2.12 DISPLAY
The transceiver has a two line, 48 character LED display which gives information about the selected band. On
the top line is shown the zone number, channel name and rotary knob function. The bottom line displays the
soft key menu, the band selected, and the ESW/TSW condition. Also displayed are letters and symbols
indicating scan, direct/repeater talk around, monitor, secure, priority and call. In addition to the character
display, there are two LED indicators on the left. The top LED indicates a signal is being received on the
selected band while the bottom LED indicates that any one or more of the installed bands are transmitting.
2.13 GENERAL OPERATION
Switch on the transceiver as described in 2.3. Select the desired band by pressing the appropriate knob. Select
the same band on the audio panel. Press the knob again so that CHAN shows up on the top right of the
display. Rotate the knob until the desired channel or talk group is selected. Press the knob until VOL is again
shown on the display. You can adjust the volume by waiting until a signal is received or by pressing F1 (factory
programmed for monitor function) and adjusting the rotary knob. The radio is ready to use. Remember that the
band selected by pressing the rotary knobs is what is displayed on the screen but the band selected by the
audio panel is band that you are actually transmitting and receiving on. If another band is displayed, the rotary
knob for the band you are using is still operating the volume level. To use the DTMF key pad while
transmitting, the band you are using must be displayed on the screen.
2.14 CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE (CPS™)
To make any changes to the programming in the radio, CPS™ software must be used. There is no provision in
the radio to allow the user to change frequencies, zones, talk groups, etc. CPS™ software can be purchased
from Motorola Customer Service (see following page). A Motorola Radio Interface Box (RIB) is required to
connect the computer to the TDFM-600/6000. Each band in the TDFM-600/6000 is considered a type I (XTS-
3000) or a type II (XTS-5000) portable by the CPS™ software. To program a band in the transceiver, it must be
selected by pressing the appropriate knob before running the CPS™. Follow the instructions supplied with the
CPS™ and RIB. The
radio cable supplied
with the RIB will
not connect to the
TDFM-600/6000,
therefore you will
need to fabricate or
purchase the type I
programming cable,
P/N 013524-1.
