Setting the Sensitivity Level When in or Mode Adjusting the radio’s sensitivity level helps minimize the possibility of unintended noises triggering a transmission and helps the radio pick up soft voices.

1.Press until VOX and the level setting (1-3) appear on the display.

2.Press or to select the sensitivity level.

3.Press to set or to continue set up.

3 = High Sensitivity for quiet environments

2 = Medium Sensitivity for most environments

1 = Low Sensitivity for noisy environments

Note: When you connect a headset, the radio is automatically set to the last chosen sensitivity level.

QT Noise Filtering

The QT noise-filtering feature helps to ensure uninterrupted communication with other Motorola radios that have this feature. This feature also filters out unwanted transmissions from other radios. This is useful in places where there is heavy radio traffic, such as amusement parks or ski resorts.

Note: QT noise filtering is not available when the radio is scanning.

To turn QT noise filtering on or off:

1.Press until displays. The current setting On/Off will flash.

2.Press or to turn noise filtering On or Off.

3.Press to confirm your selection or to continue set up.

To transmit to a radio that has QT noise filtering turned on:

1.Select the same channel and Interference Eliminator Code as the other radio.

2.Press to send a call tone. This allows your voice to pass through the QT noise filter on the receiving radio.

3.Press and speak normally.

Note: If you skip step 2, the beginning of your message may not be heard on the receiving radio. For a 30-second period, starting after the last transmission, all transmissions received on the selected channel and code will pass through the QT noise filter.

Note: Radios other than EM1000 series can receive the emergency alert signal but will not respond with adjusted volume settings, controlled transmission mode or unique alert tone. Users of other radios will hear a steady 8 second tone and the 22 second voice transmission.

Warning: The Emergency Alert feature should only be used in the event of an actual emergency. Motorola is not responsible if there is no response to the emergency alert from the receiving group.

Flashlight

Press the flashlight button to turn the light on. The switch functions as a momentary control for the light.

Note: Turn off the light when not in use to conserve battery power.

Keypad Lock

To avoid accidentally changing your radio settings:

1.Press and hold until displays.

2.When in lock mode, you can turn the radio on and off, adjust the volume, receive, transmit, send a call tone, and monitor channels. All other functions are locked.

To unlock the radio, press and hold until is no longer displayed.

Scanning Channels

Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.

There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 22 channels as you have set them ( or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any code in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.

Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and Interference Eliminator Code) your radio was set to when you start the scan. This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often than the other 21 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.

Your radio can tune in to broadcasts by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio and Environment Canada Weatheradio.

You can listen to a weather channel (see “Weather Channels and Frequencies” table below) or set your radio to alert you to emergency weather broadcasts that interrupt routine broadcasts. When you listen to a weather channel, you cannot use your radio in scan mode or for two-way communications.

Both NOAA and Environment Canada have transmitters located throughout the United States and Canada, respectively. These transmitters broadcast watches, forecasts, and other information 24 hours a day.

Note: NOAA weather radio stations are assigned to cover specific areas and service may be limited. Please check with your local weather office for frequency and details, or visit www.weather.gov/nwr in the US or www.msc.ec.gc.ca/msb/weatheradio in Canada to view the appropriate transmitter for your area.

The use of the NOAA logo does not provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by NOAA’s National Weather Service, nor does the use of the Weatheradio logo provide an endorsement or implied endorsement by Environment Canada.

Turning Weather Channel Reception On and Off

1.To turn weather reception on, press and hold for three seconds.

2.To turn off, press or turn the radio off and then back on.

Setting the Weather Channel

Your radio receives weather frequencies:

1.After turning weather reception on, press . The current channel flashes.

2.Press or to select the appropriate channel with good reception in your area.

3.Press to save the weather channel setting.

Setting the Weather Alert

Your radio can be set to respond to NOAA Weather Radio emergency messages. A special alarm tone sounds an alert and turns on the weather receiver to give you immediate weather and emergency information.
