English 11RADIO OVERVIEWThe Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) BatteryDLR Series comes with a Standard Capacity Li-Ion battery. Other batteries may be available. For more information, see “Battery Features” on page 12.DLR Series Radio SpecificationsThe radio’s model is shown on the back of the radio and provides the following information: Table 1: DLR Series Radio SpecificationsModel Frequency BandTransmit Power (Watts)Number of Channels AntennaDLR1020 ISM 900 MHz 1 2 Non-removableDLR1060 ISM 900 MHz 1 6 Non-removable

English 12RADIO OVERVIEWBATTERY FEATURESDLR Series radios provide standard Lithium-Ion batteries.Note: Batteries with different capacities and operational life may be available in future.About the Li-Ion BatteryThe DLR Series radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be fully charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance. 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, lasts 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, lasts even longer.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. 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.

English 13RADIO OVERVIEWBattery Recycling and DisposalLi-Ion 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, 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 Li-Ion batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for Li-Ion battery collection and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web site at:www.rbrc.com or call: 1-800-8-BATTERYThis internet site and telephone number also provides other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses and governmental agencies.

Users also have the option to assign the Direct Call feature to any radio channel instead of the Top Button. This allows the radio Top Button to be available for other radio features (e.g.: Private Reply or Mute) and Direct Call to be set up in a special channel. (You can set up different direct calls in different channels).Note: In order to set up the Direct Call function for the first time in your radio, (either Top Button or to a specific channel ) you need to use the CPS (Customer Programming Software) which is available for free download at www.motorolasolutions.com/DLR. Once in the CPS, you must read and upload the radio IDs (identified in CPS as “privates”) into the CPS in order to enable Direct Call and assign direct calls to specific radios. Refer to “Customer Programming Software (CPS)” on page 83 for more information.Application ExampleSet up your employees to be able to contact directly and privately their supervisor, the Manager on Duty or to reach a designated person for special requests by simply pressing the Direct Call button (Top Button) and then pushing the PTT button to talk.Note: If the Direct Call is set up in a specific channel, change to that channel and press the PTT button to talk privately.How Direct Call Works1. User A presses the radio Top Button in order to talk directly to User B. User A radio plays voice prompt “Private <Name>” as programmed in CPS (if enabled) and the Top Button LED indicator starts blinking orange, indicating that User A is in queue waiting to talk privately to User B.

English 61SPECIAL RADIO CALL FEATURESPrivate Reply and Direct Call Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)1. If I change my mind and want to exit the request for Private Call (or I pressed the top button by mistake), how do I get out of the “private queue” status (Radio Top Button LED indicator is blinking orange)?Long press the Top Button. The radio exits the private queue request and the Top Button LED indicator turns off, returning you to radio normal status.2. What happens if two people (for example user A and C) press their Top Button at the same time to Private Reply or Direct Call User B?Pressing the top button only queues the radio B ID; therefore, there is no issue if two people press the Top Button at the same time. The issue occurs when these two people press the PTT button at the same time to talk privately to B. Then, whoever presses the PTT button faster gets to talk privately to B. The other user hears a “busy” or rejection tone.3. What happens if a person Private Reply or Direct Call User B, but User B does not want to engage in the Private conversation?The nature of the radio communication is to allow instant communication without the option to decline radio calls. Therefore, if you are concerned about users disrupting group communications or misusing the Private Reply or Direct Call features, make sure these features are enabled only on authorized radio users.4. I pressed the Private Reply button but nothing happened (e.g. Top Button LED indicator did not start blinking) and instead the radio gives out a busy tone.It can be due to different causes such as the Top Button is disabled or the radio could not store the radio ID you wanted to reply to (this is

English 62SPECIAL RADIO CALL FEATURESif the Top Button was pressed outside the 4 seconds Group Hang Time).5. What happens if I want to Private Reply to a person that just finished talking?The radios allows for “Group Hang Time” (around 4 seconds) for you to be able to Private Reply to someone who had just finished talking. Just push the Top Button within the hang time window and the radio Top Button LED indicator starts blinking orange. You can then press the PTT button to talk privately.6. How exactly does Private Reply work?When you press the radio Top button while User B is talking, your radio “captures” the ID of radio B. Once user B finished talking and you press the PTT button, your radio calls radio B privately. 7. What happens if I want to end the call during a Private Call or Direct Call conversation?If you are the user who initiated the Private Reply or Direct Call, you can end the call by long pressing the Top Button. However, if you are the call receiver, you will have to wait for the radio to time out (i.e. no communications detected for more than 7 seconds) OR change the channel. 8. I pressed the Top Button to queue to talk privately to the last person transmitting, but when the user finished talking and I push the PTT button to talk, the radio gave me a busy tone or other strange tones and I could not initiate my conversation.It is very likely there are other users who were waiting as well to talk to the last person transmitting and someone else pressed the PTT button before you, giving you a busy or error tone. Another reason is that the last person transmitting has gone out of tranmission range. 9. If I press the Top Button (either for Private Reply or Direct Call) and I forgot that I wanted to talk privately and I did not push the PTT button:

English 63SPECIAL RADIO CALL FEATURES– Would I be still able hear the group conversations in my channel if I don’t press the PTT button?Yes, you should be able to still hear conversations in your channel.– How long do I have to talk privately to User B?There is no time restriction on how long you can take to press the PTT button to talk privately to user A, as long as your Top Button LED indicator is blinking.– Does the radio gives me any alert to know that I am in still in the private queue mode?Yes. While waiting in queue to talk privately, you will receive a call reminder tone after 1 minute of being in queue, followed by another reminder tone 4 minutes after that. No other reminder will be heard afterwards, but you will remain in queue until Private Reply mode is exited.– How do I respond to group conversation if I have already pushed the Top Button (for either Private Reply or Direct Call) and my Top button LED indicator is blinking?Long Press the Top Button to exit the private queue mode (Top Button LED indicator should turn off) and press the PTT button to reply back to the group call.10. What happens if I am in queue to talk privately (LED indicator blinking orange), then the person that was transmitting finished talking and I press the PTT button to talk but the Top Button LED indicator does not change to solid orange?The radio lets you know you are ready for a private communication by turning the Top Button LED indicator to solid orange and playing the voice prompt “private” in the beginning. During the private conversation it also plays a distinctive Talk Permit Tone. All these different prompts from the radio need to happen to ensure there is a private communication established. If you do not have these prompts, it means you do not have private communication established and you need to try again.

English 64SPECIAL RADIO CALL FEATURES11. How do I know when the radio is no longer in Private Mode conversation?You are no longer in a private conversation if the Top Button LED indicator is not illuminating solid orange and is either blinking or switched off instead. Furthermore, the radio plays the voice prompt: “Private Over”.Note: Remember that the Private Reply and the Direct Call time out after 7 seconds of inactivity in which both users are sent back to the group call mode (Radio plays the voice prompt “Private Over” and the Top Button LED indicator goes off).CALL ALL AVAILABLENote: This feature is useful for users with more than 1 or 2 channels.Call All Available feature allows the ability to communicate a message to all available radio users at once in a temporary “super channel group”, without having to change through each channel individually.

Whether you are using the PTT button on the radio or using an in-line PTT in an earpiece accessory, always press the PTT button firmly until the transmission is finished. Releasing the PTT button while transmitting and trying to immediately to press the PTT button again causes the radio to give you a loud denial tone.If you press the PTT button to transmit and a busy tone is received instead of a TPT, this means the channel is either not available, busy or there are no users reachable within transmission range.Limited talk rangeSteel and/or concrete structures, heavy foliage, buildings or vehicles decrease range. Check for clear line of sight to improve transmission. Wearing radio close to body such as in a pocket or on a belt decreases range. Change location of radio. To increase range and coverage, you can reduce obstructions. Radios provide greater coverage in industrial and commercial buildings.Refer to “Transmitting and Receiving” on page 27Symptom Try This...
