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.

English

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.

Attaching the Battery
Align the battery with
the rails on the back
of the radio. Press the
battery firmly, and
slide upward until the
latch snaps into place.
Slide battery latch into
lock position.

NAG-LACR-EMEA.book Page 3 Monday, April 28, 2008 4:59 PM

Attaching the Belt Clip
Align the grooves on the clip with those on
the battery and press downward until you
hear a click.
To remove the clip, press the belt clip tab
away from the battery using a key. Then
slide the clip upward and away from the
radio.

antenna counterclockwise. Make sure
you turn off the radio and remove the
universal connector cover first.

Caution

If antenna needs to be replaced, ensure that only
MOTOTRBO antennas are used. Neglecting this will
damage your radio. See Antennas on page 60 for a
list of available antennas.

Attaching the Universal Connector Cover
The universal connector is located on the antenna side of the
radio. It is used to connect MOTOTRBO accessories to the
radio.

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.
Additionally, 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 as your radio will be able to unscramble
the transmission. See Privacy on page 50 for more
information.
Your radio supports two Contacts lists, one for Analog contacts
(with a maximum of 128 members) and one for Digital contacts
(with a maximum of 256 members).
Each entry within Contacts displays the following information:

• Call Type
• Call Alias
• Call ID

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.

Advanced Features

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.
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must have the same Privacy Key (programmed by your
dealer) as the transmitting radio. If your radio receives a
scrambled call that is of a different Privacy Key, you will hear a
garbled transmission.
The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and
blinks green rapidly 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.

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.

English

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
granted by implication, estoppel or otherwise under MOTOROLA
patent rights or copyrights.
