WELCOME
The iDEN m470 integrated digital mobile allows you to place
and receive phone calls, make and receive person-to-person or
group radio calls, and receive alphanumeric messages exactly the
same as you would with an m370 mobile. Refer to the m370
User’s Guide (Motorola part number 68P81078C55) for the
description and operation of these features.
Unlike the m370 Mobile, the m470 Mobile provides an advanced
feature set that includes:
• Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan,
• Emergency Group Call,
• Status Message, and
• Isolated Site Operation.
These advanced features are described in this supplementary
manual. Additionally, the m470 has 9.6/4.8 kbs data functionality
that allows it to initiate and receive data calls. For a complete
description of these functions, refer to the Circuit Data User’s
Guide (Motorola manual number 68P81084C18).

ADVANCED FEATURES ( m 470)
The m470 is provided with an advanced feature set as described
in this section. Additionally, the m470 has 9.6/4.8 kbs data func-
tionality and can initiate and receive data calls. For a complete
description of these functions please refer to the Circuit Data
User’s Guide (publication number 68P81084C18).
MULTI-SIMULTANEOUS TALKGROUP SCAN
Multi-Simultaneous Talkgroup Scan (Scan) allows users within a
fleet to monitor more than one talkgroup. A Talkgroup Mode,
with ID’s in the range of 1-255, is comprised of up to four talk-
groups (one Primary Talkgroup and up to three Secondary Talk-
groups). 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 key to power on your unit. Press to enter the
Group Mode.
Two different Talkgroup Modes are displayed below. The dis-
play on the left shows a non-aliased Primary Talkgroup, and the
display on the right shows an aliased Primary Talkgroup. On the
second line of the display, the talkgroup mode ID will be shown,
followed by a colon, then followed by the Primary Talkgroup.

Initiating a Group Call
Press and hold the PTT button to initiate
a group call on your Primary Talkgroup. A
talk permit tone will be heard.
The example to the right illustrates the
display 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 sub-
scriber units indicating they have joined the call. The second line
of the display will indicate the Mode number followed by Pri-
mary or Secondary Talkgroup, which may be aliased. The third
line of the display 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
Talkgroup 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 Sec-
ondary Talkgroup. (Mode 1, Secondary
Talkgroup 3). Fred’s PTT-ID is displayed
on the third line.

EMERGENCY GROUP CALL
Placing an Emergency Group Call
An Emergency Group Call allows a user to have priority access to
his talkgroup members and provide them visual and audible indi-
cations of an emergency condition. The Emergency call can be
placed from any mode (private, group, phone).
1. Press and hold the Emergency Button. The mobile will emit
an emergency start tone to indicate that you have successfully
requested an emergency call.
2. Press the PTT to talk. The currently
selected Talkgroup Mode will be selected
unless your organization preprogrammed
an emergency Talkgroup Mode. If this is
the case, the preprogrammed emergency
Talkgroup Mode will flash in the display.
The Talkgroup Mode appears in the sec-
ond line of the display as shown.
3. To end an emergency call, press and hold the Emergency But-
ton for 3 seconds. The mobile will return to the last selected talk-
group. The initiator cannot exit the emergency call without first
cancelling the emergency call.
Cancelling an Emergency Group Call
Press the Emergency Button until the unit generates an Emer-
gency Call Cancel tone. This tone indicates the cancellation has
occurred. The display will return to the non-emergency state.
An emergency call will be cancelled if no talkgroup activity
occurs for 30 seconds. The dispatcher, or any other person provi-
sioned to cancel an emergency call, can also cancel the emer-
gency call.
Receiving an Emergency Group Call
When an emergency call is initiated, other members of the talk-
group will be notified of an emergency condition.
