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.
Enabling the Secure Transmission
1 > or < to Secure and press the Menu Select button directly
below SEC.
2 The display shows m, Secure on and the current key, if
multi-key has been enabled.
3 Monitor the mode to be sure it is not in use.
4 Press PTT button to transmit.
Note: If the selected channel is preprogrammed for clear-only
operation – when you press the PTT button, an invalid
mode tone sounds and the display shows Clear TX
only.
The radio will not transmit until you disable the secure
mode.
Clearing the Secure Transmission
1 > or < to Secure and press the Menu Select button directly
below SEC.
