Accessing the Programmed Functions
You can access various radio functions through one of the
following ways:

• A short or long press of the
relevant programmable buttons.

Identifying Radio Controls

• Use the Menu Navigation Buttons as follows:
1 To access the menu, press the S button. Press the
appropriate Menu Scroll button (Por Q) to access
the menu functions.

2 To select a function or enter a sub-menu, press the N
button.

3 To go back one menu level, or to return to the previous
screen, press the R button. Long press the R button
to return to the Home screen.

English

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button
The PTT button on the side of
the microphone serves two
basic purposes:

• While a call is in progress,
the PTT button allows the
radio to transmit to other
radios in the call.

PTT Button

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 16).
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.

NAG_6880309T15.book Page 7 Tuesday, March 9, 2010 11:47 AM

You can turn off the Channel Free Indication tone or the
PTT Sidetone
by disabling all radio tones and alerts
(see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on
page 60).

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.
You can only access channel(s) with Capacity Plus via the
Channel Rocker, while features supported in Capacity Plus can
be accessed via the menu and/or a programmable button press.
Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus will not be
available in the menu. You will hear a negative indicator tone if
you 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.

Identifying Radio Controls

You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your
call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an
Emergency Call.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information on this system.

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.
NOTE: Your radio also switches between digital and analog
modes during a dual mode scan (see Scan on

will only appear when you press the PTT button.
NOTE: If the Emergency Alarm request fails, the radio does
not retry to send the request, and enters the hot mic

Privacy
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by
unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a softwarebased 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
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 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).

NAG_6880309T15.book Page 51 Tuesday, March 9, 2010 11:47 AM

NOTE: Some radio models may not offer this Privacy feature.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.

If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the Home screen
shows the secure or unsecure icon, except when the radio is
sending or receiving an Emergency call or alarm.

IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend communication beyond
the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available
sites via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
NOTE: This feature is not applicable in Capacity Plus.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the
range of another, it connects to the new site's base station 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 base station with the strongest
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.

Advanced Features

The green LED lights up while the radio is transmitting and
blinks rapidly when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacyenabled transmission.

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 list
during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.
A Members list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including
the Selected Channel).
