Special Features
Emergency Alert Mode
The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in your
group of your need for urgent help. MT series radios will operate in an
automatic “hands-free” emergency control mode for a total of 30
seconds after activating the Emergency Alert. MT series radios in your
group will automatically advance the speaker volume to the maximum
setting and sound a warbling alert tone for 8 seconds. The alert tone is
emitted from your own radio speaker and the receiving radios in your
group. After the 8 second alert, any spoken words or incidental sounds at
your end will be transmitted to the group for 22 seconds. For the 30
second duration of Emergency Alert mode, MT series radio controls and
buttons will be locked to maximize reception of the emergency message.
1. Press and hold the Emergency Alert button for 3 seconds.
2. Release the button after the LED Indicator glows red and the alert tone
begins to sound. There is no need to continue to hold the Emergency
Alert button or use PTT for your message to be transmitted.
3. After the alert tone ends you may speak into the microphone. Your
voice or incidental sounds will be transmitted. The LED indicator will
continue to glow for the duration of the 22 second period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk Confirmation
Tone and the LED Indicator will extinguish. Operation then returns to
normal two-way mode.
Note:
All Motorola Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, and MT series radios are fully
compatible with the Emergency Alert feature. Radios other than EM, MJ,
MR, and MT series can receive the emergency alert signal, but will not
respond with adjusted volume settings, locked controls, or a warbling
alert tone. Users of other radio models set to the same channel and
Interference Eliminator Code will hear a steady tone for 8 seconds
followed by the voice transmission for 22 seconds.
Warning:
The Emergency Alert feature should only be used in the event
of an actual emergency. Motorola is not responsible if there is no
response to the emergency alert from the receiving group.
Built-in Flashlight

switch functions as a momentary control for the light.

volume, receive, transmit, send a call tone, and monitor channels. All
other functions are locked.

until
is no longer displayed.
Scanning Channels
Use scan to search the 14 channels for transmissions from unknown
parties, to find someone in your group who has accidentally changed
channels, or to quickly find unused channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and 2 modes of scanning ( basic and
advanced ) to make your search more effective. The basic scan mode
uses the channel and code combinations for each of the 14 channels as
you have set them ( or with the default code value of 1). The “Advanced
Scan” mode will scan all channels for any and all codes, detect any
code in use, and use that code value temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel,” that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start the scan.
This means the initial channel (and code setting) is scanned more often
than the other 13 channels, and your radio will respond quickly to any
activity occurring on the home channel as a priority.
To start Scanning:
1. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the display, and the
radio will begin to scroll through the channel and code combinations.
2. When the radio detects channel activity matching the channel and
code combination, it stops scrolling and you can hear the
transmission.
3. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within five
seconds after the end of the transmission.
4. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds
after the end of any received activity.
5. To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
To start Advanced Scanning:
1. Set the Interference Eliminator Code to “zero” or OFF.
2. Briefly press the
key. The scan
will appear in the display, and
the radio will begin to scroll through the channels. No Interference
Eliminator Codes will filter what is heard.
3. When the radio detects channel activity with ANY code (or NO
code), it stops scrolling and you can hear the transmission. Any
Interference Eliminator Code that may be in use by that party will be
detected and displayed.
4. To respond and talk to the person transmitting, press
within five
seconds of the end of the transmission. The radio will transmit using
the newly detected Interference Eliminator Code.
5. The radio will resume scrolling through the channels five seconds
after the end of any received activity.
6. To stop scanning, briefly press the
key.
Scanning Notes:
1. If you press
while the radio is scrolling through inactive
channels, the transmission will be on the “home channel”. Scanning
will resume five seconds after the end of your transmission. You may
press the
key to stop scanning at any time.
2. If the radio stops on an undesired transmission, you may immediately
resume the scan by briefly pressing
or
.
3. If the radio repeatedly stops on an undesired transmission, you may
temporarily remove that channel from the scan list by pressing and
holding
or
for three seconds. You may remove more than one
channel in this way.
4. To restore the removed channel(s) to the scan list, turn the radio off
and then back on, or exit and re-enter the scanning mode by
pressing
.
5. You cannot remove the home channel from the scan list.
6. In Advanced Scan, the detected code will only be used for one
transmission. You must note the code, exit scan, and set that
detected code on that channel to permanently use the detected code.
