Handling PrecautionsThe MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meetsIP57 specifications, allowing the radio to withstandadverse field conditions such as being submersed inwater.

• If the radio has been submersed in water, shakethe radio well to remove any water that may betrapped inside the speaker grille and microphoneport. Trapped water could cause decreased audioperformance.

• If the radio’s battery contact area has beenexposed to water, clean and dry battery contactson both the radio and the battery before attachingthe battery to the radio. The residual water couldshort-circuit the radio.

• If the radio has been submersed in a corrosivesubstance (e.g. saltwater), rinse the radio andbattery in fresh water then dry the radio andbattery.

• To clean the exterior surfaces of the radio, use adiluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent andfresh water (i.e. one teaspoon of detergent to onegallon of water).

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

• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with alabel.

• Ensure that no oily substances come in contactwith the vent.

• The radio with antenna attached properly isdesigned to be submersible to a maximum depthof 1 meter (3.28 feet) and a maximum submersiontime of 30 minutes. Exceeding either maximumlimit or use without antenna may result in damageto the radio.

• When cleaning the radio, do not use a highpressure jet spray on the radio as this will exceedthe 1 meter depth pressure and may cause waterto leak into the radio.

Caution: Do not disassemble the radio. Thiscould damage radio seals and result in leakpaths into the radio. Radio maintenanceshould only be done in service depot that isequipped to test and replace the seal on theradio.

Advanced Features in Connect PlusMode

Auto FallbackAuto Fallback is a system feature that allows you tocontinue to make and receive non-emergency callson the selected Group Contact in the event of certaintypes of Connect Plus system failures.

If one of these failures occurs, your radio attempts toroam to a different Connect Plus site. This searchprocess may result in your radio finding an operableConnect Plus site, or it may result in your radio findinga “Fallback Channel” (if your radio is enabled for AutoFallback). A Fallback Channel is a repeater that isnormally part of an operable Connect Plus site, but iscurrently unable to communicate with either its sitecontroller or the Connect Plus network. In Fallbackmode, the repeater operates as a single digitalrepeater. Auto Fallback Mode supports non-emergency Group Calls only. No other call types aresupported in Fallback Mode.

Indications of Auto Fallback Mode

When your radio is using a Fallback channel, youhear the intermittent “Fallback Tone” approximatelyonce every 15 seconds (except while transmitting).The display periodically shows a brief message,“Fallback Channel”. Your radio only permits PTT onthe selected Group Contact (Group Call, MultigroupCall, or Site All Call). It does not allow you to makeother types of calls.

Making/Receiving Calls in Fallback Mode

Note: Calls are heard only by radios that aremonitoring the same Fallback channel and selectedto the same Group. Calls are not networked to othersites or other repeaters.

Emergency voice calls or Emergency Alerts are notavailable in Fallback mode. If you press theemergency button in Fallback mode, the radioprovides an invalid key press tone. Display-equippedradios also show the message, “Feature notavailable”.

Private (radio to radio) and Phone calls are notavailable in Fallback mode. If you attempt a call to aprivate contact, you will receive a denial tone. At this

English

point you should select a desired group contact.Other non-supported calls include Remote Monitor,Call Alert, Radio Check, Radio Enable, RadioDisable, Text messaging, Location Updates, andpacket data calls.

Enhanced Traffic Channel Access (ETCA) is notsupported in Auto Fallback mode. If two or more radiousers press PTT at the same time (or at almost thesame time), it is possible that both radios transmituntil PTT is released. In this event, it is possible thatnone of the transmissions will be understood byreceiving radios.

Making calls in Fallback mode is similar to normalfunctioning. Simply select the group contact you wishto use (using the radio’s normal channel selectionmethod), and then press the PTT to start your call. Itis possible that the channel may be in use already byanother group. If the channel is in use, you receive abusy tone and the display will say “Channel Busy”.You may select Group, Multi-group or Site All Callcontacts using your radio’s normal channel selectionmethod. While the radio is operating on the FallbackChannel, the Multigroup operates just like otherGroups. It is only heard by radios that are currentlyselected to the same Multi-group.

Returning to Normal Operation

If the site returns to normal trunking operation whileyou are in range of your Fallback repeater, your radioautomatically exits Auto Fallback mode. You hear aregistration “beep” when the radio successfullyregisters. If you are in the range of an operable site(that is not in Fallback mode), you may press theRoam Request button (if programmed for your radio)to force your radio to search for and register on anavailable site. If no other site is available, your radioreturns to Auto Fallback mode after searching iscomplete. If you drive out of coverage of yourFallback repeater, your radio enters Search mode(display indicates “Searching”).

Radio CheckIf enabled, this feature allows you to determine ifanother radio is active in a system without disturbingthe user of that radio. No audible or visual notificationis shown on the target radio.

This feature is only applicable for subscriber aliasesor IDs.

Scan can be turned on or off from the menu or bypressing a programmed Scan On/Off button.

This feature functions only when the radio is notcurrently involved in a call. If you are presentlylistening to a call, your radio cannot scan for othergroup calls, and is therefore unaware they are inprogress. Once your call is finished, your radioreturns to the control channel time slot and is able toscan for groups that are in the scan list.

Add or Delete a Group via the Add MembersMenu

The Connect Plus radio does not allow a duplicategroup number or a duplicate group alias to be placedon a zone scan list (or to be shown as a “scancandidate”). Thus, the list of “scan candidates”described in steps 6 and 7 sometimes changes afteradding or deleting a group from the zone scan list.

If your radio has been programmed to allow you toedit the scan list, you can use the Add Membersmenu to add a group to the scan list of the currentlyselected zone, or to delete a group from the san list ofthe currently selected zone.

There are some circumstances in which you can misscalls for groups that are in your scan list. When youmiss a call for one of the following reasons, this doesnot indicate a problem with your radio. This is anormal scan operation for Connect Plus.

• Scan feature is not turned on (check for the scanicon on the display).

• Scan list member has been disabled via the menu(see Editing the Scan List on page 204).

• You are participating in a call already.• No member of the scanned group is registered at

your site (Multisite systems only).

Scan TalkbackIf your radio scans into a call from the selectablegroup scan list, and if the PTT button is pressedduring the scanned call, the operation of the radio


onnect Plus M

ode

depends on whether Scan Talkback was enabled ordisabled during radio programming. For moreinformation on how your radio is programmed,contact your radio dealer (or your radio systemadministrator).

ScanTalkbackDisabled

The radio leaves the scanned call andattempts to transmit on the contact forthe currently selected channelposition. After the Call Hang Time onthe currently selected contact expires,the radio returns to the home channeland starts the Scan Hang Time Timer.The radio resumes group scan after itsScan Hang Time Timer expires.

ScanTalkbackEnabled

If the PTT button is pressed during theGroup Hang Time of the scanned call,the radio attempts to transmit to thescanned group.

Note: If you scan into a call for a group that is notassigned to a channel position in the currentlyselected zone and you miss the Hang Time of thecall, switch to the proper zone and then select thechannel position of the group to talk back to thatgroup.

Contacts SettingsNote: You can add, or edit subscriber IDs for ConnectPlus Contacts. Deleting subscriber IDs can only beperformed by your dealer.

If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, youcan make a privacy-enabled voice call on thatchannel. Only target radios with the same PrivacyKey OR the same Key Value and Key ID as yourradio are able to unscramble the transmission.

Contacts provide “address-book” capabilities on yourradio. Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID thatyou use to initiate a call.

Each zone provides a Contact List with up to 100contacts. The following contact types are available:

• Private Call• Group Call• Multigroup Call• Site All Call Voice• Site All Call Text• Dispatch CallA

Emergency OperationNote: If your radio is programmed for “Silent” or“Silent with voice” emergency initiation, in most casesit automatically exits silent operation after theEmergency Call or Emergency Alert is finished. Theexception to this rule is when “Emergency Alert” is theconfigured Emergency Mode and “Silent” is theconfigured Emergency Type. If your radio isprogrammed in this manner, the silent operationcontinues until you cancel silent operation by

pressing PTT or the button configured for“Emergency Off”.

Emergency voice calls and Emergency Alerts are notsupported when operating in Connect Plus AutoFallback mode. For more information see the AutoFallback on page 198.

When your radio is selected to a Connect Plus zone,it supports three Emergency modes:

• Emergency Call – You must press the PTT buttonto talk on the assigned emergency time slot.

• Emergency Call with Voice to Follow – For thefirst transmission on the assigned emergency timeslot, the microphone is automatically unmuted andyou may talk without pressing the PTT button. Themicrophone stays “hot” in this fashion for a timeperiod programmed into the radio. For subsequenttransmissions in the same Emergency call, youmust press the PTT button.

• Emergency Alert – An Emergency Alert is not avoice call. It is an emergency notification that is

sent to radios that are configured to receive thesealerts. The radio sends an emergency alert via thecontrol channel of the currently registered site.The Emergency Alert is received by radios in theConnect Plus network that are programmed toreceive them (no matter which network site theyare registered to).

Only ONE of the Emergency Modes can be assignedto the Emergency button per zone. In addition, eachEmergency mode has the following types:

• Regular – Radio initiates an Emergency andshows audio and/or visual indicators.

• Silent – Radio initiates an Emergency without anyaudio or visual indicators. The radio will suppressall audio or visual indications of the Emergencyuntil you press the PTT button to start a voicetransmission.

• Silent with Voice – The same as Silent operation,except that the radio will also unmute for somevoice transmissions.

Receiving an Incoming Emergency

Your radio may be programmed to sound an alerttone and also display information about the incomingEmergency. If so programmed, upon receiving the

incoming Emergency, the display shows theEmergency Details screen with the emergency icon,the Alias or ID of the radio that requested theEmergency, the Group Contact being used for theEmergency, and one additional line of information.The additional information is the name of the zonethat contains the Group Contact.

At the present time, the radio displays only the mostrecently decoded Emergency. If a new Emergency isreceived before the prior Emergency is cleared, thedetails for the new Emergency replace the details ofthe previous Emergency.

Depending on how your radio has been programmed,the Emergency Details screen (or Alarm List screen)will stay on your radio’s display even after theEmergency ends. You can save the emergencydetails to the Alarm List, or you can delete theemergency details as described in the followingsections.

This section describes the Connect Plus Man DownFeature. This is a purchasable feature that may ormay not apply to your radio.

Your Connect Plus portable radio can be enabled andprogrammed for one or more of the Man DownAlarms. Your dealer or radio system administrator cantell you whether or not this applies to your radio andwhich specific Man Down Alarms have been enabledand programmed.

If your radio has been programmed for one or more ofthe following Man Down Alarms, it is important for you

to understand how the Alarm works, what indication(tones) your radio provides, and the action you shouldtake.

The purpose of the Man Down Alarms is to alertothers when you might be in danger. This isaccomplished by programming your radio to detect acertain angle of tilt, lack of movement, or movement,depending on which Man Down Alarm(s) is/areenabled. If your radio detects a disallowed movementtype, and if the condition is not corrected in a certainperiod of time, the radio starts to play an Alert Tone (ifso programmed). At this point you should immediatelytake one or more of the corrective actions discussedbelow, depending on which Man Down Alarm(s) has/have been enabled for your radio. If you do not takecorrective action within a certain period of time, yourradio automatically starts an Emergency (either anEmergency Call or Emergency Alert).

• Tilt Alarm – When your radio is tilted at or beyonda specified angle for a period of time, it plays anAlert Tone (if so programmed). To prevent theradio from automatically starting an EmergencyCall or Emergency Alert, restore the radio to thevertical position immediately.

Checking for Updates

Connect Plus provides the ability to update certainfiles (Option Board Codeplug, Network FrequencyFile and Option Board Firmware File) over-the-air.

Note: Check with the dealer or network administratorto determine whether this feature has been enabledfor your radio.

Any display Connect Plus radio has the ability toshow its current Option Board OTA Codeplug CRC,Frequency File version or Option Board firmware fileversion via a menu option. In addition, display radiosthat have been enabled for over-the-air file transfercan display the version of a "pending file". A "pendingfile" is a Frequency File or Option Board firmware filethat the Connect Plus radio knows about via systemmessaging, but the radio has not yet collected all ofthe file’s packets. If a display Connect Plus radio hasa pending file, the menu provides options to:

• See the version number of the pending file.• See what percentage of packets has been

collected so far.

• Request the Connect Plus radio to resumecollecting file packets.

If the radio is enabled for Connect Plus over-the-airfile transfer, there may be times when the radioautomatically joins a file transfer without first notifyingthe radio user. While the radio is collecting filepackets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the radiodisplays the High Volume Data icon on the HomeScreen status bar.

Note: The Connect Plus radio cannot collect filepackets and receive calls at the same time. If youwish to cancel the file transfer, press and release thePTT button. This causes the radio to request a call onthe selected Contact Name, and it will also cancel thefile transfer for that radio until the process resumes ata later time.

There are several things that can make the filetransfer process start again. The first example appliesto all over-the-air file types. The other examples applyonly to the Network Frequency File and Option BoardFirmware File:

• The radio system administrator re-initiates theover-the-air file transfer.

• The Option Board's pre-defined timer expires,which causes the Option Board to automaticallyresume the process of collecting packets.

• The timer has not yet expired, but the radio userrequests the file transfer to resume via the menuoption.

After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading allfile packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquiredfile. For the Network Frequency File, this is anautomatic process and does not require a radio reset.For the Option Board Codeplug File, this is anautomatic process that will cause a brief interruptionto service as the Option Board loads the newcodeplug information and re-acquires a network site.How quickly the radio upgrades to a new OptionBoard firmware file depends on how the radio hasbeen configured by the dealer or systemadministrator. The radio will either upgradeimmediately after collecting all file packets, or it willwait until the next time that the user turns the radioon.

Note: Check with your dealer or system administratorto determine how your radio has been programmed.

The process of upgrading to a new Option Boardfirmware file takes several seconds, and it requires

the Connect Plus Option Board to reset the radio.Once the upgrade starts, the radio use will not beable to make or receive calls until the process iscompleted.
