This feature allows radio calls in
progress to continue after the vehicle’s
ignition is turned off, with no interrup-
tion to your conversation.
ADJUSTING VOLUME
The Power knob is also used to adjust the speaker volume. To in-
crease the volume level, rotate the Power knob clockwise. Rotate
the Power knob counterclockwise to decrease the volume level.
OPERATING YOUR MOBILE UNIT
To operate your mobile unit, lift the microphone to your mouth.
Press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button and speak
directly into the microphone. Release the PTT to listen. Upon
pressing PTT, you will hear one of the following alert tones:
• A high, chirp-like tone indicates that you have permission to
talk. Begin speaking after the tone.
• A low continuous tone indicates that you cannot talk at this
time. Wait a moment and try again.
• A busy-like tone indicates that the system is busy. Wait for a
call-back (high-pitched) tone, then try again.
A time-out timer limits the amount of time you can continuously
talk. When the allotted time expires, you will hear a low-pitched
cut-off tone.
The display illumi-
nates during the self-
check routine to verify
operation.

SAFETY AND GENERAL INFORMATION
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON SAFE AND EFFICIENT
OPERATION. READ THIS INFORMATION BEFORE USING
YOUR INTEGRATED MULTI-SERVICE MOBILE RADIO.
For the safe and efficient operation of your radio, observe these
guidelines.
Your radio contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it
receives and transmits radio frequency (RF) energy. The radio
operates in the frequency range of 806MHz to 866MHz and
employs digital modulation techniques. When you use your
radio, the system handling your call controls the power level at
which your radio transmits. The power level may typically vary
over a range from 0.03 of a watt to 3 watts.
• Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
of the United States with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-
326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to
radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regu-
lated transmitters. In addition, the International Commission on
Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNRP) has established
standards containing RF exposure guidelines. Motorola iDEN
products comply with these standards.
• Antenna and Installation Considerations
All equipment must be properly installed according to Motorola
installation instructions.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could impair call quality,
damage the radio, or result in violation of the ICNRP or the
FCC.
• Interference to Medical and Personal
Electronic Devices
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. How-
ever, RF energy from the radio transmitter may affect inade-
quately shielded electronic equipment.
Do not operate the radio when any person is within 6 inches (0.15
meters) of the antenna. That person may be using a pacemaker, a

hearing aid or other personal electronic device which may not be
adequately shielded.
• Interference to other Electronic Devices
RF energy may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic operating and entertainment systems in
motor vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or representative to
determine if these systems are adequately shielded from external
energy. Also check with the manufacturer of any equipment that
has been added to the vehicle.
• Use while driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of telephones in the
areas where you drive. Always obey them.
•Blasting Areas and Explosives
• Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
!
C a u t i o n
When using the phone while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving and to the
road;
• use hands free operation, if available; and
• pull off the road and park before making
or answering a call if driving conditions so
require.
!
W A R N I N G
!
Do not operate the radio near electric blasting
caps, or in a blasting area, to avoid the possibil-
ity of triggering an explosion. Turn your radio
OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas where
such requirements are posted.
!
W A R N I N G
!
Turn your radio OFF when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but
your radio or its accessories could generate
sparks which might trigger an explosion.

USER’S GUIDE
LM100/m100 15
AdditionalInformation
AdditionalInformation
• For Vehicles Equipped with an Air Bag
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include areas such as below deck on boats, fuel
or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or parti-
cles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid,
or explosives in the compartment of your vehi-
cle which contains your radio or accessories.
Vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas
(such as propane or butane) must comply with
the National Fire Protection Standard (NFPA-
58). For a copy of this standard, contact the
National Fire Protection Association. One Bat-
terymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269, Attn: Publi-
cations Sales Division.

An air bag inflates with great force. DO NOT
place objects, including communication equip-
ment, in the area over the air bag or in the air
bag deployment area. If the communication
equipment is improperly installed and the air
bag inflates, this could cause serious injury.
Installation of vehicle communication equip-
ment should be performed by a professional
installer/technician qualified in the require-
ments for such installations. An air bag’s size,
shape, and deployment area can vary by vehicle
make, model, and front compartment configura-
tion (for example, bench seat vs. bucket seats).
Contact the vehicle manufacturer’s corporate
headquarters, if necessary, for specific air bag
information for the vehicle make, model, and
front compartment configuration involved in
your communication equipment installation.

Cleaning Instructions
Clean the external surfaces of the handset with a damp cloth, using a
mild solution of dishwashing detergent and water. Some household
cleaners may contain chemicals which could seriously damage the
housing. Avoid the use of any petroleum-based solvent cleaners.
Also, avoid applying liquids directly on the unit.
Status Indicator Table
There are three status indicators to the left of the display which
visually tell you the different states of your unit. The top indica-
tor is red, the middle indicator is yellow, and the bottom is green.
Below is a description of these indicators.
Status Indicator Illuminates While:
Solid Green Talking/Transmitting
Blinking Green In Service
Solid Yellow Reserved for Future Use
Blinking Yellow Reserved for Future Use
Solid Red No Service
Blinking Red Registering on a Network
The area within which your unit operates is defined by
your service provider. Since this is a radio system, no
exact boundaries (as on a map) can be drawn. The
red status indicator (No Service) lights solid if you are
beyond range of a service area. There may be locations
within your area, such as tunnels and underground
parking facilities, where the unit may act as if it were
beyond range.
