IntroductionThis user guide covers the operation of the MOTOTRBOradios.Your dealer or system administrator may have customizedyour radio for your specific needs. Check with your dealeror system administrator for more information.You can consult your dealer or system administrator aboutthe following:• Is your radio programmed with any preset conventionalchannels?• Which buttons have been programmed to access otherfeatures?• What optional accessories may suit your needs?• What are the best radio usage practices for effectivecommunication?• What maintenance procedures that helps promotelonger radio life?Icon InformationThroughout this publication, the icons described are usedto indicate features supported in either the conventionalanalog or conventional digital mode.Indicates a conventional Analog Mode-Only feature.Indicates a conventional Digital Mode-Only feature.For features that are available in both conventional analogand digital modes, both icons are not shown.Conventional Analog and DigitalModesEach channel in your radio can be configured as aconventional analog or conventional digital channel.Certain features are unavailable when switching fromdigital to analog mode. The icons for digital features reflectEnglishSend Feedback 23
this change by appearing “grayed out”. The disabledfeatures are hidden in the menu.Your radio also has features available in both analog anddigital modes. The minor differences in the way eachfeature works do not affect the performance of your radio.NOTICE:Your radio also switches between digital and analogmodes during a dual mode scan. See Scan on page68 for more information.IP Site ConnectThis feature allows your radio to extend conventionalcommunication beyond the reach of a single site byconnecting to different available sites by using an InternetProtocol (IP) network.When the radio moves out of range from one site and intothe range of another, the radio connects to the repeater ofthe new site to send or receive calls or data transmissions.This is done either automatically or manually depending onyour settings.In an automatic site search, the radio scans through allavailable sites when the signal from the current site is weakor when the radio is unable to detect any signal from thecurrent site. The radio then locks on to the repeater withthe strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)value.In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next sitein the roam list that is currently in range but which may nothave the strongest signal and locks on to the repeater.NOTICE:Each channel can only have either Scan or Roamenabled, not both at the same time.Channels with this feature enabled can be added to aparticular roam list. The radio searches the channels in theroam list during the automatic roam operation to locate thebest site. A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels,including the selected channel.NOTICE:You cannot manually add or delete an entry in theroam list. Check with your dealer or systemadministrator for more information.Capacity PlusCapacity Plus is an entry-level trunked system for singleand multiple sites. The single and multi-site dynamictrunking offers better capacity and coverage.English24 Send Feedback
Capacity Plus–Single-SiteCapacity Plus–Single-Site is a single-site trunkingconfiguration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which usesa pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to254 Groups. This feature allows your radio to efficientlyutilize the available number of programmed channels whilein Repeater Mode.You hear a negative indicator tone if you try to access afeature not applicable to Capacity Plus–Single-Site byusing a programmable button press.Your radio also has features that are available inconventional digital mode, IP Site Connect, and CapacityPlus. However, the minor differences in the way eachfeature works does not affect the performance of yourradio.Check with your dealer or system administrator for moreinformation on this configuration.Capacity Plus–Multi-SiteCapacity Plus–Multi-Site is a multi-channel trunkingconfiguration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combiningthe best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connectconfigurations.Capacity Plus–Multi-Site allows your radio to extendtrunking communication beyond the reach of a single site,by connecting to different available sites which areconnected with an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It alsoprovides an increase in capacity by efficiently utilizing thecombined available number of programmed channelssupported by each of the available sites.When the radio moves out of range from one site and intothe range of another, it connects to the repeater of the newsite to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Dependingon your settings, this is done automatically or manually.If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans throughall available sites when the signal from the current site isweak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal fromthe current site. It then locks on to the repeater with thestrongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next sitein the roam list that is currently in range (but which may nothave the strongest signal) and locks on to it.Any channel with Capacity Plus–Multi-Site enabled can beadded to a particular roam list. The radio searches thesechannels during the automatic roam operation to locate thebest site.EnglishSend Feedback 25
NOTICE:You cannot manually add or delete an entry to theroam list. Check with your dealer or systemadministrator for more information.Similar to Capacity Plus–Single Site, icons of features notapplicable to Capacity Plus–Multi-Site are not available inthe menu. You hear a negative indicator tone if you try toaccess a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus–Multi-Siteby using a programmable button press.English26 Send Feedback
