PRODUCT SAFETY AND RF
EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to occupational use
only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure
requirements. Before using this product, read
the RF energy awareness information and
operating instructions in the Product Safety
and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your
radio (Motorola Publication part number
68P81095C98) to ensure compliance with RF
energy exposure limits.
For a list of Motorola-approved antennas,
batteries, and other accessories, visit the

BATTERY INFORMATION
Charging Batteries
This product is powered by a nickel-cadmium
(NICd), nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH), or
lithium-ion rechargeable battery. Charge the
battery before use to ensure optimum capacity
and performance. The battery was designed
specifically to be used with a Motorola charger.
Charging in non-Motorola equipment may lead
to battery damage and void the battery
warranty.
Note: When charging a battery attached to a
radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full
charge.
The battery should be at about 77°F (25°C)
(room temperature), whenever possible.
Charging a cold battery (below 50° F [10°C])
may result in leakage of electrolyte and
ultimately in failure of the battery. Charging a
hot battery (above 95°F [35°C]) results in
reduced discharge capacity, affecting the
performance of the radio. Motorola rapid-rate
battery chargers contain a temperature-
sensing circuit to ensure that batteries are
charged within the temperature limits stated
above.
Before using this product, read
the operating instructions for safe
usage contained in the Product
Safety and RF Exposure booklet
enclosed with your radio.

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Motorola’s
HT Series family of radio
users. The
HT1250•LS+
, the
Intelligent Radio,
combines the very latest
in two-way technology
while delivering
outstanding functionality at the touch of a button.
The HT1250•LS+ portable radio operates on
PassPort
®
and LTR trunked and conventional
radio systems.
TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS
Trunked systems allow a large number of
users to share a relatively small number of
frequencies or repeaters without interfering
with each other. The airtime of all the repeaters
in a trunked system is pooled, which
maximizes the amount of airtime available to
any one radio and minimizes channel
congestion.
PassPort
®
Trunked Systems
PassPort is an enhanced trunking protocol
developed by Trident Micro Systems that
supports wide area dispatch networking. A
network is formed by linking several trunked
sites together to form a single system. This
offers users an extended communication
coverage area. Additionally, users with
PassPort can seamlessly roam among all sites
within the network. Seamless roaming means
that the radio user does not have to manually
change the zones on the radio when roaming
from site-to-site.
LTR
®
Trunked Systems
LTR is a transmission-based trunking protocol
developed by the E. F. Johnson Company for
primarily single site trunking applications. In
transmission trunking, a repeater is used for
only the duration of a single transmission.
Once a transmission is completed, that
repeater becomes available to other users.
This means that a conversation comprised of
many transmissions may occur over several
different channels within the LTR system. This
method of trunking provides system efficiency
8
English
INTRODUCTION
by making repeaters available to all users after
every transmission.
CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS
Conventional radio systems typically refers to
unit-to-unit communications through a single
channel. Conventional systems also allow
radio users to extend communication coverage
by relaying their messages through a repeater.
To ensure coordinated use by multiple
talkgroups, each radio user must monitor the
channel or repeater before transmitting to
verify that the system is not currently busy.
