Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance
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 Product
Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio (Motorola
Publication part number 68P81095C98) to ensure compliance with RF
energy exposure limits.
ABCD
Scan
Scan allows you to monitor multiple channels and receive calls that are transmitted on them. Two types of scan are supported: Normal
Scan and Priority Scan.
Normal Scan searches all channels sequentially in the radio’s scan list, whereas Priority Scan allocates 50% of the scanning time to the
Priority Channel (the first channel in the designated scan list).
During scan, when activity is detected that meets the unsquelch condition, the radio stops scanning and switches to that channel; the
G indicator is illuminated, and the channel number is displayed. When no activity is detected for a pre-set time, the radio resumes
scanning.
If your radio has switched to a non-priority channel during priority scan, it still checks for activity on the priority channel. If activity is
detected there, the radio switches to the priority channel.
The radio transmits on the Home Channel, if PTT is pressed during scanning. If the radio has stopped scanning, and changed to a
particular channel, all transmit and receive activity is performed on that channel.
• Press the Scan button to begin channel scanning. The G indicator blinks to indicate that the radio is scanning. The LCD Screen
shows the Home Channel where the scan began.
• Press thebutton to scan the channels in incremental order, and thebutton to scan in the opposite order.
• Press Scan button to stop scanning.
Deleting a Nuisance Scan Channel
A channel with unwanted activity is called a Nuisance Channel. You can remove a Nuisance Channel from the scan list temporarily. To
remove a Nuisance Channel
• Press the Nuisance Channel Delete button, when your radio stops on a Nuisance Channel. A high-pitched tone is heard.
You cannot remove the Home or Priority Channel from the scan list. If attempted, a low-pitched tone is heard, and no action is taken.
To reinstate the deleted channel(s) into the scan list, restart scan, or simply turn off your radio and turn it on again.
Programming Mode
This mode allows you to change feature parameters to enhance the use of your radio.
Entering Programming Mode
If your radio is turned on, turn it off. Press and hold the Monitor button, and turn on your radio. A ringing tone is heard, indicating that your
radio is in Programming Mode. The K indicator illuminates and RW is displayed.
Exiting Programming Mode
Turn off the radio, to exit Programming Mode.
Accessing Programming Mode Parameters
Press PTT or the Monitor button, to scroll through the features available in Programming Mode. Press the button to scroll through
the parameters for each feature.
Feature Range Remarks
Squelch Level
(SQL-XX)
SQL-00, …, SQL-15 Select low level when you need to receive very weak
signal, and select high level when the communications distance is near.
Time Out Timer
(TOT-XXX)
TOT-OFF, TOT-001, …, TOT-010 This determines the maximum duration (in minutes) that you can transmit
continuously.
Battery Saver
(BS-XXXX)
BS-OFF,
BS-NORM,
BS-ENH
Battery Saver helps to extend your battery life. When enabled, it turns off
radio receiver circuitry periodically when no activity is detected. BS-NORM
(Normal) turns off the radio less frequently; select this if you want to save bat-
tery, but expect a Selective Call. BS-ENH (Enhanced) turns off the receiver
for a longer duration; select this if you want to maximize battery saving and
do not expect to receive any Selective Call.
Battery Type
(BT-XXXX)
BT-NIMH,
BT-NICD,
BT-ALK
Selects the type of battery that your radio uses: NIMH (Nickel Metal
Hydride), NICD (Nickel Cadmium) or ALK (Alkaline).
Alert Tone Volume
(BEEP-X)
BEEP-OFF, BEEP-1,
BEEP-2,
BEEP-3
Selects the alert tone volume needed. Select BEEP-OFF, if you require quiet
operation, or BEEP-3, if working in a noisy environment.
Home Channel Select
(PRM-XXX)
PRM-OFF, PRM-001, ….,
PRM-XXX,
XXX denotes the highest channel
number supported by your model.
The Home Channel is the channel that you wish to spend most of your time
monitoring. The radio will always switch back to the Home Channel if it is
idle for more than the pre-programmed hang-time in other channel.
Backlight Select
(LGT-XXXX)
LGT-AUTO, LGT-TOGL Selecting LGT-TOGL makes the Backlight button a toggle to control the ON/
OFF status of the LCD backlight. Selecting LGT-AUTO causes the backlight
to automatically extinguish, if there is no keypress for more than 5 seconds.
Pressing the Backlight button prolongs illumination time.
