1.1.2 LTR® , LOW TIER, AND DATA MODELS

NOTE: LTR, low tier, and data versions of the 98xx transceiver are no longer available.

The LTR versions of the 98xx are covered by LTR 98xx Service Manual, Part No. 001-9800-200. This is a complete LTR manual that includes LTR operation and programming information and 98xx hardware servicing information. There are also -201 and -202 revisions that should accompany this manual.

The LTR models of the 98xx mobile were available in both high and low tier versions, and the Multi- Net, LTR-Net, and SMARTNET/SmartZone models are available in only the high tier version. Therefore, only high tier models are covered by this manual. For servicing information on low tier models, refer to the LTR manual described in the preceding paragraph.

The data version of the 98xx transceiver has a front panel that is blank except for the programming jack. For servicing information on data models, refer to the LTR manual just described.

The Multi-Net version of the 98xx transceiver has a data interface that supports external data equipment. For information on this interface and the serial control protocol it uses, refer to the Multi-Net manual described in the preceding section.

NOTE: External data equipment is currently not supported by the LTR-Net and SMARTNET/SmartZone versions of this transceiver.
