How to Use This Guide
This User Guide covers the basic operation of the MOTOTRBO
Non-Display Portables.
However, your dealer or system administrator may have
customized your radio for your specific needs. Check with your
dealer or system administrator for more information.
Throughout this publication, a note is shown for Conventional
mode and Trunking mode only features to differentiate the
features according to the two modes.
For features that are available in both Conventional and
Trunking modes, no note is shown.
What Your Dealer/System Administrator
Can Tell You
You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the
following:
•Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional
channels?
•Which buttons have been programmed to access other
features?
•What optional accessories may suit your needs?

Charging the Battery
Your radio is powered by a Nickel Metal-Hydride (NiMH) or
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.
Charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use for best
performance.
IMPORTANT:ALWAYS charge your IMPRES battery with the
IMPRES charger. Using a conventional charger
causes irrecoverable loss of IMPRES battery
data. As a result, the battery functions as a
non-IMPRES battery and cannot display the
data on your radio. Additionally, it voids your
IMPRES battery warranty, although the
standard battery warranty still applies.

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 14).
Depending on programming, if the Talk Permit Tone is enabled,
wait until the short alert tone ends before talking.
Switching Between Conventional and
Trunking Mode
Each channel in your radio
can be configured as a
conventional channel or a
trunking channel. Use the
Channel Selector Knob to
switch between a
conventional or a trunking
channel.
When switching from
conventional to trunking
mode, certain features are
unavailable.
Your radio also has features available in both conventional and
trunking mode. However, the minor differences in the way each
feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

The LED indicator shows the
operational status of your radio.
Blinking red –Radio is
transmitting at low battery
condition, receiving an emergency
transmission or has failed the self-
test upon powering up.
Solid yellow –Radio is in
Permanent Monitor mode, at a fair
battery condition, monitoring a
channel, or requested trunked call
has no voice channel or target is
busy.
Blinking yellow – Radio is scanning for activity or receiving a
Call Alert.
Solid green –Radio is transmitting or at a good battery
condition.
Blinking green –Radio is powering up, receiving a non-
privacy-enabled call or data, or detecting activity over the air.
NOTE: When the LED blinks green, it indicates the radio
detects activity over the air. Due to the nature of the
digital protocol, this activity may or may not affect the
radio's programmed channel.
Upon a PTT button press, if the radio is programmed
for polite operation, the radio automatically determines
whether a transmission is permitted via a Talk Permit
or a Talk Denial tone.

Using the Dynamic Regrouping Feature
This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign
selected radios to a single special channel so they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used
during special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio
technician.
You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled
until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
NOTE: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been
reserved by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped
mode for other users, an invalid tone sounds.
Procedure:
1When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically
switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. A “gurgle”
tone sounds.
2Press the PTT button to talk. Release PTT button to listen.
When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio

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.
Your radio supports up to 128 scan lists, with a maximum of 16
members in a list.
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.
There are two types of scans:
•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.

2When Scan is enabled, the LED blinks yellow and you hear
a positive indicator tone.
OR
When Scan is disabled, the LED turns off and you hear a
negative indicator tone.
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.
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.
