What is auto fallback?
Auto Fallback is a system feature that allows you to continue to make and receive non-emergency calls on the selected Group Contact, if certain types of failures occur in the Connect Plus system. If one of these failures occurs, your radio attempts to roam to a different Connect Plus site. This search process may result in your radio finding an operable Connect Plus site, or it may result in your radio finding a Fallback Channel (if your radio is enabled for Auto Fallback). A Fallback Channel is a repeater that is normally part of an operable Connect Plus site, but cannot communicate with either the site controller or Connect Plus network at that moment. In Fallback mode, the repeater operates as a single digital repeater. Auto Fallback Mode supports non-emergency Group Calls only and no other call types are supported in Fallback Mode.
What are the indications of auto fallback mode?
When your radio is using a Fallback channel, you hear the intermittent Fallback Tone approximately once every 15 seconds (except while transmitting). The display periodically shows a brief message, Fallback Channel. Your radio only permits PTT on the selected Group Contact (Group Call, Multigroup Call, or Site All Call) and does not allow you to make other types of calls.
How do I make/receive calls in fallback mode?
Calls are heard only by radios that are monitoring the same Fallback channel and selected to the same Group. Calls are not networked to other sites or other repeaters. Emergency voice calls or Emergency Alerts are not available in Fallback mode. If you press the emergency button in Fallback mode, the radio provides an invalid key press tone and display-equipped radios also show the message, “Feature not available”.
Private (radio to radio) and Phone calls are not available in Fallback mode. If you attempt a call to a private contact, you will receive a denial tone, at this point you should select a desired group contact. Other non-supported calls include Remote Monitor, Call Alert, Radio Check, Radio Enable, Radio Disable, Text messaging, Location Updates, and packet data calls.
Making calls in Fallback mode is similar to normal functioning. Simply select the group contact you wish to use (using the radio’s normal channel selection method), and then press the PTT to start your call. It is possible that the channel may be in use already by another group. If the channel is in use, you receive a busy tone and the display will say “Channel Busy”. You may select Group, Multi-group or Site All Call contacts using your radio’s normal channel selection method. While the radio is operating on the Fallback Channel, the Multigroup operates just like other Groups and is only heard by radios that are currently selected to the same Multi-group.
How do I return to normal operation from fallback mode?
If the site returns to normal trunking operation while you are in range of your Fallback repeater, your radio automatically exits Auto Fallback mode and you will hear a registration “beep” when the radio successfully registers. If you are in the range of an operable site (that is not in Fallback mode), you may press the Roam Request button (if programmed for your radio) to force your radio to search for and register on an available site. If no other site is available, your radio returns to Auto Fallback mode after searching is complete. If you drive out of coverage of your Fallback repeater, your radio enters Search mode (display indicates Searching).
What is radio check?
If enabled, this feature allows you to determine if another radio is active in a system without disturbing the user of that radio. No audible or visual notification is shown on the target radio. This feature is only applicable for subscriber IDs.

If the target radio is not active in the system, a tone sounds and the display briefly shows Target Radio Not Available. Radio returns to the subscriber alias or ID screen when initiated via Menu and radio returns to the Home Screen if initiated via the programmable button.
What is remote monitor?
Use the Remote Monitor feature to turn on the microphone of a target radio (subscriber alias or ID only). The green LED will blink once on the target subscriber. You can use this feature to monitor, remotely, any audible activity surrounding the target radio. Your radio must be programmed to allow you to use this feature.
How do I use remote monitor?
- Access the Remote Monitor feature after any attempt to dial a subscriber alias or ID is unsuccessful, or after a power up.
- Press the menu button.
- Press the up or down arrow to Contacts and press the select button.
- Press the up or down arrow to the required subscriber alias or ID and press the select button.

Your radio starts playing audio from the monitored radio for a programmed duration and display shows Rem. Monitor, followed by target alias. Once the timer expires, the radio sounds an alert tone and the LED turns off. If unsuccessful, the radio sounds a negative indicator tone the display shows Rem. Monitor Failed.
What is scan?
This feature allows your radio to monitor and join calls for groups defined in a pre-programmed scan list. When scan is enabled, the scan icon appears on the status bar and the LED blinks yellow when idle.
How do I start and stop scan?
This procedure turns the Scan feature On or Off for all Connect Plus zones with the same Network ID as your currently selected zone. It is important to note that even when the Scan feature is turned on via this procedure, scan may still be disabled for some (or all) groups on your scan list.
You can start and stop scanning by pressing the programmed Scan button OR follow the procedure described next.
- Press the menu button.
- Press the up or down arrow to Scan and press select.
- Press the up or down arrow to Turn On or Turn Off and press select.
The display shows Scan On if scan is enabled and the Scan menu shows Turn Off if scan is enabled. The display shows Scan Off if scan is disabled and the Scan menu shows Turn On if scan is disabled.
How do I respond to a transmission during a scan?
During scanning, your radio stops on a group where activity is detected. The radio continuously listens for any member in the scan list when idle on the control channel.
- Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
- Press the PTT button during hang time. The LED lights up solid green.
- Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled), and speak clearly into the microphone.
- Release the PTT button to listen.
If you do not respond within the hang time, the radio returns to scanning other groups.
What is user configurable scan?
If the Edit List menu is enabled, a user is able to Add and Remove the scan members from the Add Member menu. A Scan List member must be a regular Group Contact (for example, not Multi-group or Site All Call/Network Wide All Call) that is currently assigned to a Channel Selector position in a Connect Plus Zone with the same Network ID as the currently selected Zone. The Talkgroup alias must not match any Talkgroup that has been included in the current Zone Scan List. Scan can be turned on or off from the menu or by pressing a programmed Scan On/Off button.
This feature functions only when the radio is not currently involved in a call. If you are presently listening to a call, your radio cannot scan for other group calls, and is therefore unaware they are in progress. Once your call is finished, your radio returns to the control channel time slot and is able to scan for groups that are in the scan list.
How do I edit the scan list?
If the scan list entry happens to be the currently selected group, the radio listens for activity on this group regardless of whether the list entry currently shows a check mark or not. Whenever a radio is not in a call, the radio listens for activity on its Selected Group, Multi-group, the Site All Call, and its Default Emergency Revert Group (if configured for one). This operation cannot be disabled. If Scan is enabled the radio will also listen for activity on enabled Zone Scan List members.
Your scan list determines which groups can be scanned. The list is created when your radio is programmed. If your radio has been programmed to allow you to edit the scan list, you can enable/disable scan for individual groups on the list and Add and Remove the scan members from the Add Member menu.
- Press the menu button.
- Press the up or down arrow to View/Edit List and press select.
- Press the up or down arrow to the desired Group name.
If a check mark precedes the Group name, then scan is currently enabled for this Group. If there is no check mark preceding the Group name, then scan is currently disabled for this Group.
- Press select to select the desired Group.
The display shows Enable if scan is currently disabled for the Group and the display shows Disable if scan is currently enabled for the Group.
- Select the displayed option (Enable or Disable) and press select.
Depending on which option was selected, the radio momentarily displays Scan Enabled or Scan Disabled as confirmation. The radio displays the Zone scan list again. If scan was enabled for the Group, the check mark displays before the Group name. If scan was disabled for the Group, the check mark is removed before the Group name.
How do I add or delete a group via the add members menu?
The Connect Plus radio does not allow a duplicate group number or a duplicate group alias to be placed on a zone scan list (or to be shown as a “scan candidate”). Thus, the list of “scan candidates” described in step 6 and step 7 sometimes changes after adding or deleting a group from the zone scan list.
If your radio has been programmed to allow you to edit the scan list, you can use the Add Members menu to add a group to the scan list of the currently selected zone, or to delete a group from the scan list of the currently selected zone.
- Press the menu button.
- Press the up or down arrow to Scan option and press select.
- Press the up or down arrow to <Add Members> and press to select.
The display shows Add Members from Zone n (n = the Connect Plus zone number of the first Connect Plus zone in your radio with the same Network ID as your currently selected zone).
- Do one of the following:
- If the group you want to add to the scan list is assigned to a channel selector position in that zone, go to step 6.
- If the group you want to add to the scan list is assigned to a channel selector position in a different Connect Plus zone, go to step 5.
- Press the up or down arrow to scroll a list of Connect Plus zones that have the same Network ID as the currently selected zone.
- After locating the Connect Plus zone where the desired group is assigned to a channel selector position, press select to select.
Your radio displays the first entry in a list of groups assigned to a channel position in that zone. The groups on the list are called “scan candidates”, because they can be added to the scan list of your currently selected zone (or they are already on the zone scan list). If the zone does not have any groups that can be added to the scan list, the radio displays No Candidates.
- Press the up or down arrow to scroll through the list of candidate groups.
If a plus sign (+) is displayed immediately before the group alias, this indicates the group is currently on the scan list for the selected zone. If the plus sign (+) is not displayed immediately before the alias, the group is not currently on the scan list, but can be added.
- Press select when the desired group alias is displayed.
If this group is not currently on the scan list for the currently selected zone, the Add (Group Alias) message is displayed. If this group is already on the scan list for the currently selected zone, the Delete (Group Alias) message is displayed.
- Press select to accept the displayed message (Add or Delete).
If deleting a group from the list, you will know the operation is successful because the plus sign (+) will no longer display immediately before the alias. If adding a group to the list, you will know the operation is successful because the plus sign (+) will display before the alias. If you are attempting to add a group, and the list is already full, the radio displays List Full. If this should occur, it will be necessary to delete a group from the scan list prior to adding a new one.
- When finished, press select as many times as necessary to return to the desired menu.
How does scan operation work?
If the Radio joins a call for a Zone Scan List member from a different Zone and Call Hang Timer expires before you are able to respond, in order to respond, you must navigate to the Zone and Channel of the Scan List Member and start a new call.
There are some circumstances in which you can miss calls for groups that are in your scan list. When you miss a call for one of the following reasons, this does not indicate a problem with your radio and this is a normal scan operation for Connect Plus.
- Scan feature is not turned on (check for the scan icon on the display).
- Scan list member has been disabled via the menu.
- You are participating in a call already.
- No member of the scanned group is registered at your site (Multisite systems only).
What is scan talkback?
If your radio scans into a call from the selectable group scan list, and if the PTT button is pressed during the scanned call, the operation of the radio depends on whether Scan Talkback was enabled or disabled during radio programming.
- Scan Talkback Disabled: The radio leaves the scanned call and attempts to transmit on the contact for the currently selected channel position. After the Call Hang Time on the currently selected contact expires, the radio returns to the home channel and starts the Scan Hang Time Timer. The radio resumes group scan after its Scan Hang Time Timer expires.
- Scan Talkback Enabled: If the PTT button is pressed during the Group Hang Time of the scanned call, the radio attempts to transmit to the scanned group.
What should I do if I scan into a call for a group that is not assigned to a channel position in the currently selected zone and the call ends?
For Capacity Max, if you scan into a call for a group that is not assigned to a channel position in the currently selected zone and the call ends, switch to the proper zone and then select the channel position of the group to talk back to that group.
For Connect Plus, if you scan into a call for a group that is not assigned to a channel position in the currently selected zone and you miss the Hang Time of the call, switch to the proper zone and then select the channel position of the group to talk back to that group.
How do I edit priority for a talkgroup?
The Priority Monitor feature allows the radio to automatically receive transmission from the talkgroup with higher priority when it is in another call. A tone sounds when the radio switches to the call with higher priority. There are two levels of priority for the talkgroups: P1 and P2 and P1 has higher priority than P2. If Default Emergency Revert Group ID is configured in MOTOTRBO Connect Plus Option Board CPS, there are three levels of priority for talkgroups: P0, P1, and P2 and P0 is the permanent Emergency Revert Group ID and the highest priority.

How does the privacy feature work?
If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a software-based scrambling solution. The signaling and user identification portions of a transmission are not scrambled. Your radio must have privacy enabled on the current channel selector position to send a privacy-enabled transmission, although this is not a necessary requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a privacy-enabled channel selector position, the radio is still able to receive clear (unscrambled) transmissions. Your radio supports Enhanced Privacy. To unscramble a privacy-enabled call transmission, your radio must be programmed to have the same Key Value and Key ID (for Enhanced Privacy) as the transmitting radio. If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different Key Value and Key ID, you hear nothing at all (Enhanced Privacy). If the radio has a privacy type assigned, the Home screen shows the Secure or Unsecure icon, except when the radio is sending or receiving an Emergency call or alarm. The LED lights up solid green while the radio is transmitting and blinks green rapidly when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacy-enabled transmission.

What should I know about checking for updates?
Connect Plus provides the ability to update certain files (Option Board Codeplug, Network Frequency File, and Option Board Firmware File) Over-The-Air (OTA). Check with the dealer or network administrator to determine whether this feature has been enabled for your radio. Any display Connect Plus radio has the ability to show its current Option Board OTA Codeplug CRC, Frequency File version or Option Board firmware file version by using a menu option.
How do I check for pending files?
Display radios that have been enabled for over-the-air file transfer can display the version of a “pending file”. A “pending file” is a Frequency File or Option Board firmware file that the Connect Plus radio knows about through system messaging, but the radio has not yet collected all of the file packets.
If a display Connect Plus radio has a pending file, the menu provides options to:
- See the version number of the pending file.
- See what percentage of packets has been collected so far.
- Request the Connect Plus radio to resume collecting file packets.
What happens when the radio is collecting file packets?
If the radio is enabled for Connect Plus OTA file transfer, there may be times when the radio automatically joins a file transfer without first notifying the radio user. While the radio is collecting file packets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the radio displays the High Volume Data icon on the Home Screen status bar. The Connect Plus radio cannot collect file packets and receive calls at the same time. If you wish to cancel the file transfer, press and release the PTT button. This causes the radio to request a call on the selected Contact Name, and it will also cancel the file transfer for that radio until the process resumes at a later time.
What can make the file transfer process start again?
- The radio system administrator re-initiates the OTA file transfer.
- The Option Board pre-defined timer expires, which causes the Option Board to automatically resume the process of collecting packets.
- The timer has not yet expired, but the radio user requests the file transfer to resume through the menu option.
What happens after the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading all file packets?
After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading all file packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquired file. For the Network Frequency File, this is an automatic process and does not require a radio reset. For the Option Board Codeplug File, this is an automatic process that will cause a brief interruption to service as the Option Board loads the new codeplug information and re-acquires a network site. How quickly the radio upgrades to a new Option Board firmware file depends on how the radio has been configured by the dealer or system administrator. The radio will either upgrade immediately after collecting all file packets, or it will wait until the next time that the user turns the radio on. Check with your dealer or system administrator to determine how your radio has been programmed.
