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

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
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.

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 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).
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

Bluetooth Operation
This feature allows you to use your radio with a
Bluetooth enabled device (accessory) via a wireless
Bluetooth connection. Your radio supports both
Motorola and COTS (Commercially available Off-The-
Shelf) Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Bluetooth operates within a range of 10 meters (32
feet) line of sight.This is an unobstructed path
between your radio and your Bluetooth-enabled
device.
It is not recommended that you leave your radio
behind and expect your Bluetooth-enabled device to
work with a high degree of reliability when they are
separated.
At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone
quality will start to sound “garbled” or “broken”. To
correct this problem, simply position your radio and
Bluetooth-enabled device closer to each other (within
the 10-meter/32 feet defined range) to reestablish
clear audio reception. Your radio’s Bluetooth function
has a maximum power of 2.5 mW (4 dBm) at the 10-
meter/32 feet range.
Your radio can support up to 3 simultaneous
Bluetooth connections with Bluetooth-enabled
devices of unique types. For example, a headset, a
scanner, and a PTT-Only Device (POD). Multiple
connections with Bluetooth-enabled devices of the
same type are not supported.
Refer to your respective Bluetooth-enabled device’s
user manual for more details on your Bluetooth-
enabled device’s full capabilities.

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 single 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) and Phone calls are not
available in Fallback mode. If you attempt a call to a
private contact, you will receive a denial tone. At this
Advanced Features in Connect Plus Mode
191
English
point 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.
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

This feature allows your radio to monitor and join calls
for groups defined in a pre-programmed scan list.
When scan is enabled, the scan icon appears on the
status bar and the LED blinks yellow when idle.
Starting and Stopping Scan
Note: This procedure turns the Scan feature On or
Off for all Connect Plus 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 Editing the Scan
List on page 197 for more information.
You can start and stop scanning by pressing the

Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
During scanning, your radio stops on a group where
activity is detected. The radio continuously listens for
any member in the scan list when idle on the control
channel.

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 alias must not match
any Talkgroup that has been included in the current
Zone's Scan List.
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

•The display shows Scan On momentarily if
scan is disabled.
•The display shows Scan Off momentarily if

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. If Scan is
enabled the radio will also listen for activity on
enabled Zone Scan List members.
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,
• Enable/disable scan for individual groups on the
list.
• Add and Remove the scan members from the Add
Member menu. Refer to Add or Delete a Group via
the Add Members Menu on page 198.
Note: A Scan List member must be a regular Group
Contact (i.e. not Multigroup 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.

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.
Add or Delete a Group via the Add Members
Menu
The Connect Plus radio does not allow a duplicate
group number or a duplicate group alias to be placed
on a zone scan list (or to be shown as a “scan
candidate”). Thus, the list of “scan candidates”
described in steps 6 on page 199 and 7 on page
199 sometimes changes after adding or deleting a
group from the zone scan list.
If your radio has been programmed to allow you to
edit the scan list, you can use the Add Members
menu to add a group to the scan list of the currently
selected zone, or to delete a group from the san list of
the currently selected zone.

Your radio displays the first entry in a list of groups
assigned to a channel position in that zone. The
groups on the list are called “scan candidates”,

necessary to return to the desired menu.
Understanding Scan Operation
Note: If the Radio joins a call for a Zone Scan List
member from a different Zone and Call Hang Timer
expires before you are able to respond, in order to
respond, you must navigate to the Zone and Channel
of the Scan List Member and start a new call.
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.
• Scan feature is not turned on (check for the scan
icon on the display).
• Scan list member has been disabled via the menu
(see Editing the Scan List on page 197).
• You are participating in a call already.
• No member of the scanned group is registered at
your site (Multisite systems only).

Scan Talkback
If your radio scans into a call from the selectable
group scan list, and if the PTT button is pressed
during the scanned call, the operation of the radio
depends on whether Scan Talkback was enabled or
disabled during radio programming. For more
information on how your radio is programmed,
contact your radio dealer (or your radio system
administrator).
Scan Talkback Disabled — The radio leaves the
scanned call and attempts to transmit on the contact
for the currently selected channel position. After the
Call Hang Time on the currently selected contact
expires, the radio returns to the home channel and
starts the Scan Hang Time Timer. The radio resumes
group scan after its Scan Hang Time Timer expires.
Scan Talkback Enabled — If the PTT button is
pressed during the Group Hang Time of the scanned
call, the radio attempts to transmit to the scanned
group.
Note: If you scan into a call for a group that is not
assigned to a channel position in the currently
selected zone and you miss the Hang Time of the
call, switch to the proper zone and then select the
channel position of the group to talk back to that
group.
Contacts Settings
Note: You can add, or edit subscriber IDs for Connect
Plus Contacts. Deleting subscriber IDs can only be
performed by your dealer.
If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you
can make a privacy-enabled voice call on that
channel. Only target radios with the same Privacy
Key OR the same Key Value and Key ID as your
radio are able to unscramble the transmission.
Contacts provide “address-book” capabilities on your
radio. Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that
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
• Site All Call Voice
• Site All Call Text

Emergency Operation
Note: If your radio is programmed for “Silent” or
“Silent with voice” emergency initiation, in most cases
it automatically exits silent operation after the
Emergency Call or Emergency Alert is finished. The
exception to this rule is when “Emergency Alert” is the
configured Emergency Mode and “Silent” is the
configured Emergency Type. If your radio is
programmed in this manner, the silent operation
continues until you cancel silent operation by
pressing PTT or the button configured for
“Emergency Off”.
Emergency voice calls and Emergency Alerts are not
supported when operating in Connect Plus Auto
Fallback mode. For more information see the Auto
Fallback on page 191.
An Emergency Alert is used to indicate a critical
situation. You can initiate an Emergency at any time
on any screen display, even when there is activity on
the current channel. Pressing the Emergency button
initiates the programmed Emergency mode. The
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
the assigned operation of the Emergency button.
• If the short press for the Emergency button is
assigned to turn on the Emergency mode, then the
long press for the Emergency button is assigned
to exit the Emergency mode.
• If the long press for the Emergency button is
assigned to turn on the Emergency mode, then the
short press for the Emergency button is assigned
to exit the Emergency mode.
When your radio is selected to a Connect Plus zone,
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
first transmission on the assigned emergency time
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.
Saving the Emergency Details to the Alarm List

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.

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

Bluetooth Operation
This feature allows you to use your radio with a
Bluetooth enabled device (accessory) via a wireless
Bluetooth connection. Your radio supports both
Motorola and COTS (Commercially available Off-The-
Shelf) Bluetooth-enabled devices.
Bluetooth operates within a range of 10 meters (32
feet) line of sight.This is an unobstructed path
between your radio and your Bluetooth-enabled
device.
It is not recommended that you leave your radio
behind and expect your Bluetooth-enabled device to
work with a high degree of reliability when they are
separated.
At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone
quality will start to sound “garbled” or “broken”. To
correct this problem, simply position your radio and
Bluetooth-enabled device closer to each other (within
the 10-meter/32 feet defined range) to reestablish
clear audio reception. Your radio’s Bluetooth function
has a maximum power of 2.5 mW (4 dBm) at the 10-
meter/32 feet range.
Your radio can support up to 4 simultaneous
Bluetooth connections with Bluetooth-enabled
devices of unique types. For example, a headset, and
a PTT-Only Device (POD). Multiple connections with
Bluetooth-enabled devices of the same type are not
supported.
Refer to your respective Bluetooth-enabled device’s
user manual for more details on your Bluetooth-
enabled device’s full capabilities.

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.
Advanced Features in Connect Plus Mode
249
English
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.
• 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
Advanced Features in Connect Plus Mode
250
English
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.
