Safety and General Information
Operational Warnings
WARNING
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air
bag 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 serious
injury to occupants of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio
type especially qualified for use in such areas as
“Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA,
UL, or CENELEC). Do not remove, install, or charge
batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially
explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Note: The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to above include fueling
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.

94C27-O_XTS5000Mdl3.book Page xvi Monday, August 27, 2001 9:23 AM
Safety and General Information
Repair
A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it
back to its original condition—Approved by FMRC. A repair should be done
in an FMRC Approved facility.
Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on
a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a
manner which exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. You do not
have to be an FMRC Approved Repair Facility to perform these actions.
Relabeling
The repair facility shall have a method by which the replacement of FMRC
Approval labels are controlled to ensure that any relabeling is limited to units
that were originally shipped from the Manufacturer with an FM Approval
label in place. FMRC Approval labels shall not be stocked by the repair
facility. An FMRC Approval label shall be ordered from the original
manufacturer, as needed, to repair a specific unit. Replacement labels may
be obtained and applied by the repair facility, provided there is satisfactory
evidence that the unit being relabeled was originally an FMRC Approved
unit. Verification may include, but is not limited to: a unit with a damaged
Approval label, a unit with a defective housing displaying an Approval label,
or a customer invoice indicating the serial number of the unit and purchase
of an FMRC Approved model.
Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories
The Motorola communications equipment certified by Factory Mutual is
tested as a system and consists of the FM Approved portable, FM Approved
battery, and FM Approved accessories or options, or both. This FM
Approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There
must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously
Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit.
Approved configurations are listed in the FM Approval Guide published by
FMRC, or in the product FM Supplement. This FM Supplement is shipped
from the manufacturer with the FM Approved radio and battery combination.
The Approval Guide, or the Approval Standard Class Number 3605
document for repairs and service, can be ordered directly from Factory

Common Radio Features
Smart PTT (Conventional Only)
Smart PTT is a per-channel, programmable feature used in
conventional radio systems to keep radio users from talking over
other radio conversations.
When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you will not be able to
transmit on an active channel. If you try to transmit on an active
smart-PTT channel, you will hear an alert tone, and the transmission
will be inhibited. The LED will also blink red to indicate that the
channel is busy.
Three radio-wide variations of smart PTT are available:
Transmit Inhibit on
Busy Channel with
Carrier
You cannot transmit if any traffic is
detected on the channel.
Transmit Inhibit on
Busy Channel with
Wrong Squelch Code
You cannot transmit on an active channel
with a squelch code or (if secureequipped) encryption key other than your
own. If the PL code is the same as yours,
the transmission will not be prevented.
Quick-Key Override
This feature can work in conjunction with
either of the two above variations. You can
override the transmit-inhibit state by
quick-keying the radio. In other words, two
PTT Button presses within the
preprogrammed time limit.

Dynamic Regrouping (Trunking Only)
The dynamic regrouping feature lets the dispatcher temporarily
reassign selected radios to a single special channel so they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used during
special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio technician. You
will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a
dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
If you try to access a zone or channel that has been reserved by the
dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped mode for other users, you will
hear an invalid tone.
When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically
switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You see the
dynamically regrouped channel’s name, and hear a “gurgle” tone.
Press the PTT button to talk;

Things to Avoid
Caution
• The XTS 5000 radio casting has two vent ports
that allow for pressure equalization in the radio.
Never poke these vents with any objects, such
as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This
could create leak paths into the radio and the
radio’s submergibility will be lost.
• (For XTS 5000 R Radios Only) The XTS 5000
R radio is designed to be submerged to a
maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum
submersion time of 4 hours. Exceeding either
maximum limit may result in damage to the
radio.
• If the radio battery contact area has been
submerged in water, dry and clean the radio
battery contacts before attaching a battery to the
radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit
the radio.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and
microphone port can be removed. Otherwise,
the water will decrease the audio quality of the
radio.
• Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.

Helpful Tips
Cleaning
To clean the external surfaces of your radio:
Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one
gallon of water (0.5% solution).
Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get
entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the radio
thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or
grease.
Caution
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits
may permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent
solution.
Handling
•
Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. Never carry
the radio by the antenna.
•
Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not
submerge the radio unless it is a ruggedized, XTS 5000 R model.
•
Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents or spirits.
•
Do not disassemble the radio.
•
Keep the accessory-connector cover in place until ready to use the
connector. Replace the cover immediately once the accessory has
been disconnected.

Battery
Battery Life
Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical
are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of
discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and
the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last.
For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100%
several times a day, will last fewer cycles than a battery that receives
less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a
battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25%
discharge, will last even longer.
Charging the Battery
Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a
Motorola charger and vice-versa. Charging in non-Motorola
equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty.
Motorola-authorized battery chargers may not charge batteries other
than the ones listed on page 95.
The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature),
whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C]) may
result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery.
Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced
discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio. Motorola
rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to
ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated
above.
Battery Charge Status
Your radio can indicate your battery’s charge status through:
•
LED and sounds
•
conventional and smart fuel gauge symbols on the display
90
94C27-O_XTS5000Mdl3.book Page 91 Monday, August 27, 2001 9:23 AM
Helpful Tips
LED and Sounds
When your battery is low:
•
you see the LED flash red when the PTT button is pressed
•
you hear a low-battery “chirp” (short, high-pitched tone)
Conventional Fuel Gauge Symbol
A flashing fuel gauge symbol (b) is displayed only when the
battery voltage drops to low level. In this case, replace the battery
with a fully charged one.
Smart Fuel Gauge Symbol
Consult the Smart Battery manual. All conditions must be met for a
battery to be classified as a “Smart Battery.” When your radio has a
Smart Battery installed, the fuel gauge symbol is always displayed.
Gauge shows
if the battery’s charge is
71% to 100% full
41% to 70%
11% to 40%
10% or less (at 10%, the gauge begins flashing)
Replace the battery with a fully charged one when the fuel gauge
shows the lowest level.
Battery Recycling and Disposal
Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable batteries can be recycled.
However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under
various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, NiCd
batteries must be recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or
incinerators. Contact your local waste management agency for
specific requirements and information in your area.
Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of NiCd
batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the
