General Information

General
Safety Information
Before using these products, read the
operating instructions for safe usage
contained in the Product Safety and RF
Exposure booklet 6804113J25.
The MTM800E is restricted to occupational use only to
satisfy ICNIRP RF energy exposure requirements. Before
using the products, read the RF energy awareness
information and operating instructions in the Product Safety
and RF Exposure booklet (Motorola Publication part number
Safety Leaflet 6804113J25) to ensure compliance with RF
energy exposure limits.
Keep this User Guide and the Product Safety and RF
Exposure booklet in a safe place and make it available to

Disposal Information
The European Union Waste of Electrical and
Electronic Equipment directive requires that
products sold into EU countries must have the
crossed out trashbin label on the product (or the package in
some cases). As defined by the WEEE directive, this cross-
out trashbin label means that customers and end-users in EU
countries should not dispose of electronic and electrical
equipment or accessories in household waste.
Customers or end-users in EU countries should contact their
local equipment supplier representative or service centre for
information about the waste collection system in their
country.

The Motorola products described in this manual may include
copyrighted Motorola computer programs stored in

United States and other countries preserve for Motorola
certain exclusive rights for copyrighted computer programs,
but not limited to, including the exclusive right to copy or
reproduce in any form the copyrighted computer program.
Accordingly, any copyrighted Motorola computer programs
contained in the Motorola products described in this manual
may not be copied, reproduced, modified, reverse-
engineered, or distributed in any manner without the express
written permission of Motorola. Furthermore, the purchase of
Motorola products shall not be deemed to grant either directly

Product Specific Information

• Max RF Power 3.16 Watts
• Max. Speaker Load 10 Watts at 4 Ohms
• Antenna Impedance 50 Ohms
• Ambient Temperature Range - 30 °C to + 60 °C

If the terminal is in service, the surface

temperature can rise up to 70 °C.
Do not touch the hot surface

• Operating Time Continuous / Intermittent

In general, the terminal transmit and receive time (operating
cycle time) is determined by the communication system. On
overload, respectively on extensive use beyond the systems
specifications at high ambient temperatures, the terminal is
protected by its thermal control, which cuts down the RF output
power, thus reducing the terminal coverage range.

Icon Conventions
The document set is designed to give the reader more visual
cues. The following graphic icons are used throughout the

General
documentation set. These icons and their associated
meanings are described below.
The signal word Warning with the associated
safety icon implies information that,
if disregarded, could result in death or serious
injury, or serious product damage.

The signal word Caution with the associated

safety icon implies information that, if
disregarded, may result in minor or moderate
injury, or serious product damage.

The signal word Caution may be used without the

safety icon to state potential damage or injury that is
not related to the product.
Notes contain information more important than the surrounding
text, such as exceptions or preconditions. They also refer the
reader elsewhere for additional information, remind the reader
how to complete an action (when it’s not part of the current
procedure, for instance), or tell the reader where something is
located on the screen. There is no warning level associated with
a Note.

Selecting TMO or DMO Operation

General
In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) the MTM800E is used
with the infrastructure services within system coverage.
In Direct Mode Operation (DMO) the MTM800E is used
without infrastructure services required.

While operating in DMO the propagation travels directly from the

transmitting terminal antenna to the receiving terminal antenna,
with no assistance from any base station or tower. Therefore,
the range is critically dependent on the position of the user and
the antenna. To achieve best results, hold the terminal in the
hand as high as comfortably possible, and be sure not to
obstruct the antenna in any way. Be sure that the antenna is
clear from the body, cables, or other obstructions. As there is no
tower-mounted base station to assist, and the two users are
usually standing at ground level, the range is usually shorter
than that can be achieved towards a tower or hilltop. Any
obstructions (hills, buildings, etc.) between the users will further
decrease the range. Conversely, raising the terminal higher or
moving to a higher location may improve the range.
A MTM800E in DMO can communicate with the trunked
system (and vice-versa) through a gateway device. To use

23
 that feature, please enable the gateway option in your
MTM800E (see Gateway/Repeater Selection” on page 49.).
In DMO it is only possible to place Group Calls, Emergency
Group Calls and Private Simplex Calls.

Entering TMO or DMO

Enter TMO or DMO in one of the following ways:
• From the Home display press Optns and select Direct
Mode if the MTM800E is in TMO.
• From the Home display press Optns and select Trunked
Mode if the MTM800E is in DMO.
• Press Menu and select More... > Networks > Trunked
Mode if the MTM800E is in DMO.
• Press Menu and select More... > Networks > Direct
Mode if the MTM800E is in TMO.
• Press the TMO/DMO one-touch button (if programmed by
your Service Provider).
Your terminal can alert you of an incoming call. Select the alert
settings in the Tones menu items.

TMO Calls
You can make and receive the following types of calls when
the MTM800E operates in Trunked Mode:
• Group Calls
• Private Calls
• Phone Calls
• PABX Calls – local (office) extension calls
• Emergency Calls
DMO Calls
You can make and receive Group Calls when the MTM800E
operates in Direct Mode (DMO). This includes Emergency
Group and Private Calls.
The MTM800E returns to the Home display when there is no
activity for a few seconds.
24
PTT Double Push
This feature, if enabled by your Service Provider, allows you
to send the tone when the radio is in idle or Group Call mode
by pressing PTT twice.
After the D-PTT tone is played, the user can press and hold
the PTT once again to get the permission to talk. Otherwise if

Getting Started
the user presses the PTT while the D-PTT tone is played, it is
ignored.
After D-PTT tone is sent keeping PTT pressed will result in
permission to talk. D-PTT tone is not audible on sending
radio.

Individual Call
Talk Group Dialing by Index
You can press Talk Group speed number then to join
the Talk Group. Press Attach to confirm.
Non-Emergency calls:
• Pressing PTT
If the call type is “Group” or Private”, then pressing PTT
initiates Group or Private Simplex call accordingly. Otherwise
special indication is given to the user.
• Pressing Send key
If the call type is “PABX” or “Phone” or “Private”, then
pressing Send initiates PABX or Phone or Duplex private call
accordingly. If not allowed a special indication is given to the
user.

25
Incoming Calls During Dialing
The MTM800E remains affiliated to the last Talk Group and
receives any group calls. An Incoming call is indicated to the
user and the dialing process is interrupted. Non-emergency
call does not suspend dialling but the user is able to hear the
tone of incoming call. When the terminal receives a private or
a phone call, termianl indicates and gives the option to the
user to reject or accept it. If the user accepts the call, dialling
process ends. When the user rejects it the terminal goes
back to the dialling process.
Entering Emergency Mode During Dialing
The dialing process stops if during it the user tries to go to
emergency mode
Incoming Long Text Message During Dialing
The Long Text Message is indicated on the display and it
interrupts the dialing process.
Changing Call Type
By dialing from the idle screen the user is given the possibility
to change the Type of the Call.

Modifying the Type of Call

The infrastructure can modify the type of call you started.
For example, you might start a Simplex Private Call, and the
infrastructure could modify the call to a Group Call.
The terminal will alert you of the modification and will display
the following messages, depending on the type of call:
• Call Modified (to Duplex)
• Call Modified Use PTT (modified to Simplex)
Continue the modified call depending on the type of call.
• Simplex Private Call modified from direct setup to hook setup:
a ringing tone will alert of the change.
• Simplex Private Call modified from hook setup to direct setup:
there will be no indication of the change.

26
Receiving Calls
Your MTM800E automatically receives the incoming call.
Additionally, if Inactivity Revert Mode is enabled, the
MTM800E returns automatically to the Home display, after
that call ends.
Inactivity Revert Mode will occur if configured by your Service

Getting Started
Provider.
Your MTM800E alerts you of an incoming call depending on
the setting you selected in the Tones menu option (see
page 123).
During message or contact editing, scrolling through the
menu and changing any configuration you will be alerted of
an incoming Group/Emergency/Broadcast Group Call if
configured by your Service Provider.

Pre-emptive Calling
Pre-emptive calling is particularly useful when you need to
speak urgently with a user whose terminal is busy in a non-
emergency voice call.
A pre-emptive priority call (PPC) is either an Emergency
Group Call or a Private PPC (Simplex or Duplex call).
This feature allows to disconnect the on-going lower priority
call and to connect to the incoming higher priority call.
To place a PPC, see the Emergency Operation and Private
Call sections in the user guide.
Your MTM800E receives the call via speaker or Telephone
Style Handset earpiece, according to the setting used when
the PPC is received.
For call alert, see settings in the Tones menu option (page 123).

Receiving a PPC is explained in the following paragraphs.

In the screens, <Any> in Use refers to any of the non-
emergency voice calls: Group, Private, Phone, or PABX.

27
Receiving an Emergency Group Call during a Call

Local Area Service

This mode, also called Fallback Mode, allows more than one
terminal from the same site to communicate when the link
between the site and network central controller fails.
Entering and exiting Local Area Service (that is, returning to
System Wide Services) is done automatically.
This mode can be disabled by your Service Provider.

31
Entering Local Area Service
When the MTM800E receives a Local Area Service
indication from the system, the following occurs:
• The MTM800E sounds a tone.
• The display shows the “Local Area Service” message.
• Display icons and soft keys turn green.
• Any call in progress is dropped upon entering Local Area
Service mode.
If configured by your Service Provider, this message/alert is
periodically repeated to remind you that the MTM800E is still
operating in Local Area Service mode.
The following features are available while the MTM800E is in
Local Area Service:
• Registration
• Attachment
• Group Call
• Emergency Call
• Emergency Alarm

Exiting Local Area Service

When the link with the central network controller is re-
established, the MTM800E exits Local Area Service and the
following occurs:
• The MTM800E sounds a tone
• Any call in progress during Local Area Service is dropped.

Packet Data
The Packet Data (PD) Service allows you to transfer data in a
TETRA system using the Internet Protocol (IP). Check with
your Service Provider for the availability of this feature.
For transferring data from a standard computer over the air
connect the computer via the Active Data Cable GMKN1022
with your MTM800E. Your Service Provider has to setup
additional applications on your computer.

32
 If set up by your Service Provider it is possible to accelerate
the transmission by using the Multi-Slot Packet Data (MSPD)
Service (refer to Packet Data” on page 148.).

Dual Control Head

TMO Group Call

General
A Group Call is an instant communication between you and
others in a talkgroup that you select. Participants may join
(late entry) and leave an on-going Group Call. A talkgroup is
a pre-defined set of subscribers enabled to participate in and/
or invoke a Group Call, that is set up by your Service

TMO Group Call

Provider.
Talkgroups appear on your display as names or numbers (for
example: Sales, Service, Electricians, Talkgrp10).
Talkgroups can be divided into many folders. Each folder
may contain several talkgroups.
For ease of use, your MTM800E also provides the ability to:
• Perform an alphabetical search of the talkgroup aliases.
Scroll through the entire talkgroup list.
• Organise your groups into three folders (default name for
the first favorite folder is called My Groups which is set up
by your Service Provider).
Your talkgroups may be organized into scan lists (set up by
your Service Provider, or by yourself through the Menu).
When you activate one of these scan lists, your MTM800E
will continuously monitor the activities of the selected
talkgroups.
By assigning priorities to the talkgroups defined in the scan
list, you will be capable of accepting calls that have higher
priority than the on-going call.
You can go to talkgroup, folder, or scanning selection when
the terminal is idle.
Pressing PTT during talkgroup selection switches to a new
group and starts a call.

35
 Each talkgroup may have one associated Announcement
Talkgroup (ATG) that it monitors (if set up by your Service
Provider).
An ATG is a special group which is linked to a number of
talkgroups and has the highest priority level, thus enabling
broadcast of the call to all these talkgroups.
When an ATG is selected, the scanning icon is not displayed.
The MTM800E monitors the ATG scan list instead of the
selected scan list. The ATG scan list contains all the
talkgroups associated with a selected ATG. Your Service
Provider should advise what talkgroups are associated with
which Announcement Talkgroup.
Your MTM800E will always monitor the Group Calls in the
ATG scan list. To place an Announcement Call, you must first
select the specified Announcement Talkgroup as advised by
your Service Provider, otherwise you will only be able to
participate when an Announcement Talkgroup is received.
Activation and deactivation of talkgroup scanning has no
effect on the ATG scan list.

Selecting a Group
You can select a talkgroup in one of the following ways, by
using the:
• rotary knob
• navigation key
• alphabetical search
• folder search
• numeric keypad entry - Speed Dialing (if configured by
your Service Provider)
For group scrolling configuration, see page 40.
When you navigate in the favorite folders and select a DMO

1. current folder
2. parent folder to the current folder
3. default talkgroup folder which is defined by the Service
Provider.

37
Using the Numeric Keypad - Speed Dial
From the Home display, you can dial a group by entering its
speed number via the keypad. This feature is called

Group Scrolling Configuration
Your Service Provider can configure scrolling via rotary knob
or navigation key as follows:
• Scroll to next folder — when the folder end is reached
during group scrolling, further scrolling switches to the
group list in the next folder.
For example: Folder 1 has Group11 and Group12. Folder 2
has Group21 and Group22. Group11, Group12, Group21,
Group22 will appear during scrolling.
OR
• Stay in folder — when the folder end is reached during
group scrolling, further scrolling restarts the folder group
list. To move to the next Folder, you should select it.
For example: Folder 1 has Group11 and Group12. Folder 2
has Group21 and Group22. Select Folder 1: Group11,
Group12, Group11,Group12 will appear during scrolling.
Change to Folder 2: Group 21, Group 22, Group 21, and
Group 22 will appear during scrolling.
In addition, your Service Provider might configure the rotary
knob as follows:
• End-Stop Rotary Knob Scrolling — the rotary knob will
stop when it reaches the last group in the folder, and a
tone will alert you that you have reached the last group in
the folder. Use the navigation key to continue scrolling
through the list.

Transmit Inhibit
You can activate the Transmit Inhibit (TXI) Mode before
entering RF sensitive areas, e.g. in hospitals or in potentially
explosive areas, where safety can be jeopardized due to
MTM800E transmission radiation.

Radiation of the MTM800E is only suppressed if the TXI Mode is

activated or the MTM800E is separated from power supply.
In TXI Mode the MTM800E will not transmit under any
circumstances, except for the Emergency Call, which can be
initiated even if the MTM800E is in TXI Mode.
All MTM800E functions and keys which cause transmission,
e.g. registration to the network, change of talkgroup or folder,
sending messages, pressing PTT, etc. are disabled. In this
case the display shows “Not Allowed In TXI Mode” and the
MTM800E sounds the “Transmit Inhibit” tone.
When no danger to safety exists anymore (for instance if you
leave the RF sensitive area), the TXI Mode can be
deactivated and the MTM800E returns to standard operation.
Setting the TXI Mode is described in “Setting Transmit Inhibit
(TXI) Mode” on page 147.
Activated Transmit Inhibit is indicated by the solid orange
LED and flashing between the two displays:

Dynamic Group Number Assignment (DGNA)

DGNA provides the ability for a network operator or
authorised user to dynamically allocate new, or update
existing talkgroups to selected terminals over the air
interface.

44
 Using supplementary services messages (SS-DGNA), the
network operator can command your terminal to add
talkgroups or to update the existing talkgroups, or to delete
talkgroups from the list. This operation is performed by
transmitting the data into your MTM800E.
Your Service Provider can gather some Talkgroups under one
Super-group and transmit it to your MTM800E as a DGNA. In
such a case, you will be able to participate in calls to/from all the
groups in the Super-group.

DMO Group Call

General
In DMO, the MTM800E can be used without your Service
Provider’s infrastructure.
Direct Mode allows communication with other terminals also
operating in Direct Mode, which are on the same frequency
and talkgroup as your MTM800E.
In DMO it is only possible to place Group Calls, Emergency
Group Calls and Private Simplex Calls.

DMO Group Call

You can receive a call:
• From the selected talkgroup
• From other users within talkback range (if configured by
your Service Provider). This is called an InterMNI (Mobile
Network identity) call.
• From an open group. (An open group is a super-group to
which all DMO groups belong.)
When you start a call, the members of the selected talkgroup
who have their units turned on, and are within the group
subscriber identity (as configured by the Service Provider),
will receive the transmission.
In DMO the MTM800E can communicate with the trunking
system (and vice-versa) if the Gateway option is enabled in
the MTM800E.
To enhance the terminal’s DMO coverage area the DMO
group can link to a repeater if the Repeater option is enabled
in the terminal. Additionally the GW + Rep (gateway and
repeater) communication mode can be used.
If Transmit Inhibit is activated while the terminal is set to
DMO, the PTT is disabled. You can only listen. For detailed
information on Transmit Inhibit, see page 44. DMO Talkgroup
selection is allowed when Transmit Inhibit is activated.

GPS Location Service

Your terminal’s GPS Location feature uses information from

Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth
to determine the approximate geographical location of your
terminal. The availability and accuracy of this location
information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate
it) will vary depending on the environment in which you are
using the terminal.
For example, GPS location fixes are often difficult to obtain
indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in
other situations where you have not established a clear
broad view of the sky.

SEE: IMPORTANT - Things to Keep in Mind.

The GPS location Service can assist your Dispatcher or
Colleagues in many ways such as more efficient deployment
of resources or locating your terminal if you trigger your
emergency service.
The terminal can be configured to display location
information on the terminal’s display or to send it over the air
to your dispatcher where it can be displayed in control center
(Please check with your Service Provider on the
configuration of your terminal).
It is possible to send the location information in TMO via
Packet Data, if the user activate this feature.
GPS Location Service

IMPORTANT - Things to Keep in Mind

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not
available (usually because your terminal cannot establish a
view of a wide area of open sky), the GPS feature of your
terminal WILL NOT WORK. Such situations include but are
not limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of tunnels or parking garages

99
 • Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure
• Near a powerful radio or television tower
• When your GPS antenna is covered (for example, by your
hand or other object) or facing the ground
• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of
your terminal
Even where location information can be calculated in such
situations, it may take longer to do so. Therefore, in any
emergency situation, always report your location to your
dispatcher.
Furthermore, please note that even where adequate signals
from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature will
only provide an approximate location, often within 20 - 100
meters from your actual location.

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes the GPS feature of your terminal may be unable
to complete a location calculation successfully. You will then
see a message indicating that your terminal cannot see
enough visible satellites.
To maximize the ability of your terminal to determine a
location fix please note the following guidelines:
• The GPS feature works best where there is nothing
between the GPS antenna and a large amount of open
sky. If possible, move your vehicle away from tall buildings
and foliage. While performance in a building is improved
by moving closer to windows, glass with certain sun
shielding films may block satellite signals.
• Position your vehicle to enhance reception, giving the
antenna clear access to satellite signals. Signals from
GPS satellites are transmitted to your GPS antenna. Do
not cover the antenna area with your fingers or anything
else.

100
 • Stay in network coverage. Depending on who your service
provider is, the network will provide your terminal with
information that helps determine your location more
quickly and accurately.

GPS Icon
When your terminal is receiving valid GPS location data, a
GPS icon will be shown in the display:

Please note, that during Emergency mode, your terminal will

not display the GPS icon even when receiving GPS location
data. If valid GPS location data is available when you leave
emergency mode the GPS icon will be displayed again.

 This estimate of accuracy of the calculated location is only a
very rough estimate and may vary substantially from the
actual accuracy of the approximate location information
reported.
This feature works in DMO and TMO modes when it is set by the
Service Provider.
The variation will vary in accordance to the GPS Configuration
set by your Service Provider.
The availability of the GPS Location menus is dependent on
your terminal configuration, please contact your Service
Provider for further details.

calculated (if available):
• The time the location was last calculated
• The latitude expressed in degrees, minutes, and seconds

• The number of satellites used to calculate the location. In
general, more satellites make for better accuracy. The
maximum is twelve satellites.

It may take your terminal several minutes to complete the
process of determining your location. During this time, a
message usually appears on your terminal’s display stating:
• Insufficient Visible Satellites, or
• Insufficient Visible Data
For tips on getting the best location calculation, see
“Enhancing GPS Performance” on page 100.
The Position screen displays the updated information.
To cancel a location calculation before it is completed:
Press Back to return to the previous screen.
Each time approximate location of your terminal is
calculated, the latest location information is stored in your
terminal and remains there even when your terminal is
powered off. You will see this information the next time you
view the Position screen.
If you received a terminal call or alert while attempting to
determine your location, the Position screen will disappear,
but your terminal will continue attempting to determine its
location. If it is successful, the new location information will
be displayed the next time you view the Position screen.

Long Text Messages
TETRA infrastructure is supporting messages up to 1000
characters long. You can see the number of characters left.
Received long text messages are editable and you can
forward and reply them. Inbox and Outbox is sharing the
memory. By receiving long text messages your storage area
can be filled very quickly so remember to delete old
messages.
Long Text Messages can be disabled by the Service Provider.

Store & Forward

This feature enables the host and mobile stations to
communicate with each other without having to be available
at the same time. The message is stored until the recipient is
affiliated to the system or the expiration time was exceeded.

Call-Out
This feature allows the user to receive call-out alerts. When
the Call-Out messages has been received by the radio, it
interrupts current services and attends to the call-out alert
without any further delay. After call-out alert has been
cleared, the radio exits Call-Out mode and reverts back to
normal mode. User is able only to receive Emergency Calls
during Call-Out mode. There are four types of the Call-Out
alert:
• Normal call-out
Messages

• Storm plan – it is sent to a group

can only accept the Call-Out by Test Group

pressing any button and is moved to Car accident

information phase (soft keys are not
labelled).

163
 • Fallback Mode – it includes only voice communication. It
can be cleared manually
Fallback is only possible when Radio is in Local Site Trunking.

• Test Call-Out – dispatcher has the ability to test this

feature. Radio is generating the tone with “Call-Out Test”
on the display. Only one softkey is enabled “Test OK” to
confirm and to clear the test.
Interactions when the user is in other mode:
• TXI Mode – users can read the message but they can not
respond to it. They have an option to leave the TXI Mode
by pressing soft key or reject the Call-Out message.
• DMO Mode – Call-Out is not supported.
• Emergency Mode – all the Call-out alert are ignored.

Call-Out service phases

• Alerting phase – user receives a Call-Out message.
The alarm tone indicates the message text is displayed
and under it there are three options for the user to pick:
Accept, Reject or Menu. If the user will accept the alert no
other service from this point can interrupt. Menu key gives
more choices (display on the right).

Call-Out 1 Call-Out 1 Back

Reject

Severity-1 Standby
Test Group Reject
Messages Select

Car accident Exit

The user can stop the alert tone by pressing PTT or any of the soft
keys.

164
 • Information phase – user is still in the call-out mode and he
can receive more detail information about the incident that
occurred via subsequent text or the voice message. The
user can query for more information using voice group call
or Call-Out text function which enables the user to send a
text message to the Service Provider. User can always
respond and send back the text or the voice message
using voice group call.

Call-Out Box
CO Box is giving to the user the option to view and store the
Call-Out messages for future reference. To view them press
Menu > Messages > CO Box. When the radio is in Call-Out
Mode, you can only read the ongoing Call-Out messages.
