Important Safety Information
Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance

Important Safety Information

Before using this product, read the operating
instructions for safe usage contained in the
Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet
enclosed with your radio.

ATTENTION!

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.

This radio is restricted to occupational use only to
satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements.
Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness
information and operating instructions in the Regulatory
Compliance and Product Safety section of your Quick
Reference Guide enclosed with your radio (Motorola
Publication part number 68009503001) to ensure
compliance with RF energy exposure limits.

See Checking the Firmware Version and Codeplug
Version on page 95 to determine your radio's software
version.

Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets
IP57 specifications, allowing the radio to withstand
adverse field conditions such as being submersed in
water.

• If the radio has been submersed in water, shake the
radio well to remove any water that may be trapped
inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped
water could cause decreased audio performance.

Handling Precautions

• If the radio’s battery contact area has been exposed to
water, clean and dry battery contacts on both the radio
and the battery before attaching the battery to the
radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.

• If the radio has been submersed in a corrosive
substance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio and battery
in fresh water then dry the radio and battery.

• 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).

x
English

• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis
below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure
equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak
path into the radio and the radio’s submersibility may
be lost.

• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.
• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the
vent.

• The radio with antenna attached properly is designed to
be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 meter (3.28
feet) and a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes.
Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna
may result in damage to the radio.

• When cleaning the radio, do not use a high pressure jet
spray on the radio as this will exceed the 1 meter depth
pressure and may cause water to leak into the radio.
Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Radio maintenance should only be
done in service depot that is equipped to test
and replace the seal on the radio.

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

Identifying Radio Controls

The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic
purposes:

PTT Button

• 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 27).

12
English

If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On
or Off on page 86) 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
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.

Switching Between Conventional Analog
and Digital Mode

Channel
Selector
Knob

This feature allows your radio to extend conventional
communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting
to different available sites which are connected via an Internet
Protocol (IP) network.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the
range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater 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 repeater with the strongest Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.

When switching from digital to analog mode, certain features
are unavailable. Icons for the digital features (such as
Messages) reflect this change by appearing ‘grayed out’.
Disabled features are hidden in the menu.
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
page 41).

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.

Identifying Radio Controls

Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional
analog or conventional digital channel. Use the Channel
Selector Knob to switch between an analog or a digital channel.

IP Site Connect

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

English

NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the roam
list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.

Identifying Radio Controls

Capacity Plus

Linked Capacity Plus
Linked Capacity Plus is a multi-site multi-channel trunking
configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combining the
best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect configurations.

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.

Linked Capacity Plus allows your radio to extend trunking
communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting
to different available sites which are connected via an Internet
Protocol (IP) network. It also provides an increase in capacity by
efficiently utilizing the combined available number of
programmed channels supported by each of the available sites.

Icons of features not applicable to Capacity Plus are not
available in the menu. You hear a negative indicator tone if you
try to access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus via a
programmable button press.

When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the
range of another, it connects to the new site's repeater to send
or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings,
this is done automatically or manually.

Your radio also has features that are available in conventional
digital mode, IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus and Linked
Capacity Plus. However, the minor differences in the way each
feature works does NOT affect the performance of your radio.

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 repeater with the strongest Received
Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.

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

14
English

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.
Any channel with Linked Capacity Plus enabled can be added
to a particular roam list. The radio searches these channels
during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

Similar to Capacity Plus, icons of features not applicable to
Linked Capacity Plus are not available in the menu. You hear a
negative indicator tone if you try to access a feature not
applicable to Linked Capacity Plus via a programmable button
press.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information on this configuration.

Privacy

Advanced Features

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.

The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and
double blinks green when the radio is receiving an ongoing
privacy-enabled transmission.
NOTE: Some radio models may not offer this Privacy feature.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.

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 privacyenabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear
(unscrambled) transmissions.

Procedure:
Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or
off.

To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must be programmed to 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).

simply position your radio and Bluetooth-enabled device closer
to each other (within the 10-meter defined range) to re-establish
clear audio reception. Your radio’s Bluetooth function has a
maximum power of 2.5 mW (4 dBm) at the 10-meter range.
Your radio can support up to 3 simultaneous Bluetooth
connections with Bluetooth-enabled devices of unique types.
For example, a headset, a scanner, and a PTT-Only Device
(POD). Multiple connections with Bluetooth-enabled devices of

MOTOROLA will defend, at its own expense, any suit brought

purchaser of any notice of such claim;

suit and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; and
C)should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA’s opinion
be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a
United States patent, that such purchaser will permit
MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for
such purchaser the right to continue using the Product or parts or
to replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing
or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as
depreciated and accept its return. The depreciation will be an
equal amount per year over the lifetime of the Product or parts as
established by MOTOROLA.

MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent
infringement which is based upon the combination of the Product or
parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or devices not
furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability
for the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by
MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the
Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA
with respect to infringement of patents by the Product or any parts
thereof.
