Getting Started; Turning Radio On/Off; Adjusting Volume; Reading The Display - Motorola XT460 Quick Start Manual

GETTING STARTED

For the following explanations, refer to "Parts Of The
Radio" on page 4 of the user guide.

TURNING RADIO ON/OFF

To turn ON the radio, rotate the ON/OFF/Volume Knob
clockwise. The radio plays one of the following:
• Power up tone and channel number announcement, or
• Battery level and channel number announcements, or
• Silent (Audible tones disabled)
The LED blinks red briefly.
To turn the radio OFF, rotate the ON/OFF/Volume Knob
counterwise until you hear a 'click' and the radio LED
indicator turns OFF.

ADJUSTING VOLUME

Turn the ON/OFF/Volume Knob clockwise to increase the
volume, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume.
Note: Do not hold the radio too close to the ear when it is at a
high volume setting or when adjusting the volume setting.

Note: The radio display shown here is for icon location only.
Each radio display may appear different (channel and
code) based on the pre-programmed radio defaults and
features available in the model or region. Pressing any
button, except the PTT button, will turn on the backlight.

SELECTING A CHANNEL

Use the Channel Selector Knob to access a specific
channel.
During powering on or switching channel, the voice
annunciation will confirm the channel number.
Program each channel separately. Each channel has its
own Frequency, Interference Eliminator Code and Scan
Settings.

TALKING AND MONITORING

It is important to monitor for traffic before transmitting to
avoid 'talking over' someone who is already transmitting.
To monitor, press and hold the SB1(*) button to access
channel traffic. If no activity is present, you will hear 'static'.
To release, press the SB1 button again. Once channel
traffic has cleared, proceed with your call by pressing the
PTT button. When transmitting, the radio LED will be solid
red.
Note: In order to listen to all activities on a current channel,
short press the SB1 button in order to set the CTCSS/
DPL code to 0. This feature is called "CTCSS/DPL Defeat
(Squelch set to SILENT)".
(*) This assumes SB1 button has not been programmed for a
different mode.
