In addition, the MT 2000 radio includes pro- grammable function controls and radio-to-radio cloning for increased user flexibility. Of course, the MT 2000 radio family incorporates the quality and relia- bility you have come to expect from Motorola—the leader in FM two-way radio communications.

zoning capabilities in both of its models. The A4 model accommodates 48 channels through three zones of 16 channels each. Without zoning operation, the A4 model is capable of 16 channels selectable from the rotary selector knob. The A7 model has 160 channels avail- able through 10 zones that each have 16 channels. The A7 model can also accommodate all of its 160 channels without zoning operation via channel selection from the standard 15 button keypad. If rotary only channel selection is desired on the A7, only 16 chan- nels can be accessed without zone operation. AlphaNumeric Display Both MT 2000 models feature easy to read back-lit alphanumeric LCD displays which provide the user with instant channel and radio status information at a glance. The A4 model has a top mounted six character star-burst display, and the A7 model has a front mounted 14 character dot matrix display. The A4 top mount display is “operator flippable” so it can be read from the front, or while hanging from one’s belt. All MT 2000 radios also feature easy to read radio function annunciators as part of the display windows to provide the user with vital radio indicators. Mode and Zone Naming Both MT 2000 models are field programmable for both mode and zone naming. Naming of modes and zones reduces the risk of a user being on an incorrect fre- quency setting because of cryptic or ambiguous nomenclature. A combination of mode and zone names can be six characters in length on the A4 top display model, and 14 characters in length on the A7 front display model. Keypad Operation (A7 model only) A set of 15 back-lit buttons constitutes the keypad on the front display A7 MT 2000 model. This keypad pro- vides the user with additional access to the radio’s fea- tures through the use of navigation buttons. With it, the radio’s features can be viewed in a scrolling list three at a time, with all functions just one keystroke away. In fact, through the programming software, the user can determine the order in which those features most important to him appear in the scrolling order. That way, those most needed radio attributes can be accessed quickly and easily. A dedicated “home” but- ton is available so a user can easily exit any function and return quickly to the last mode use. Additionally, in those situations where noise must be kept to a mini- All MT 2000 radios include the following hardware configurations: 8 Belt Clip 8 Antenna 8 Side Mounted Monitor Button 8 Two Programmable Side Mounted Buttons 8 “Quick Disconnect” Accessory Port 8 Rotary Channel Selector Knob 8 Noise Canceling Microphone 8 On/Off/Volume Knob 8 One Programmable Top Button 8 Back-lit Alphanumeric Display 8 Dual Charge High Capacity Battery 8 Top Mounted Bi-Color LED Indicator 8 Weather-Sealed Universal Connector 8 3-Position Programmable Toggle Switch 8 15 Button Keypad (A7 model only) 8 2-Position Programmable Switch mum, all keystroke tones can be easily muted by the operator. Radio Lock (A7 model only) This feature provides a means for the user to prevent unauthorized use of the radio upon power up. All user accessible functions will be disabled until the correct password is entered by the user after the radio is turned on. The radio lock password can even be modi- fied by the user in the field. Full Band Operation The MT 2000 radio features Motorola’s broadest band range. With “Full Band VHF”, a single model can oper- ate from 136 to 174 MHz—and with only two models, you’ll cover the entire UHF band, as well. Enhanced Audio The MT 2000 radio is one of the loudest portables ever developed by Motorola. Improved voice intelligibility at high volumes means less distortion and fewer miscom- munications. The radio’s standard noise canceling microphone minimizes background noise. Universal Connector A weather-sealed connector allows all reprogramming, tuning and testing to be performed without opening the radio. The connector is multi-functional and allows quick connect and release of accessories. Radio-to-Radio Cloning Using a simple cloning cable you can duplicate one radio’s operating parameters into another MT 2000 portable of the same model configuration and sub-band. Channel Scan Monitoring Allows the radio to scan up to 16 lists of channels. Channel Scan is capable of scanning for PL, DPL, Carrier Squelch, and Stat-Alert Selective Call, and can be configured for Non-Priority or Single Priority opera- tion. The MT 2000 radio also includes Talk-back scan and nuisance channel delete capability where the user can temporarily delete an unwanted active channel from the scan list by simply pressing a button. Adjustable Power Levels (UHF and VHF only) The MT 2000 portable can be programmed to adjust RF power levels automatically on a mode slaved basis, Easy access controls, A7 Model Programmable buttons and switches

capability of having up to two power levels in one radio, and of operating in high or low power on a per channel basis. The default power levels in VHF are 5 Watts (high) and 1 Watt (low) and in UHF are 4 Watts (high) and 1 Watt (low). The two power levels can be changed in the field by a service technician if other than the default settings are required. Smart PTT-Busy Channel Lockout Prevent users from “talking over” each other by restricting the user from transmitting if activity is detected on the channel. The radio will generate a continuous tone upon PTT depress if a transmission is not being allowed. Inhibit Transmit can be activated for any busy channel or only on a busy channel with a different squelch code. A quick-key override option can work in conjunction with Smart PTT to allow the user to override the transmit inhibit state for times when transmission is critical. Repeater and Talkaround Operation Allows the user to choose operation through a repeater (where the transmit frequen- cy is not equal to the receive frequency), or operation that bypasses a repeater and talks directly to another unit (Talkaround of Direct Operation). When the feature is mode slaved, the channel is programmed to operate either in the direct or repeat mode. Alternatively, the repeater/talkaround function can be programmed to the tog- gle switches where the user can select from the two operating choices in the field. Coded Squelch Operation Allows the user to operate a radio in Carrier Squelch, PL or DPL mode. When in the Carrier Squelch mode, the user will hear all traffic on the selected channel, but when operating PL or DPL modes, the user will hear only those messages that are intend- ed for his group. Tone PL and Digital PL can be mixed on a per channel basis. Low Battery Alert An annunciator will appear in the display if the battery falls below a specified voltage level while in the transmit mode. The radio can also be programmed to sound an alert tone if the low battery condition is detected during transmission or periodically while in the stand-by mode. Time-Out Timer Limits the amount of time the user can continuously transmit on a channel. If the PTT is held down longer than the preprogrammed limit, the radio automatically emits a warning tone, then stops transmitting, and will generate a talk prohibit tone until the PTT is released. MDC-1200 STAT-ALERT Signalling Unit ID and Emergency—Each MT 2000 radio can be programmed to send a unique digital identification code at the beginning of each transmission, at the end, or both. This ID may be combined with an emergency alarm that is activated by an emer- gency button on that top of the radio. The dispatcher can quickly identify the radio user, and also receive nearly instant clear indication of critical situations. Call Alert and Selective Call Decode Provides an efficient way for the dispatcher to initiate a page or a voice page message to an individual or a group. It is a convenient way to eliminate the need for users to listen to traffic that does not concern them. When the user receives a Call Alert, the radio will con- tinuously generate a series of four tones and flash the green LED until the user takes action. When the user receives a Selective Call, the radio will generate alert tones, flash the green LED, and will unmute so an incoming message can be heard. Radio Check Allows the dispatcher to determine if the radio unit is on the air and within communications range without disturbing the radio operator. Tilt Switch When equipped with the optional Tilt Switch accesso- ry, the MT 2000 radio will send an emergency trans- mission after a preprogrammed delay time if the radio is tilted greater than 60°. Touch-Code Signalling Touch-Code signalling allows encoding of Dual Tone Multi-Frequency tones via a keypad. This lets a user access the land-line phone network or gives them the capability to operate remote control devices. There are several operational configurations that may be pro- grammed by the user, including manual or automatic phone line access, and live or buffered dialing. Intrinsically Safe The MT 2000 portable, when ordered with the Intrinsically Safe option and used with Motorola’s FM batteries, is approved for operation in hazardous atmospheric environments by the U.S. Factory Mutual agency. ALT The MT 2000 portable will keep working under harsh conditions. Like all Motorola products, the radio is subjected during the design stages to our unique Accelerated Lift Test (ALT) which simulates five years of intensive field stress. Warranty All MT 2000 radios are backed by Motorola’s One Year Parts and Labor Warranty for protection against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service.
