to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular in-
stallation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Important Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide
for Mobile Two-Way Radios
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only.
Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure
and Product Safety Guide for Mobile Two-Way
Radios which contains important operating
instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness
and control for Compliance with applicable standards
and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola-approved antennas and other
accessories, visit the following website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com
Any modification to this device, not expressly
authorized by Motorola, may void the user’s authority
to operate this device.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio
transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a
type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the
transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential
radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry
Canada to operate with Motorola-approved antenna
with the maximum permissible gain and required
antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.

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.
Additional Radio Controls in Non-Connect Plus Mode

English
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

Contact Settings
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your
radio. Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that
you use to initiate a call.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with
one of five types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All
Call, PC Call or Dispatch Call.
PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are
only available with the applications. Refer to the data
applications documentation for more information.
Note:
If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel,
you can make privacy-enabled Group Call,
Private Call, and All Call on that channel. Only
target radios with the same Privacy Key, or the
same Key Value and Key ID as your radio will
be able to unscramble the transmission.
See Privacy on page 99 for more
information.
Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign
each entry to a programmable number key or more

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).
Note:
This feature is not applicable in Citizens Band
channels that are in the same frequency.
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:
• Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle
privacy on or off.
• Using the Radio Menu as described by the steps
described next.

Bluetooth Operation
Note:
If disabled via the CPS, all Bluetooth-related
features are disabled and the Bluetooth device
database is erased.
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 re-establish
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
Advanced Features in Connect Plus Mode
204
English
call to a private contact, you will receive a
denial tone. At this 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

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.

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 211.
Note:
A Scan List member must be a regular Group
Contact (i.e. not Multigroup or Site All Call/

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”

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 210).
• 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).

The radio resumes group scan after its
Scan Hang Time Timer expires.

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
204.
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

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
suppresses all audio or visual
indications of the Emergency until you
press the PTT button to start a voice
transmission.
Silent

The same as Silent operation, except
that the radio also unmutes for some
voice transmissions.

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

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 current
channel selector position to send a privacy-enabled
transmission, although this is not a necessary
requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a
privacy-enabled channel selector position, the radio is
still able to receive clear (unscrambled)
transmissions.
Your radio supports Enhanced Privacy.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call transmission,
your radio must be programmed to have 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 Key Value and Key ID, you hear nothing at
all (Enhanced Privacy).
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:
• Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle
privacy on or off.
• Using the Radio Menu as described by the steps
described next.

secure or unsecure icon appears on the status
bar, except when the radio is sending or receiving
an Emergency Alert.
Making a Privacy-Enabled (Scrambled) Call
Toggle privacy on using the programmed privacy
button or by using the menu. Your radio must have
the Privacy feature enabled for the currently selected
channel position to send a privacy-enabled
transmission. When privacy is enabled for the
currently selected channel position, all voice
transmissions made by your radio will be scrambled.
This includes Group Call, Multigroup Call, talk-back
during scanned calls, Site All Call, Emergency Call,
and Private Call. Only receiving radios with the same
Key Value and Key ID as your radio will be able to
unscramble the transmission.
Security
You can enable or disable any radio in the system.

radio, to prevent the thief from using it, and enable
that radio, when it is recovered.

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 re-establish
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.

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.
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
Advanced Features in Connect Plus Mode

English
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
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.
