General Radio Operations

Your radio is ready for use after a fully-charged battery has been installed. However, your radio 
should be programmed in order to be fully compatible with any existing DTR Series radios and to 
fully utilize all radio features. 

Refer to Chapter 3 - Advanced Radio Operations.

Turning Your Radio On or Off

Press 

 

to turn your radio on.

The radio chirps and the display briefly shows 

Motorola

.

The display shows the radio Unit ID or Name, current Scroll list setting, time, date, and the available 
Option key selections. If the radio has been assigned a unique Unit Name, the name will display 
rather than the Unit ID for both the radio and any Contacts.

Press and hold 

 to turn the radio off.

Adjusting the Speaker Volume

The 

Volume Control

 buttons are located on the upper left side of the radio. To adjust the speaker

the volume level. When either button is pressed, the display shows a bar chart indicating the present 
level for the volume.
