BATTERY INFORMATION

Battery Care and Tips

This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium (NiCd)

or a nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) rechargeable

battery.

The following battery tips will help you obtain the

highest performance and longest cycle life from your

Motorola rechargeable battery.

• Charge your new battery overnight (14-16

hours) before using it to obtain maximum

battery capacity and performance.

• Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead

to battery damage and void the battery warranty.

• When charging a battery that is attached to the

radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

• The battery should be at about 25°C (room

temperature) whenever possible. Charging a

cold battery (below 10°C) may result in leakage

of electrolyte and ultimately, in failure of the

battery.

• Charging a hot battery (above 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 the battery is charged

within these temperature limits.

• New batteries can be stored up to two years

without significant cycle loss. Store new/unused

batteries in a cool dry area.

• Batteries which have been in storage should be

charged overnight.

• Do not return fully charged batteries to the

charger for an “extra boost”. This action will

significantly reduce cycle life.

• Do not leave your radio and battery in the

charger when not charging. Continuous charging

will shorten battery life. (Do not use your charger

as a radio stand.)

• For optimum battery life and operation use only

Motorola brand chargers. They were designed to

operate as an integrated energy system.

GETTING STARTED

Recycling or Disposal of

Batteries

At the end of its useful life, the NiCd battery

can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may

not be available in all areas.

Motorola endorses and encourages the recycling of

all re-chargeable batteries. Contact your local

Motorola dealer for further information.

Charging your Battery

When the battery level is very low, a blinking red

LED indicator lights up during transmit mode, and

an alert tone sounds. You will need to recharge the

battery before you can continue to use your radio.

Place the radio with the battery attached or the

battery alone in the charger. The charger’s LED

indicator will indicate the charging progress.

NOTE: Since new batteries or batteries that have

not been used for several months could

prematurely indicate full charge (solid green

LED), charge the batteries for 14 to 16 hours

prior to initial use to achieve optimal

performance.

* Remove the battery from charger and use a pencil eraser to

Place the battery back into the charger. If the LED indicator

continues to ?ash red, replace the battery.

† A standard battery may require one hour to charge to 90%

capacity.

TURNING THE RADIO ON OR OFF ADJUSTING THE RADIO’S VOLUME

If one of the radio side buttons has been

programmed as a Volume Set button by your

Your radio offers 16 channels for easy access to

required conventional channels. Some channels on

your radio may not be programmed. Check with

your dealer for more information.

1. Turn the On-Off/Volume Control knob

clockwise to turn on the radio. You will hear

the Self Test Pass Tone ( ) and

see a green LED if the radio powers up suc-

cessfully. If the radio fails its self test, you will

hear the Self Test Fail Tone ( ).

Switch off and on again and if fault persists

contact your dealer.

2. To turn off the radio, turn the On-Off/Volume

Control knob counter-clockwise, until you

hear a click.

ON OFF

1. Press and hold the preprogrammed Volume

Set button; you will hear a continuous tone.

RADIO CALL INFORMATION

RADIO CALL INFORMATION

REPEATER OR TALKAROUND MODE

Talkaround Mode enables you to communicate with

another radio when either:

• the repeater is not operating

—or—

• your radio is out of the repeater’s range but

within communicating distance of another

radio.

Press the Repeater/Talkaround button (only

available if programmed by your dealer) to toggle

between the two modes. A positive indicator tone

indicates that the radio is in talkaround mode, while

a negative indicator tone indicates that the radio is

in repeater mode.

SETTING TIGHT OR NORMAL SQUELCH

Use this feature to filter out nuisance (unwanted)

calls and/or background noise. However, tightening

squelch could cause calls from remote locations to

be filtered out as well. In this case, normal squelch

may be more desirable.

Press the Squelch button (only available if

programmed by your dealer) to toggle between tight

and normal squelch. A positive indicator tone

indicates that the radio is operating in tight squelch,

while a negative indicator tone indicates that the

radio is operating in normal squelch.

SETTING THE POWER LEVEL

Your radio has a predefined transmit power level

that can be changed.

•High power allows the radio to transmit over

greater distances.

•Low power conserves the battery’s charge.

Press the Power Level button (only available if

programmed by your dealer) to toggle between low

and high transmit power level. A positive indicator

tone indicates that the radio is in high power mode,

while a negative indicator tone indicates that the

radio is in low power mode.

15 English

SCAN

SCAN

You can monitor several channels in order to

receive any call that is transmitted on any of these

channels.

Once the radio’s scan operation is activated and the

radio detects a call coming through a channel in its

scan list, it switches to that channel for you to

receive the call.

STARTING OR STOPPING A SCAN

OPERATION

To start or stop a scan operation:

NOTE: The LED indicator will blink (green) during a

scan operation.

TALKBACK

If the programmable Talkback option is set, you can

respond to any calls received during the scan

operation by pressing the PTT before the

programmed hang-time ends. Check with your

dealer for details.

DELETING A NUISANCE CHANNEL

If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or

noise (a “nuisance” Channel), you can temporarily

remove it from the scan list by performing a

Nuisance Channel Delete operation.

NOTE: You cannot perform a Nuisance Channel

Delete on a priority channel or if there is only

one remaining channel in the scan list.

1. Press the Scan button (only available if

programmed by your dealer) to start a scan

operation. You will hear a positive indicator

tone.

2. Press the preprogrammed Scan button again

to stop the scan operation. You will hear a

negative indicator tone.

1. While the radio is on the Nuisance Channel,

press the Nuisance Channel Delete button

(only available if programmed by your dealer)

until you hear a tone.

2. Release the Nuisance Channel Delete

button. The nuisance channel is deleted.

PRIORITIZATION OF A SCAN LIST

MEMBER

You may want your radio to check a particular

channel more frequently for calls. Prioritization of

scan list members is done by your dealer using the

Customer Programming Software. Check with your

dealer for details.

Even though your radio has switched to a non-

priority channel, your radio will still check for activity

on the priority channel. If activity is detected the

radio will switch to the priority channel.

1. Press the Scan button to stop the scan

operation.

2. Press the Scan button again to re-start the

scan operation. The Deleted Nuisance

Channel is reinstated to the scan list.
