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.
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 radios submersibility may be lost.
Handling Precautions
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.
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 radios 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.
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.
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).

Push-To-Talk (PTT) Button

The PTT button on the side of the radio serves two basic purposes:
While a call is not in progress, the PTT button is used to make

a new call (see Making a Radio Call on page 25). If the Talk Permit Tone (see Turning the Talk Permit Tone On or Off on page 93) 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. You will also hear the Channel Free Indication tone if your call is interrupted, for example when the radio receives an Emergency Call. 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 92).
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.

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.
Channel Selector Knob
Switching Between Internal and External Speakers
The BluetoothTM adaptor connected to the radio through the universal connector provides BluetoothTM connectivity for wireless audio routing between your radio and off-the-shelf BluetoothTM headset. You hear a momentary tone, if a BluetoothTM link is established or disconnected successfully between a BluetoothTM adaptor and a BluetoothTM device. Press the Audio Routing button to switch between an internal or an external speaker and a tone sounds. If you press the Audio Routing button when the BluetoothTM link is disconnected, a negative indicator tone sounds.
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 46).

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

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 will be able to unscramble the transmission. See Privacy on page 79 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:

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 privacyenabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear (unscrambled) transmissions. Your radio supports two types of privacy:
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. Procedure: Press the programmed Privacy button to toggle privacy on or off. OR Follow the procedure below.

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).

Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF)

The Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) feature allows the radio to operate in a radio system with an interface to telephone systems. Procedure: To initiate a DTMF call.
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. 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.

You can turn off the DTMF tone by disabling all radio tones and alerts (see Turning the Radio Tones/Alerts On or Off on page 92).
