•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.

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.
OR
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.
OR
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.
NAG-LACR.book Page 32 Thursday, April 12, 2012 5:58 PM

33
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.
OR
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.

34
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.
