two basic purposes:
A
— 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

Tone On or Off on page 133) 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.

To switch to a non-Connect Plus mode, you must
change to another zone, if programmed by your
dealer or system administrator. Check with your
dealer or system administrator to see if your radio has
been programmed with non-Connect Plus zones, and
what features are available while operating in non-
Connect Plus zones.
IP Site Connect
This 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.
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 roam list during the automatic roam operation
to locate the best site.
A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels
(including the Selected Channel).
Note: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to
the roam list. Check with your dealer or system
administrator for more information.
Capacity Plus
Capacity 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 hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access
a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a
programmable button press.
Your radio also has features that are available in
conventional digital mode, IP Site Connect, Capacity
Plus and Linked Capacity Plus. However, the minor
differences in the way each feature works does NOT
affect the performance of your radio.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information on this configuration.
Linked Capacity Plus
Linked 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

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.

transmission. While on a privacy-enabled channel,
the radio is still able to receive clear (unscrambled)
transmissions.
Your radio supports two types of privacy:
— Basic Privacy
— Enhanced Privacy.
Only ONE of the privacy types above can be
assigned to the radio.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data
transmission, your radio must be programmed to
have the same Privacy Key (for Basic Privacy), OR
the same Key Value and Key ID (for Enhanced
Privacy) as the transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a
different Privacy Key, OR a different Key Value and
Key ID, you will either hear a garbled transmission
(Basic Privacy) or nothing at all (Enhanced Privacy).
If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the Home

Advanced Features in Connect Plus
Mode
Auto Fallback
Auto Fallback is a system feature that allows you to
continue to make and receive non-emergency calls
on the selected Group Contact in the event of certain
types of Connect Plus system failures.
If one of these failures occurs, your radio attempts to
roam to a different Connect Plus site. This search
process may result in your radio finding an operable
Connect Plus site, or it may result in your radio finding
a “Fallback Channel” (if your radio is enabled for Auto
Fallback). A Fallback Channel is a repeater that is
normally part of an operable Connect Plus site, but is
currently unable to communicate with either its site
controller or the Connect Plus network. In Fallback
mode, the repeater operates as a “stand-alone” digital
repeater. Auto Fallback Mode supports non-
emergency Group Calls only. No other call types are
supported in Fallback Mode.
Indications of Auto Fallback Mode
When your radio is using a Fallback channel, you
hear the intermittent “Fallback Tone” approximately
once every 15 seconds (except while transmitting).
The display periodically shows a brief message,
“Fallback Channel”. Your radio only permits PTT on
the selected Group Contact (Group Call, Multigroup
Call, or Site All Call). It does not allow you to make
other types of calls.
Making/Receiving Calls in Fallback Mode
Note:
Calls are heard only by radios that are monitoring the
same Fallback channel and selected to the same
Group. Calls are not networked to other sites or other
repeaters.
Emergency voice calls or Emergency Alerts are not
available in Fallback mode. If you press the
emergency button in Fallback mode, the radio
provides an invalid key press tone. Display-equipped
radios also show the message, “Feature not
available”.
Private (radio to radio) calls are not available in
Fallback mode. If you attempt a call to a private
contact, you will receive a denial tone. At this point
Advanced Features in Connect Plus...
170
English
you should select a desired group contact. Other non-
supported calls include Remote Monitor, Call Alert,
Radio Check, Radio Enable, Radio Disable, Text
messaging, Location Updates, and packet data calls.
Enhanced Traffic Channel Access (ETCA) is not
supported in Auto Fallback mode. If two or more radio
users press PTT at the same time (or at almost the
same time), it is possible that both radios transmit
until PTT is released. In this event, it is possible that
none of the transmissions will be understood by
receiving radios.
Making calls in Fallback mode is similar to normal
functioning. Simply select the group contact you wish
to use (using the radio’s normal channel selection
method), and then press the PTT to start your call. It
is possible that the channel may be in use already by
another group. If the channel is in use, you receive a
busy tone and the display will say “Channel Busy”.
You may select Group, Multi-group or Site All Call
contacts using your radio’s normal channel selection
method. While the radio is operating on the Fallback
Channel, the Multigroup operates just like other
Groups. It is only heard by radios that are currently
selected to the same Multi-group. Enhanced Privacy
is supported in Fallback mode.
Returning to Normal Operation
If the site returns to normal trunking operation while
you are in range of your Fallback repeater, your radio
automatically exits Auto Fallback mode. You hear a
registration “beep” when the radio successfully
registers. If you are in the range of an operable site
(that is not in Fallback mode), you may press the
Roam Request button (if programmed for your radio)
to force your radio to search for and register on an
available site. If no other site is available, your radio
returns to Auto Fallback mode after searching is
complete. If you drive out of coverage of your
Fallback repeater, your radio enters Search mode
(display indicates “Searching”).
Radio Check
If enabled, this feature allows you to determine if
another radio is active in a system without disturbing
the user of that radio. No audible or visual notification

Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group
where activity is detected. The radio stays on that
channel for a programmed time period known as
“hang time”.
1Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
2Press the PTT button during hang time.
The LED lights up solid green.
3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled),
and speak clearly into the microphone.
4Release the PTT button to listen.
If you do not respond within the hang time, the
radio returns to scanning other groups.
User Configurable Scan
If the Edit List menu is enabled, a user is able to Add
and Remove the scan members from the Add
Member menu. A Scan List member must be a
regular Group Contact (i.e. not Multi-group or Site All
Call/Network Wide All Call) that is currently assigned
to a Channel Selector position in a Connect Plus
Zone with the same Network ID as the currently
selected Zone. The Talkgroup's Alias must also not
match any Talkgroup that is already included in the
current Zone's Scan List.
Advanced Features in Connect Plus...
174
English
Scan can be turned on or off from the menu or by
pressing a programmed Scan On/Off button.
This feature functions only when the radio is not
currently involved in a call. If you are presently
listening to a call, your radio cannot scan for other
group calls, and is therefore unaware they are in
progress. Once your call is finished, your radio
returns to the control channel time slot and is able to
scan for groups that are in the scan list.
Turning Scan On or Off
Note: This procedure turns the Scan feature On or
Off for all zones with the same Network ID as your
currently selected zone. It is important to note that
even when the Scan feature is turned on via this
procedure, scan may still be disabled for some (or all)
groups on your scan list. See the next section for
more information.
If Scan is turned on, the Scan icon appears on your
display. When Scan is on and you are not
participating in a call, the LED blinks green and
yellow.
The procedure for turning Scan on or off depends on
how your radio is programmed. If programmed with a
Scan On/Off button, use the button to toggle the
feature on or off. If your radio has been programmed
so that Scan can be turned on or off via the menu,
follow the procedure described next.

2 or to Scan and press to select.
3 or to Turn On or Turn Off and press
to select.
—The display shows Scan On momentarily if
scan is disabled.
—The display shows Scan Off momentarily if
scan is enabled.
Editing the Scan List
Note: If the scan list entry happens to be the radio’s
currently selected group, the radio listens for activity
on this group regardless of whether the list entry
currently shows a check mark or not. Whenever a
radio is not in a call, the radio listens for activity on its
Selected Group, Multigroup, the Site All Call, and its
Default Emergency Revert Group (if configured for
one). This operation cannot be disabled.
Advanced Features in Connect Plus...
175
English
Your scan list determines which groups can be
scanned. The list is created when your radio is
programmed. If your radio has been programmed to
allow you to edit the scan list, you can selectively
enable/disable scan for individual groups on the list.
However, you cannot delete groups from the list or
add groups to the list. This can only be done through
radio programming.

If a check mark precedes the Group name, then
scan is currently enabled for this Group.

name, then scan is currently disabled for this
Group.

The display shows Enable if scan is currently
disabled for the Group.
The display shows Disable if scan is currently
enabled for the Group.
5Select the displayed option (Enable or Disable)
and press to select.
Depending on which option was selected, the
radio momentarily displays Scan Enabled or Scan
Disabled as confirmation.
The radio displays the Zone scan list again. If scan
was enabled for the Group, the check mark displays
before the Group name. If scan was disabled for the
Group, the check mark is removed before the Group
name.
Understanding Scan Operation
Note: If you scan into a call for a group that is not
assigned to a channel position in your currently
selected zone and you miss the call’s Hang Time, you
have to switch to the proper zone and then select the
group’s channel position to talk back to that group.
There are some circumstances in which you can miss
calls for groups that are in your scan list. When you
miss a call for one of the following reasons, this does
not indicate a problem with your radio. This is a
normal scan operation for Connect Plus.

you use to initiate a call.
Each zone provides a Contact List with up to 100
contacts. The following contact types are available:
— Private Call
— Group Call
— Multigroup Call
— All Call Voice

programmed Emergency mode may also be initiated
by triggering the optional Man Down feature. The
Emergency feature may be disabled in your radio.
Your dealer can set the duration of a button press for
the programmed Emergency button, except for long
press, which is similar with all other buttons:
— Short press – Between 0.05 seconds and 0.75
seconds.
— Long press – Between 1.00 second and 3.75
seconds.
The Emergency button is assigned with the
Emergency On/Off feature. Check with your dealer for

it supports three Emergency modes:
—Emergency Call – You must press the PTT button
to talk on the assigned emergency time slot.
—Emergency Call with Voice to Follow – For the

slot, the microphone is automatically unmuted and
you may talk without pressing the PTT button. The
microphone stays “hot” in this fashion for a time
period programmed into the radio. For subsequent

transmissions in the same Emergency call, you
must press the PTT button.
—Emergency Alert – An Emergency Alert is not a
voice call. It is an emergency notification that is
sent to radios that are configured to receive these
alerts. The radio sends an emergency alert via the
control channel of the currently registered site.
The Emergency Alert is received by radios in the
Connect Plus network that are programmed to
receive them (no matter which network site they
are registered to).
Only ONE of the Emergency Modes can be assigned
to the Emergency button per zone. In addition, each
Emergency mode has the following types:
— Regular – Radio initiates an Emergency and
shows audio and/or visual indicators.
— Silent – Radio initiates an Emergency without any
audio or visual indicators. The radio will suppress
all audio or visual indications of the Emergency
until you press the PTT button to start a voice
transmission.
— Silent with Voice – The same as Silent operation,
except that the radio will also unmute for some
voice transmissions.
Receiving an Incoming Emergency
Your radio may be programmed to sound an alert
tone and also display information about the incoming
Emergency. If so programmed, upon receiving the
incoming Emergency, the display shows the
Emergency Details screen with the emergency icon,
the Alias or ID of the radio that requested the
Emergency, the Group Contact being used for the
Emergency, and one additional line of information.
The additional information is the name of the zone
that contains the Group Contact.
At the present time, the radio displays only the most
recently decoded Emergency. If a new Emergency is
received before the prior Emergency is cleared, the
details for the new Emergency replace the details of
the previous Emergency.
Depending on how your radio has been programmed,
the Emergency Details screen (or Alarm List screen)
will stay on your radio’s display even after the
Emergency ends. You can save the emergency
details to the Alarm List, or you can delete the
emergency details as described in the following
sections.

Responding to an Emergency Alert
Note: The Group contact used for the Emergency
Alert should not be used for voice communication.
This could prevent other radios from sending and
receiving Emergency Alerts on the same group.
An Emergency Alert from a radio indicates that the
user is in an urgent situation. You may respond to the
alert by initiating a private call to the radio who
declared the emergency, initiating a group call to a
designated talk group, sending the radio a Call Alert,
initiating a Remote Monitor of that radio, etc. The
proper response is determined by your organization
and the individual situation.
Initiating an Emergency Call
Note:
If your radio is set to Silent, it does not display any
audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode
until you press the PTT button to initiate a voice
transmission.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it does not
initially display any audio or visual indicators that the
radio is in Emergency mode. However, your radio un-
mutes for the transmissions of radios responding to
your emergency. The emergency indicators only
appear once you press the PTT button to initiate a
voice transmission from your radio.
For both “Silent” and “Silent with Voice” operation, the
radio automatically exits silent operation after the
Emergency Call is finished.

Emergency call continues.
Initiating an Emergency Call with Voice to Follow
Your radio must be programmed for this type of
operation.
When enabled for this operation, when you press the
programmed Emergency button, and when your
radio receives the time slot assignment, the
microphone is automatically activated without
pressing the PTT button. This activated microphone
state is also known as “hot mic”. The “hot mic” applies
to the first voice transmission from your radio during
the Emergency call. For subsequent transmissions in
the same Emergency call, you must press the PTT
button.
1Press the programmed Emergency button.
2Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
3The microphone remains active for the “hot mic”
time specified in your radio's codeplug
programming.
During this time, the LED lights up green.
4Press and hold the PTT button to talk longer than
the programmed duration.
Initiating an Emergency Alert
Note: If your radio is programmed for “Silent” or
“Silent with Voice”, it will not provide any audio or
visual indications that it is sending an Emergency
Alert. If programmed for “Silent”, the silent operation
continues indefinitely until you press PTT or the
button configured for “Emergency Off”. If programmed
for “Silent with Voice”, the radio automatically cancels
silent operation when the site controller broadcasts
the Emergency Alert.
Press the orange Emergency button.
Upon transmitting the Emergency Alert to the site

Once the Emergency Alert is successfully sent
and is being broadcast for other radios to hear, a
positive indicator tone sounds and the radio’s
display shows Alarm Sent. If the Emergency Alert
is unsuccessful, a negative indicator tone sounds
and the radio displays Alarm Failed.
Exiting Emergency Mode
Note: If the Emergency call ends due to the
expiration of the Emergency Hang Time, but the
emergency condition is not over, press the
Emergency button again to restart the process.
If you initiate an Emergency Alert by pressing the
programmed Emergency button, your radio
automatically exits Emergency mode after receiving a
response from the Connect Plus system.
If you initiate an Emergency call by pressing the
programmed Emergency button, your radio will be
assigned a channel automatically when one becomes
available. Once your radio has transmitted a
message indicating the emergency, you cannot
cancel your Emergency call. However, if you pressed
the button by accident or the emergency no longer
exists, you may wish to say this over the assigned
channel. When you release the PTT button, the
Emergency call is discontinued after the Emergency
Call Hang Time expires.
If your radio was configured for Emergency with Voice
to Follow, use the “hot mic” period to explain your
error, then press and release the PTT button to
discontinue the transmission. The Emergency call is
discontinued after the Emergency Call Hang Time
expires.

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 current
channel selector position to send a privacy-enabled
transmission, although this is not a necessary
requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a
privacy-enabled channel selector position, the radio is
still able to receive clear (unscrambled)
transmissions.
Your radio supports Enhanced Privacy.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call transmission,
your radio must be programmed to have the same
Key Value and Key ID (for Enhanced Privacy) as the
transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a
different Key Value and Key ID, you hear nothing at
all (Enhanced Privacy).
If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the Home
screen shows the Secure or Unsecure icon, except
when the radio is sending or receiving an Emergency
call or alarm.
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.
You can access this feature by
— Pressing the programmed Privacy button to
toggle privacy on or off.
— Using the Radio Menu as described by the steps
described next.
Note: Some radio models may not offer this Privacy
feature. Check with your dealer or system

If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the
secure or unsecure icon appears on the status

Making a Privacy-Enabled (Scrambled) Call
Toggle privacy on using the programmed privacy
button or by using the menu. Your radio must have
the Privacy feature enabled for the currently selected
channel position to send a privacy-enabled
transmission. When privacy is enabled for the
currently selected channel position, all voice
transmissions made by your radio will be scrambled.
This includes Group Call, Multigroup Call, talk-back
during scanned calls, Site All Call, Emergency Call,
and Private Call. Only receiving radios with the same
Key Value and Key ID as your radio will be able to
unscramble the transmission.
Security
You can enable or disable any radio in the system.

Checking for Updates
Connect Plus provides the ability to update certain
files (Option Board Codeplug, Network Frequency
File and Option Board Firmware File) over-the-air.
Note: Check with the dealer or network administrator
to determine whether this feature has been enabled
for your radio.
Any display Connect Plus radio has the ability to
show its current Option Board OTA Codeplug CRC,
Frequency File version or Option Board firmware file
version via a menu option. In addition, display radios
that have been enabled for over-the-air file transfer
can display the version of a "pending file". A "pending
file" is a Frequency File or Option Board firmware file
that the Connect Plus radio knows about via system
messaging, but the radio has not yet collected all of
the file’s packets. If a display Connect Plus radio has
a pending file, the menu provides options to:
— See the version number of the pending file
— See what percentage of packets has been
collected so far
— Request the Connect Plus radio to resume
collecting file packets
If the radio is enabled for Connect Plus over-the-air
file transfer, there may be times when the radio
automatically joins a file transfer without first notifying
the radio user. While the radio is collecting file
packets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the radio
displays the High Volume Data icon on the Home
Screen status bar.
Note: The Connect Plus radio cannot collect file
packets and receive calls at the same time. If you
wish to cancel the file transfer, press and release the
PTT button. This causes the radio to request a call on
the selected Contact Name, and it will also cancel the
file transfer for that radio until the process resumes at
a later time.
There are several things that can make the file
transfer process start again. The first example applies
to all over-the-air file types. The other examples apply
only to the Network Frequency File and Option Board
Firmware File:
— The radio system administrator re-initiates the
over-the-air file transfer.
Advanced Features in Connect Plus...
239
English
— The Option Board's pre-defined timer expires,
which causes the Option Board to automatically
resume the process of collecting packets.
— The timer has not yet expired, but the radio user
requests the file transfer to resume via the menu
option.
After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading all
file packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquired
file. For the Network Frequency File, this is an
automatic process and does not require a radio reset.
For the Option Board Codeplug File, this is an
automatic process that will cause a brief interruption
to service as the Option Board loads the new
codeplug information and re-acquires a network site.
How quickly the radio upgrades to a new Option
Board firmware file depends on how the radio has
been configured by the dealer or system
administrator. The radio will either upgrade
immediately after collecting all file packets, or it will
wait until the next time that the user turns the radio
on.
Note: Check with your dealer or system administrator
to determine how your radio has been programmed.
The process of upgrading to a new Option Board
firmware file takes several seconds, and it requires
the Connect Plus Option Board to reset the radio.
Once the upgrade starts, the radio use will not be
able to make or receive calls until the process is
completed.
Firmware File
