3EnglishGENERAL INFORMATIONThank you for purchasing the Motorola GTX Privacy Plus®mobileradio. GTX mobile radios has ten (10) trunked modes with eight (8)talkgroups in each trunked mode, and ten (10) conventional chan-nels and are available in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz frequencyranges. Intelligent and flexible software increased the radio’s capa-bility and permits many of the radios features to be customized foryou.ARNING:When installing or removing the mobile radio from thevehicle, the radio must be turned off.WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, AND NOTESThroughout the text in this publication, you will notice the use ofWarnings,Cautions,andNotes. These notations are used toemphasize that safety hazards exist, and care must be taken orobserved.ARNING:An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc.,which may result in injury or death if not carefullyobserved.AUTION:An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc.,which may result in damage to the equipment if not care-fully observed.OTE:An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc., which is essentialto emphasize.!WThis user guide describes the way a standard radio works.Since standard operation may be changed by programming -both concerning the Functions which the radio includes andthe Buttons used to activate them - the way your radio oper-ates may differ from what is described here.If in doubt, contact the person in charge of your radio systemor your local service representative.!W!CNIntroduction
4EnglishMULTIPLE SELECTIONEach trunked mode may have its own unique set of talkgroups, CallAlert paging, and Private Conversation calls. After a trunked modehas been selected, there is a delay of approximately one secondbefore the radio can receive or transmit calls.TALKGROUP SELECTIONA trunked system can be divided into different talkgroups. Thisenables the system owner to organize the talkgroups into commu-nication groups according to function. Members of a specific talk-group hear only messages intended for their talkgroup. Forexample, if talkgroup B is selected, you will not receive messagesfor talkgroup E.FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES OF TRUNKINGThe GTX mobile radio can operate on both trunked and conven-tional radio systems. Conventional typically refers to radio-to-radiocommunication, sometimes through a repeater.A trunked radio system allows a large number of users to share arelatively small number of frequencies without interfering with eachother.The air time of all the repeaters in the trunked system is pooled,which maximizes the amount of air time available to any one radio,and minimizes channel congestion.Some of the overall key benefits of a Motorola Trunked Radio Sys-tem are:•No channel monitoring required prior to transmission.•Improved system access.•Automatic channel selection.•Increased privacy among members of the same group.•Only one attempt is required to access the system. If all chan-nels are busy, the call request enters a queue and the centralcontroller automatically assigns the next available channel. Two(2) medium-pitched tones followed by one (1) high-pitched tonesounds when the call can be made.Introduction
