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 channels and are available in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz frequency
ranges. Intelligent and flexible software increased the radio’s capability and permits many of the radios features to be customized for
you.
WARNING:
When installing or removing the mobile radio from the
vehicle, the radio must be turned off.
If in doubt, contact the person in charge of your radio system
or your local service representative.
WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTES
Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the use of
Warnings, Cautions, and Notes. These notations are used to
emphasize that safety hazards exist, and care must be taken or
observed.
WARNING:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc.,
which may result in injury or death if not carefully
observed.
C AUTION:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc.,
which may result in damage to the equipment if not carefully observed.
NOTE:

English
This user guide describes the way a standard radio works.
Since standard operation may be changed by programming both concerning the Functions which the radio includes and
the Buttons used to activate them - the way your radio operates may differ from what is described here.
4
Introduction
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.
English
TALKGROUP SELECTION
A trunked system can be divided into different talkgroups. This
enables the system owner to organize the talkgroups into communication groups according to function. Members of a specific talkgroup 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 conventional 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 System 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 channels 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.

OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles with an Air Bag
WARNING:
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 performed 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 compartment configuration (e.g., bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model
and front compartment configuration involved in your communication equipment installation.
