MAEPF-22108-O Ant. MAEPF-23456-O batt. MAEPF-22665-B Rad. 3 3 Introduction Basic Radio Features Welcome to the Motorola MTS 2000 FLASHport TM portable radio. MTS 2000 radios are sophisticated, state-of-the-art communication units, with 16- and 160-mode models available in VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, or 900 MHz frequency ranges. Pioneering the latest technology in radio electronics, Motorola MTS 2000 radios provide features that were once only available in more expensive radios.
4 4 Getting Started Antennas Radio/Antenna Identification An information label is attached to the back of your radio (chassis), just under the battery contacts. A radio model number is identified on this label. A typical model number might be H01SDC9AA1AN. The fourth position of the model number (in this case “S”) identifies the operating frequency band of the radio. The Radio Operating-Frequency Char t lists all four th-position alpha characters and corresponding frequency band.

12 12 Getting Started (cont.) Alert Tone Indications The MTS 2000 radio generates a number of audible tones to indicate radio operating conditions: • Low Battery – A low-battery condition is indicated by a high-pitched, cricket-like “chirp-chirp” when the PTT switch is released following a transmission. • Successful Power-Up – A short, medium-pitched tone when the radio is first turned on indicates that the radio has passed its power-up self test and is ready for use.
13 13 Getting Started (cont.) Alert Tone Indications (cont.) • Call Alert™ (Page) Received – A group of four medium-pitched tones every five seconds indicates that your radio has received a Call Alert page. • Call Aler t™ (Page) Sent – A single medium-pitched tone (central acknowledge), followed by a group of four medium-pitched tones indicates that a Call Alert page sent by your radio has been received by the target radio.

Automatic Multiple Site Selection (AMSS) The automatic multiple site selection (AMSS) feature extends communications beyond the reach of a single trunked site (antenna location). In a system where wide-area coverage is required, multiple trunking sites are used. AMSS automatically switches the radio to a different site when the current-site signal becomes too weak.

107 107 Trunked Radio Features Operation (cont.) Dynamic Regrouping The dynamic regrouping feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios, operating in the same or different trunked modes, to a single special mode so that they can communicate with each other. This feature, enabled in each radio via the RSS, is typically used during special operations. When your radio has been dynamically regrouped, you will hear a distinct “gurgle” tone.
108 108 Trunked Radio Features Operation (cont.) Dynamic Regrouping (cont.) Select Enable and Disable The dispatcher may classify regrouped radios into either of two categories: “select enabled,” and “select disabled.” • Select-enabled radios are free to make mode changes to any available mode, including the dynamic regrouping mode. • Select-disabled radios cannot change modes, since the dispatcher has specifically chosen to force the radio to remain in the dynamic mode.
109 109 Trunked Radio Features Operation (cont.) SmartZoneTM Operation Radios that operate in a SmartZone system will enjoy the benefits that SmartZone brings over AMSS operation. Like AMSS, SmartZone is a wide-area coverage system that will allow up to 50 sites to be operational in the system.
110 110 Trunked Radio Features Operation (cont.) SmartZoneTM Operation (cont.) Site Switching in SmartZone Site Switching in SmartZone mainly uses signal strength to determine whether or not to switch sites. Other factors used to determine whether the radio should switch sites is the radio's preferred site selection (which is programmable via the RSS), and whether the radio is site locked or not.
111 111 Trunked Radio Features Operation (cont.) SmartZone Operation (cont.) Preferred Site Selection SmartZone radios can have up to eight sites that are individually set as either “always preferred,” “most preferred,” or “least preferred.” The default value is no preference. This feature is programmed via the RSS.
112 112 Trunked Radio Features Operation (cont.) SmartZone Operation (cont.) Site Trunking Site trunking occurs when a site is not longer able to participate in wide-area calls controlled by the zone controller. Radios operating in site trunking can only communicate with other radios at that site. All trunking features are still available. The radio will of course always be looking for a wide-area trunking site to lock onto if it roams into range of one.
MAEPF-23456-O 113 Batteries and Accessories Battery Information The MTS 2000 radio receives its power (7.5Vdc) from a rechargeable nickel-cadmium battery as listed in the accessories section.
