Important Safety Information

Product Safety and RF Exposure Compliance

ATTENTION!

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.

For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and

other accessories, visit the following website:

http://www.motorolasolutions.com/governmentandenterprise

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.

Software Version

All the features described in the following sections are

supported by the radio's software version R02.04.00.

See Checking the Firmware Version and Codeplug

Version on page 95 to determine your radio's software

version.

Handling Precautions

English

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.

•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).

•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

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 27).

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

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.

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).

IP Site Connect

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.

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 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).

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.

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.

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.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more

information on this configuration.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Identifying Status Indicators

English

NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the

roam list. Check with your dealer or system

administrator for more information.

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.

•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.

Deleting a Nuisance Channel

If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise

(termed a “nuisance” channel), you can temporarily remove the

unwanted channel from the scan list.

This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the

Selected Channel.

Procedure:

1When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance

channel, press the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete

button until you hear a tone.

To restore the deleted nuisance channel, do one of the

following:

•Turn the radio off and then power it on again, OR

•Stop and restart a scan via the programmed Scan button or

menu, OR

•Change the channel via the Channel Selector Knob.

Vote Scan

Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where

there are multiple base stations transmitting identical

information on different analog channels.

Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and

performs a voting process to select the strongest received

signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to

transmissions from that base station.

The LED blinks yellow and the vote scan icon appears on the

status bar.

To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan, follow the

same procedures as Responding to a Transmission During a

Contacts Settings

Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.

Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate

a call.

Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five

types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or

Dispatch Call.

PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only

available with the applications. Refer to the data applications

documentation for more information.

NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you

can make privacy-enabled Group Call, Private Call,

and All Call on that channel. Only target radios with

the same Privacy Key OR the same Key Value and

Key ID as your radio are able to unscramble the

transmission.

See Privacy on page 72 for more information.

Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to a

programmable number key or more on a keypad. If an entry is

assigned to a number key, your radio can perform a quick dial

on the entry.

Your radio supports two Contacts lists, one for Analog contacts

and one for Digital contacts, with a maximum of 500 members

for each Contacts list.

Each entry within Contacts displays the following information:

•Call Type

•Call Alias

•Call ID

NOTE: You can add, or edit subscriber IDs for the Digital

Contacts list. Deleting subscriber IDs can only be

performed by your dealer.

For the Analog Contacts list, you can only view the

subscriber IDs, edit the subscriber IDs, and initiate a

Privacy

If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by

unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a software-

based 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 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).

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.

Procedure:

Bluetooth Operation

This feature allows you to use your radio with a Bluetooth-

enabled device (accessory) via a Bluetooth connection. Your

radio supports both Motorola and COTS (Commercially

available Off-The-Shelf) Bluetooth-enabled devices.

Bluetooth operates within a range of 10 meters line of sight.

This is an unobstructed path between your radio and your

Bluetooth-enabled device.

It is not recommended that you leave your radio behind and

expect your Bluetooth-enabled device to work with a high

degree of reliability when they are separated.

At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone quality will

start to sound "garbled" or "broken". To correct this problem,

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

the same type are not supported.

Refer to your respective Bluetooth-enabled device’s user

manual for more details on your Bluetooth-enabled device’s full

normal use and service for a period of time from the date of

purchase as scheduled below:

MOTOROLA, at its option, will at no charge either repair the

Product (with new or reconditioned parts), replace it (with a new or

obligations or liability for additions or modifications to this warranty

unless made in writing and signed by an officer of MOTOROLA.

MOTOROLA cannot be responsible in any way for any ancillary

VI. PATENT AND SOFTWARE PROVISIONS:

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

against the end user purchaser to the extent that it is based on a

claim that the Product or parts infringe a United States patent, and

MOTOROLA will pay those costs and damages finally awarded

against the end user purchaser in any such suit which are

attributable to any such claim, but such defense and payments are

conditioned on the following:

A) that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such

purchaser of any notice of such claim;

B) that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such

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.

Laws in the United States and other countries preserve for

MOTOROLA certain exclusive rights for copyrighted MOTOROLA

software such as the exclusive rights to reproduce in copies and

distribute copies of such MOTOROLA software. MOTOROLA

software may be used in only the Product in which the software was

originally embodied and such software in such Product may not be

replaced, copied, distributed, modified in any way, or used to

produce any derivative thereof. No other use including, without

limitation, alteration, modification, reproduction, distribution, or

reverse engineering of such MOTOROLA software or exercise of

rights in such MOTOROLA software is permitted. No license is
