Getting Started

Any time your radio is powered on, the display provides you with information and options.

Text Area

The display shown is in idle. The idle screen appears when your radio is on, but not engaged in any activity.

Menu Icons

Menu icons appear when you are accessing a particular menu. The icon for that menu appears in the upper left corner of the display.

Status Icons

Status icons usually appear in first row at the top of the display. Some appear at all times. Others appear only when your radio is engaged in certain activities or when you have activated certain features.

Text Area

This area displays menus, messages, unit names or IDs, and other information.

Display Options

Two display options appear at the bottom of most screens. You select a display option by pressing the below it.

Menu Key

Many features provide context-sensitive menus that let you access related features and actions. the icon appears any time a context-sensitive menu is available. Press to access the menu.

Menus and Lists

Your radio???s features are arranged in menus, submenus, and lists. To access the items in a menu or list, scroll using either the or keys.

Antenna

Your DTR Series radio may be equipped with a removable antenna. To install the antenna, rotate it clockwise firmly into the fitting on the top of the radio until it seats into the radio housing.

WARNING: DO NOT use your radio without an antenna.

Battery

WARNING: To avoid a possible explosion: DO NOT replace the battery in any area labeled ???hazardous atmosphere.??? DO NOT discard batteries in a fire.

Battery Life

Your radio uses a rechargeable Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery.

Based on 5% transmit, 5% receive, 90% standby (standard duty cycle):

???NNTN4655 Li-Ion; Up to 19 Hours

???SNN5706 Li-Ion; Up to 14.5 Hours

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, lasts 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, lasts even longer.

WARNING: Care should be taken to avoid external short circuiting of the battery. A sustained high-rate discharge (for example, a paper clip placed accidentally across the battery contacts) may permanently damage the battery, void the battery warranty, and create a burn or fire hazard.

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. The battery should be at about 77??F (25??C) (room temperature), whenever possible. Charging a cold battery (below 50?? F [10??C]) may result in leakage of electrolyte and ultimately in failure of the battery.

Charging a hot battery (above 95??F [35??C]) 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.

WARNING: Do not attempt to change or charge the battery in a hazardous atmosphere.

To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.

Charging the Radio

While the radio is charging, the display lights and the battery status icon flashes to show the status. The battery will charge in approximately 1-3 hours, and battery gauge will show all segments and stop flashing when fully charged.

Charging using the Drop-in Charging Tray

NOTE: Use of the Drop-in Charging Tray is recommended for daily use.

1.Place the charging tray on a flat surface.

2.Connect the plug-in charger and drop-in charging tray by inserting the plug into the rear of the drop-in charging tray.

Although factory programmed with default PublicGroups, DTR Series radios require user-specific programming in order to fully benefit from their digital features.

Radios can be programmed using the Programming Software (00230), which requires the Programming Cable, or in a separate programming mode. The Programming Software is the recommended method for programming DTR Series radios, as it has archive and report capabilities that aid in both initial product configuration and fleet maintenance.

The separate programming mode allows access to modify and add contacts, update existing and add new quick notes, and access manager features (DTR2450 only) such as Remote Disable and Remote Monitoring. A mini keyboard is used to enter text into contacts and to modify saved text messages.

Entering Programming Mode

The following key sequence must be performed to enter the programming mode.

1.Hold down and press the PTT button three times.

2.Press the Right .
