VibraCallTM Alert

VibraCallTM is a vibrating alert that notifies you that your radio is receiving a message. This is useful in noisy environments. When the alert is on, the radio vibrates once every 30 seconds when you receive a message on the channel and code you set.

	current setting will flash.
2.	Press	o r	to change the setting to On/Off.
3.	Press	to set or	to continue set up.

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.

1.	Press	u ntil QT displays. The current setting On/Off will flash.
2.	Press	o r	to turn noise filtering On or Off.
3.	Press	to confirm your selection or		to continue set up.

2.Press to s end 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 hear d 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.

Special Features

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 dis played.

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 st arted 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.

To start Scanning:

1. Briefly press the key. The scan will appear in the display, and the radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.

2.When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission.

3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press	within five
seconds after the end of the transmission.

4.The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds after the end of any received activity.

5.To stop scanning, briefly press the k ey.

To start Advanced Scanning:
1.	Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.
2.	Briefly press the	key. The scan	w ill appear in the display,
	and the radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No
	Interference Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.

Weather Receiver

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.

5.The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds after the end of any received activity.

6.To stop scanning, briefly press the k ey.

Scanning Notes:

1. If you press while the radio is scrolling through inactive channels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”. Scanning will resume five seconds after the end of your transmission. You

may press the key to stop scanning at any time.

2.If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may immediately

resume the scan by briefly pressing or .

3.If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you may

temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing and

holding or for three seconds. You may remove more than one channel in this way.

4.To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio

off and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode by

pressing .

5.You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.

6.In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for one transmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set that detected code on that channel to permanently use the detected code.
