Safety Information
Product Safety and RF Energy Exposure Booklet for Portable Two-Way
Radios
The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in
user guides published prior to February 2002.

BEFORE USING THIS RADIO, READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WHICH CONTAINS
IMPORTANT OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE AND RF ENERGY AWARENESS
AND CONTROL INFORMATION AND OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLIANCE WITH RF
ENERGY EXPOSURE LIMITS IN APPLICABLE NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL STAN-
DARDS. ALSO READ THE OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USAGE. FOR RADIOS THAT
HAVE BEEN APPROVED AS INTRINSICALLY SAFE, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
INFORMATION ON INTRINSIC SAFETY ON PAGE vii.

RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and

Operational Instructions for Occupational Use
NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users
have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to
meet the occupational limits in FCC and International standards. This radio
device is NOT authorized for general population or consumer use.

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or
radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other
forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be
confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause
biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic
material.

Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop
standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF
exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include
substantial margins of protection.

All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet
government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific
operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they
inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it.

Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how
to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html
http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations

The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable
two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a
consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their
exposure to meet occupational requirements.
iv

Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user
awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio has a RF exposure product label. Also, your
Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions
required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards

Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and
International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for
occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50%
listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only.

In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio
generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving
(listening) or in standby mode.

NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-
5% listen-90% standby) even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure
limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk.

Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and
guidelines:

• United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part
2 sub-part J
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers
(IEEE) C95. 1-1992
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998
• Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Elec-
tromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999
• Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation -
Human Exposure) Standard, 2003
• ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 "Regulation of limitation of exposure to
electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range between 9 KHz and
300 GHz" and "Attachment to resolution # 303 from July 2, 2002"
"Additional Requirements for SMR, Cellular and PCS Product Certification"

RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating

Instructions
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment
exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures.

Guidelines:
• Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met.
 v

Operating Instructions
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit (talk), push the Push-
To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or
less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when
transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance).
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and
other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters)
away from the nose or lips.
• Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper distance
is important since RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the
antenna.
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster,
case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is important
because the use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which
exceed the FCC occupational/controlled environment RF exposure limits.
• If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use posi-
tion in front of the face, ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least one inch (2.5 centime-
ters) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important
because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna.

Approved Accessories
• Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use
of Non-Motorola approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE)
and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines.
• For a list of Motorola-approved accessories, visit the following website, which lists approved
accessories for your radio model: http://www.motorola.com/governmentandenterprise.

Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if
inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.

Facilities

To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility
where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy.

Aircraft

When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in
accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions.

Medical Devices
Pacemakers

The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation
of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker.
These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
vi

Persons with pacemakers should:

• ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the
radio is turned ON.
• Not carry the radio in the breast pocket.
• Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference.
• Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.

Hearing Aids

Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine
if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.

Use of communication devices while driving

Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the areas where you drive.

• Give full attention to driving and to the road.

• Use hands-free operation, if available.
• Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions or regulations
so require.

Operational Warnings
For vehicle with air bags
Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic equipment to avoid
interference with air bag wiring.
Do not place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air
bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the
air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants
of the vehicle.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
(Explosive atmospheres refers to hazard classified locations that may contain hazardous gas,
vapors, or dusts.)
Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is
a portable radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as Intrinsically Safe (for example,
Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC).
Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive
atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fuelin g areas such
as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially
explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted.
Blasting Caps And Blasting Areas
To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are
near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio."
Obey all signs and instructions.
 vii

Operational Cautions
Antennas
Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with
your skin, a minor burn can result.

Batteries
All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such as burns, if a conductive material
such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may
complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any
charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal
objects.

Intrinsically Safe Radio Information

The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as intrinsically safe by
an approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL, or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular
product meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety standards for specific types of hazardous
classified locations. A portable radio that has been approved for intrinsic safety will have Approval
label attached to the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for specified hazardous
atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/Group along with the part number of
the battery that must be used. The intrinsically safe approval label will be located on the portable
radio unit.

Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe Equipment

• Do not operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type
especially qualified (for example, FM, UL, CSA, or CENELEC approved). An explosion or fire may
result.
• Do not operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe product in a hazardous
atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may
result.
• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while
installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire.

Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically Safe

Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and
the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC). Radios will not be upgraded to this
capability and labeled once they have been shipped to the field.
viii

A modification changes the unit's hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can
only be made by the original product manufacturer.

• Do not replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may

occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire.
• Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory.
• Do not disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal
circuits of the unit.
• Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically
approved for the radio unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an
unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location.
• Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will
negate the approval rating of the product.
• Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe Agency approved radio could
adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit.
• Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in
serious injury or death.

Repair
REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPROVAL ARE THE
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER.
• Repairs to a Motorola FM approved radio product should only be done at a location that
has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard.
• Contact Motorola for assistance regarding repairs and service of Motorola intrinsically
safe equipment.

A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original
condition.

Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not
require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner that exposes the internal electrical circuits
of the unit.

Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories

The Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency,
(FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC) is tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency
Approved portable, Approved battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved
portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items,
even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications
equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed by the Approving Agency (FM, UL, CSA,
CENELEC).

The intrinsically safe Approval label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of that
radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system.

The manual PN referenced on the intrinsically safe approval label identifies the approved
Accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit.

Using a non Motorola intrinsically safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio unit
will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit.

Section 2
MAINTENANCE

1.0 Introduction
This chapter provides details about the following:

• Preventive Maintenance
• Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices
• General Repair Procedures and Techniques
• Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio

2.0 Preventive Maintenance

Periodic visual inspection and cleaning is recommended.

2.1 Inspection
Check that the external surfaces of the radio are clean, and that all external controls and switches are
functional. It is not recommended to inspect the interior electronic circuitry.

2.2 Cleaning Procedures

The following procedures describe the recommended cleaning agents and the methods to be used
when cleaning the external and internal surfaces of the radio. External surfaces include the front cover,
housing assembly and battery case. These surfaces should be cleaned whenever a periodic visual
inspection reveals the presence of smudges, grease, and/or grime.

NOTE Internal surfaces should be cleaned only when the radio is disassembled for service or
repair.

The only recommended agent for cleaning the external radio surfaces is a 0.5% solution of a mild
dishwashing detergent in water. The only factory recommended liquid for cleaning the printed circuit
boards and their components is isopropyl alcohol (70% by volume).

CAUTION: The effects of certain chemicals and their vapors can have harmful results on certain plastics. Avoid
using aerosol sprays, tuner cleaners, and other chemicals.

Cleaning External Plastic Surfaces

Apply the 0.5% detergent-water solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to
work all loose dirt away from the radio. Use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth or tissue to remove the
solution and dry the radio. Make sure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks,
or crevices.
2-2 Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices

Cleaning Internal Circuit Boards and Components

Isopropyl alcohol (70%) may be applied with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush to dislodge
embedded or caked materials located in hard-to-reach areas. The brush stroke should direct the
dislodged material out and away from the inside of the radio. Make sure that controls or tunable
components are not soaked with alcohol. Do not use high-pressure air to hasten the drying process
since this could cause the liquid to collect in unwanted places. After completing of the cleaning
process, use a soft, absorbent, lintless cloth to dry the area. Do not brush or apply any isopropyl alcohol
to the frame, front cover, or back cover.

NOTE Always use a fresh supply of alcohol and a clean container to prevent contamination by
dissolved material (from previous usage).

3.0 Safe Handling of CMOS and LDMOS Devices

Complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) devices are used in this family of radios, and are
susceptible to damage by electrostatic or high voltage charges. Damage can be latent, resulting in
failures occurring weeks or months later. Therefore, special precautions must be taken to prevent device
damage during disassembly, troubleshooting, and repair.

Handling precautions are mandatory for CMOS circuits and are especially important in low humidity
conditions. DO NOT attempt to disassemble the radio without first referring to the following
CAUTION statement.

CAUTION: This radio contains static-sensitive devices. Do not open the radio unless you are properly
grounded. Take the following precautions when working on this unit:
• Store and transport all CMOS devices in conductive material so that all exposed leads are
shorted together. Do not insert CMOS devices into conventional plastic “snow” trays used for
storage and transportation of other semiconductor devices.
• Ground the working surface of the service bench to protect the CMOS device. We
recommend using the Motorola Static Protection Assembly (part number 0180386A82), which
includes a wrist strap, two ground cords, a table mat, and a floor mat.
• Wear a conductive wrist strap in series with a 100k resistor to ground. (Replacement wrist
straps that connect to the bench top covering are Motorola part number RSX-4015.)
• Do not wear nylon clothing while handling CMOS devices.
• Do not insert or remove CMOS devices with power applied. Check all power supplies used for
testing CMOS devices to be certain that there are no voltage transients present.
• When straightening CMOS pins, provide ground straps for the apparatus used.
• When soldering, use a grounded soldering iron.
• If at all possible, handle CMOS devices by the package and not by the leads. Prior to touching
the unit, touch an electrical ground to remove any static charge that you may have
accumulated. The package and substrate may be electrically common. If so, the reaction of a
discharge to the case would cause the same damage as touching the leads.
Repair Procedures and Techniques — General 2-3

4.0 Repair Procedures and Techniques — General

Parts Replacement and Substitution

When damaged parts are replaced, identical parts should be used. If the identical replacement part
is not locally available, check the parts list for the proper Motorola part number and order the part
from the nearest Motorola Communications parts center listed in the Piece Parts section of this
manual.

Rigid Circuit Boards

This family of radios uses bonded, multi-layer, printed circuit boards. Since the inner layers are not
accessible, some special considerations are required when soldering and unsoldering components. The
printed-through holes may interconnect multiple layers of the printed circuit. Therefore, exercise care to
avoid pulling the plated circuit out of the hole.

When soldering near the 20-pin and 40-pin connectors:

• Avoid accidentally getting solder in the connector.

• Be careful not to form solder bridges between the connector pins.
• Examine your work closely for shorts due to solder bridges.

Flexible Circuits

The flexible circuits are made from a different material than the rigid boards, and require different
soldering techniques. Excessive prolonged heat on a flexible circuit can damage the material.
Therefore, avoid excessive heat and excessive bending.

For parts replacement, use the ST-1087 Temperature-Controlled Solder Station with a 600-700
degree F tip, and use small diameter solder such as ST-633. The smaller size solder will melt faster and
require less heat to be applied to the circuit.

To replace a component on a flexible circuit:

1. Grasp with seizers (hemostats) the edge of the flexible circuit near the part to be removed.
2. Pull gently.
3. Apply the tip of the soldering iron to the component connections while pulling with the seizers.
NOTE Do not attempt to puddle-out components. Prolonged application of heat may damage the
flexible circuit.

Chip Components

Use either the RLN-4062 Hot-Air Repair Station or the Motorola 0180381B45 Repair Station for chip
component replacement. When using the 0180381B45 Repair Station, select the TJ-65 mini-
thermojet hand piece. On either unit, adjust the temperature control to 700 degrees F. (370 degrees
C), and adjust the airflow to a minimum setting. Airflow can vary due to component density.

• To remove a chip component, select a hot-air hand piece and position the nozzle of the hand
piece approximately 1/8” above the component to be removed. Begin applying the hot air.
Once the solder reflows, remove the component using a pair of tweezers. Using solder wick
and a soldering iron or a power desoldering station, remove the excess solder from the pads.
2-4 Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio — General

• To replace a chip component using a soldering iron, select the appropriate micro-tipped
soldering iron and apply fresh solder to one of the solder pads. Using a pair of tweezers,
position the new chip component in place while heating the fresh solder. Once solder wicks onto
the new component, remove the heat from the solder. Heat the remaining pad with the soldering
iron and apply solder until it wicks to the component. If necessary, touch up the first side. All solder
joints should be smooth and shiny.
• To replace a chip component using hot air, select the hot-air hand piece and reflow the solder
on the solder pads to smooth it. Apply a drop of solder paste flux to each pad. using a pair of
tweezers, position the new component in place. Position the hot-air hand piece approximately 1/8”
above the component and begin applying heat. Once the solder wicks to the component, remove
the heat and inspect the repair. All joints should be smooth and shiny.

5.0 Disassembling and Reassembling the Radio — General

For disassembly or reassembly of the radio, it is important to pay particular attention to all the snaps
and tabs, and how parts align with each other.

The following tools are required for disassembling the radio:

• Phillips screwdriver
• Flat head screwdriver
• Chassis Opener
• Crab Eye Nut Opener
• Tweezers

If a unit requires more complete testing or service than is customarily performed at the basic level,
send this unit to a Motorola Authorized Service Center.

RADIO PROGRAMMING

1.0 Introduction
The radios can be programmed using the Customer Programming Software (CPS).

2.0 Programming Your Radio

2.1 Overview of the Programming Process

To prepare properly programmed radios for your customers, you should

1. program your radio with all the necessary parameters, as required by your customers, and
then
2. clone these parameters over to all your customer‟s radios.

2.2 Cloning Radio Parameters to User Radios

Cloning duplicates the contents of Radio 1 (master radio) into Radio 2 (slave radio).

2.3 Parameters which are cloned

• Radio Configuration parameters
• Conventional Personality parameters

2.4 Parameters which are not cloned

• Unit Serial Number.
• Model Number

2.5 To Clone a Radio

Cloning duplicates the contents of your radio (master radio) into your customer‟s radio (slave radio).
Tuning and alignment information are not affected by cloning.

2.5.1 Setting Up the Master Radio

1. Turn off the radio.
2. Press and hold Programmable Button 1 (the top programmable button) and turn on the radio.
Keep pressing the Programmable Button 1 until beep is heard twice.
3. Release Programmable Button 1. Notice that the LED changes to RED.
4-2 CPS Programming

2.5.2 Setting Up the Slave Radio

1. Turn off the radio.
2. Press and hold Programmable Button 1(the top programmable button) and turn on the radio.
Keep pressing Programmable Button 1 until the beep is heard three times.
3. Release Programmable Button 1. Notice that the LED changes to GREEN.

2.5.3 Radio to Radio Cloning Procedures

1. Connect the cloning cable to both the Master and Slave radio.
2. Press and release Programmable Button 1 of the Slave radio.
3. Press and release Programmable Button 1 of the Master radio.
4. The LED for both radios show flashing orange during cloning.
5. Once cloning is completed, an „Out Chirp‟ alert tone can be heard from both radios.
6. Disconnect radios from the cloning cable. They are now ready for operation.

2.6 Error Conditions

An error may occur when cloning a radio. When this happens, the radio sounds a Faulty Condition
Alert tone and shows a Flashing Orange LED momentarily.

NOTE The LED will illuminate in RED and the radio will keep transmitting if the cloning cable is still
connected to the radio after cloning is completed. Please disconnect the cloning cable from

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Term Definition
Busy Channel If BCLO is activated, the radio will check for channel activity before transmit-
Lockout (BCLO) ting. If activity is detected, transmission is prohibited. For carrier squelch mode,
radio will not transmit, if it is receiving carrier. For coded squelch mode, it will
not transmit, if it is receiving carrier with different PL/DPL code.
Carrier An electromagnetic signal that is transmitted on a selected frequency for the
purpose of carrying voice or data transmissions along with it. Carrier can then
be received by all radios listening on that frequency.
CD Compact Disk.
Channel A single path separated by frequency or time divisions used for transmitting
and/or receiving voice and/or data.
Codeplug A solid-state chip inside a radio where the radio‟s personality data is stored.
CPS Acronym for Customer Programming Software. Licensed Motorola software
used to program two-way radios with a unique set of features.
Frequency (a) The location of the center of a channel of operation in the radio spectrum.
Measured in Megahertz (MHz).
(b) A computer speed. Measured in Megahertz (MHz).
Model Number The model number identifies the type of radio. This information is stored in the
radio‟s codeplug.
Normal Scan For Normal Scan, the radio assigns equal priority to all members in the Scan
List selected for the current channel. When the radio is scanning a Scan List
(Active Scan), all scan list members (including the Home Channel) will be allocated
equal time to be scanned. For example, if the Home Channel is H1, and
the Scan List Members are Nn, then the scanning sequence is: N1, N2, N3, ...,
H1, N1, N2, ..., etc.
PLL Phase-Locked Loop: a circuit in which an oscillator is kept in phase with a ref-
erence, usually after passing through a frequency divider.
Priority Scan For Priority Scan, the radio assigns the highest priority to the channel defined
in the CPS as Priority Channel. When the radio is scanning a Scan List (Active
Scan), 50% of the scans are targeted at the Priority Channel. For example, if
the Priority Channel is P1, and the non-priority Scan List Members are Nn, then
the scanning sequence is: P1, N1, P1, N2, P1, N3, P1, N4, P1, N5, etc.
Program The transfer of CPS information from the computer‟s temporary memory (RAM)
to the radio.
PTT Push-To-Talk: the switch located on the left side of the radio which, when
pressed, causes the radio to transmit.
RESET Reset line: an input to the microcontroller that restarts execution.
Reverse Burst / Causes a Tone Private Line (TPL) or Digital Private Line (DPL) code to be
Turn Off Code transmitted at the end of a transmission - once PTT is released, and while op-
erating on the current channel. This sub-audible tone causes the receiving ra-
dio to mute its speaker before loss of a carrier is detected. Muting the speaker
eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection.
G-2

Term Definition
ROM Read Only Memory.
Scan List The Scan List determines which channels the radio scans, when operating in
the Scan Mode, on the current channel.
Scan List Member The Scan List allows you to select the grouping of channels that make up the
current Scan List Member channels. This grouping of Scan List Member channels
can then be scanned for transmission activity - one at a time, when the radio is in
Scan Mode. A Scan List can have a maximum of 16 Scan List
Members. Scan List Member scanning priority is definable.
Scan Mode When the radio is in one of the two Scan States: Active Scan and Landed Scan.
This mode is initiated when the programmable SCAN button is pressed.
Serial Number Each radio has its own unique serial number. This information is stored in the
radio‟s codeplug.
Software Computer programs, procedures, rules, documentation, and data pertaining to
the operation of a system.
Squelch Muting of audio circuits when received signal levels fall below a pre-determined
value.
Tone Private Line Transmitted when the receiving radio is to only receive calls from radios with
(TPL) specific TPL codes, this creates communications groups while operating in
Conventional Dispatch mode. TPL allows for more use and privacy on a fre-
quency. TPL is transmitted at a sub-audible (not able to be heard) frequency.
Also known as CTCSS.
Tx Frequency A designated frequency used when transmitting carrier for the current channel.
µC Microcontroller.
UHF Ultra High Frequency.
VHF Very High Frequency.
