SAFETY S USER SAFETY, TRAINING, AND GENERAL INFORMATION READ THIS IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION BEFORE USING YOUR MOTOROLA HANDHELD PORTABLE TWO-WAY RADIO COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE STANDARDS Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines (listed below) regarding human exposure to radio SAFETY The information provided in this document supersedes the general safety information contained in u
SAFETY • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1- 1999 Edition • International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 • Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6.
• If you do not use a Motorola approved body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept 2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting.

hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Medical Devices • Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration.
OPERATIONAL WARNINGS For Vehicles With an Air Bag ! WARNING Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere, unless it is a radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as “Intrinsically Safe” (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). Do not remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS Antennas ! Caution Do not use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. SAFETY Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/ or bodily injury such as burns if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touch exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot.
INTRODUCTION Welcome to Motorola’s HT Series family of radio users. The HT1250•LS+, the Intelligent Radio, combines the very latest in two-way technology while delivering outstanding functionality at the touch of a button. The HT1250•LS+ portable radio operates on PassPort and LTR trunked and conventional radio systems. TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS PassPort is an enhanced trunking protocol developed by Trident Micro Systems that supports wide area dispatch networking.
by making repeaters available to all users after every transmission. HT1250•LS+ Portable Feature Highlights: CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS • • • Conventional radio systems typically refers to unit-to-unit communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater.

PASSPORT TRUNKING PassPort is an enhanced, wide-area trunking protocol developed by Trident Micro Systems. Up to 128 trunked sites can be linked together to form one PassPort system, which means that your communications can extend far beyond the reach of a single trunked site. SEAMLESS ROAMING Initial Registration Before communications with your talkgroup can begin, your radio needs to register on the PassPort system.
Note: If the radio performs a more extensive frequency search in order to attempt successful registration, you may see: 4 Upon successful PassPort Registration, you see: Roaming and Registering Between Sites 6($5&+,1* 5(* 6,7( ;;; Note: Your radio sounds a “Low-High” tone upon successful PassPort System registration. The ;;; number indicates the site within the PassPort system on which you have registered.
3 SITE/MIN VIEW Note: If the preprogrammed button is activated prior to or during registration, a bad key chirp is sounded and you see: There may be circumstances when you want to view the number of the PassPort site on which you are registered as well as your Mobile Identity Number (MIN). The display indicates the Home site num- ,$0 ;;;-<<<<< ber (ASID) and Mobile Identity Number. XXX indicates the ASID, YYYYY indicates the MIN.
To Start a Roam Request • When registration to a site with a higher RSSI than your current site is unavailable. 1 Press the preprogrammed Roam Request • When the preprogrammed button is pressed before the radio has collected its “neighbor list”. A Neighborlist” is a list of frequencies from adjoining sites within the PassPort system that are used during the roam process. button (see page 22).
Note: The radio then attempts to return to the previously registered site. 3 Press the preprogrammed Site Lock button again to make your selection. Note: SITE LOCK Because of the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) feature, the HT1250•LS+ radio automatically roams to a different site when the signal falls below the RSSI level programmed in your radio by your dealer. In some instances (inside a building or in fringe areas), you may want to prevent your radio from roaming.
TROUBLESHOOTING While in PassPort zones, there are some specific display messages that indicate you should contact your dealer for assistance. Message What it Means “Invalid Group ID” Your dealer needs to verify talkgroup programming in your radio or the PassPort system. Your radio requires reactivation on the PassPort system (not applicable to conventional and LTR functionality). Blank display upon power up with a full charged battery.
