GENERAL INFORMATION
Thank you for purchasing the Motorola GTX Privacy Plus®mobile
radio. GTX mobile radios has ten (10) trunked modes with eight (8)
talkgroups in each trunked mode, and ten (10) conventional chan-
nels and are available in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz frequency
ranges. Intelligent and flexible software increased the radio’s capa-
bility and permits many of the radios features to be customized for
you.
ARNING:
When installing or removing the mobile radio from the
vehicle, the radio must be turned off.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the use of
Warnings,Cautions,andNotes. These notations are used to
emphasize that safety hazards exist, and care must be taken or
observed.
ARNING:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc.,
which may result in injury or death if not carefully
observed.

MULTIPLE SELECTION
Each trunked mode may have its own unique set of talkgroups, Call
Alert paging, and Private Conversation calls. After a trunked mode
has been selected, there is a delay of approximately one second
before the radio can receive or transmit calls.
TALKGROUP SELECTION
A trunked system can be divided into different talkgroups. This
enables the system owner to organize the talkgroups into commu-
nication groups according to function. Members of a specific talk-
group hear only messages intended for their talkgroup. For
example, if talkgroup B is selected, you will not receive messages
for talkgroup E.
FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES OF TRUNKING
The GTX mobile radio can operate on both trunked and conven-
tional radio systems. Conventional typically refers to radio-to-radio
communication, sometimes through a repeater.
A trunked radio system allows a large number of users to share a
relatively small number of frequencies without interfering with each
other.
The air time of all the repeaters in the trunked system is pooled,
which maximizes the amount of air time available to any one radio,
and minimizes channel congestion.
Some of the overall key benefits of a Motorola Trunked Radio Sys-
tem are:
•No channel monitoring required prior to transmission.
•Improved system access.
•Automatic channel selection.
•Increased privacy among members of the same group.
•Only one attempt is required to access the system. If all chan-
nels are busy, the call request enters a queue and the central
controller automatically assigns the next available channel. Two
(2) medium-pitched tones followed by one (1) high-pitched tone
sounds when the call can be made.

or accessories.
Read This Information Before Using Your Radio
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
ARNING:
Do not place install a mobile radio in the area over an air
bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate
with great force. If a mobile radio is installed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may
be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to
occupants of the vehicle.
Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be per-
formed by a professional installer/technician qualified in the
requirements for such installations. An air bag’s size, shape and
deployment area can vary by vehicle make, model and front com-
partment configuration (e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate headquarters, if nec-
essary, for specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model
and front compartment configuration involved in your communica-
tion equipment installation.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
ARNING:
Turn off your two-way radio when you are in any area with
a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in a poten-
tially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Blasting Caps and Areas
ARNING:
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations,
turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting
caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off two-
way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
OTE:
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above
include fueling areas such as: below decks on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; areas where the air contains chemicals or par-
ticles, such as grain, dust or metal powders; and any other area where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres are often but not always posted.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your Motorola two-way radio, which generates and radiates radio
frequency (RF) electromagnetic energy (EME), is designed to com-
ply with the following National and International Standards and
Guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy:
•Federal Communications Commission Report and Order No.
FCC 96-326 (August 1996)
•American National Standards Institute (C95.1 - 1992)
•National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements
(NCRP-1986)
•International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNRP- 1986)
•European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CEN-
ELEC):
– ENV 50166-1 1995 E – Human Exposure to Electromagnetic
Fields Low Frequency (0 Hz to 10 kHz)
– ENV 50166-2 1995 E – Human Exposure to Electromagnetic
Fields High Frequency (10 kHz to 300 GHz)

To assure optimal radio performance and to ensure that your expo-
sure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guide-
lines in the above standards, always adhere to the following
procedures:
Mobile Radio Operation and EME Exposure
To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines ref-
erenced earlier in this document, transmit
only
when people inside
and outside the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away
from a properly installed, externally-mounting antenna.
Table 1 lists the minimum distance for several different ranges of
rated radio power.
Mobile Antenna Installation
Install the vehicle antenna
external
to the vehicle and in accor-
dance with:
•The requirements of the antenna manufacturer/supplier
•Instructions in the Radio Installation Manual.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY
OTE:
Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic inter-
ference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise config-
ured for electromagnetic compatibility.
•To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility con-
flicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If you cannot communicate with your two-way radio, try the follow-
ing steps:
1. Checking the radio
•Be sure the radio is turned on and the mode selector is in the
proper position.
2. Check the accessories
•Check that the radio problem is not caused by accessories
improperly connected.
3. Review the user guide
•Review your user guide to ensure proper radio use.
4. Additional troubleshooting
•After following the above steps, if your radio still exhibits a prob-
lem, review your service agreement and call the applicable
Motorola service representative. Be prepared to provide the
product model number and the unit’s serial number.
Self Test Failure
•In case of self test failure, the invalid continuous tone is
sounded. If the radio still does not pass the self check, a problem
may exist in the radio. Contact the nearest Motorola service rep-
resentative.
OTE:
The power-up self check verifies that the radio’s microprocessor-based
systems are working, but it does not check all the RF components, nor
does it check the operation of all customer-specific features. Motorola
recommends that the functioning of the radio be checked periodically
by an authorized Motorola service representative.
