INTRODUCTION

This manual (L3000E) is a supplement to the Motorola Digital

Communicator L3000 User’s Guide. It explains advanced features

that are available on your portable.

This manual explains how the radio works when it ships from the

factory. Many features are programmable by your organization. Be

sure to refer to your organization’s instructions to ﬁnd out the differ-

ences.

This Supplement explains the following Advanced Dispatch Fea-

tures:

Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan

This feature allows you to monitor more than one talkgroup within

your ﬂeet.

Status Message

Status Message - Allows you to send a Status Message to the dis-

patcher, or to the target ID of your choice. Status Messages like “AT

LUNCH” and “EN ROUTE” can be programmed and sent. Up to

10 named (aliased) Status Messages are available per unit.

Emergency Group Call

Emergency Group Call - Provides priority access to talkgroup mem-

bers, and provides visible and audible indications of an emergency

condition. The emergency call will take place on a pre-programmed

emergency talkgroup or the last selected talkgroup (depending on

how the portable is programmed).

Isolated Site Operation (ISO)

ISO allows you to continue group call communications within a sin-

gle cell site when connectivity to the network is lost. This feature

does this by allowing the cell to operate in a local, one cell only

mode.

ANCED FEATURES (L3000E)

The L3000E is provided with an advanced feature set as described

in this section. Additionally, the L3000E has 4.8 kbs data function-

ality and can initiate and receive data calls. For a complete descrip-

tion of these functions please refer to te Circuit Data User’s Guide

(publication number 68P81084C18).

Multi-Simultaneous T

alkgroup Scan

Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan (Scan) allows users within a

ﬂeet to monitor more than one talkgroup. A Talkgroup Mode,

within the range of 1-255, is comprised of up to four talkgroups (one

Primary Talkgroup and up to three Secondary Talkgroups). Calls

can only be initiated on the user’s Primary Talkgroup, however, a

user can respond to an active call on either a Primary or Secondary

Talkgroup. Both Primary and Secondary Talkgroups can be named

(aliased), however, Talkgroup Modes cannot be aliased. The default

setting of the Scan feature is “ON”, but the user has the capability

of disabling Scan through an option key. The unit will store the last

Scan setting, and power on with that setting.

Entering Group Mode

Press the

Power key to power on your unit. Press to enter

Group Mode.

Two different Talkgroup Modes are displayed below. The Primary

Talkgroup is indicated to the right of the Talkgroup Mode. The dis-

play on the left shows a non-aliased Primary Talkgroup, and the dis-

play on the right shows an aliased Primary Talkgroup.

Initiating a Group Call

Press and hold the PTT button to initiate a

group call on your Primary Talkgroup.

The example to the right illustrates the dis-

play if Fred pressed the PTT to initiate a

call on the Electricians talkgroup. This is

Fred’s Primary Talkgroup for Mode 3.

All subscriber units that have afﬁliated with

your Primary Talkgroup as either a Primary

or Secondary Talkgroup in any Talkgroup

Mode will receive your group call if they are

not already engaged in an active call.

The following screens will be displayed on the receiver subscriber

units indicating they have joined the call. The second line of the

display will indicate the Mode number followed by Primary or Sec-

ondary Talkgroup, which may be aliased. The third line of the dis-

play indicates the PTT-ID of the unit initiating the group call, which

can also be aliased.

Example: Jason joins the Electricians talk-

group. He has also selected Electricians as

his Primary Talkgroup for Talkgroup 3, but

he has no alias for his talkgroup, so the Talk-

group number (TG ID) is displayed. Fred’s

PTT-ID is displayed on the third line.

Example: Julie joins the call and the unit

updates the alias to indicate active Second-

ary Talkgroup. (Mode 1, Secondary Talk-

group 3). Fred’s PTT-ID is displayed on the

third line.

Isolated Site Operation

Isolated Site Operation (ISO) allows group call communications to

continue within a single cell site when connectivity to the network is

lost by allowing the cell to operate in a local, one cell only mode.

ISO is limited to dispatch talkgroup calls only. In Phone and Private

Conversation modes the display will update to include “-Isoft” on

the ﬁrst line. Talkgroup communications will be limited to only

those units that are connected to the ISO cell, and only on the talk-

group or Talkgroup Mode (depending on Scan setting) that the sub-

scriber unit last used before the cell entered the ISO state.

Entering ISO

The portable will enter the ISO state when its cell becomes isolated

from the network, assuming the portable has no available neighbor

cells. It will display one of the following screens: (while in ISO the

LED indicator is off unless the unit is transmitting. The LED will

be green during those periods).

Phone Mode

Group Call Mode

Private Call Mode

Note: If the portable is powered on in an ISO cell, it will enter the

ISO state if there are no available neighbor cells.

Initiating a Group Call

If the portable has Scan enabled when the site enters ISO, the porta-

ble will be able to initiate a call on its Primary Talkgroup and can

respond to calls started on either the Primary or any Secondary Talk-

group.

The portable will not be able to select a new

Talkgroup Mode while in ISO condition.

If the portable has Scan disabled when the

site enters ISO, the portable will be able to

initiate and respond to calls on the Primary

Talkgroup only.

Exiting ISO

When the cell returns to normal operation, the unit will revert back

to standard operation. The green LED indicator will resume blink-

ing.

If the unit goes out of range of the ISO cell and has no available

neighbor cells, the unit will go out of service.
