Important Safety Information
Before using this product, read the operating
instructions for safe usage contained in the
Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet
enclosed with your radio.
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to occupational use only to
satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements.
Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness
information and operating instructions in the (Motorola
Publication part number 68009584001) to ensure
compliance with RF energy exposure limits and CSA
Safety Leaflet (Motorola Publication part number
68012006018).
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.
Important Safety Information

Handling Precautions
• If the radio has been submersed in water, shake the
radio well to remove any water that may be trapped
inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped
water could cause decreased audio performance.
• If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to
water, clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio
and the battery before attaching the battery to the
radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.
• If the radio has been submersed in a corrosive
substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery
in fresh water then dry the radio and battery.
• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use a diluted
solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water
(i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).
below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure
equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak
path into the radio and the radio’s submersibility may
be lost.
• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.
• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the
vent.
• The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to
be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 meter (3.28
feet) and a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes.
Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna
may result in damage to the radio.
• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet
Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets
IP57 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand
adverse field conditions such as being submersed in
water.
• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis
spray on the radio as this will exceed the 1 meter depth
pressure and may cause water to leak into the radio.
Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Radio maintenance should only be
done in service depot that is equipped to test
and replace the seal on the radio.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic
purposes:
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 96) or the PTT Sidetone
is enabled, wait
until the short alert tone ends before talking.
Identifying Radio Controls
During a call, if the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled on your radio (programmed by your dealer), you
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.
PTT Button
• While a call is in progress, the PTT button allows the radio to
transmit to other radios in the call.
Press and hold down PTT button to talk. Release the PTT
button to listen.
The microphone is activated when the PTT button is pressed.
• While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make
a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 28).
12
English
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.
Switching Between Conventional Analog
and Digital Mode
Channel
Selector
Knob
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.
When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features
are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (such as
Messages) reflect this change by appearing ‘grayed out’.
Disabled features are hidden in the menu.
Your radio also has features available in both analog and digital
mode. However, the minor differences in the way each feature
works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.
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.
Identifying Radio Controls
Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional
analog or conventional digital channel. Use the Channel
Selector Knob to switch between an analog or a digital channel.
IP Site Connect
NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam
enabled, not both at the same time.
NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog
modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on
page 48).
13
English
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).
Identifying Radio Controls
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam
list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.
14
English
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.
Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus are not
available in the menu. 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 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.
Similar to Capacity Plus, icons of features not applicable to
Linked Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. You hear a
negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not
applicable to Linked Capacity Plus via a programmable button
press.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information on this configuration.
Identifying Radio Controls
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.
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam
list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.
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.

Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where
there are multiple base stations transmitting identical
information on different analog channels.
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.

a call.
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.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five
types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or
Dispatch Call.
The LED blinks yellow and the vote scan icon appears on the
status bar.

Repeat “MAYDAY” and the name of the vessel.
“WE ARE LOCATED AT _______________________.”
State the position of the vessel in distress, using any
information that will help responders to locate you, e.g.:
• latitude and longitude
• bearing (state whether you are using true or magnetic
north)
• distance to a well-known landmark
• vessel course, speed or destination
5 State the nature of the distress.
6 Specify what kind of assistance you need.
7 State the number of persons on board and the number
