Introduction
Basic Radio Features
Welcome to the Motorola MTS 2000 FLASHportTM portable radio. MTS
2000 radios are sophisticated, state-of-the-art communication units, with 16- and
160-mode models available in VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, or 900 MHz frequency
ranges. Pioneering the latest technology in radio electronics, Motorola MTS 2000
radios provide features that were once only available in more expensive radios.
Intelligent and flexible software increases the radio’s capability, decreases the
radio's physical size, and permits many of the radio's features to be customized
just for you.
FLASHport
Your MTS 2000 portable radio utilizes Motorola’s revolutionary FLASHport
technology. This allows your radio’s capabilities to be flexible, because FLASHport
makes it possible to add software that drives these capabilities both at the time of
purchase and later on. Previously, changing a radio’s features and capabilities
meant significant modifications, or buying a new radio. But now, similar to how a
computer can be loaded with different software, your radio’s features and
capabilities can be upgraded with software.
FLASHport allows you to add software to your radio as your needs change
and as technology advances, making your radio investment go further.
FLASHport is the future of radio communications, and it’s yet another
example of Motorola’s commitment to your satisfaction.

Antennas
Radio/Antenna Identification
An information label is attached to the back of your radio (chassis), just under
the battery contacts. A radio model number is identified on this label. A typical
model number might be H01SDC9AA1AN. The fourth position of the model number
(in this case “S”) identifies the operating frequency band of the radio. The Radio
Operating-Frequency Chart lists all fourth-position alpha characters and
corresponding frequency band.

Antennas are frequency sensitive and are color coded according to the
frequency range of the antenna. The color code indicator is the insulator in the
center of the base of the antenna. The following illustrations and chart will help
identify the antenna, antenna frequency range, and corresponding color code.
Refer to the Radio Operating-Frequency Chart and the Antenna Identification
Chart to ensure that the match between your radio and antenna is correct.

Getting Started (cont.)
Keypad
The 6-key (MTS 2000 II) or 15-key (MTS 2000 III)
keypad controls or inputs data to many of your MTS
2000 radio’s features. Both keypads’ top three keys
access many of these features. In addition, the 15-key
keypad’s upper 12 keys are arranged, and function,
like a standard telephone keypad. The bottom three
keys of both keypads are the left arrow key, HOME key,
and right arrow key.
Selecting a Feature
A unique feature of the MTS 2000 radio is its use
of the display to give you quick access to many of the
radio’s features without having to have a dedicated
mechanical key for each feature.
The names of the features (CALL, MUTE, etc.)
are shown on the display, three at a time, with key-like
outlines to make them look like keys.
Selection of features is controlled by the three
keys directly below the feature names: the left key
controls the left feature, the middle key controls the
middle feature, and the right key controls the right
feature.
Left and Right Arrow Keys
The left (
) and right (
) arrow keys are used to scroll the display forward or
backward through the radio’s features and lists. There is no end point to the list, so
if you continue to scroll in one direction, the display will “wrap around” back to the
beginning of the list. If you hold either key down, the display will scroll at a faster rate
until the key is released.
The left arrow key is also used for editing when you are entering information
manually from the keypad. Pressing the left arrow key will backspace, and erase the
display, one character at a time. If you have erased all the digits, an additional press
of the left arrow key will return the display to the preprogrammed list.
HOME Key
The HOME key will always return you to the home (default) display. In most
cases, this is the current zone/mode. In addition, if you are using a feature that
requires it, pressing the HOME key will also cause information to be saved in
memory before going to the home display. Some radio features will automatically go
to the home display when they are completed, without having to press the HOME
key, thus reducing the number of keypresses required.

Display
The MTS 2000 radio has a 14-character, one-line liquid-crystal display (LCD),
which displays either alphanumeric messages or feature information. Above the
character displays are eight status annunciators that indicate some of the radio’s
operating conditions
Display Light
If poor light conditions make the display difficult to read, turn on the radio’s
display backlight by pressing the light button (normally side button 1). This light will
remain on for a preprogrammed time period before it turns off automatically, or
you can turn it off immediately by pressing the light button again (the light can be
turned off only if the radio is not in a feature menu). If, while the light is on, any
key or button is pressed (except for side button 3 and the PTT switch), any knob
is turned, or any toggle switch is moved, the light will remain on for an additional
time period.
Status Annunciators
The status annunciators indicate the status of certain radio functions:
.
Battery Status (
) – Flashes when the battery is low.
.
Carrier Squelch ( ) – Indicates when the active conventional mode is being
monitored in the carrier squelch mode; ON = BEING MONITORED/
OFF = NOT BEING MONITORED.
.
SECURENET Operation (
) – For SECURENET-equipped radios, appears
either when the transmit mode you have selected has been preprogrammed
for SECURENET operation, or when the mode you have selected has been
preprogrammed for selectable operation and the two-position concentric
switch is in the SECURENET (
) position; ON = SECURENET
TRANSMISSION/OFF = CLEAR TRANSMISSION.
.
Call Received (
) – Flashes when a call or page is received.
.
Scan (
) – Indicates when the radio is scanning; ON = SCANNING/OFF =
NOT SCANNING.
.
Priority Scan (
) – The presence of a dot along with the scan annunciator
indicates the receiving of a priority mode; FLASHING DOT = PRIORITY
1/SOLID DOT = PRIORITY 2.
.
Programming Mode (
) – Indicates when the radio is in the programming
mode; ON = IN PROGRAMMING MODE/OFF = NOT IN PROGRAMMING
MODE.
.
Direct (
) – Indicates whether you are talking directly to another radio
(talkaround), or through a repeater; ON = DIRECT/OFF = REPEATER.

Alert Tone Indications
The MTS 2000 radio generates a number of audible tones to indicate radio
operating conditions:
.
Low Battery – A low-battery condition is indicated by a high-pitched, cricket-like
“chirp-chirp” when the PTT switch is released following a transmission.
.
Successful Power-Up – A short, medium-pitched tone when the radio is first
turned on indicates that the radio has passed its power-up self test and is
ready for use.
.
Unsuccessful Power-Up – A short, low-pitched tone when the radio is first
turned on indicates that the radio has failed its power-up self test and is not
ready for use. Contact your service representative for service.
.
Transmit on Receive-Only Mode – If you press the PTT switch while tuned to a
“receive-only” mode, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone,
indicating that no transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue
until the PTT switch is released.
.
Transmit Inhibit on Busy Mode – If you press the PTT switch while the mode is
busy, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched alert tone, indicating that no
transmission is possible on this mode. This tone will continue until the PTT
switch is released.
.
Invalid Mode – A continuous, low-pitched tone is heard when an invalid or
unprogrammed operation is attempted on the radio.
.
Valid (Good) Key Press – A short, medium-pitched tone when a keypad key is
pressed indicates that the key press was accepted.
.
Invalid (Bad) Key Press – A short, low-pitched tone when a keypad key is
pressed indicates that the key press was rejected.
.
Emergency Alarm Entry – A short, medium-pitched tone when the emergency
button is pressed indicates that the radio has entered the emergency mode.
.
Emergency Alarm/Call Exit – A continuous, medium-pitched tone when the
radio is in the emergency mode indicates that the radio has exited the
emergency mode.
.
Failsoft (Trunked Systems Only) – A faint “beeping” tone every ten seconds
indicates that the radio is operating in the failsoft mode.
.
Time-Out Timer Warning – Your radio’s time-out timer limits the length of your
transmission time. When you are pressing the PTT switch (transmitting), a
short, low-pitched warning tone will sound four seconds before the allotted
time will expire.
.
Time-Out Timer Timed-Out – If you hold down the PTT switch longer than the
time-out timer’s allotted time, a continuous, low-pitched tone will sound,
indicating that your transmission has been cut off. This tone will continue until
the PTT switch is released.
.
Phone Busy – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone when telephone interconnect is
accessed indicates that all available modes are busy and the radio is in queue
for the next available phone line.
Getting Started (cont.)
Alert Tone Indications (cont.)
.
Call Alert. (Page) Received – A group of four medium-pitched tones every five
seconds indicates that your radio has received a Call Alert page.
.
Call Alert. (Page) Sent – A single medium-pitched tone (central
acknowledge), followed by a group of four medium-pitched tones indicates that
a Call Alert page sent by your radio has been received by the target radio.
.
Private Conversation. Call Received – A group of two medium-pitched tones
(800MHz radios only) indicates that your radio has received a Private
Conversation call. For all other frequency radios and for enhanced Private
Conversation, this sequence will be repeated every five seconds for
approximately 20 seconds
.
Trunked System Busy (Trunked Systems Only) – A “bah-bah-bah-bah” tone
when a trunked system is accessed indicates that all available modes are busy
and the radio is in queue for the next available mode.
.
Call Back (Trunked Systems Only} – A group of three medium-pitched tones
(di-di-dit) indicates that a talkgroup is now available for your previously
requested transmission.
.
Keyfail (SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only) – Indicates when there is a
problem with transmitting in encrypted (SECURENET) operation, due to loss
of the encryption key. If programmed and the key is lost or erased, a group of
six beeps sounds immediately. In addition, if the two-position concentric
switch is in the SECURENET (
) position: (a) if programmed, and the PTT
switch is not being pressed, the radio will sound six beeps every 5 to 10
seconds, or (b) if the PTT switch is being pressed, the radio will sound
continuous beeps until the PTT switch is released, after which (if
programmed) it will sound six beeps every 5 to 10 seconds. This will continue
until the two-position concentric switch is moved to the clear (
) position, a
clear-only mode is selected, or the key is reloaded.
.
Consecutive medium-pitched tones during a secure transmission
indicate that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET)
operation due to loss of the encryption key.
.
Six medium-pitched tones every 5 to 10 seconds while the radio is
not transmitting also serve as a reminder that there is a problem
with encrypted (SECURENET) operation. The keyfail reminder will
sound when the radio is in clear-only operation, which can be
selected either by switching to a preprogrammed clear-only mode
or by moving the two-position concentric switch to the clear (
)
position on a secure-/clear-selectable mode.
.
Six medium-pitched tones when the radio is first turned on also
indicate that there is a problem with encrypted (SECURENET)
operation.
.
Keyfail tones will not sound once the key has been reloaded.
.
Clear Operation (SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only) – If the radio is so
programmed, one beep immediately after the PTT switch is pressed will
indicate that your transmission is clear (non-encrypted).

or Call Alert page
Time-Out Timer
The time-out timer feature limits the amount of time that you can continuously
transmit on a mode. If you hold down the PTT switch longer than the allotted time:
.
A pre-alert warning tone will be generated four seconds before
termination of your transmission to warn you that your conversation is
about to be cut off.
.
Four seconds later your transmission is terminated and an alert tone is
emitted until the PTT is released.
Conventional or Trunked Radio Operation
Your MTS 2000 radio is capable of both conventional and trunked operation:
.
Conventional Operation – During conventional operation, your MTS 2000
radio performs like a conventional two-way radio. That is, you must monitor the
selected mode before transmitting (by checking the LED for mode busy [blinks
red when busy] and listening for the “mode busy” tone, or pressing the monitor
button) to ensure that you are observing standard two-way radio transmission
protocol by not “talking over” someone who is already transmitting.
.
Trunked Operation – During trunked operation, your MTS 2000 radio offers a
number of advantages, including fast system access, enhanced privacy, and
ease of operation. In a trunked system, there is no need for you to monitor a
mode before transmitting.
Basic Radio Operation
Radio On/Off; Power-Up
1.
Turn the radio on by rotating the volume control
clockwise. The radio goes through a power-up self
check and, if it passes the check, the display
momentarily shows “SELF TEST.” A good-powerup,
high-pitched tone sounds to indicate that the
radio has passed the self check.
If the radio fails the self check, the display shows
“ERROR XX/XX” (where XX/XX is an
alphanumeric error code), accompanied by a badpower-
up, low-pitched tone. Turn the radio off,
check the battery, and turn the radio back on. If
the radio still does not pass the self check, a
problem exists in the radio. Contact your nearest
Motorola Service Shop.
Note: The power-up self check verifies that the
radio’s microprocessor-based systems are
working, but it does not check all of the rf
components, nor does it check the operation of
all customer-specific features. Motorola
recommends that the functionality of the radio be
periodically checked by an authorized Motorola
service shop.
2.
(SECURENET-equipped radios only) - If the
encryption key has failed, the display will
momentarily show “KEYFAIL,” accompanied by a
six-beep keyfail tone. For SECURENET operation to
function, reload the encryption key from a key
variable loader (KVL).
3.
Turn the radio off by rotating the volume control
fully counterclockwise until you hear a click.
Monitoring (Conventional Modes Only)
Turn the radio on, momentarily press the monitor
button (typically side button 3), and listen for activity.
To put the radio in permanent monitor operation
(Private-Line. (PL) defeat), press and hold the monitor
button for five seconds (programmable time). The
radio emits a short, high-pitched tone as it enters the
permanent monitor mode. To return the radio to its

4.
Do not interrupt another user. If the mode on
which you are transmitting is programmed to
receive PL ( or the proper code if SECURENET-
equipped), ensure that the mode is not in use by
momentarily depressing the monitor button to
listen for activity. If the mode-busy feature is
enabled, a blinking red LED on receive (PTT
released) will indicate that the mode is currently
busy and you should not transmit.
Note: The mode-busy feature is suggested for
SECURENET-equipped radios, since monitoring of
SECURENET activity with a different key will sound
like noise that is nearly indistinguishable from
channel noise.
5.
When the mode is clear, press and hold the PTT
switch on the side of the radio and speak slowly
and clearly into the microphone area. The red LED
will be lit continuously while the radio is
transmitting. When you have finished talking

for a call-back tone (sounds like “di-di-dit”). When
you hear the call-back tone you will have three
seconds to press the PTT switch, allowing you to
make your call without getting another busy
signal.
.
If a continuous talk-prohibit tone is heard when
the PTT switch is pressed, transmission is not
possible. The radio may be out of range; or
(SECURENET-equipped only) the two-position
concentric switch may be in the incorrect
position for that mode; for instance, the
particular mode might be slaved encrypted voice
and the switch set to the unencrypted voice
position.
.
Avoid blocking the noise-cancelling port during

Transmissions on modes (talkgroups) that are
programmed as neither secure-only nor clear-
only can be changed from clear to SECURENET
by turning the two-position concentric switch and
pressing the PTT switch. However, you cannot
change from SECURENET to clear during a
transmission; you must wait until the
transmission is ended before changing to clear
operation.
.
You will be able to change from clear operation
to SECURENET operation, but not from
SECURENET to clear during a call.
. If no secure voice channels are currently
available for a SECURENET transmission that you
wish to make, the display will show “NO
SECURE,” and you must switch to a clear mode
or wait until a secure voice channel is available.
General Radio Features Operation
Low-Battery Alert
The radio will emit an alert tone to indicate a low-
battery condition if the battery voltage falls below the
low-voltage level. The tone will be emitted when the PTT
is released in the transmit mode, and when the low-
battery condition is detected in the receive mode.
Coded Squelch Operation
Tone Private-Line. (PL), Digital Private-Line.
(DPL), and carrier squelch operation are all available in
the same radio, on a per-mode basis. When in carrier
squelch operation, all traffic on the mode is heard.
When in PL or DPL operation, your radio responds to
only those messages intended for you. When this
feature is mode-slaved, PL, DPL, or carrier squelch is
programmed to each mode, and you need not move any
switches for activation. Alternatively, this feature can be
programmed to the ABC switch: carrier squelch
operation in one switch position, and PL or DPL
operation in another switch position.
Whenever the radio is operating in carrier squelch,
the display will show the carrier-squelch annunciator.
SECURENET Operation
This information applies to both conventional and
trunked systems.
1.
A SECURENET module must be installed in the
radio.
2.
An encryption key must be loaded from a key-
variable loader (KVL), using the correct loader for
the radio’s encryption type, into the radio’s
memory. To load the key, connect the keyloader
cable to the universal connector on the side of the
radio; refer to the KVL’s instruction manual for
loading procedure. While the keyloader is
attached, the display shows “KEYLOADING.” When
the key has been loaded successfully, the radio will
sound one long beep.
Notes:
.
Normal radio transmit and receive will be
disabled while the cable is connected to the
radio.
.
The radio will abort a secure transmission
when there is not a valid encryption key. When
this happens, the display shows “KEYFAIL,”
and a continuous keyfail tone (consecutive
medium-pitched beeps) sounds until the PTT
switch is released.
22 General Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
3.
To erase a key, hold down the green side button 1
and the orange top button at the same time. When
key erase is complete, the display will show
“ERASED.”
Note: Do not press the orange top button first.
This button may have been programmed for
emergency operation.
If the battery is removed for more than
approximately 30 seconds from a radio that is
turned off, the key may be lost. The key may also
be lost from a radio that is turned on if the battery
is removed for any length of time, or if the battery’s
charge is allowed to drop to too low a level. If the
key is lost, it will have to be reloaded using the
KVL. Battery removal is not a guaranteed method
of key erasure.
4.
On SECURENET-equipped radios, the two-position
concentric switch selects whether the radio will be
transmitting clear or secure audio, if a mode is
programmed for neither secure- nor clear-only
operation. The two-position concentric switch will
set the transmit operation of the radio before PTT.
The switch cannot change the transmit operation
while the PTT is pressed.
If a mode is programmed for SECURENET-only
operation, and the two-position concentric switch is
in the clear (
) position, when the PTT switch is
pressed, the display will show “SECURE ONLY,” an
invalid-mode tone will sound, and the radio will not
transmit until the two-position concentric switch is
set to the SECURENET (
) position.
If a mode is programmed for clear-only operation,
and the two-position concentric switch is in the
SECURENET (
) position, when the PTT switch is
pressed, the display will show “CLEAR ONLY,” an
invalid-mode tone will sound, and the radio will not
transmit until the two-position concentric switch is
set to the clear (
) position.
General Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
Variable RF Power Level (VHF and UHF Radios Only)
VHF and UHF radios can have more than one power level. High power can be
programmed on those modes where the frequency is licensed for high power, and
low power can be programmed on all other modes. The high-/low-power feature
can also be programmed to the ABC switch, with one switch position being low-
power operation, and another switch position being high-power operation.
Emergency Operation
Pressing the orange top emergency button (for radios with emergency
operation) will send out an emergency signal, which takes precedence over any
other signalling activity in progress. This emergency signal can take two forms:
emergency alarm and emergency call. The MTS 2000 radio can have either or
both signal types enabled.
.
The emergency alarm feature sends a data transmission on the trunked
control mode to alert the dispatcher to an emergency condition and identify
the unit sending the emergency signal.
.
The emergency call (radios with trunked emergency operation only) is a type
of dispatch operation which gives your radio priority access to modes.
Emergency call is programmable via the radio service software (RSS) for
either tactical or non-tactical operation. Tactical emergency operation places
the call to the currently selected mode; non-tactical operation places the call
to a predetermined emergency mode.
.
Clear or SECURENET emergency call operation will be determined by the
preprogramming of the selected mode (talkgroup) or default emergency
mode, if set up. Otherwise, transmit operation will be controlled by the
position of the two-position concentric switch. You will not be able to change
from SECURENET operation to clear operation, or from clear operation to
SECURENET operation, during a call.
“Emergency” signals a critical situation. It should never be used for any
other reason.

Emergency Operation (cont.)
Sending an Emergency Alarm
1.
Press and hold the emergency button (the length of
button press is RSS programmable) until the LED
lights solid red and the display alternates between
showing “EMERGENCY” and the current zone and
mode. A short, medium-pitched emergency tone
sounds.
2.
When the trunked emergency alarm is
acknowledged by the central controller, the radio
sounds four beeps and the alarm ends. The radio
returns to normal operation or, if enabled in your
radio (trunked emergency call systems only), enters
at step 3 of “Sending an Emergency Call.” While in
emergency call operation, subsequent presses of
the emergency button will reinitiate the emergency
silence sequence.
Unmute Option -With this option enabled, the
radio will unmute to all voice activity on the
emergency channel. If disabled, the radio will
operate as normal, muting all voice activity on the
emergency channel until the emergency alarm is
cancelled. This option is RSS programmable.
Sending a Silent Emergency Alarm
In radios with the silent emergency alarm option
enabled, pressing the emergency button sends an
emergency signal to the dispatcher. During the
emergency alarm procedure: the LED will not light,
tones will not be heard, and the display will not change.
The audio will be muted (turned off), and will
remain so until you exit the emergency state.
Cancelling an Emergency Alarm
Press the emergency button for more than 1 1/2
seconds (programmable); a medium-pitched emergency-
exit tone sounds until the button is released and the
radio returns to normal operation.
The alarm will also be cancelled (without
emergency-exit tone) by:
.
pressing the PTT switch (see the note below),
.
turning the radio off, or
.
receiving an acknowledge from the dispatcher.
Note: Pressing the PTT switch while the radio is in
emergency alarm operation will place the radio in
emergency call operation if emergency call is
enabled. (see step 3 of “Sending an Emergency
Call”).
General Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
Emergency Operation (cont.)
Sending an Emergency Call (Radios With Trunked
Emergency Call Operation Only)
1.
Press the emergency button. The LED lights solid
red, the display alternates between showing
“EMERGENCY” and the current trunked zone and
mode, and a short, medium-pitched emergency
tone sounds.
2.
Press the PTT switch to request a priority mode
assignment in the trunked system.
3.
While the radio is in emergency call operation it
operates in the usual dispatch manner.
Note:
.
The trunked mode you will talk to in an
emergency is controlled by whether your radio
is programmed for tactical or non-tactical
operation. If tactical, you will be talking to the
mode you selected before entering emergency
call; if non-tactical, you will talk to a
preprogrammed emergency mode.
.
If you change trunked modes while in
emergency call operation, the emergency call
will be moved to, and continued on, the new
mode.
4.
It is important that you exit the emergency call
mode when you have finished your emergency call.
To do this, press the emergency button for more
than 1 1/2 seconds (programmable). You will hear
a medium-pitched emergency-exit tone until the
emergency button is released, and the radio will
return to normal operation.
Emergency with Voice to Follow
With this feature (aka "Hot Microphone"), the radio
is placed in the transmit mode for a preprogrammed
period of time (programmable by RSS) after the
emergency alarm is activated. During this time period,
the "hands-free" mode is activated, and voice
transmisions can be made without pressing the PTT.
After the transmit time has expired, the unit will dekey
and go into a receive mode as it normally does after
dekeying. At this point, normal operation resumes; the
user will be required to press PTT for any further
transmissions on that emergency channel.
26 General Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
Failsoft Operation (Trunked Systems Only)
The “failsoft” system ensures that you will continue
to have radio communications capability in the event of
trunked system failure. During trunked operation, the
radio will automatically go into failsoft operation if the
central trunking controller fails for any reason. While in
failsoft, your radio will transmit and receive on a
predetermined frequency on a conventional, as opposed
to trunked, mode. When the trunked system returns to
normal operation, the radio will automatically leave the
failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.
Clear or SECURENET operation will be determined
by the preprogramming of the selected mode
(talkgroup), if so programmed. Otherwise, transmit
operation will be controlled by the position of the two-
position concentric switch. You will be able to change
from SECURENET operation to clear operation, or from
clear to SECURENET, during a call.
When the radio is in failsoft operation, you will hear
a faint “beeping” sound every ten seconds, and the
radio will become unsquelched. At the same time, the
display will alternate between showing “FAILSOFT” and
the current active trunked zone.
General Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
Transmitter Disable Operation (Non-SECURENET-Equipped Radios Only)
If your radio is NOT SECURENET-equipped, the Transmitter Disable feature,
when enabled in your radio (via radio service software [RSS] programming, allows
you to put the radio in a condition where it will not transmit. This will prevent the
radio from accidentally transmitting in a hazardous environment. All
transmissions, including automatic data transmissions, will be inhibited.
To disable the radio transmitter, put the two-position concentric switch in
the“
” position. When your radio's transmitter has been disabled, pressing the
PTT switch will cause a low-pitched alert tone to sound, indicating that a
transmission is not taking place.
Note: While the transmission is disabled, if you attempt to transmit, the
display will react as in normal operation. However, the red LED transmit indicator
will not turn on.
To enable the transmitter for normal operation, put the two-position
concentric switch in the “
” position.
Native Language Displays
This feature allows you to choose any one of six languages for your radio
displays:
1. English

General Radio Features Operation
(cont.)
Scan Operation
The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on
different conventional or trunked modes by scanning a
“scan list” of modes. Each scan list can contain as many
as 16 different modes; each radio can have up to 20
different scan lists. The modes to be scanned in a scan
list can be programmed with the radio service software
(RSS).
Three types of scan lists are available (Refer to the
RSS manual for additional information):
.
Trunking Priority Monitor—Comprises modes that
are all from the same trunked system.
.
Conventional—Comprises conventional-only modes.
.
Talkgroup Scan—Comprises conventional modes
and trunked modes from more than one trunking
system. Priority operation is not available in this
type of list.
The radio supports both priority and non-priority
scanning. With priority scanning enabled, a scan list
can have one mode assigned as the first priority mode,
and a second as the second priority mode.
All MTS 2000 radios support automatic scanning
(autoscan), which is programmed into the radio through
the RSS. With this feature, the radio begins scanning
whenever you select a mode to which a scan list is
assigned (strapped). The radio will continue
autoscanning until you select a mode that does not have
autoscan enabled.
In radios that are not SECURENET-equipped, scan
can can be selected by the scan select switch (twoposition
concentric switch) or the menu.
Turning Scan On/Off Using the Scan Select Switch
1.
To turn scanning on, place the scan select switch
(programmable via the RSS) in the “scan on”
position.
2.
The scan status annunciator appears on the
display, indicating that scan is active, and the radio
begins scanning. The scan annunciator will remain
on until scan is turned off.
3.
To turn scanning off, place the scan select switch
in the “scan off” position.
4.
The scan status annunciator turns off, indicating
that scan is off, and the radio stops scanning.

Conventional Telephone Operation
The conventional telephone feature allows you to
use your conventional radio similar to a standard
telephone. To make a call through the telephone
system, your radio must send access and hangup
codes to the system. Unless otherwise indicated, the
conventional telephone sections in this manual assume
that the access and hangup codes have been
programmed into the radio by the RSS. These codes will
then be automatically transmitted.
When you are dialing from the keypad (MTS 2000
III model only), your radio may be programmed with
either buffered dial (you enter all digits and press the
PTT before the digits are sent out) or live dial (each digit
is sent out as it is pressed).
