GETTING STARTED GETTING STARTED For the following explanations, refer to “Parts Of The Radio” on page 4 of the user guide.

TURNING RADIO ON/OFF

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 counterwise 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 it is at a high volume setting or when adjusting the volume setting.

To select a channel, rotate the Channel Selector Knob and select the desired channel number. Program each channel separately. 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, press and hold the SB1(*) button for 2 to 3 seconds to access channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear ‘static’. To release, press the SB1 button again. Once channel traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the PTT button. When transmitting, the radio LED will blink red every 3 seconds. (*) This assumes SB1 button has not been programmed for a different mode.

1. Select a channel by rotating the Channel Selector Knob until you reach the desired channel.2. Make sure the PTT button is released and listen for voice activity.3. The LED Indicator blinks RED while the radio is receiving a call.4. To respond, hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5 cm) from mouth. Press the PTT button to talk; release it to listen.Note: Please note that when radio is receiving or transmitting, LED is always RED.Note: In order to listen to all activity on a current channel, short press the SB1 button to set the CTCSS/DPL code to 0. This feature is called CTCSS/DPL Defeat (Squelch set to SILENT).English

GETTING STARTED TALK RANGE XT Series radios have been designed to maximize performance and improve transmission range in the field. It is recommended that you do no use the radios closer than

1.5 meters apart, to avoid interference. XT420 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. Minimal range occurs when dense foliage and mountains obstruct the communication path. To establish a 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

2. Frequency: The frequency the radio uses to transmit/

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.

5. Bandwidth: Some frequencies have selectable channel

spacing, which must match other radios for optimum audio quality. For details of how to set up frequencies and CTCSS/DPL codes in the channels, refer to “Programming Features” on page 14 Note: Interference Eliminator Codes are referred also as CTCSS/DPL codes or PL/DPL codesEnglish

GETTING STARTED Reset To Factory Defaults Reset To Factory Defaults will set back all radio features to the original factory default settings. To do so, press the PTT, SB1 and SB2 button simultaneously while turning ON the radio until you hear a high tone chirp beep.English

PROGRAMMING FEATURES PROGRAMMING FEATURES To easily program all the features in your radio, it is recommended to use the CPS Kit which includes the Programming Cable, CPS and accessories sections. Programming Mode Programming Mode is special radio mode that allows you to program basic radio’s features by using the radio’s panel programming. When the radio is set to Programming Mode, you are able to read and modify three features:

• Codes (CTCSS/DPL) and,

• Auto-scan. The Programming Frequencies feature allows you to select frequencies for each channel. The Interference Eliminator Code (CTCSS/ DPL) helps minimize interference by providing you with a choice of code combinations that filter out static, noise, and unwanted messages. The Auto Scan feature allows you to set a particular channel to automatically enable scan each time you switch to that channel ( you will not need to press any button to start scanning). For more details in programming features please go to http://www.motorolasolutions.com to download the full version of the XT420/XT460 User Guide.

CPS (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING

SOFTWARE) The easiest way to program or change features in your radio is by using the Computer Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS Programming Cable(*). The CPS allows the user 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 lock the frontpanel radio programming or restrict any specific radio feature to be changed (to avoid preset radio values to be accidentally erased). It also provides security by giving the option to set up a password for profile radio’s management. Please refer to Features Summary Chart Section at the end of the User’s Guide for more details.
