Class B Digital Device

As a personal computer peripheral, this device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. This device complies with

Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1This device may not cause harmful interference, and

2This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Note:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant

to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

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.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or TV technician for help.

Declaration of Conformity

Appareil numérique de Classe B

En tant que périphérique d'ordinateur personnel, cet appareil est conforme aux stipulations de la partie 15 des rè-

glements de la FCC. Cet appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio

exempts de licence. Son utilisation est assujettie aux deux conditions suivantes :

nement indésirable.

Remarque

Ce matériel a fait l'objet de tests et a été déclaré conforme aux limites établies pour un appareil numérique

de classe B, comme il est stipulé à la section 15 des règlements de la FCC. Ces limites sont fixées afin

d'offrir une protection suffisante contre des interférences nuisibles dans une installation résidentielle. Ce

matériel génère, utilise et peut émettre de l'énergie radiofréquence et, s'il n'est pas installé ni utilisé confor-

mément aux instructions, il peut provoquer un brouillage nuisible aux communications radio. Cependant,

on ne peut garantir qu'il n'y aura aucune interférence dans une installation particulière.

Si cet appareil cause une interférence nuisible de la réception de la radio ou de la télévision, ce qui peut

être déterminé en éteignant et en allumant l'appareil, vous êtes encouragé à remédier à la situation en

prenant une ou plusieurs des mesures suivantes :

•Réorienter ou déplacer l'antenne réceptrice.

• Augmenter la distance entre l'équipement et le récepteur.

• Brancher l'appareil dans une autre prise sur un circuit différent de celui du récepteur.

• Consulter un revendeur ou un technicien radio/télévision chevronné pour obtenir de l'aide.

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.

Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain

greater than the maximum gain indicated for that

type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

The PTT button on the side of the radio ( ) serves

two basic purposes:

• 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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Vote Scan

Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in

areas where there are multiple base stations

transmitting identical information on different analog

channels.

Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base

stations and performs a voting process to select the

strongest received signal. Once that is established,

your radio unmutes to transmissions from that base

station.

The LED blinks yellow and the vote scan icon

appears on the status bar.

To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan,

follow the same procedures as Responding to a

Transmission During a Scan on page 63.

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

on a keypad microphone. If an entry is assigned to a

Advanced Features in Non-Connect Plus Mode

the entry.

Your radio supports two Contacts lists, one for Analog

contacts and one for Digital contacts, with a maximum

of 500 members for Analog and 1000 for Digital on

each Contacts list respectively.

Each entry within Contacts displays the following

information:

• Call Type

• Call Alias

• Call ID

Note:

You can add or edit subscriber IDs for the

Digital Contacts list. Deleting subscriber IDs

can only be performed by your dealer.

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

the user of that radio. No audible or visual notification

is shown on the target radio.

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

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/

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.

Group, the check mark is removed before the Group

name.

Add or Delete a Group via the Add Members

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 and 7 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

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).

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.

the call, switch to the proper zone and then

select the channel position of the group to talk

back to that group.

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

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.

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

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.

For example, you might want to disable a stolen

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

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.
