Handset Operation
Adding a Handset to your mobile will give you increased functionality such
as Phone Operations and Message Mail. See the Handset Manual (LM2000)
to learn all the basic features of the Handset. When the handset is used with
the Advanced Feature Mobile, all functionality is routed to the handset.
This section explains how the handset works when it ships from the factory.
Many features are programmable by your organization. Be sure to refer to
your organization’s instructions to find out the differences.
Emergency Group Call
Emergency Group Call - Provides priority access to talkgroup members, and
provides visible and audible indications of an emergency condition. The
emergency call will take place on a pre-programmed emergency talkgroup or
the last selected talkgroup (depending on how the radio is programmed).
Note: The Emergency Key is still operable from the mobile keypad. The
handset Emergency Key is the upper most key on the PTT side.

Receiver Operations During an Emergency Call
Other members of the Emergency Group Call talkgroup can leave the emer-
gency call and change modes (phone, group, private) while involved in the
call.
While listening to the emergency call, the receiving unit will not receive
phone, Call Alert, Message Mail, Status Message, Private Conversation, or
other group calls for the duration of the emergency call.
57
Status Message
Status Message lets you send a pre-defined message to the dispatcher or to
another user’s ID. Up to 10 pre-defined alphanumeric Status Messages are
available such as “AT LUNCH” or ”EN ROUTE”.
You can also send any numeric Status Message from 1-255. A Status Mes-
sage can be sent by selecting both the Status Message and target ID (alias) of
the person who is to receive the Status Message. You can cut talk time to a
minimum by sending Status Messages. You can also leave a Status Message
for receivers while they are away from their radios.

IMPORTANT GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
YOUR iDEN ADVANCED FEATURE MOBILE.
Efficient Mobile Operation
•
For the safe and efficient operation of your mobile, observe these guide-
lines. Your mobile is a radio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it
receives, and also sends out, radio frequency (RF) energy. The mobile
operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz, and employs digi-
tal modulation techniques. When you use your mobile, the system han-
dling your call controls the power level at which your mobile transmits.
The power level can range from 0.01 of a watt to 3.0 watts.
Do not operate your mobile when a person is within two feet (0.6 meters)
of the antenna unless that person is shielded from the antenna by a metal
surface such as the roof of the car. Otherwise you may impair call quality,
may cause your mobile to operate at at higher power level than is neces-
sary, and may expose that person to RF energy in excess of the levels
established by the updated ANSI Standard.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
•
In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and in
1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982
ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human exposure to RF
energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities,
government health agencies, and industry, after reviewing the available
body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of
this updated Standard.
The design of your mobile complies with this updated Standard. If you
want to limit RF exposure even further, you may choose to control the
duration of your calls and operate your mobile in the most power-
efficient manner.
70
Antenna Care and Replacement
•
•
Do not use the mobile with a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna
comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Replace a dam-
aged antenna immediately. Use only the supplied or approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
mobile and may violate FCC regulations.
Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of communication devices in
the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your
mobile while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving,
• use hands-free operation, if available, and
• pull off the road and park before making or
answering a call if driving conditions so require.
Electronic Devices
•
Most modern electronic equipment – for example, equipment in hospitals
and cars – is shielded from RF energy. However, RF energy from your
mobile may affect some electronic equipment.
Consult your physician or the manufacturer of any personal medical
devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy. The operation of inade-
quately shielded medical devices may be adversely affected when a mobile
is ON.
Turn your mobile OFF in health care facilities when any regulations post-
ed in the areas instruct you to do so. Always request permission before
using your mobile near medical equipment.
RF energy may affect some electronic systems in motor vehicles. Check
with your vehicle manufacturer’s representative to be sure your mobile
will not affect the electronic system of your vehicle.
71
Children
•
•
•
Do not allow children to play with your mobile. It is not a toy. Children
could hurt themselves or others. Children also could damage the mobile,
or make calls that increase your service bills.
Blasting Areas
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your unit OFF when in
a “blasting area” or in areas posted: “turn off two-way radio.” Construc-
tion crews often use remote-control RF devices to set off explosives.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
Turn your mobile OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive
atmosphere. It is rare, but your mobile or its accessories could generate
sparks. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. They include: fueling areas such as gas stations, below
deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas
where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal
powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid, or explosives in the com-
partment of your vehicle which contains your mobile or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane)
must comply with the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-58). For a
copy of this standard, contact the National Fire Protection Association.
One Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publications Sales
Division.
For Vehicles Equipped with Air Bags
•
An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including
communication equipment, in the area over the air bag or in the air bag
deployment area. If the communication equipment is improperly installed
and the air bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
Installation of vehicle communication equipment should be performed by
a professional installer/technician qualified in the requirements for such
installations. An air bag’s size, shape, and deployment area can vary by
vehicle make, model, and front compartment configuration (for example,
bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate headquarters, if necessary, for
specific air bag information for the vehicle make, model, and front compart-
ment configuration involved in your communication equipment installation.
72
Cleaning Instructions
Clean the external surfaces with a damp cloth, using a mild solution of dish-
washing detergent and water. Some household cleaners may contain chemi-
cals which could seriously damage the unit. Avoid the use of any
petroleum-based solvent cleaners. Also, avoid applying liquids directly on the
mobile unit.
Status Indicator Table
The unit is roaming when
operating outside of your
play which visually tell you the different
“home” system.
There are two status indicators above the dis-
states of your unit. The left is yellow and the
right is bicolor red and green. Below is a
description of these indicators.
