•While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 23).

If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On

or Off on page 61) or the PTT Sidetone is 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.

Switching Between Conventional Analog and

Digital Mode

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.

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.

Your radio also switches between digital and analog modes

during a dual mode scan (see Scan on page 32).

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 Members

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).

You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam list. A

Software License Key sold separately is required to use this

feature

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.

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, and Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences

in the way each feature works does NOT affect the performance

of your radio. A Software License Key sold separately is

required to use this feature.

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.

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. A Software License Key sold separately is required to

use this feature.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more

information on this configuration.

Scan Lists

Scan lists are created and assigned to individual channels/

groups. Your radio scans for voice activity by cycling through

the channel/group sequence specified in the scan list for the

current channel/group.

Your radio can support up to 250 scan lists, with a maximum of

16 members in a list. Each scan list supports a mixture of both

analog and digital entries.

You can add, delete, or prioritize channels by editing a scan list.

You can attach a new scan list to your radio via Front Panel

Programming.

NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus and

Linked Capacity Plus.

Scan

When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the

programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice

activity.

The LED blinks yellow and the scan icon appears on the status

bar.

During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and

your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically

switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of

the call. This is also true for the reverse.

There are two ways of initiating scan:

•Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the

channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your

radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start

on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel

where scan was initiated.

•Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts

scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto

Scan enabled.

NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus and

Linked Capacity Plus.

Starting and Stopping Scan

Procedure:

Press the programmed Scan button to start or stop Scan.

Follow the procedure below.

1Use the Channel Selector Knob to select a channel

programmed with a scan list.

2c to access the menu.

3< or > to Scan and press e to select.

4< or > to Scan State and press e to select.

5< or > to required scan state and press e to select.

6The display shows Scan On when scan is enabled. The LED

blinks yellow and the scan icon appears.

The display shows Scan Off if scan is disabled. The LED

turns off and the scan icon disappears.

While scanning, the radio will only accept data (e.g. location, or

PC data) if received on its Selected Channel.



Responding to a Transmission During a Scan

During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where

activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a

programmed time period known as “hang time”.

Procedure:

1Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from

your mouth.

If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you

will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio

releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for

you to respond.

2Press the PTT button during hang time. The LED lights up

solid green.

3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and

speak clearly into the microphone.

Wait for the PTT Sidetone to finish (if enabled) and

speak clearly into the microphone.

4Release the PTT button to listen.

5If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns

to scanning other channels/groups.

Deleting a Nuisance Channel

If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise

(termed a “nuisance” channel), you can temporarily remove the

unwanted channel from the scan list.

This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the

Selected Channel.

Procedure:

1When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance

channel, press the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete

button until you hear a tone.

2Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The

nuisance channel is deleted.

Deleting a “nuisance” channel is only possible through the

programmed Nuisance Channel Delete button. This feature is

not accessible through the menu.

Restoring a Nuisance Channel

Procedure:

To restore the deleted nuisance channel, do one of the

following:

•Turn the radio off and then power it on again, OR

•Stop and restart a scan via the programmed Scan button or

menu, OR

•Change the channel via the Channel Selector Knob.

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 33.

Contacts 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 51 for more information.

Your radio supports two Contacts lists, one for Analog contacts

and one for Digital contacts, with a maximum of 500 members

for each Contacts list.

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.

For the Analog Contacts list, you can only view the

subscriber IDs, edit the subscriber IDs, and initiate a

Call Alert. Adding and deleting capabilities 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. (A Software License Key sold separately

is required for this feature.)

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).

The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and

double blinks green when the radio is receiving an ongoing

privacy-enabled transmission.

Some radio models may not offer this Privacy feature. Check

with your dealer or system administrator for more

information.Procedure:

Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or

off.

Follow the procedure below.

icon appears on the status bar, except when the radio is

sending or receiving an Emergency call or alarm.

VI. PATENT AND SOFTWARE PROVISIONS:

MOTOROLA will defend, at its own expense, any suit brought

against the end user purchaser to the extent that it is based on a

claim that the Product or parts infringe a United States patent, and

MOTOROLA will pay those costs and damages finally awarded

against the end user purchaser in any such suit which are

attributable to any such claim, but such defense and payments are

conditioned on the following:

A) that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such

purchaser of any notice of such claim;

B) that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such

suit and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; and

C)should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA’s opinion

be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a

United States patent, that such purchaser will permit

MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for

such purchaser the right to continue using the Product or parts or

to replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing

or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as

depreciated and accept its return. The depreciation will be an

equal amount per year over the lifetime of the Product or parts as

established by MOTOROLA.

MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent

infringement which is based upon the combination of the Product or

parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or devices not

furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability

for the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by

MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the

Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA with

respect to infringement of patents by the Product or any parts

thereof.

Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for

MOTOROLA certain exclusive rights for copyrighted MOTOROLA

software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in copies and

distribute copies of such MOTOROLA software. MOTOROLA

software may be used in only the Product in which the software was

originally embodied and such software in such Product may not be

replaced, copied, distributed, modified in any way, or used to

produce any derivative thereof. No other use including, without

limitation, alteration, modification, reproduction, distribution, or

reverse engineering of such MOTOROLA software or exercise of

rights in such MOTOROLA software is permitted. No license is
