FOR YOUR SAFETY
Read these simple guidelines. Not following them may be dangerous or illegal. Read the
complete user guide for further information.
SWITCH ON SAFELY
Do not switch the device on when wireless phone use is prohibited or when it
may cause interference or danger.
ROAD SAFETY COMES FIRST
Obey all local laws. Always keep your hands free to operate the vehicle while
driving. Your first consideration while driving should be road safety.
INTERFERENCE
All wireless devices may be susceptible to interference, which could affect
performance.
SWITCH OFF IN HOSPITALS
Follow any restrictions. Switch the device off near medical equipment.
SWITCH OFF IN AIRCRAFT
Follow any restrictions. Wireless devices can cause interference in aircraft.
SWITCH OFF WHEN REFUELLING
Don't use the device at a refuelling point. Don't use near fuel or chemicals.
SWITCH OFF NEAR BLASTING
Follow any restrictions. Don't use the device where blasting is in progress.

16Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved.
USE SENSIBLY
Use only in the normal position as explained in the product documentation.
Don't touch the antenna unnecessarily.
QUALIFIED SERVICE
Only qualified personnel may install or repair this product.
ENHANCEMENTS AND BATTERIES
Use only approved enhancements and batteries. Do not connect incompatible
products.
BACK-UP COPIES
Remember to make back-up copies or keep a written record of all important
information.
CONNECTING TO OTHER DEVICES
When connecting to any other device, read its user guide for detailed safety
instructions. Do not connect incompatible products.
EMERGENCY CALLS
Ensure the radio is switched on and in service. Press as many times as
needed to clear the display and return to the start screen. Key in the emergency
number, then press . Give your location. Do not end the call until given
permission to do so.
■ABOUT YOUR DEVICE
The wireless device described in this guide is approved for use on the TETRA network.
Contact your service provider for more information about networks.
When using the features in this device, obey all laws and respect privacy and legitimate
rights of others.

17Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved.
Warning: To use any features in this device, other than the alarm clock, the device
must be switched on. Do not switch the device on when wireless device use may
cause interference or danger.
Your device and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of reach of small
children.
■Network Services
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of the
features in this device depend on features in the wireless network to function. These
Network Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to make specific
arrangements with your service provider before you can utilize Network Services. Your
service provider may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain what
charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you can use
Network Services. For instance, some networks may not support all language-dependent
characters and services.
Your service provider may have requested that certain features be disabled or not activated
in your device. Contact your service provider for more information.
■Shared memory
The following features in this device may share memory: contacts, calendar, to-do notes,
images in gallery, and note application. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the
memory available for the remaining features sharing memory. For example, saving many
notes may use all of the available memory. Your device may display a message that the
memory is full when you try to use a shared memory feature. In this case, delete some of the
information or entries stored in the shared memory features before continuing. Some of the

18Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved.
features, such as contacts, may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them
in addition to the memory shared with other features.
■Enhancements, batteries, and chargers
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended
for use when supplied with power from ACP-8, ACP-9, ACP-12, LCH-9, and LCH-12.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by Nokia for
use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any
approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Important: Enhancements to be used with this device do not meet the same
durability or water resistance specifications as the device itself. For example, all
the chargers are only to be used in dry conditions. They should never be used when
damp or wet.
■Interference filters (for RC-2 and RC-4)
To check the type number of your radio, remove the battery. The type number (RC-2, RC-3, or
RC-4) is printed on the white label inside your radio. When charging an RC-2 or RC-4 radio
with the charger ACP-8, ACP-9 or ACP-12, you need to use two electromagnetic
interference filters. Two filters are supplied in the sales package, and they are also available
as separate accessories. See Install the electromagnetic interference filters (for RC-2
and RC-4) on page 24 for how to install the filters to the charger’s power cord.

General information
■Active holder
The wearable active holder CRR-1 offers multiple carrying
possibilities, and makes the Nokia THR880i radio an
integral part of the work outfit.
■Access codes
The factory setting for the four-digit PIN code is 1234.
When the PIN code request is enabled, the code is
requested each time the radio is switched on. See Security
settings on page 106.
The factory setting for the five-digit security code is
12345.
To prevent unauthorised use of your radio, change the
codes. Keep the new codes secret and in a safe place
separate from your radio. See Security settings on page 106.
■Modes of operation
Your radio has two modes of operation: network mode and direct mode. In the
network mode, the radio operates using the TETRA network. In the direct mode,
the radio operates without the network, so that the radios communicate directly

20Copyright © 2005 Nokia. All rights reserved.
with each other. In the direct mode, only some functions of the radio are available.
For more information on the direct mode, see Direct mode on page 65.
■Transmission barring
When transmission barring is active, the radio does not send any signals to the
network, and only limited network services are available. In the network mode, the
radio can only receive group calls and status and text messages addressed to talk
groups, providing that the radio is registered to the network. In the direct mode,
the radio can receive direct mode calls. When transmission barring is active, the
radio cannot re-register to the network, for example, if it is switched off and then
on again.
The limited network services in the network mode are only available in the
coverage area of the network cell where the radio was last registered. The radio
cannot register to other network cells while transmission barring is active, and
therefore the area of operation may be limited.
When transmission barring is active in the network mode, the radio cannot send
the necessary information to the network about changes in talk groups. When
transmission barring is active, you cannot change the selected group. If you make
any other changes that affect talk groups, such as change the selected folder,
home group, or the scanning priority of a group, you will not be able to receive
further communication from the affected groups. After transmission barring has
been deactivated, the radio can attempt to negotiate the changes with the
network.
