Handling PrecautionsThe MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meetsIP57 specifications, allowing the radio to withstandadverse field conditions such as being submersed inwater.• If the radio has been submersed in water, shakethe radio well to remove any water that may betrapped inside the speaker grille and microphoneport. Trapped water could cause decreased audioperformance.• If the radio’s battery contact area has beenexposed to water, clean and dry battery contactson both the radio and the battery before attachingthe battery to the radio. The residual water couldshort-circuit the radio.• If the radio has been submersed in a corrosivesubstance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio andbattery in fresh water then dry the radio andbattery.• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use adiluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent andfresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to onegallon of water).• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radiochassis below the battery contact. This vent allowsfor pressure equalization in the radio. Doing somay create a leak path into the radio and theradio’s submersibility may be lost.• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with alabel.• Ensure that no oily substances come in contactwith the vent.• The radio with antenna attached properly isdesigned to be submersible to a maximum depthof 1 meter (3.28 feet) and a maximum submersiontime of 30 minutes. Exceeding either maximumlimit or use without antenna may result in damageto the radio.• When cleaning the radio, do not use a highpressure jet spray on the radio as this will exceedthe 1 meter depth pressure and may cause waterto leak into the radio.Caution:Do not disassemble the radio. This coulddamage radio seals and result in leak pathsinto the radio. Radio maintenance should onlybe done in service depot that is equipped totest and replace the seal on the radio.Handling Precautions20English

Advanced Features in Connect PlusModeAuto FallbackAuto Fallback is a system feature that allows you tocontinue to make and receive non-emergency callson the selected Group Contact in the event of certaintypes of Connect Plus system failures.If one of these failures occurs, your radio attempts toroam to a different Connect Plus site. This searchprocess may result in your radio finding an operableConnect Plus site, or it may result in your radio findinga “Fallback Channel” (if your radio is enabled for AutoFallback). A Fallback Channel is a repeater that isnormally part of an operable Connect Plus site, but iscurrently unable to communicate with either its sitecontroller or the Connect Plus network. In Fallbackmode, the repeater operates as a single digitalrepeater. Auto Fallback Mode supports non-emergency Group Calls only. No other call types aresupported in Fallback Mode.Indications of Auto Fallback ModeWhen your radio is using a Fallback channel, youhear the intermittent “Fallback Tone” approximatelyonce every 15 seconds (except while transmitting).The display periodically shows a brief message,“Fallback Channel”. Your radio only permits PTT onthe selected Group Contact (Group Call, MultigroupCall, or Site All Call). It does not allow you to makeother types of calls.Making/Receiving Calls in Fallback ModeNote:Calls are heard only by radios that aremonitoring the same Fallback channel andselected to the same Group. Calls are notnetworked to other sites or other repeaters.Emergency voice calls or Emergency Alertsare not available in Fallback mode. If youpress the emergency button in Fallback mode,the radio provides an invalid key press tone.Display-equipped radios also show themessage, “Feature not available”.Private (radio to radio) and Phone calls are notavailable in Fallback mode. If you attempt aAdvanced Features in Connect Plus Mode212English
call to a private contact, you will receive adenial tone. At this point you should select adesired group contact. Other non-supportedcalls include Remote Monitor, Call Alert, RadioCheck, Radio Enable, Radio Disable, Textmessaging, Location Updates, and packetdata calls.Enhanced Traffic Channel Access (ETCA) isnot supported in Auto Fallback mode. If two ormore radio users press PTT at the same time(or at almost the same time), it is possible thatboth radios transmit until PTT is released. Inthis event, it is possible that none of thetransmissions will be understood by receivingradios.Making calls in Fallback mode is similar to normalfunctioning. Simply select the group contact you wishto use (using the radio’s normal channel selectionmethod), and then press the PTT to start your call. Itis possible that the channel may be in use already byanother group. If the channel is in use, you receive abusy tone and the display will say “Channel Busy”.You may select Group, Multi-group or Site All Callcontacts using your radio’s normal channel selectionmethod. While the radio is operating on the FallbackChannel, the Multigroup operates just like otherGroups. It is only heard by radios that are currentlyselected to the same Multi-group.Returning to Normal OperationIf the site returns to normal trunking operation whileyou are in range of your Fallback repeater, your radioautomatically exits Auto Fallback mode. You hear aregistration “beep” when the radio successfullyregisters. If you are in the range of an operable site(that is not in Fallback mode), you may press theRoam Request button (if programmed for your radio)to force your radio to search for and register on anavailable site. If no other site is available, your radioreturns to Auto Fallback mode after searching iscomplete. If you drive out of coverage of yourFallback repeater, your radio enters Search mode(display indicates “Searching”).Radio CheckIf enabled, this feature allows you to determine ifanother radio is active in a system without disturbingthe user of that radio.

In addition, display radiosthat have been enabled for over-the-air file transfercan display the version of a "pending file". A "pendingAdvanced Features in Connect Plus Mode298English
file" is a Frequency File or Option Board firmware filethat the Connect Plus radio knows about via systemmessaging, but the radio has not yet collected all ofthe file’s packets. If a display Connect Plus radio hasa pending file, the menu provides options to:• See the version number of the pending file.• See what percentage of packets has beencollected so far.•Request the Connect Plus radio to resumecollecting file packets.If the radio is enabled for Connect Plus over-the-airfile transfer, there may be times when the radioautomatically joins a file transfer without first notifyingthe radio user. While the radio is collecting filepackets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the radiodisplays the High Volume Data icon on the HomeScreen status bar.Note:The Connect Plus radio cannot collect filepackets and receive calls at the same time. Ifyou wish to cancel the file transfer, press andrelease the PTT button. This causes the radioto request a call on the selected ContactName, and it will also cancel the file transferfor that radio until the process resumes at alater time.There are several things that can make the filetransfer process start again. The first example appliesto all over-the-air file types. The other examples applyonly to the Network Frequency File and Option BoardFirmware File:• The radio system administrator re-initiates theover-the-air file transfer.• The Option Board's pre-defined timer expires,which causes the Option Board to automaticallyresume the process of collecting packets.•The timer has not yet expired, but the radio userrequests the file transfer to resume via the menuoption.After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading allfile packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquiredfile. For the Network Frequency File, this is anautomatic process and does not require a radio reset.For the Option Board Codeplug File, this is anautomatic process that will cause a brief interruptionto service as the Option Board loads the newcodeplug information and re-acquires a network site.How quickly the radio upgrades to a new OptionBoard firmware file depends on how the radio hasAdvanced Features in Connect Plus Mode299English
been configured by the dealer or systemadministrator. The radio will either upgradeimmediately after collecting all file packets, or it willwait until the next time that the user turns the radioon.Note:Check with your dealer or systemadministrator to determine how your radio hasbeen programmed.The process of upgrading to a new Option Boardfirmware file takes several seconds, and it requiresthe Connect Plus Option Board to reset the radio.Once the upgrade starts, the radio use will not beable to make or receive calls until the process iscompleted.Firmware FileFirmware Up to DateNote:If the Option Board firmware file is not Up toDate (and if the radio has partially collected amore recent Option Board firmware fileversion) the radio displays a list with additionaloptions; Version, %Received, and Download.1 to access the menu.2 or to Utilities and press to select.3 or to Radio Info and press toselect.4 or to Updates and press to select.5 or to Firmware and press to select.The display shows Firmware is Up to Date.Pending Firmware – Version1 to access the menu.2 or to Utilities and press to select.Advanced Features in Connect Plus Mode300English
