Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets
IP55 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand
adverse field conditions such as being used in rain or
dusty environment.
• If the radio has been exposed to water or rain,
shake the radio well to remove any water that may
be trapped inside the speaker grille, microphone
port and aesthetic cover (if applicable). Trapped
water in speaker grille and microphone port could
cause decreased audio performance. If aesthetic
cover is attached onto radio, trapped water in
aesthetic cover could cause corrosion on the slim
connector interface gold contacts.
• If the radio’s battery contact area has been
exposed to water, clean and dry battery contacts
on both the radio and the battery before attaching
the battery to the radio. The residual water could
short-circuit the radio.
• If the radio has been exposed to a corrosive
substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and
battery in fresh water then dry the radio and
battery.
• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a
diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and
fresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one
gallon of water).
• The radio with antenna attached properly is
designed to be protected against dust and low
pressure jets of water projected with nozzle 6.3
mm diameter at flow rate of 12.5 l/min, with water
pressure at 30 kN/m2 and from a distance of 2.5
meter to 3 meter for at least 3 minutes. Exceeding
either maximum limit or use without antenna may
result in damage to the radio.
• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high
pressure jet spray on the radio as this may cause
water to leak into the radio.
Caution:
Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths
into the radio. Radio maintenance should only
be done in service depot that is equipped to
test and replace the seal on the radio.

Note:
Your radio automatically exits the menu
after a period of inactivity and returns to
your Home screen.
Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of the radio ( ) serves
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 the PTT button to talk. Release the
PTT button to listen.
The microphone is activated when the PTT button
is pressed.
• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is
used to make a new call (see Making a Radio Call
on page 38).
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit
Tone On or Off on page 85) 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
Identifying Radio Controls

![](/img.php?id=2845419&img=bg1d.png)
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.
Switching Between Conventional Analog and
Digital Mode
Each channel in your radio can be configured as a
conventional analog or conventional digital channel.
Use the Channel Selector Knob ( ) to switch
between an analog or a digital channel.
A
When switching from digital to analog mode, certain
features are unavailable. Icons for the digital features
(such as Messages) reflect this change by appearing
‘grayed out’. Disabled features are hidden in the
menu.
Your radio also has features available in both analog
and digital mode. However, the minor differences in
the way each feature works does not affect the
performance of your radio.
Note:
Your radio also switches between digital and
analog modes during a dual mode scan (see
Scan on page 51).

![](/img.php?id=2845419&img=bg1e.png)
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
Identifying Radio Controls

![](/img.php?id=2845419&img=bg1f.png)
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
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.
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.

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.
Advanced Features
68
English
![](/img.php?id=2845419&img=bg4a.png)
Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel
to send a privacy-enabled transmission, although this
is not a necessary requirement for receiving a
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).
Note:
This feature is not applicable in Citizens Band
channels that are in the same frequency.
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 performing one of the
following actions:
• Pressing the programmed Privacy button to
toggle privacy on or off.
• Using the Radio Menu as described by the steps
described next.
