2.12 DISPLAY
The transceiver has a two line, 48 character LED display which gives information about the selected band. On the top
line is shown the zone number, channel name and rotary knob function. The bottom line displays the soft key menu,
the band selected, and the ESW/TSW condition. Also displayed are letters and symbols indicating scan,
direct/repeater talk around, monitor, secure, priority and call. In addition to the character display, there are two LED
indicators on the left. The top LED indicates a signal is being received on the selected band while the bottom LED
indicates that any one or more of the installed bands are transmitting.
2.13 GENERAL OPERATION
Switch on the transceiver as described in 2.3. Select the desired band by pressing the appropriate knob. Select the
same band on the audio panel. Press the knob again so that CHAN shows up on the top right of the display. Rotate the
knob until the desired channel or talk group is selected. Press the knob until VOL is again shown on the display. You
can adjust the volume by waiting until a signal is received or by pressing F1 (factory programmed for monitor function)
and adjusting the rotary knob. The radio is ready to use. Remember that the band selected by pressing the rotary
knobs is what is displayed on the screen but the band selected by the audio panel is band that you are actually
transmitting and receiving on. If another band is displayed, the rotary knob for the band you are using is still operating
the volume level. To use the DTMF key pad while transmitting, the band you are using must be displayed on the
screen.
2.14 RADIO SERVICE SOFTWARE (RSS™ for DOS or CPS™ or Windows)
To make any changes to the programming in the radio, RSS™ or CPS™ software must be used. There is no provision
in the radio to allow the user to change frequencies, zones, talk groups, etc. CPS™ software can be purchased from
your local Motorola dealer. A Motorola Radio Interface Box (RIB) is required to connect the computer to the TDFM-
600/6000. Each band in the TDFM-600/6000 is considered an XTS-3000 (normally) or an XTS-5000 (upgrade)
portable by the CPS™ software. To program a band in the transceiver, it must be selected by pressing the appropriate
knob before running the CPS™. Follow the instructions supplied with the CPS™ and RIB. The radio cable supplied
with the RIB will not connect to the TDFM-600/6000, therefore you will need to fabricate or purchase the XTS-3000 or
XTS-5000 type programming cable.
