BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

XT Series radios provide Lithium-Ion batteries that come in different capacities that define the battery life.

BATTERY FEATURES AND CHARGING OPTIONS

About the Li-Ion Battery

The XT Series radio comes equipped with a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. This battery should be fully charged before initial use to ensure optimum capacity and performance.

Battery life is determined by several factors. Among the more critical are the regular overcharge of batteries and the average depth of discharge with each cycle. Typically, the greater the overcharge and the deeper the average discharge, the fewer cycles a battery will last. For example, a battery which is overcharged and discharged 100% several

times a day, lasts fewer cycles than a battery that receives less of an overcharge and is discharged to 50% per day. Further, a battery which receives minimal overcharging and averages only 25% discharge, lasts even longer.

Motorola batteries are designed specifically to be used with a Motorola charger and vice versa. Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead to battery damage and void the battery warranty. The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50°F [10°C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in reduced discharge capacity, affecting the performance of the radio.

Motorola rapid-rate battery chargers contain a temperature-sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are charged within the temperature limits stated above.

Installing the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery

1. Turn OFF the radio.
2. With the Motorola logo side up on the battery pack, fit the tabs at the bottom of the battery into the slots at the bottom of the radio's body.
3. Press the top part of the battery towards the radio until a click is heard.

Note: To learn about the Li-Ion Battery Life features, refer to "About the Li-Ion Battery" on page 11

Removing the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery

1. Turn OFF the radio.
2. Push down the battery latch and hold it while removing the battery.
3. Pull the battery away from the radio.

GETTING STARTED

For the following explanations, refer to "Parts Of The Radio" on page 8.

To turn ON the radio, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise. The radio plays one of the following:

• Power up tone and channel number announcement, or
• Battery level and channel number announcements, or
• Silent (Audible tones disabled)

The LED blinks red briefly.

To turn the radio OFF, rotate the On/Off/Volume Knob counterclockwise until you hear a 'click' and the radio LED Indicator turns OFF.

ADJUSTING VOLUME

Turn the On/Off/Volume Knob clockwise to increase the volume, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear when the volume is high or when adjusting the volume.

SELECTING A CHANNEL

To select a channel, turn the Channel Selector Knob until you reach the desired channel. An audible voice indicates the selected channel.

Each channel has its own Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scan Settings.

TALKING AND MONITORING

It is important to monitor for traffic before transmitting to avoid 'talking over' someone who is already transmitting.

To monitor, long press and hold the SB1(*) button to access channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear 'static'. To release, press SB1 again. Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the PTT button. When transmitting, the LED Indicator stays solid red.

Notes:

• To listen to all activity on a current channel, short press the SB1 to set the CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is called 'CTCSS/DPL Defeat (Squelch set to SILENT)'.
• (*) This assumes SB1 is not being programmed for a different mode.

RECEIVING A CALL

1. Select a channel by rotating the Channel Selector Knob until you reach the desired channel. An audible voice indicates the selected channel.
2. Make sure the PTT button is released and listen for voice activity.
3. The LED Indicator stays solid red when the radio is receiving a call.
4. To respond, hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from your mouth. Press the PTT button to talk; release it to listen.

Note:

• Interference Eliminator Codes are also referred to as CTCSS/DPL codes or PL/DPL codes.

TALK RANGE

XT Series radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is recommended that you do not use the radios closer than 1.5 meters apart to avoid interference. XT460 coverage is 16,250 square meters, 13 floors, and 9 km in flat areas.

Talk range depends on the terrain. It will be affected by concrete structures, heavy foliage, and by operating radios indoors or in vehicles. Optimal range occurs in flat, open areas with up to 9 kilometers of coverage. Medium range occurs when buildings and trees are in the way.

To establish proper two-way communication, the Channel, Frequency, and Interference

Eliminator Codes must be the same on both radios. This depends on the stored profile that has been pre-programmed on the radio:

1. Channel: Current channel that the radio is using, depending upon radio model.
2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to transmit/receive.
3. Interference Eliminator Code: These codes help minimize interference by providing a choice of code combinations.
4. Scramble Code: Codes that make the transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening who is not set to that specific code.

For details on how to set up frequencies and CTCSS/DPL codes in the channels, refer to "Entering Advanced Configuration Mode" on page 27.

Reading Auto-Scan Values

After hearing the CTCSS/DPL codes, short pressing the PTT button moves you to AutoScan mode.

Auto-Scan has only two values:

• Enabled
• Disabled

Modify Auto-Scan values using SB1 and SB2 buttons.

Saving Settings

Once you are satisfied with the settings, you can either:

• short press the PTT button to continue programming,
• long press the PTT button to save and return to 'Idle' Programming Mode, or
• long press the PTT button twice to exit 'Idle' Programming Mode and return to the normal radio operation.

Note:

• To exit the programming mode without saving, turn OFF the radio.
• If you 'roll-over' to the beginning of 'Idle' Programming Mode, you will hear "Channel Number" and the LED Indicator blinks green again. All changed values will be automatically saved.

Programming Mode FAQ

1. I got distracted while programming and forgot which feature I was programming. What should I do?

Return to 'Idle' Programming Mode and start over. You will not be able to return to Programming Mode (the radio does not provide further way to let you know the specific stage you are at in the Programming Mode).

Therefore you can:

• Long press the PTT button. The radio will return to 'Idle' Programming Mode or,
• Turn OFF the radio and enter Programming Mode again. (Refer to "Entering Advanced Configuration Mode" on page 27 for more information)
• I am trying to program a frequency (or a code) value but the radio would not do it. It rolled over and took me back to value '0'.

The radio disallows you to program any value that is not available in the frequencies and

codes pool. For example, if you try to program code 220, the radio would not accept it as the maximum value allowed is 219. Same goes for the frequencies. Refer to the "Frequency and Code Charts" on page 47 to make sure you are programming a valid value. 3. I am trying to enter the Programming Mode but the radio would not do it.

The radio may be locked using the CPS to disallow Front Panel Programming. To re-enable, use the CPS.

1. I programmed the wrong value when I was programming. How can I erase or re-program the value?

If you programmed the wrong value, you can either:

• 'Roll-over' the radio. The radio 'roll-over' each time it reaches the maximum value allowed. Keep increasing (short press the SB1 button) or decreasing (short press the SB2 button) until you get the desired value or,
• Turn OFF the radio and start over.
• I just programmed the value I wanted. How do I exit the Programming Mode?

You can either:

• long press the PTT button twice to exit if you're in the Programming Mode or,
• Long press the PTT button once if you are already in the 'Idle' Programming mode.
• I am done programming the features in this channel. How do I program another channel?

Short press the PTT button several times until you hear "Channel Number". Switch channel by rotating the Channel Selector Knob. If you wish to save the changes, make sure you are in the 'Idle' Programming Mode before switching the channel, otherwise you will lose the changes made.

PROGRAMMING VALUES EXAMPLE

Example of Programming a Frequency

Assuming current frequency value is set to Channel 1, with the PMR446 default frequency set to '02' (equivalent to 446.03125 MHz), and you want to change it to Frequency Number = '13' (which is mapped to 466.05625 MHz), follow this sequence:

1. Enter Advanced Configuration Mode.
2. Short press the PTT button to enter Frequency Mode. The radio audible voice announces that the current value is '2'.
3. Press the SB1 button eleven times to increase frequencies and you will hear frequency "One, three" (13).
4. Long press the PTT button. LED Indicator shows a green heartbeat to indicate 'Idle' Programming Mode.
5. Long press the PTT button again to exit Programming Mode or turn OFF the radio.

Example of Programming a Code

Assuming the current code value is set to factory default '001', and you want to change it to CTCSS/DPL Code = 103. Follow the sequence indicated below:

1. Enter Advanced Configuration Mode.
2. Short press the PTT button twice. The radio audible voice announced "Code Number" (Entering CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode).
3. Pressing and holding SB1 or SB2 button fast forwards / rewrites the value at the nearest 10's. When released, the radio audible voice announces the first, second and third digit in full. Keep pressing the SB1 or SB2 button several times until you hear "103".
4. Long press the PTT button. LED Indicator shows a green heartbeat to indicate 'Idle' Programming Mode.
5. Long press the PTT button again to exit Programming Mode or turn OFF the radio.

Example of Programming Auto-Scan

Auto-Scan is the third available feature in the Programming Mode and can be set to either ON or OFF on a particular channel.

To set Auto-Scan to ON:

• Enter Advanced Configuration Mode and select the desired channel.
• Short press the PTT button three times to enter the Active Channels Programming Selection Mode. The audible voice in the radio announces "Auto-Scan" and the setting (Enabled or Disabled).
• To change the setting, press SB1 or SB2.
• Long press the PTT button. LED Indicator shows a green heartbeat to indicate 'Idle' Programming Mode.
• Long press the PTT button again to exit Programming Mode or turn OFF the radio.

OTHER PROGRAMMING FEATURES

Scan

Scan allows you to monitor other channels to detect conversations. When the radio detects a transmission, it stops scanning and goes to the active channel. This allows you to listen and talk to people in that channel without having to change channel. If there is valid channel activity on Channel 2, the radio stays on Channel 1 and you will not hear Channel 2. After the talking has stopped in Channel 1, the radio waits for 5 seconds before resuming scan again.

• To start scanning, press the SBx (x=1 or 2) button. (Scan is defaulted on SB2 but can be programmed to either SB1 or SB2 button via CPS). When the radio detects channel activity, it stops on that channel until the activity ends. You can respond on that channel without having to switch channels by pressing the PTT button. If no transmission occurs within 5 seconds, scanning resumes.
• To stop scanning, short press the SB1 or SB2 button (programmed for scan) again.
• If you want to scan a channel without the Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set the code settings for the channels to '0' in the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode.

Note: Whenever the radio is set to Scan, the LED Indicator blinks a Red Heartbeat.

Editing Scan List

Scan List can be edited by using the CPS. For more information refer to "Customer Programming Software (CPS)" on page 33.

Nuisance Channel Delete

Nuisance Channel Delete allows you to temporarily remove channels from the Scan List. This feature is useful when irrelevant conversations on a 'nuisance' channel ties up the radio's scanning feature.

To delete a channel from the Scan List:

• Start Scan mode by short pressing the SB1 or SB2 (programmed for scan) button.
• Wait until the radio stops receiving at the channel you wish to eliminate. Long press the SB2 button to delete it. You cannot delete the channel with scan enabled (home channel).
• The channel will not be scanned again until you exit the Scan mode by short pressing the SB1 or SB2 (programmed for scan) button again or by turning OFF the radio and back ON.

CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (CPS) Figure 1: Setting up the radio to the CPS

The easiest way to program or change features in your radio is by using the Customer Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS Programming Cable*. CPS Software is available for free as web based downloadable software at:

www.motorolasolutions.com/XTseries

To program, connect the XT Series radio via the Drop-in Charger Tray and CPS Programming Cable as shown in Figure 1 on page 33. Toggle the cable switch of the CPS Programming Cable to 'CPS Mode'.

CPS allows you to program frequencies, PL/ DPL Codes as well as other features such as: Time-out Timer, Scan List, Call Tones, Scramble, Reverse Burst, etc. CPS is a very useful tool as it can also lock the Front-Panel Radio Programming or restrict any specific radio feature to be changed (to avoid accidentally erasing the preset radio values). It also provides security by giving the option to set up a password for profile radio's management. For more information, refer to Features Summary Chart Section at the end of the User Guide.

Note: (*) CPS Programming Cable P/N# HKKN4027_ is an accessory sold separately. Please contact your Motorola point of purchase for more information.

Time-Out Timer

This timer sets the amount of time that the radio can continuously transmit before the transmission is automatically terminated. The default setting is 60 seconds and can be changed using the CPS.

Call Tones

Call Tones feature allows you to transmit an audible tone to other radios on the same channel to alert them that you are about to talk or to alert them without speaking.

To use this feature, the Call Tones must be programmed to either SB1 or SB2 and 1 of the 3 pre-recorded tones is selected.

Scramble

The Scramble feature makes transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the same code. Scramble default value is OFF. To change the scramble code during radio's normal operation, the Scramble feature must be programmed to either SB1 or SB2.

Reverse Burst

Reverse Burst eliminates unwanted noise (squelch tail) during loss of carrier detection. You can select values of either 180 or 240 to be compatible with other radios. The default value is 180.

Notes:

• The features described in previous pages are just some of the features CPS has. CPS offers more capabilities. For more information refer to the HELP file in the CPS.
• Some of the features available with the CPS software may vary depending on the radio model.

CLONING RADIOS

You can clone XT Series radio profiles from one Source radio to a Target radio by using any one of these 3 methods:

• Using a Multi Unit Charger (MUC-optional accessory),
• Using two Single Unit Chargers (SUC) and a Radio-to-Radio cloning cable (optional accessory),
• the CPS (free software download)

Cloning with a Multi-Unit Charger (MUC)

To clone radios using the MUC, there must be at least two radios:

• a Source radio (radio which profiles will be cloned or copied from) and
• a Target radio (the radio which profile will be cloned from the source radio.)

The Source radio has to be in Pocket 1 or 4 while the Target radio has to be in Pocket 2 or 5, matching in the MUCs pockets by pairs as follows:

1 and 2 or, 4 and 5.

When cloning, the MUC does not need to be plugged into a power source, but ALL radios require charged batteries.

1. Turn ON the Target radio and place it into one of the MUC Target Pockets
2. Power the Source radio following the sequence below:
3. Long press the PTT button and SB2

simultaneously while turning the radio ON.

• Wait for 3 seconds before releasing the buttons until the audible tone "Cloning" is heard.
• Place the Source radio in the source pocket that pairs with the target pocket you chose in step 1. Press and release the SB1 button.
• After cloning is completed, the Source radio will announce either "successful" (cloning is successful) or "fail" (cloning has failed). If the Source radio is a display model, it will either show 'Pass' or 'Fail' on the display (a tone will be heard within 5 seconds).
• Once you have completed the cloning process, turn the radios OFF and ON to exit the 'cloning' mode.

Further details on how to clone radios are explained in the Instructions Sheet provided with the MUC.

When ordering the MUC, refer to P/N# PMLN6384_.

Notes:

• If cloning fails, refer to "What To Do If Cloning Fails" on page 40.
• Paired Target radios and Source radios must be of the same band type in order for the cloning to run successfully.
• MUC pockets numbers should be read from left to right with the Motorola logo facing front.

CPS and Cloning Cables (Optional Accessory)

• Both CPS and Cloning Cables are made to work either with XT Series radios or XTNi Series radios. Cloning cable supports a mix of XT and XTNi series radios.
• CPS cable programs XT series radios. Make sure the cable switch is in "Flash" or "CPS" position. To program a XTNi radio with the CPS cable, make sure the cable switch is in "CPS" position and the USB converter provided in the CPS cable kit is attached to the cable.
• Cloning cable allows you to clone:

-XT Series radios. Make sure the switch is in "Cloning" or "Legacy" position. -XTNi Series radios. Make sure the switch is in "Legacy" position with one USB converter on each end of the cloning cable. -XT Series and XTNi Series radios.

GENERAL RADIO STATION

Button 2 (SB2)

Button 2 with the general purpose button is activated using CPS. The SB2 button is programmed by default as "Scan/Delete unwanted channels".

Lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery

The XT series radios are supplied with Li-Ion batteries of standard capacity. Other types of batteries may be used. See "Battery Characteristics and Charging" on page 11 for more information.

This user manual describes several models of the XT420 series. The model name and its technical characteristics are indicated in the lower part of the radio.

Table 1: XT420 radio characteristics

BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

The XT series radios are equipped with Li-Ion batteries of different capacities and, accordingly, different service life.

BATTERY CHARACTERISTICS AND CHARGING

Lithium-ion battery radios are supplied complete with lithium-ion batteries. To ensure maximum capacity and optimal operating characteristics, before first use, the battery must be fully charged.

Battery life is determined by several factors. The most important factors are regular full charging of batteries and avoiding deep discharge in each cycle. Generally, the more fully charged and the less deeply discharged, the fewer charge-discharge cycles the battery will withstand. For example, a battery that receives a full charge and is fully discharged several times a day will have a shorter life than a battery that is recharged more often and only discharged to 50%. In addition, a battery that receives a full charge and is discharged on average no more than 25% will last longer.

Motorola batteries are designed specifically for use with Motorola chargers, which are intended for charging these batteries. Using chargers from other manufacturers may damage the batteries and void the battery warranty. The optimal operating temperature for batteries is room temperature, i.e., 25°C (77°F). Charging a cold battery (below 10°C [50°F]) may cause electrolyte leakage, and in some cases even battery failure. Charging a hot battery (above 35°C [95°F]) will reduce its capacity and adversely affect the operating characteristics of the radio. To ensure optimal charging conditions in accordance with the specified temperature conditions, Motorola chargers are equipped with temperature sensors.

Installing the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery

Turn off the radio.

1. Place the battery pack on the back of the Motorola radio and align the battery contacts with the contacts on the back of the radio.
2. Press the battery down from the top edge until it snaps into place.
3. Note: For more information on the life of Li-Ion batteries, see the section "Lithium-Ion Batteries" on page 11.

Removing the Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) Battery

Turn off the radio.

1. Press the battery latch down while holding it pressed.
2. Pull the battery away from the radio.

Restoring standard settings

Checking CTCSS / DPL code values

Briefly press the PTT button to switch from one programmed function to another until the desired code is found. The radio switches to the CTCSS/PL code programming mode.

Using the SB1 and SB2 buttons, enter the new code value.

In XT series radios, up to 219 codes can be used. More details about this are in the 'Frequency and code table' on page 53.

Checking autoscan values

After setting the CTCSS/DPL code values, briefly press the PTT button to switch to autoscan mode.

The autoscan mode has two states:

• ON OFF

Changes to autoscan values are made using the SB1 and SB2 buttons.

Saving settings

After selecting the desired values, perform one of the following actions:

To set the PTT button and hold it during programming, press and hold the PTT button, save the settings, and return to the programming mode. Press and hold the PTT button, exit the programming mode, and return to normal operation of the radio station.

Note.

• To exit programming mode without saving changes, turn off the radio. If you return to the beginning of the programming mode, all changes will be discarded. You will receive a message "Channel Number" and the indicator will blink green. All changed values will be automatically saved.

Questions and answers about programming mode

1. During programming, I pressed the wrong button and I don't know which function is being programmed. What should I do?

Return to the programming mode and start again. Returning to the programming mode is not possible (the radio does not save information about which stage of programming you are in). So, try one of the options:

Press and hold the PTT button. The radio will return to the programming mode. Or, turn off the radio and enter programming mode again. (More details about this are in "Transition to 'Advanced Configuration Mode' (Extended settings mode) on page 29")

1. I try to program a value (or code), but the radio does not execute the command. It returns to the initial value 0

The radio does not allow programming any values except those within the allowed range of frequencies and codes. For example, if you try to enter code 220, the radio will not accept it, as the maximum allowed value is 219. The same applies to frequency values. You can check the allowed values in the "Frequency and Code Table" on page 53.

1. I try to enter programming mode, but nothing happens.

The radio may be locked using CPS software to prevent unwanted programming from the front panel. You can unlock it with CPS software.

4. During programming, I entered the wrong value by mistake. Can I correct it or reprogram it?

If you have programmed an incorrect value, do one of the following:

• Go through all options and return to the beginning. After reaching the maximum allowed value, the radio will return to the beginning each time. Decrease (short press SB1) or increase (short press SB2) the value until you reach the desired one, or turn off the radio and start again.
• I have programmed the desired value. How do I exit programming mode?

Quick setup method:

• While in programming mode, press and hold the PTT button, repeat this, or

If you are already in programming mode, press and hold the PTT button once. 6. The programming of the channel is complete. How to program functions for another channel?

Briefly press the PTT button several times until the display shows "Channel Number". Switch to another channel by turning the channel selector knob. The changes will be saved before switching channels if you are in programming mode; otherwise, the changes will be lost.

PROGRAMMING EXAMPLES

Programming example:

www.motorolasolutions.com/XTseries

To start programming, install the radio battery charger and connect it to the computer using the CPS programming cable, as shown in Figure 1 on page 37. Set the switch on the programming cable to "CPS Mode".

The programming software allows you to program frequencies, PL/DPL, and functions such as transmit time-out timer, scan lists, call tones, squelch, Reverse Burst function, and more. The CPS is a user-friendly tool that allows you to program with a password or restrict the ability to change any specified function (for example, to prevent unauthorized programming). In addition, it provides a higher level of security, allowing you to set a password for programming the radio. Detailed information can be found in the

"Radio Functions" section at the end of this user guide.

Note: (*) Each programming via CPS requires the accessory kit NKN4027_, sold separately. For more information, contact your local Motorola sales representative.

Transmit time-out timer

This timer sets the maximum duration of continuous transmission before automatic shutdown. The default time-out value is 60 seconds, but this setting can be changed using the CPS.

Call tones

The call tones function allows you to transmit audio signals to other radios operating on the same channel to alert them of your desire to speak with them, or simply to attract their attention without transmitting a voice message.

To use this function, you need to program one of the buttons SB1 or SB2 for a long press and select one of the recorded variants of the press.

Cloning

Cables for CPS and Cloning (Optional Equipment)

The cable for CPS and the cable for cloning are intended for use with radios of the XT or XTN series. The cloning cable can be used to connect interchangeable pairs of radios of the XT and XTN series. The CPS cable is used for programming radios of the XT series. It is recommended that the switch on the cable be in the "Flash" or "CPS" position. Before starting to program radios of the XTN series using the CPS cable, make sure that the switch on the cable is in the "CPS" position, and the USB adapter from the CPS cable kit is connected to the cable.

The cloning cable allows cloning:

• XT series radios. It is recommended that the switch on the cable be in the Cloning or "Legacy" position.

The LED indicator is off:

1. Check that the radio station with the battery or the battery alone is correctly installed in the charging device. (See "Charging the radio station and batteries using the multi-charging device (optional accessory)" on page 20)
2. Make sure that the power cable is securely connected to the charging device's socket and to the corresponding AC outlet, and that the outlet is powered.
3. Make sure that the battery used in the device is the one indicated in Table 2 on page 17.

Start of operation

The indicator lights up red once.

To turn off the radio station, turn the VOLUME control counterclockwise until you hear a click, and the indicator light will turn off.

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

To increase the volume, turn the VOLUME control clockwise; to decrease the volume, turn the VOLUME control counterclockwise.

Caution. Do not hold the radio station too close to your ear when it is set to high volume or during volume adjustment.

CHANNEL SELECTION

To select a channel, turn the channel selector knob until you find the desired channel number. Channel switching is accompanied by a voice announcement.

Each channel has its own frequency settings, when the device is used for interference suppression and scanning.

MONITORING

Before starting a transmission, it is necessary to monitor the traffic to avoid a "parallel conversation" with a user who is already transmitting.

To access the channel traffic and start monitoring, press and hold the SB1 button (*). If there is no activity, you will hear static noise. To stop monitoring, press the SB1 button again. After checking the channel traffic, continue your call by pressing the PTT button. During transmission, the indicator light is constantly red.

Note:

• To listen to all activity on the current channel, briefly press the SB1 button to set the value "0" for the CTCSS/DPL code. This function is called "CTCSS/DPL detection (value "OFF" for squelch setting)." (*) It is assumed that the SB1 button is not programmed for another mode.

RECEIVING A CALL

1. Select the desired channel by turning the channel selector knob. Channel switching is accompanied by a voice announcement.
2. Make sure the PTT button is released, then speak into the microphone.
3. During call reception, the LED indicator lights up red.
4. To make a call, hold the radio vertically at a distance of about 2.5-5 cm from your mouth. Press the PTT button to talk and release it to listen.

Note.

Codes for squelch and interference elimination may also be called CTCSS/DPL or PL/DPL.

RANGE OF CONVERSATION

The NT series radios are designed to provide maximum performance and improved transmission range in field conditions. To avoid interference, it is not recommended to use the radios at a distance closer than 1.5 meters. The coverage area of the XT420 radio is 16.25 square kilometers, on the 13th floor and 9 km on flat terrain.

The range of conversation depends on the terrain. In addition, concrete structures, dense foliage, and operation of radios indoors or in vehicles may affect it. The optimal range is designed for use in open flat areas and is up to 9 kilometers. If buildings or trees are encountered on the way, the range will be reduced.

To establish correct two-way communication and channel settings, the frequency and squelch codes must be the same on both radios. This depends on the saved profile that was programmed into the radios:

1. Channel. The current channel that the radio uses, depending on the radio model.
2. Frequency. The frequency used by the radio for transmission and reception.
3. Squelch codes. These codes help minimize interference by selecting different combinations of codes.
4. Scrambling code. Codes that allow distorting the transmitted signal so that it cannot be listened to by radios not set to that code.

For more detailed information on setting the CTCSS/DPL frequency codes on channels, see "Advanced Configuration Mode" on page 33.

LED INDICATORS OF THE RADIO

Setting the VOX sensitivity level

The sensitivity of the microphone accessories of the radio can be changed depending on the operating conditions of the device. The VOX sensitivity can be programmed via CPS.

By default, the VOX sensitivity level is 3. It is necessary to change the VOX sensitivity level.

1 = Low sensitivity level 2 = Medium sensitivity level 3 = High sensitivity level

Hands-free mode without using accessories (VOX)

Enable VOX by pressing the PTT button when turning on the radio. VOX can be temporarily disabled by pressing the PTT button. A short press of the PTT button activates VOX again. There is a short delay between the moment the user starts speaking and the moment the radio starts transmitting.

Microphone gain

The sensitivity of the radio microphone can be changed according to the needs of the user or the operating conditions of the device.

This function can only be configured via CPS. By default, the microphone is set to level 2 (medium gain).

Enabling or disabling voice prompts in user mode

A short press of the SB1 button when the radio is turned on enables or disables voice prompts in user mode (by default, voice prompts are enabled).

Keypad tone signal

To enable or disable the keypad tone signal, simultaneously press and hold the SB1 and SB2 buttons for 2-3 seconds when turning on the radio, until you hear the pre-programmed keypad tone signal. You can choose one of the available sound signals.

This function allows you to restore all original factory settings of the transceiver. To reset the settings, simultaneously press the PTT, SB1, and SB2 buttons while turning on the transceiver, and hold them until you hear a high-pitched tone.

• Frequency selection,
• Codes (CTCSS/DPL),
• Auto-scan.

The Frequency Select function allows you to select the lower frequencies from a pre-defined list.

The Interference Eliminator Code (CTCSS/DPL) function helps minimize interference by offering a selection of code combinations that filter out atmospheric noise, static, and unwanted messages.

The Auto-Scan function allows you to set automatic scan activation on a specific channel each time it is selected.

Enabling the Advanced Configuration Mode

Editing the scan list

The scan list can be

defined using the CPS. For additional information, see "User Programming Software (CPS)" on page 43.

Deleting a nuisance channel

The nuisance channel deletion function allows you to temporarily remove channels from the scan list. This function is useful in situations where unimportant transmissions on a "nuisance" channel interfere with effective scanning.

To delete a channel from the scan list:

3. Any channel programmed to scan can be deleted. - Wait until the radio stops receiving on the channel you want to delete. Press and hold the SB2 button to delete the channel. You cannot delete a channel associated with scanning (home channel). - Scanning on the channel will not be performed until you exit scan mode by pressing the SB1 or SB2 button again (programmed for scanning), or until the radio is turned off and on again.
