Handling PrecautionsEnglishviiiHandling PrecautionsThe MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP67 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand adverse field conditions such as being submersed in water.•If the radio has been submersed in water, shake the radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped water could cause decreased audio performance.•If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to water, clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio and the battery before attaching the battery to the radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.•If the radio has been submersed in a corrosive substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery in fresh water then dry the radio and battery.•To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).•Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak path into the radio and the radio’s submersibility may be lost.•Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label. •Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent.•The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 meter (3.28 feet) and a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes. Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna may result in damage to the radio.•When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet spray on the radio as this will exceed the 1 meter depth pressure and may cause water to leak into the radio. Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Radio maintenance should only be done in service depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal on the radio.

Identifying Radio ControlsEnglish12Push-To-Talk (PTT) ButtonThe 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 24).Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone or the PTT Sidetone 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 a continuous talk prohibit tone, if your call is interrupted, indicating that you should release the PTT button, for example when the radio receives an Emergency Call.31PTT Button
Identifying Radio ControlsEnglish13Switching Between Conventional Analog and Digital ModeEach channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional 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 31).IP Site ConnectThis feature allows your radio to extend conventional communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus.When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. It then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam enabled, not both at the same time.Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the Members roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.31Channel Selector Knob

A Software License Key sold separately is required to use this feature. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.Capacity PlusCapacity Plus is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254 Groups. This feature allows your radio to efficiently utilize the available number of programmed channels while in Repeater Mode.You can only access channel(s) with Capacity Plus via the Channel Selector Knob, while features supported in Capacity Plus can be accessed via a programmable button press.You will hear a negative indicator tone if you access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a programmable button press.Your radio also has features that are available in both conventional digital mode and Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.A Software License Key sold separately is required to use this feature.Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information on this system.
Identifying Radio ControlsEnglish15Linked Capacity PlusLinked Capacity Plus is a multi-site multi-channel trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combining the best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect configurations.Linked Capacity Plus allows your radio to extend trunking communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected via an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It also provides an increase in capacity by efficiently utilizing the combined available number of programmed channels supported by each of the available sites. When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. It then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.Any channel with Linked Capacity Plus enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches these channels during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.Similar to Capacity Plus, icons of features not applicable to Linked Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. You hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not applicable to Linked Capacity Plus via a programmable button press. A Software License Key sold separately is required to use this featureCheck with your dealer or system administrator for more information on this configuration.
