Charging the Battery

Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or

Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery. To avoid damage and comply with

warranty terms, charge the battery using a Motorola charger

exactly as described in the charger user guide.

Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best

performance.

IMPORTANT:ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with the

IMPRES charger. Using a conventional charger

causes irrecoverable loss of IMPRES battery

data. As a result, the battery functions as a

non-IMPRES battery and cannot display the

data on your radio. Additionally, it voids your

IMPRES battery warranty, although the

standard battery warranty still applies.

Attaching the Battery

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

The PTT button on the side of

the radio serves two basic

purposes:

•While a call is in progress,

the PTT button allows the

radio to transmit to other

radios in the call.

Press and hold down PTT

button to talk. Release the

PTT button to listen.

The microphone is activated

when the PTT button is

pressed.

•While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 12).

Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone is enabled,

wait until the short alert tone ends before talking.

During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is

enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you

will hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio (the

radio that is receiving your call) releases the PTT button,

indicating the channel is free for you to respond.

You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your

call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an

Emergency Call.

You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone by

disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning Radio

Tones/Alerts On or Off on page 24).

Switching Between Analog and Digital

Mode

Each channel in your radio

can be configured as an

analog channel or a digital

channel. Use the Channel

Selector Knob to switch

between an analog or a digital

channel.

When switching from digital to

analog mode, certain features

are unavailable.

Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital

mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature

works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog

modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on

page 16).

Scan Lists

Scan lists are created and assigned to individual channels/

groups. Your radio scans for voice activity by cycling through the

channel/group sequence specified in the scan list for the current

channel.

Your radio supports up to 32 scan lists, with a maximum of 16

members in a list. Each scan list shall support a mixture of both

analog and digital entries.

Scan

When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the

programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice

activity.

The LED blinks yellow.

During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and

your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically

switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of

the call. This is also true for the reverse.

There are two types of scans:

•Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the

channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your

radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start

on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel

where scan was initiated.

•Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts

scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto

Scan enabled.

Privacy

If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by

unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a software-

based scrambling solution. The signaling and user identification

portions of a transmission are not scrambled.

Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel to

send a privacy-enabled transmission, although this is not a

necessary requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a

privacy-enabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear

(unscrambled) transmissions.

To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your

radio must have the same Privacy Key (programmed by your

dealer) as the transmitting radio. If your radio receives a

scrambled call that is of a different Privacy Key, you will hear a

garbled transmission.

The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and

blinks green rapidly when the radio is receiving an ongoing

privacy-enabled transmission.

NOTE: Some radio models may not offer this Privacy feature.
