Notice to Users (ISED)
The operation of your Motorola Solutions radio is subject to the Radiocommunications Act and must comply with rules and regulations of the Federal Government's department of Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED). ISED requires that all operators using Private Land Mobile frequencies obtain a radio license before operating their equipment.
Important Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios

CAUTION:
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide that comes with the radio. This guide contains operating instructions for safe usage, RF energy awareness, and control for compliance with applicable standards and regulations.
Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by Motorola Solutions, may void the user's authority to operate this device.
Under Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by ISED. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada (ISED) to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
Citizens Band License
The use of the Citizens Band radio service is licensed in Australia by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) Radiocommunications (Citizens Band Radio Stations) Class Licence and in New Zealand by the Ministry of Economic Development New Zealand (MED) General User Radio Licence (GURL) for Citizens Band Radio, and operation is subject to the conditions contained in those licences.
In Australia, a Citizens Band transmitter shall not be operated on UHF emergency channels 5 and 35 and no voice transmissions are permitted on data (telemetry/telecommand) channels 22 and 23, except in an emergency. The radio that complies to this Standard will inhibit voice operation on channels 22 and 23. In the event that additional telemetry/telecommand channels are approved by the ACMA, these channels shall be added to those currently listed where voice transmission is inhibited.
Always listen on a channel (or observe a channel-busy indicator) to ensure it is not already being used before transmitting.
Citizens Band Repeater Operation
A repeater is a station established at a fixed location that receives radio signals from one Citizens Band station and automatically retransmits the signal to another station using the corresponding output channel. UHF Citizens Band repeaters can be found in all states and enable the range of vehicle to vehicle communications to be significantly increased. Avoid operating on locally used repeater input channels (which are in the range of channels 31 to 38, and channels 71 to 78 when they are authorized) or locally used repeater receiving channels (which will be in the range channels 1 to 8, and channels 41 to 48 when they are authorized), unless long-distance communication via the repeater facility is specifically required.

NOTE: In Australia, channel 11 is the customary calling channel for establishing communication and channel 40 is the customary road vehicle channel.
25 kHz Land Mobile Band to 12.5 kHz Narrow Band Transition
The existing use of 25 kHz analogue land mobile channels is to cease by 1 November 2015. This period is in accordance with the minimum period (five years) specified in the Radio Regulations for giving notice of revocation of a licence of an undefined duration.
Land mobile frequency bands with an offset channel plan (E, EN, and ENX bands) require a different treatment to manage the introduction of digital land mobile radio (due to potential adjacent channel interference risks). The following items apply to these bands:
- Users of E band (25 kHz channels) wanting to transition to digital prior 1 November 2015, can migrate to the EE band (also in the VHF range) or any other band open for digital land mobile radio licensing.
- E band users wanting to continue operating analogue services after the five year transition period can migrate to 12.5 kHz analogue channels in the EN band (also in the VHF range) or any other band open for narrow band analogue land mobile radio.
- Introduction of digital land mobile radio in the EN and ENX bands prior to 1 November 2015 will be considered on a case by case basis. Licensing of digital land mobile radio in these bands will be possible
in areas where E band users have vacated the band, or when rigorous engineering analysis guarantees no risk of interference to other band users.
For the list of currently authorized channels, please refer to the following websites:
- https://www.acma.gov.au/licences/citizen-band-radio-stations-class-licence (Australia)
- https://www.rsm.govt.nz/licensing/frequencies-for-anyone/citizen-band-radio-gurl/ (New Zealand)
Maritime Radio Use in the VHF Frequency Range
This section is only applicable for United States and Canada only.

Radio Care
This section describes the basic handling precaution of your radio.
Table 4: IP Specification
| IP Specification Description | |
| IP66 Allows your radio to withstand high-pressure water jets from any direction. | |
| IP68 Allows your radio to withstand two meters of water for two hours, and adverse field conditions such as water drops, snow, dirt, grease, or other surface contaminants. |

CAUTION: Do not disassemble your radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Radio maintenance must be done in service depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal on the radio.
- If your radio has been submerged in water, shake your radio well to remove any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped water could cause decreased audio performance.
- If your battery contact area has been exposed to water, clean and dry battery contacts on both your radio and the battery before attaching the battery to radio. The residual water could short-circuit the radio.
- If your radio has been submersed in a corrosive substance (for example, saltwater), rinse radio and battery in fresh water then dry radio and battery.
- To clean the exterior surfaces of your radio, use a diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh water (for example, one teaspoon of detergent to one gallon of water).
- Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak path into radio and submersibility may be lost.
- Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.
- Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent.
- Your radio is designed to be submersible to a maximum depth of 2 m and a maximum submersion time of 120 minutes. Exceeding maximum limit may result in damage to your radio.
The R7 housing material is made of an amorphous polycarbonate (PC) copolymer resin that offers excellent chemical resistance and is suitable for applications in the medical device industry. This material has been tested and passed limited biocompatibility tests of ISO 10993-5 and ISO 10993-10.

Chapter 5
System Overview
System overview explains types of systems and modes available in the radio.
5.1
Capacity Max
Capacity Max is MOTOTRBO control channel based trunked radio system.
MOTOTRBO digital radio products are marketed by Motorola Solutions primarily to business and industrial users. MOTOTRBO uses the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) standard, that is, two-slot Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA), to pack simultaneous voice or data in a 12.5 kHz channel (6.25 kHz equivalent).
5.2
Conventional Analog and Digital Modes
Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel.
Certain features are unavailable when switching from digital to analog mode and analog to digital mode, whereas some are available in both.
There are minor differences in how each feature works, but these differences do not affect the performance of your radio.
5.3
IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend conventional communication beyond the reach of a single site by connecting to different available sites by using an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, the radio connects to the repeater of the new site to send or receive calls or data transmissions. This is done either automatically or manually depending on your settings.
In an automatic site search, the radio scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. The radio then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.
In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list, which may not have the strongest signal, but is in range and locks onto the repeater.

NOTE: Each channel can only have Scan or Roam enabled, not both simultaneously.
Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channels in the roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site. A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels, including the selected channel.

NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry in the roam list. Contact your dealer for more information.
5.4
Capacity Plus
Capacity Plus is a cost-effective entry-level digital trunked system. The system is available in single-site and multi-site setups. Capacity Plus expands system capacity compared to non-trunked systems.

NOTE: If you try to access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus Single-Site or Capacity Plus Multi-Site using a programmable button, you hear a negative indicator tone.
Capacity Plus-Single-Site
Capacity Plus Single-Site is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254 groups.
This configuration allows your radio to efficiently use the number of available programmed channels while in Repeater Mode.
Capacity Plus-Multi-Site
Capacity Plus–Multi-Site is a multi-channel trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combining the best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect configurations. It is also known as Linked Capacity Plus.
It allows your radio to extend trunking communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected with an IP network. It also provides an increase in capacity by efficiently using the combined number of available programmed channels supported by each of the available sites.
When your radio moves out of range of one site and into the range of another, it connects to the repeater of the new site to send or receive calls or data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.
Automatically
Your radio scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or unable to detect any signal and locks on to the repeater with the strongest RSSI value.
Manually
Your radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range which may not have the strongest signal, and locks on to it.
Any channel with Capacity Plus Multi-Site enabled can be added to a roam list. Your radio searches these channels during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.

NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry in the roam list.
5.5
Direct Mode or Dual Capacity Direct Mode
A direct mode or dual capacity direct mode system is applicable when the transmitter's output power from a user's portable or mobile radio is sufficient for the user to communicate directly with all other users within the required coverage area of the customer.
Direct Mode or Dual Capacity Direct Mode (DCDM) is direct radio-to-radio communication for systems that do not use a repeater. When radios operate in direct mode or dual capacity direct mode, the radios always transmit and receive on the same frequency. Direct mode and dual capacity direct mode provide similar services to the end users, with the exception that dual capacity direct mode is only available in digital mode, and supports two simultaneous voice or data paths on a 12.5 kHz bandwidth channel while direct mode supports only one. There are some minor differences, for example, dual capacity direct mode channels may not be used as GNSS revert channels.
The radios are not limited to one direct mode/dual capacity direct mode frequency. They can be programmed to have different frequencies, which are selectable with the channel selector knob.
Direct mode or dual capacity direct modes do not need over-the-air hang time for voice calls. The radio has an internal call ("talk back") timer. The channel access method used before the call timer expires is impolite, since the radio is still a member of an active call. This is independent of the Channel Access selection for call initiation (polite or impolite).
Chapter 6
WAVE
Wide Area Voice Environment (WAVE ^™ ) provides a method of making calls between two or more radios.
WAVE allows you to communicate across different networks and devices using Wi-Fi. WAVE calls are made when the radio is connected to an IP network through Wi-Fi.
Your radio supports WAVE OnCloud/OnPremise.
