Scan
When you start a scan, your radio cycles through the
programmed scan list for the current channel looking for voice
activity.
Advanced Features
The yellow LED blinks and the scan icon appears on the status
bar.
Starting and Stopping Scan
Procedure:
Press the programmed Scan button to start or stop Scan. OR
Follow the procedure below.
1 Use the Left/ Right Navigation buttons to select a channel
programmed with a scan list.
During a dual mode scan, if you are on a digital channel, and
your radio locks onto an analog channel, it automatically
switches from digital mode to analog mode for the duration of
the call. This is also true for the reverse.
2
There are two ways of initiating scan:
4
• Main Channel Scan (Manual): Your radio scans all the
channels/groups in your scan list. On entering scan, your
radio may – depending on the settings – automatically start
on the last scanned “active” channel/group or on the channel
where scan was initiated.
• Auto Scan (Automatic): Your radio automatically starts
scanning when you select a channel/group that has Auto
Scan enabled.

While scanning, the radio can only accept data (e.g. text
message, location or PC data) if received on its Selected
Channel.
Deleting a Nuisance Channel
During scanning, your radio stops on a channel/group where
activity is detected. The radio stays on that channel for a
programmed time period known as “hang time”.
If a channel continually generates unwanted calls or noise
(termed a “nuisance” channel), you can temporarily remove the
unwanted channel from the scan list.
Procedure:
This capability does not apply to the channel designated as the
Selected Channel.
1
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you
hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for
you to respond.
2 Press the PTT button during hang time. The green LED
lights up.
3 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak
clearly into the microphone.
OR
Wait for the PTT Sidetone to finish (if enabled) and
speak clearly into the microphone.
4 Release the PTT button to listen.
5 If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns
to scanning other channels/groups.
Procedure:
1 When your radio “locks on to” an unwanted or nuisance
channel, press the programmed Nuisance Channel Delete
button until you hear a tone.
2 Release the Nuisance Channel Delete button. The
nuisance channel is deleted.
Advanced Features
Responding to a Transmission During a Scan
Deleting a “nuisance” channel is only possible through the
programmed Nuisance Channel Delete button. This feature is
not accessible through the menu.
Restoring a Nuisance Channel
Procedure:
To restore the deleted nuisance channel, do one of the
following:
• Turn the radio off and then power it on again, OR
• Stop and restart a scan via the programmed Scan button or
menu, OR
• Change the channel via the Channel Up/Down buttons.

Vote Scan
Vote Scan provides you with wide area coverage in areas where
there are multiple base stations transmitting identical
information on different analog channels.
Contacts provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate
a call.
Your radio scans analog channels of multiple base stations and
performs a voting process to select the strongest received
signal. Once that is established, your radio unmutes to
transmissions from that base station.
Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of four
types of calls: Group Call, Private Call,. PC Call or Dispatch Call
The yellow LED blinks and the vote scan icon appears on the
status bar.
Advanced Features

To respond to a transmission during a Vote Scan, follow the
same procedures as Responding to a Transmission During a

PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only
available with the applications. Refer to the data applications
documentation for further details.

If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you can
make privacy-enabled Group Call and Private Call on
that channel. Only target radios with the same Privacy
Key OR the same Key Value and
Key ID as your radio are able to unscramble the

See Privacy on page 54 for more information.
Additionally, Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to a
programmable number key or more on a keypad microphone. 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 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.
Advanced Features
Your radio only supports Basic Privacy.
54
English
To unscramble a privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your
radio must be programmed to have the same Privacy Key as
the transmitting radio.
If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different
Privacy Key, you will hear a garbled transmission.
The green LED lights up while the radio is transmitting and
double blinks when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacyenabled transmission.
NOTE: Some radio models/locations may not offer this Privacy
feature. Check with your dealer or system administrator
for more information.

Notification List
Your radio has a Notification List that collects all your “unread”
events on the channel, such as unread text messages,
telegrams, missed calls, and call alerts.
Following no user activity for a programmed duration, the radio
pre-warns the user via an audio indicator once the inactivity
timer expires.
The Notification icon appears on the status bar when the
Notification List has one or more events.
If there is still no acknowledgment by the user before the
predefined reminder timer expires, the radio initiates an
Emergency Alarm.
Only one of the following Emergency Alarms is assigned to this
feature:
• Emergency Alarm
• Emergency Alarm with Call
The list supports a maximum of forty (40) unread events. When
it is full, the next event automatically replaces the oldest event.
After the events are read, they are removed from the
Notification List.
NOTE: Your radio suspends Scan when the Notification List is
displayed. Scanning resumes when your radio exits the
Notification List. Press e to exit the Notification List
or wait for the menu timer to expire.
Advanced Features
This feature prompts an emergency to be raised if there is no
user activity, such as any radio button press or activation of the
channel selector, for a predefined time.
• Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
The radio remains in the emergency state allowing voice
messages to proceed until action is taken. See Emergency
Operation on page 40 on ways to exit Emergency.

enabled. Check with your dealer or system
administrator for more information.

claim that the Product or parts infringe a United States patent, and
MOTOROLA will pay those costs and damages finally awarded
against the end user purchaser in any such suit which are
attributable to any such claim, but such defense and payments are
conditioned on the following:
A) that MOTOROLA will be notified promptly in writing by such
purchaser of any notice of such claim;
B) that MOTOROLA will have sole control of the defense of such
suit and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise; and
C)should the Product or parts become, or in MOTOROLA’s opinion
be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of a
United States patent, that such purchaser will permit
MOTOROLA, at its option and expense, either to procure for
such purchaser the right to continue using the Product or parts or
to replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing
or to grant such purchaser a credit for the Product or parts as
depreciated and accept its return. The depreciation will be an
equal amount per year over the lifetime of the Product or parts as
established by MOTOROLA.
MOTOROLA will have no liability with respect to any claim of patent
infringement which is based upon the combination of the Product or
parts furnished hereunder with software, apparatus or devices not
furnished by MOTOROLA, nor will MOTOROLA have any liability
for the use of ancillary equipment or software not furnished by
MOTOROLA which is attached to or used in connection with the
Product. The foregoing states the entire liability of MOTOROLA with
respect to infringement of patents by the Product or any parts
thereof.
