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.

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.

Refer to “Battery Status Information” on page 17 for more information.Note: The four levels available for battery status are : High, Medium, Low and Critical.TRANSMITTING AND RECEIVING • To receive, listen through the speaker.• To respond or to talk, press the PTT (Push to Talk) and WAIT to hear the Talk Permit Tone (TPT) BEFORE you start speaking. Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5cm to 5cm) from mouth when talking. Release the PTT to listen.• The Tx/Rx Indicator blinks slowly RED when on standby. When the radio is transmitting, the Tx/Rx Indicator is solid RED.• When the radio is receiving, the Tx/Rx Indicator LED blinks RED quickly.IMPORTANT:When talking on the radio, make sure not to release the PTT button at any given time. Whether you are transmitting using the PTT button or using an in-line PTT on the earpiece accessory, always ensure the PTT button is pressed firmly until the transmission is finished. Releasing the PTT button while transmitting and trying to immediately press the PTT button again causes the radio to give a loud denial tone. Wait for 2 seconds and press PTT again to continue speaking.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.Talk Permit Tone (TPT)TPT is a quick distinctive double beep tone that sounds after the user presses the PTT button, indicating the channel is free to talk. TPT is useful in ensuring orderly communications by preventing radios from transmitting over ongoing conversations.Always wait to hear the TPT before starting to speak to ensure your words are not cut off.

It can also be disabled. For more details on how to configure the Top Button refer to “Advanced Configuration Mode” on page 33. TALK RANGEFor a group of DLR radios to be able to communicate, they need to be on the same channel and have the same radio PROFILE ID number. All radios come by default programmed to PROFILE ID number “0000”1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is using, depending on radio model.2. PROFILE ID Number: ALL the radios in your fleet (independent of the channels that users are assigned to) should use the SAME PROFILE ID. It is also VERY IMPORTANT TO CUSTOMIZE THE PROFILE ID number in order to avoid interference from other users using the default "0000" number.In order to customize your radio fleet PROFILE ID, choose a 4 digit number and enter it using the radio Advanced Configuration Mode (Turn off the radio, Press the PTT, (+) and Power buttons simultaneously and hold until radio announces "Programming Mode". Follow voice prompts).  For more information, refer to the “Advanced Configuration Mode” on page 33.DLR AND DTR RADIOS COMPATIBILITYDLR and DTR radios are based on the same digital radio technology and can be used in mixed fleets of DLR and DTR radios.

English            56SPECIAL RADIO CALL FEATURESDIRECT CALLThe Direct Call Feature allows a user to call another pre-determined user that has been mapped into the radio Top Button one-on-one privately (this feature needs to be pre-programmed via CPS*). 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.

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.

Extreme operating temperatures may affect battery life. Refer to “About the Li-Ion Battery” on page 12Unable to read the radio (using the CPS)Make sure that one side of the programming cable is connected to the radio and the other side of the programming cable is connected to the USB port. Verify that the switch on the programming cable is set at “Digital” position (or “Flash” position in older version programming cable). Make sure the radio is positioned correctly inside the SUC (radio making proper contact with the charger).Radio generates continuous tone when PTT is pressedRadio does not transmit when it is receiving as receive mode has higher priority than transmit mode. Press the PTT button again when receive mode ends.Refer to “Transmitting and Receiving” on page 27.Radio does not transmit when pressing the radio PTT buttonThe radio does not transmit if there are other users who are using the channel. Try again after making sure nobody else is talking. By default, the PTT button is disabled on the radio whenever there is an earpiece connected to it. Make sure to use the earpiece in-line PTT button to transmit instead.
English            104TROUBLESHOOTINGHearing conversation from other users that are not within your channelIf you hear conversations from other users that don't belong to your radio fleet, it means your radios are set up with the same Profile ID as your neighbors. Very likely both of you have the radios in the default Profile ID Number "0000". Customize your PROFILE ID with a 4 digit number for all your radios. Refer to “PROFILE ID Number” on page 36 for more information.Hearing cracking noises when nobody is talkingSometimes users inadvertently press the radio PTT button against objects while wearing the radio on their belts or pockets. When they do this, the radio starts transmitting and holding the channel therefore generating strange noises. Using earpieces reduce the likelihood of this happening. Make sure everybody in your team is aware of proper operation of the radios.Audio quality not good enoughRadio settings might not be matching up correctly. Double check to make sure they are identical in all radios. Go into Advanced Configuration Mode and adjust the microphone sensitivity gain (MIC Gain).Audio sounds garbled / roboticDigital technology gives you the advantage to experience clear audio up to the edge of the range. However, when maximum transmission range has been reached, audio may sound garbled just before the transmission is lost completely. Make sure you are within transmission range to avoid this problem.Transmit audio is low Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches from mouth when talking. For accessory, hold the accessory microphone 2 to 3 inches from mouth when talking.Symptom Try This...

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...

Lower the volume in your radio. Using earpieces can also help reduce aduio feedback if radios are too close. Message not transmitted or receivedMake sure the PTT button is completely pressed when transmitting. Confirm that the radios have the same settings and PROFILE ID. Make sure radios are in the same channel. Make sure you wait to hear for the Talk Permit Tone before talking. Not doing this will cut out the first few words of the transmission.
