SAFETY
Medical Devices
•Pacemakers
The Advanced Medical Technology
Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a
minimum separation of 6 inches (15
centimeters) be maintained between a
handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent
with those of the U. S. Food and Drug
Administration.
Persons with pacemakers should:
•ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6
inches (15 centimeters) from their pace-
maker when the radio is turned ON.
•not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
•use the ear opposite the pacemaker to
minimize the potential for interference.
•turn the radio OFF immediately if you
have any reason to suspect that interfer-
ence is taking place.
•Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless radios may interfere
with some hearing aids. In the event of such
interference, you may want to consult your
hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
•Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical
device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from RF energy. Your physician
may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Driver Safety
Check the laws and regulations on the use of
radios in the area where you drive. Always
obey them.
When using your radio while driving, please:
•Give full attention to driving and to the road.
•Use hands-free operation, if available.
•Pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so

SAFETY
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS
For Vehicles With an Air Bag
Do not place a portable radio in the area
over an air bag or in the air bag deployment
area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a
portable radio is placed in the air bag
deployment area and the air bag inflates,
the radio may be propelled with great force
and cause serious injury to occupants of
the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn off your radio prior to entering any
area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, unless it is a radio type
especially qualified for use in such areas as
“Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory
Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do not
remove, install, or charge batteries in such
areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive
atmospheres referred to above include
fueling areas such as below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust
or metal powders, and any other area where
you would normally be advised to turn off
your vehicle engine. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often but not
always posted.
Blasting Caps and Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting
operations, turn off your radio when you
are near electrical blasting caps, in a
blasting area, or in areas posted: “Turn off
two-way radio.” Obey all signs and
instructions.

SAFETY
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a
damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn
can result.
Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/
or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive
material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded
chains touch exposed terminals. The
conductive material may complete an electrical
circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
Exercise care in handling any charged battery,
particularly when placing it inside a pocket,
purse, or other container with metal objects.
BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Batteries
This product is powered by a nickel-metal-
hydride (NiMH), or lithium-ion rechargeable
battery. Charge the battery before use to
ensure optimum capacity and performance.
The battery was designed specifically to be
used with a Motorola charger. Charging in non-
Motorola equipment may lead to battery
damage and void the battery warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C)
(room temperature), whenever possible.
Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C])
may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a
hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-
sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are
charged within the temperature limits stated
above.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Motorola’s
HT Series family of radio
users. The HT1250•LS+,
the Intelligent Radio,
combines the very latest
in two-way technology
while delivering
outstanding functionality
at the touch of a button.
The HT1250•LS+ portable radio operates on
PassPort and LTR trunked and conventional
radio systems.
TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS
Trunked systems allow a large number of users
to share a relatively small number of
frequencies or repeaters without interfering
with each other. The airtime of all the repeaters
in a trunked system is pooled, which
maximizes the amount of airtime available to
any one radio and minimizes channel
congestion.
PassPort™ Trunked Systems
PassPort is an enhanced trunking protocol
developed by Trident Micro Systems that
supports wide area dispatch networking. A
network is formed by linking several trunked
sites together to form a single system. This
offers users an extended communication
coverage area. Additionally, users with
PassPort can seamlessly roam among all sites
within the network. Seamless roaming means
that the radio user does not have to manually
change the zones on the radio when roaming
from site-to-site.
LTR™ Trunked Systems
LTR is a transmission based trunking protocol
developed by the E. F. Johnson Company for
primarily single site trunking applications. In
transmission trunking, a repeater is used for
only the duration of a single transmission.
Once a transmission is completed, that
repeater becomes available to other users.
This means that a conversation comprised of
many transmissions may occur over several
different channels within the LTR system. This
method of trunking provides system efficiency
14
English
INTRODUCTION
by making repeaters available to all users after
every transmission.
CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional radio systems typically refers to
unit-to-unit communications through a single
channel. Conventional systems also allow
radio users to extend communication coverage
by relaying their messages through a repeater.
To ensure coordinated use by multiple
talkgroups, each radio user must monitor the
channel or repeater before transmitting to
verify that the system is not currently busy.

TRUNKING
PASSPORT TRUNKING
PassPort is an enhanced, wide-area trunking
protocol developed by Trident Micro Systems.
Up to 128 trunked sites can be linked together
to form one PassPort system, which means
that your communications can extend far
beyond the reach of a single trunked site.
SEAMLESS ROAMING
Passport Trunking systems offer you the ability
to seamlessly roam among all sites in a
network. Seamless Roaming means that you
do not have to manually change the zones on
the radio when roaming from site-to-site. As
you roam throughout a Passport System’s
coverage area, your HT1250•LS+ radio is
regularly monitoring the RSSI (Received
Signal Strength Indication) level of the site on
which you are currently registered. In addition,
if the signal strength falls below the acceptable
threshold pre-programmed by your dealer, your
radio starts monitoring the RSSI level of
adjacent sites within the network. This allows
the HT1250•LS+ radio to quickly roam to the
site with the strongest signal, which provides
you with optimal audio quality throughout your
communications.
Initial Registration
Before communications with your talkgroup
can begin, your radio needs to register on the
PassPort system. Registration automatically
takes place upon radio power up or after
selecting the desired PassPort zone on the
selector knob. What you see:
1Upon radio Power up,
you see:
(if you select a
PassPort zone after
the radio is powered
up, see step 2).

PassPort zone alias

play.
3The selected Talk-
group Alias appears
on the display.

English
PASSPORT
TRUNKING
Roaming and Registering Between Sites
Once initial registration with the PassPort
system has occurred, your radio constantly
monitors the RSSI to ensure an acceptable
signal level is maintained (as programmed by
your dealer). When the RSSI in the radio falls
below this acceptable level, the HT1250•LS+
attempts to roam to and register onto another
site within the PassPort system.
This process happens automatically and
requires no action by you. What you see:
Note: If the radio per-
forms a more exten-
sive frequency

attempt successful
registration, you may

ROAM REQUEST
Because of the RSSI feature, the HT1250•LS+
radio automatically roams to a different site
when the signal from the registered site
becomes too weak for quality communication.
This RSSI threshold is programmed by your
dealer. However, if you believe the signal
strength would be better on another site, you
may want to manually initiate the roaming
process. This feature is called Roam Request.
