Select-enabled radios are free to change to any available channel, including the dynamic-regrouping channel, once the user has selected the dynamic-regrouping position. Select-disabled radios cannot change channels while dynamically regrouped. The dispatcher has forced the radio to remain on the dynamic-regrouping channel. The Scan or Private Call feature cannot be selected while your radio is Select Disabled. ASTRO XTS 2500 Model III 71 Special Radio Features Trunking System Controls Failsoft The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel. During failsoft operation:
Your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency. You hear a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds. FAILSOFT Medium-pitched tone When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation. Out-of-Range If you go out of the range of the system, and can no longer lock onto a control channel:
The display shows OUT OF RANGE and the currently selected zone/channel combination, and/
or you hear a low-pitched tone. Your radio remains in this out-of-
range condition until it locks onto a control channel, or it locks onto a failsoft channel, or it is turned off. OUT OF RANGE AND/OR Low-pitched tone Locks onto a control channel, or Locks onto a failsoft channel, or Turned off. 72 Special Radio Features Site Lock This feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not roam among wide-area talkgroup sites.

1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-
bristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. 3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.
!
C a u t i o n Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio housing. Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution. Handling Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio. Never carry the radio by the antenna. Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Avoid subjecting the radio to corrosives, solvents or spirits. Do not disassemble the radio. Keep the accessory-connector cover in place until ready to use the connector. Replace the cover immediately once the accessory has been disconnected.

(800) 227-6772 / (847)725-4200. 80 Helpful Tips Battery Battery Life 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 discharges 100%
several times a day, will last 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, will last even longer. Charging the Battery 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. Motorola-authorized battery chargers may not charge batteries other than the ones listed on page 85. The battery should be at about 77F (25C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50 F [10C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a hot battery (above 95F [35C]) 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. Battery Charge Status Your radio can indicate your batterys charge status by the following:
LED and Sounds you see the LED flash red when the PTT Button is pressed indicating low battery you hear a low-battery chirp (short, high-pitched tone) ASTRO XTS 2500 Model III 81 Helpful Tips Conventional Fuel Gauge Symbol A flashing fuel gauge symbol (b) is displayed only when the battery voltage drops to low level. In this case, replace the battery with a fully charged one. Smart Fuel Gauge Symbol Note: Smart battery will be available at a future date. Consult the Smart Battery manual. All conditions must be met for a battery to be classified as a Smart Battery. When your radio has a Smart Battery installed, the fuel gauge symbol is always displayed. Gauge shows:
if the batterys charge is:
71% to 100% full b j k l 10% or less (at 10%, the gauge begins flashing) 41% to 70%
11% to 40%
Replace the battery with a fully charged one when the fuel gauge shows the lowest level. Battery Recycling and Disposal Nickel-cadmium (NiCd) rechargeable batteries can be recycled. However, recycling facilities may not be available in all areas. Under various U.S. state laws and the laws of several other countries, NiCd batteries must be recycled and cannot be disposed of in landfills or incinerators. Contact your local waste management agency for specific requirements and information in your area. Motorola fully endorses and encourages the recycling of NiCd batteries. In the U.S. and Canada, Motorola participates in the nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for NiCd battery collection and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. 82 Helpful Tips For the location of the drop-off facility closest to you, access RBRC's Internet web site at www.rbrc.com or call 1-800-8-BATTERY. This internet site and telephone number also provide other useful information concerning recycling options for consumers, businesses, and governmental agencies.

It monitors and directs the operations of the trunked repeaters. A group of characteristics such as transmit/
receive frequency pairs, radio parameters, and encryption encoding. In a trunking system, one of the channels that is used to provide a continuous, two-way/data communications path between the central controller and all radios on the system.
