Important Safety Information
Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to occupational use only to
satisfy FCC/ICNIRP 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
6881095C98) to ensure compliance with RF energy
exposure limits.
For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and
other accessories, visit the following website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com/governmentandenterprise
Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by
Motorola, may void the user’s authority to operate this device.
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
Firmware Version
All the features described in the following sections are
supported by the radio's firmware version R02.02.00 or
later.
See Checking the Firmware Version and Codeplug
Version on page 93 to determine your radio's firmware

Handling Precautions

Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP54
specifications. Your radio limits protection against dust and
water exposure.
•Keep your radio clean and exposure to water should be
avoided to help ensure proper functionality and performance.
•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).
•These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual
inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or
grime.
RF Energy Exposure and Product
Safety Guidelines and Instructions
See more detailed proper usage instructions, warnings and
cautions in the Regulatory Compliance and Product Safety
Guide.
1To ensure a comfortable audio level and
compliance with RF energy exposure limits,
do not hold against the ear or alongside the
head.
2Use only in front of the face or with
Motorola Solutions approved audio
accessories and carry cases to ensure
compliance with RF energy exposure limits.
The effects on certain chemicals and their
vapors can have harmful results on certain
plastics. Avoid using aerosol sprays, tuner
cleaners and other chemicals.

Operating Precautions

Operating Precautions
•Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the
time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button.
To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of
the time, or less, is important because this radio generates
measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in
terms of measuring for standards compliance).
•To protect your hearing, use the lowest volume necessary to
do your job, turn down the volume before adding a headset or
earpiece, and limit the amount of time you use headsets or
earpieces at high volume.
•User awareness instructions should accompany device when
transferred to other users.
NOTE: For more details please read the information about RF
Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information
and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use in
the Quick Reference Guide/Safety Booklet (Motorola
Publications number 68009553001) provided with your
radio.

Charging the Battery
Your radio is powered by a Lithium-Ion (Li-lon) battery. To avoid
damage and comply with warranty terms, charge the battery
using a Motorola charger exactly as described in the charger
user guide. All chargers can charge only the Motorola
authorized batteries. Other batteries may not charge.
Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best
performance. Prior to charging a battery with the radio, it is
recommended to turn the radio off. Batteries charge best at
room temperature.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic
purposes:
•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 25).
If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 84) 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.

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.
When Capacity Plus is enabled, features not applicable to
Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. Also, 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 both
conventional digital mode and 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 system configuration.
