sends ringing indications to the headset when there is an
incoming call. Ringtones will be heard on the headset speaker.
• The incoming call can be accepted by pressing the multi-function
button on the headset.
• This establishes a link with the headset and allows the headset
speaker/mic to be used as the active audio path for
communications.
• Upon disconnect of the Bluetooth headset, the radio reverts back
to its prior audio routing.
• If the headset is subsequently paired with the radio again, the
headset accepts the call automatically without requiring the user
to press the multi-function button. In this scenario, the ringtone
may not be heard by the user.

Integrated 5 Tone – A Brief History
•
Select 5 (also known as 5 Tone) is a tone signaling protocol which utilizes a brief burst of
sequential audible tones.
•
Subscribers configured to respond to the transmitted tone sequences will un-mute, while
others will remain muted.
•
Select 5 tones are encoded via telegrams.
• A Select 5 telegram is composed of 1 to 3 Select 5 sequences, and each sequence is
composed of 1 to 12 Select 5 tones.
• A Select 5 tone is a single frequency audible (300-3000 Hz) tone
• The tones frequency and duration are specified by the sequences’ associated
signaling standard.
•
A Select 5 signaling standard defines 16 tones (0-9 and A-F), as well as 2 single tones (T1
and T2). The frequency and duration of the single tones are specified in the CPS.
• The CPS allows one to specify variable digits within tone sequence definition and these
digits will be replaced with 0-9, A-F before use. The supported digits are:
• A1-A8, replaced with the target subscriber’s address
• U1-U8, replaced with the initiating subscriber’s address
• S1-S3, replaced with the initiating subscriber’s status

MOTOTRBO Digital Features
Multiple Groups
• The radio unmutes only when a relevant group is transmitting on the channel.
• The relevant groups for a given channel (group members) are defined by the
Receive (Rx) Group List associated with that channel.
• One Receive (Rx) Group List can contain a maximum of 16 group members and a
maximum of 50 Receive (Rx) Group Lists can be defined.
• For repeater channels, the group call hangtime is defined by a repeater timer and
for direct radio channels, the (talkaround) group call hangtime is defined by a radio
timer.
• The radio is allowed to talkback to the group for the duration specified by the group
call hangtime.

Channel Scan
• If Auto Scan is enabled for a channel, a radio starts scanning as soon as that channel is
selected by the user, otherwise if Auto Scan is disabled, scan can be started / stopped via a
programmable button.
• While scanning, a radio is looking for “Activity of Interest” by continually sampling the Scan
Members (channels) contained in the Scan List associated with the selected channel.
• One Scan List can contain a maximum of 16 “Scan Members” and a maximum of 250 Scan
Lists can be defined.
• While sampling a given channel, “Activity of Interest” consists of incoming (voice or signaling)
transmissions addressed to the radio using:
• The radio’s individual address, or
• One of the group address contained in the Rx Group List associated with the channel
being sampled, or
• The “All Call” address
• A mixture of digital and analogue conventional channels may be included in a Scan List.

Channel Scan (Cont.)
•
While sampling a given channel, if “Activity of Interest” is found the radio stops scanning and switches to
that channel. The radio then remains on the channel until all “Activity of Interest” has ceased for a period of
time defined by the “Call Hang Timer” (if applicable) plus the radio “Scan Hang Timer”. The operation of the
“Call Hang Timer” and “Scan Hang Timer” (for Releases 1.7 onwards) is summarised below.
•
For digital and analogue repeater channels:
On termination of a radio transmission, the repeater starts its Call Hang Timer running.
On expiry of the Repeater Call Hang Timer, receiving radios start their Scan Hang Timers running.
•
For digital direct radio channels:
On termination of a radio transmission, receiving radios start their (Talkaround) Call Hang Timers
running.
On expiry of a (Talkaround) Call Hang Timer, a receiving radio starts its Scan Hang Timer running.
•
For analogue direct radio channels:
Call Hang Timers generally do not apply here, so on termination of a radio transmission, receiving
radios start their Scan Hang Timers running immediately.
For certain 5-Tone and MDC calls there is an Auto Rest Timer which acts like a (Talkaround) Call
Hang Timer. For such calls, a receiving radio starts its Auto Reset Timer running on termination
of a radio transmission, then starts its Scan Hang Timer running on expiry of its Auto Rest Timer.
•
Once the “Scan Hang Timer” expires then the radio resumes scanning again.

Channel Scan limitations
– Since Channel Scan requires the radio to switch between channels, there is a
possibility that the radio will miss a transmission.
– The larger the Channel Scan list, the greater the possibility that a transmission
will be missed.
– The Channel Scan list should be configured to be as short as possible.
– A scanning radio will eventually detect group and “All Call” transmissions via
“late entry”, however most individually addressed transmissions (e.g. Private
Call) will need to be prefixed with “Transmit (Tx) Preamble” if they are to be
detected by a scanning radio.
– Channel Scan (even with preamble) will NOT work for emergency calls or data.
Both these types of call can only be received on the selected channel
irrespective of whether Channel Scan is enabled or disabled.

MOTOTRBO Digital Features
Channel Scan – Tx Designated Channel and Talkback
• If the user presses the PTT while the radio is scanning, the radio will (depending on its
configuration) transmit on one of the following channels:
- The Selected channel - this is the typical configuration.
- A specified conventional channel.
- The Last Active channel* (i.e. the most recent channel on which the radio stopped
scanning as a result of finding “Activity of Interest”).
• If the user presses the PTT after the radio has stopped scanning as a result of finding
“Activity of Interest”, the radio will (depending on its configuration) transmit on one of the
following channels:
- The Active Channel (i.e. the current channel on which the radio stopped scanning as a
result of finding “Activity of Interest”) – this is the typical configuration.
- The selected channel.
- A specified conventional channel.
* The radio only remembers the Last Active channel and NOT the Last Active group, therefore
this configuration results in a transmission to the TX Contact Name associated with the Last
Active channel (which is not necessarily the Last Active group). To avoid confusion, it is
recommended that this configuration is only used if there is a single group in the RX Group
List for each channel and this single group corresponds to the channel’s TX Contact Name.

Channel Scan – Priority Levels
• Priority levels can be configured for members of a Scan List. Three levels
of priority are:
- Priority-1
- Priority-2
- Non-Priority
• Priority levels are configurable via CPS.
• Priority levels affect the order of scanning. The radio may re-order NonPriority scan members in order to optimize the scan efficiency.

Channel Scan – Priority Levels (Cont.)
• If the following type of “Activity of Interest” is found while the radio is
scanning:
- Data addressed to the scanning radio (note: data can only be received
on the selected channel)
- An individual call (Private Call)
- Priority-1 scan member
then the radio stops scanning and switches to that channel for the duration
of the call.
• If however the “Activity of Interest” is a voice group call on a Priority-2 or a
Non-Priority scan member, the radio continues to periodically scan any
higher priority scan members defined.
- If “Activity of Interest” is subsequently detected on a higher priority
channel, then the radio switches to the higher priority channel
immediately without waiting for the current call to end.

Channel Scan – Channel Marking
• Although relatively short, its does take time to determine if activity is of interest on a
higher priority scan member. During this time, there is an audio hole on the current
scan member.
• Channel marking offers a way to mitigate the duration of the audio hole.
• The radio assumes that if the activity on the higher priority scan member has
already been identified as not of interest, then there is no need to fully review it at
every scan interval.
- For a partial review the radio only verifies that the activity on the higher priority scan
member is of the same type as the activity which was previously identified as not of
interest, If this is the case then the radio assumes the current activity on the higher
priority scan member is the same activity which was previously identified as not of
interest. By verifying just the type of activity, the radio is able to get back to the current
call much faster. This assumption is made for a pre-determined number of times, after
which the activity on the higher priority scan member is fully reviewed again.
• The feature greatly increases audio quality while a radio is in priority sampling
mode.

Channel Scan – Scan members with similar receive parameters
• A scan list with members that share the same receive parameters but different
transmit parameters may result in misdirected reply transmissions.
• When scanning, a radio only qualifies the receive parameters before landing on a
particular channel.
• Let’s review the following example to better understand the scenario:
- A scan list has two scan members: Channel 1 (Rx: F1, Tx: F2) and Channel 2
(Rx: F1, Tx: F3), where, both channels are Analog CSQ.
- A scanning radio will qualify the receive parameters and land on either channel
making an assumption about the transmit parameters.
- If the radio makes an incorrect assumption about the transmit parameters,
then this will result in misdirected transmissions.
