ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III xiSafety and General InformationOperational WarningsFor Vehicles With an Air BagDo 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 AtmospheresTurn 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.Blasting Caps and Blasting AreasTo avoid possible interference with blasting 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.!W A R N I N G!95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page xi Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
xiiSafety and General InformationOperational CautionsAntennasDo not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result.BatteriesAll batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects.!C a u t i o n95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page xii Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III xiiiSafety and General InformationIntrinsically Safe Radio InformationFMRC Approved EquipmentAnyone intending to use a radio in a location where hazardous concentrations of flammable materials exist (hazardous atmosphere) is advised to become familiar with the subject of intrinsic safety and with the National Electric Code NFPA 70 (National Fire Protection Association) Article 500 (hazardous [classified] locations).An Approval Guide, issued by Factory Mutual Research Corporation (FMRC), lists manufacturers and the products approved by FMRC for use in such locations. FMRC has also issued a voluntary approval standard for repair service (“Class Number 3605”).FMRC Approval labels are attached to the radio to identify the unit as being FM Approved for specified hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. Depending on the design of the portable unit, this FM label can be found on the back or the bottom of the radio housing. The FM Approval mark is shown here.FMAPPROVEDMAEPF-24560-O95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page xiii Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
xivSafety and General InformationRadios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and FM Approval labeling. Radios will not be “upgraded” to this capability and labeled in the field.A modification changes the unit’s hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer at one of its FMRC-audited manufacturing facilities.• Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FMRC Approved) for such use. An explosion or fire may result.• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result.• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire.• Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire.• Do not operate an FMRC Approved Product unit in a hazardous location with the accessory contacts exposed. Keep the connector cover in place when accessories are not used.• Turn a radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.• Do not disassemble an FMRC Approved Product unit in any way that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit.!W A R N I N G!95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page xiv Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III xvSafety and General InformationRepair of FMRC Approved ProductsREPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH FMRC APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.You should not repair or relabel any Motorola- manufactured communication equipment bearing the FMRC Approval label (“FMRC Approved Product”) unless you are familiar with the current FMRC Approval standard for repairs and service (“Class Number 3605”).You may want to consider using a repair facility that operates under 3605 repair service approval.FMRC’s Approval Standard Class Number 3605 is subject to change at any time without notice to you, so you may want to obtain a current copy of 3605 from FMRC. Per the December 1994 publication of 3605, some key definitions and service requirements are as follows:• Failure to use an FMRC Approved Product unit with an FMRC Approved battery or FMRC Approved accessories specifically approved for that product may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of an FMRC Approved Product unit will negate the Approval rating of the product.• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any FMRC Approved Product unit could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury or death.!W A R N I N G!!W A R N I N G!95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page xv Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
xviSafety and General InformationRepairA 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.RelabelingThe 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 AccessoriesThe 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 Mutual Research Corporation located in Norwood, Massachusetts.95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page xvi Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM

ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 73Common Radio FeaturesSmart 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 CarrierYou cannot transmit if any traffic is detected on the channel.Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong Squelch CodeYou cannot transmit on an active channel with a squelch code or (if secure-equipped) 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.95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 73 Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM

ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 87Helpful TipsRadio CareThings to Avoid• 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.!C a u t i o n95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 87 Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
88Helpful TipsCleaningTo clean the external surfaces of your radio:1Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).2Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled 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.3Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.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.Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio housing.Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution.!C a u t i o n95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 88 Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM

90Helpful TipsBatteryBattery LifeBattery 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 BatteryMotorola 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 StatusYour radio can indicate your battery’s charge status through:• LED and sounds• conventional and smart fuel gauge symbols on the display95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 90 Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 91Helpful TipsLED and SoundsWhen 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 SymbolA 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 SymbolConsult 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.Replace the battery with a fully charged one when the fuel gauge shows the lowest level.Battery Recycling and DisposalNickel-cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas.

ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 101GlossaryThis is a list of specialized terms used in this manual.ACK Acknowledgment of communication.Active Channel A channel that has traffic on it.Analog Signal An RF signal that has a continuous nature rather than a pulsed or discrete nature. Call Alert Privately page an individual by sending an audible tone. Carrier Squelch Feature that responds to the presence of an RF carrier by opening or unmuting (turning on) a receiver's audio circuit. A squelch circuit silences the radio when no signal is being received so that the user does not have to listen to “noise.” Central Controller A software controlled, computer-driven device that receives and generates data for the trunked radios assigned to it. It monitors and directs the operations of the trunked repeaters.Channel A group of characteristics such as transmit/receive frequency pairs, radio parameters, and encryption encoding.Control Channel In a trunking system, one of the channels that is used to provide a continuous, two-way/data communications path between the central controller and all radios on the system.Conventional Typically refers to radio-to-radio communications, sometimes through a repeater (See Trunking).Cursor A visual tracking marker (a blinking line) that indicates a location on the display.95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 101 Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
102GlossaryDeadlock Displayed by the radio after three failed attempts to unlock the radio.The radio must be powered off and on prior to another attempt.Digital Private Line (DPL)A type of coded squelch using data bursts. Similar to PL except a digital code is used instead of a tone.Digital Signal An RF signal that has a pulsed, or discrete, nature, rather than a continuous nature. Dispatcher An individual who has radio system management duties.Failsoft The failsoft system allows communications to take place even though the central controller has failed. Each trunked repeater in the system will key, and transmit a data word informing every radio that the system has gone into failsoft.FCC Federal Communications Commission.Hang Up Disconnect.Home Display The first display information after the radio completes its self test.LCD Liquid Crystal Display.LED Light-emitting diode.Menu Entry A software-activated feature shown at the bottom of the display — selection of these features is controlled by the D, E, and F buttons.Monitor Check channel activity by pressing the Monitor button. If the channel is clear, you will hear static. If the channel is in use, you will hear conversation. It also serves as a way to check the volume level of the radio, since the radio will “open the squelch” when pressing the monitor button.95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 102 Thursday, August 23, 2001 2:52 PM
