Safety and General Information

Operational Warnings

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.

Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas

To 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.

Safety and General Information

Operational Cautions

Antennas

Do 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.

Batteries

All 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.

Safety and General Information

Intrinsically Safe Radio Information

FMRC Approved Equipment

Anyone 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.

Safety and General Information

Radios 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.

Safety and General Information

Repair of FMRC Approved Products

REPAIRS 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.

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

Common Radio Features

Scan

The scan feature allows you to monitor trafﬁc on different channels by

scanning a preprogrammed list of channels. Your radio can have up to

20 different scan lists. These lists must be preprogrammed by a

qualiﬁed radio technician.

• To view your radio’s scan lists, see “View a List” on page 40.

• To change your radio’s scan lists, see “Edit a Scan List” on

page 46.

Types of Scan Lists

Three types of scan lists are available:

Types of Scanning

There are several types of scanning available:

Trunking

Priority Monitor Comprises channels that are all from the same

trunking system (10 different channels maximum).

Conventional Comprises only conventional channels (15

different channels maximum).

Talkgroup Scan Comprises conventional and trunked channels

from one trunking system (10 different channels

maximum). Priority operation is not available in

this type of list.

Priority-One Scanning

SOne member of the scan list is chosen as

the priority-one member. You hear all of the

trafﬁc on the priority-one channel, even if

the non-priority channels in the scan list

have trafﬁc on them.

Priority-Two Scanning

and

Non-Priority Scanning

In addition to the priority-one channel, a

second channel can be assigned as a

priority-two channel. The remaining

members in the scan list can be programmed

as non-priority members of the scan list.

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 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.

Special Radio Features

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.

Reprogram Request

This feature lets you notify the dispatcher that you want a new

dynamic regrouping assignment.

Use the Menu

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;

release it to listen.

When the dispatcher cancels

dynamic regrouping, the radio

automatically returns to the

zone and channel that you

were using before the radio

was dynamically regrouped.

categories: select enabled or select disabled.

• Select-enabled radios are free to change to any available channel,

including the dynamic-regrouping channel, once the user has

selected the dynamic-regrouping position.

• Select-disabled radios cannot change channels while dynamically

regrouped. The dispatcher has forced the radio to remain on the

dynamic-regrouping channel.

Failsoft

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during

a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the

radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its

failsoft channel.

During failsoft operation:

When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio

automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked

operation.

Out-of-Range

If you go out of the range of the system and can no longer lock onto a

Helpful Tips

Radio Care

Things 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.

Helpful Tips

Cleaning

To 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.

Helpful Tips

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

95C08-O_XTS5k_800MHz_Mdl3.book Page 90 Monday, August 27, 2001 9:09 AM

ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 91

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.

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

Gauge shows if the battery’s charge is

b71% to 100% full

j41% to 70%

k11% to 40%

l10% or less (at 10%, the gauge begins ﬂashing)
