ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 23 General Radio Operation Receive / Transmit Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an indication that the radio is not working properly.

When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you will not be able to transmit on an active channel. If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel, you will hear an alert tone, and the transmission will be inhibited. The LED will also blink red to indicate that the channel is busy. Three radio-wide variations of smart PTT are available:
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Carrier Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong Squelch Code Quick-Key Override You cannot transmit if any traffic is detected on the channel. You cannot transmit on an active channel with a squelch code or (if secure-
equipped) encryption key other than your own. If the PL code is the same as yours, the transmission will not be prevented. This feature can work in conjunction with either of the two above variations. You can override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying the radio. In other words, two PTT Button presses within the preprogrammed time limit. 76 Special Radio Features Secure Operations Secure radio operation provides the highest commercially available level of voice security on both trunked and conventional channels. Unlike other forms of security, Motorola digital encryption provides signaling that makes it virtually impossible for others to decode any part of an encrypted message. Note: Secure operation is not available in trunked analog modes. Select Secure Transmissions Turn the preprogrammed Secure/Clear switch to the secure position (D). c Note:
If the selected channel is programmed for clear-
only operation when you press the PTT button, you see CLR TX ONLY, and you hear an invalid mode tone. CLR TX ONLY Invalid mode tone The radio will not transmit until you set the Secure/
Clear switch to the clear position (E). Select Clear Transmissions Turn the preprogrammed Secure/Clear switch to the clear position (E). Note:

ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 77 Special Radio Features Managing Encryption Key Loading Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for equipment connections and setup. 1 Attach the KVL to your radio. KEYLOADING When it is attached, the display will show KEYLOADING, and all other radio functions, except for power down, backlight, and volume, will be locked out. 2 Press the PTT button on the KVL. This will load the encryption keys into your radio. When the key has been loaded successfully, the radio will sound a short tone for single-key radios; for multikey radios, an alternating tone will be heard. Multikey The multikey feature allows your radio to be equipped with as many as 48 different encryption keys and supports the DES-OFB algorithm. Conventional Multikey The encryption keys can be tied
(strapped), on a one-per-channel basis, through radio service software. In addition, you can have operator-selectable keys, operator-selectable keysets, and operator-selectable key erasure. If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption keys are strapped to the talkgroups. Trunked Multikey If you use your radio for both conventional and trunked applications, you will have to strap your encryption keys for trunking on a per-talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In addition, you may strap a different key to other features 78 Special Radio Features for example, dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or emergency talkgroup. You can have operator-selectable key erasure.

!
C a u t i o n The XTS 5000 radio casting has two vent ports that allow for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke these vents with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create leak paths into the radio and the radios submergibility will be lost.
(For XTS 5000 R Radios Only) The XTS 5000 R radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum submersion time of 4 hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio. If the radio battery contact area has been submerged in water, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the radio. If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio well so that any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the audio quality of the radio. Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician. ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 97 Helpful Tips Cleaning To clean the external surfaces of your radio:
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 unnecessarily. Never carry the radio by the antenna. Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not submerge the radio unless it is a ruggedized, XTS 5000 R model. 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. 98 Helpful Tips Service Proper repair and maintenance procedures will assure efficient operation and long life for this product.

ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 99 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 discharged 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 105. 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 through:
LED and sounds conventional fuel gauge symbol on the display smart fuel gauge symbol on the display 100 Helpful Tips you see the LED flash red when the PTT button is pressed you hear a low-battery chirp (short, high-pitched tone) LED and Sounds When your battery is low:
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 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 ASTRO Digital XTS 5000 Model III 101 Helpful Tips nationwide Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) program for NiCd battery collection and recycling. Many retailers and dealers participate in this program. 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.
