PLACING AND REMOVING THE RADIO TO AND FROM THE CRADLE Figure 3. Digital Car Kit Cradle PLACING THE RADIO IN THE CRADLE DO NOT fit the battery alone into the cradle as it will not be locked in place and may injure any vehicle occupants in the event of a collision. Remove locking key on the right side of the VA cradle before driving, to avoid injury in case of an accident.
Make sure that the lock of the Vehicle Adapter is in the open position before inserting or removing the radio, otherwise the radio cannot be pushed back to the correct position. The key should not be in the lock while inserting or removing the radio to prevent permanent damage to the cradle. 1. Slide the radio with the battery attached into the cradle so that the speaker grille faces outward and the controls are accessible. 2. Push the radio backwards until it locks into place.
The radio can now be turned ON by slowly turning the volume control knob clockwise until an acceptable volume level is reached. When the radio detects the Vehicle Adapter, a signal is audible and the radio display shows "Car Kit Connected". Once the radio is in the cradle and is turned ON and has detected the Vehicle Adapter, it is automatically in the Hands-free mode and ready for use. WHEN MOUNTED IN THE VEHICLE ADAPTER THE FOLLOWING OCCURS: 1.
REMOVING THE RADIO FROM THE CRADLE Make sure that the lock of the Vehicle Adapter is in the open position before removing the radio. The key should not be in the lock while removing the radio to prevent permanent damage to the cradle. Do not pull the radio out of the Cradle by pulling on the antenna. This may damage the antenna or cause permanent damage to the radio. Press down on the cradle release button on the left side of the cradle (See Figure 5) and lift the radio upwards from the cradle.
DIGITAL CAR KIT OPERATION When mounted in the Vehicle Adapter the radio may be operated in the normal way using the external microphone and external PTT switch. The radio internal audio is automatically disconnected and the received audio routed via the Vehicle Adapter audio amplifier to the external speaker or handset. The loudspeaker volume is controlled by the radio volume control. For all other operating procedures for your radio refer to your Radio User Manual. MAKING A TELEPHONE CALL 1.
RECEIVING A CALL When a private phone call is received, you will hear the ring tones via the remote speaker. To answer the call press and release the remote PTT button or Send key on the radio keypad and speak into the remote directional microphone. When a dispatch call is received, you will hear the callers voice from the remote speaker. To answer the call, press the remote PTT button and speak into the remote directional microphone.
AUXILIARY ALERT If this feature is connected at installation and enabled by your service provider, it allows the user to be alerted to an incoming private call by flashing the vehicle's headlights or sounding the horn. To activate the Auxiliary Alert, access the radio's Car Kit Menu. Press the ‘Menu’ Button then select Battery/Accessory’ (9), ‘Car Kit’ (4) and ‘Aux Alert’ (2).

Table 2: Troubleshooting Procedures No. 8 9 Malfunction Corrective Action Charging Indication 1. Flashing RED. Verify that the battery is one of the Motorola approved rechargeable NiMH or LiIon batteries PMNN 4047/4048/4049 2. Verify that the battery contacts are clean and free from foreign material - remove the radio from the Vehicle Adapter and use a pencil eraser to clean the four metal battery contacts on the bottom of the unit. 3. If the RED flashing condition persists, change the battery.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT fit the battery alone into the cradle as it will not be locked in place and may injure any vehicle occupants in the event of a collision. 1.To reduce risk of injury, use the Digital Car Kit only with radios fitted with the authorized rechargeable Motorola batteries. Other batteries may explode, causing personal injury and damage. 2. Do not place your Digital Car Kit and/or portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
OPERATIONAL CAUTIONS 1. Most modern electronic equipment, typically equipment in ambulances and navigation equipment are shielded from RF energy. RF energy from your radio may however interfere with some equipment. Consult your physician, or the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids etc.) to determine if they are shielded from external RF energy. 2. Turn your radio OFF in any health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
COMPLIANCE WITH RF ENERGY EXPOSURE STANDARDS Your Motorola radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy including: • Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.
OPERATIONAL INSTRUCTIONS Transmit and Receive • To transmit (talk), push the remote Push-To-Talk (PTT) button; to receive, release the remote PTT button. • Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the minimum lateral distance away , as shown in Table 3, from a properly installed, externally-mounted antenna.
