbers in a buffer.
2. Press and release the PTT; the
radio sends out the numbers in its
buffer.
1. Press and hold the PTT, while talking into the
microphone.
2. Release the PTT when you finish what you
want to say, and wait for the response.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the conversation
ends.
1. If your radio sends the deaccess code manu-
ally, dial the deaccess code from the keypad.
2. Press the Phone button to exit phone mode.
NOTE: Radios using the automatic method
will send the deaccess code automati-
cally.

SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION
OF MOTOROLA TWO-WAY RADIOS
This document provides information and
instructions for the safe and efficient operation of
Motorola Portable Two-Way Radios.
For information regarding radio use in hazardous
areas, please refer to the Factory Mutual (FM)
approval manual supplement or Instruction Card
which is included with radio models that offer this

Exposure To Radio Frequency Energy
Your Motorola Two-Way Radio, which generates
and radiates radio frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy (EME) is designed to
comply with the following National and
International Standards and Guidelines
regarding exposure of human beings to radio
frequency electromagnetic energy:
• Federal Communications Commission
Report and Order No. FCC 96-326
(August 1996)
• American National Standards Institute
(C95.1 - 1992)
• National Council on Radiation Protection
and Measurements (NCRP-1986)
• International Commission on Non-Ioniz-
ing Radiation Protection (ICNRP- 1986)
•European Committee for Electrotechnical
Standardisation (CENELEC):
To assure optimal radio performance and to
ensure that your exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines
in the above standards, always adhere to the
following procedures:
ENV 50166-1

magnetic fields Low fre-
quency (0 Hz to 10 kHz)
ENV 50166-2
1995 E Human exposure to electro-
magnetic fields High fre-
quency (10 kHz to 300 GHz)
Proceedings of
SC211/B 1996 “Safety Considerations for

Portable Radio Operation
and EME Exposure
•When transmitting with a
portable radio, hold radio in a
vertical position with the
microphone 2.5 to 5 centi-
meters (one or two inches)
away from the mouth. Keep antenna at
least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from your
head or body when transmitting.
• If you wear a portable Two-Way radio on
your body, ensure that the antenna is at
least 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from the
body when transmitting.
Electromagnetic
Interference/Compatibility
Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible
to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inad-
equately shielded, designed or otherwise
configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
• To avoid electromagnetic interference
and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your
radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospital or health
facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
• When instructed to do so, turn off your
radio when on board an aircraft. Any use
of a radio must be in accordance with air-
line regulations or crew instructions.
Operational Warnings
Vehicles with an air bag
• Do not place a portable radio
in the area over an airbag or in the air
bag deployment area. Air bags inflate
with great force. If a portable radio is
placed in the air bag deployment area
and the air bag inflates, the radio may be
propelled with great force and cause seri-
ous injury to occupants of vehicle.

Potentially explosive atmospheres
• Turn off your Two-Way radio when you
are in any area with a potentially explo-
sive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas
(e.g. FM or Cenelec approved). Sparks in
a potentially explosive atmosphere can
cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Batteries
• Do not replace or recharge batteries in a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Con-
tact sparking may occur while installing or
removing batteries and cause an explo-
sion.
Blasting caps and areas
• To avoid possible interference with blast-
ing operations, turn off your radio when
you are near electrical blasting caps. In a
“
blasting area
” or in areas posted “
turn off
two-way radio
”, obey all signs and
instructions.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive atmo-
spheres referred to above include fuelling
areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities; areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust or metal powders; and
any other area where you would normally be
advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres are
often but not always posted.
Operational Cautions
Damaged antennas
• Do not use any portable two-
way radio that has a damaged antenna. If
a damaged antenna comes into contact
with your skin, a minor burn can result.
Batteries
• All batteries can cause property damage
and/or bodily injury such as burns if a
conductive material such as jewellery,
keys or beaded chains touch exposed
terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short cir-
cuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care
in handling any charged battery, particu-
larly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse or other container with metal
objects.
