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.
Q ABOUT YOUR RADIO
The radio 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 radio, obey all laws and respect privacy and
legitimate rights of others.
Warning: To use any features in this radio, other than the alarm
clock, the radio must be switched on. Do not switch the radio on
when wireless phone use may cause interference or danger.
Your radio and its enhancements may contain small parts. Keep them out of
reach of small children.
Q Network Services
To use the phone you must have service from a wireless service provider.
Many of the features in this radio 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
THR880i_Rel6_en_print.book Page 11 Jeudi, 20. novembre 2008 2:13 14

FOR YOUR SAFETY
12
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 radio. Contact your service provider for more
information.
Q Shared memory
The following features in this radio share memory: images in gallery,
waypoints, and Java applications. Use of one or more of these features may
reduce the memory available for the remaining features sharing memory.
Some other features may also share memory: contacts, calendar, to-do
notes, and note application. For example, saving many notes may use all of
the available memory. Your radio 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 features, such as contacts, may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the memory
shared with other features.
Q Enhancements, batteries, and chargers
Always switch the radio off and disconnect the charger before removing the
battery.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this radio. This radio
is intended for use when supplied with power from ACP-12 and LCH-12.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements
approved by EADS 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 radio do not meet
the same durability or water resistance specifications as the radio
itself. For example, all the chargers are only to be used in dry
conditions. They should never be used when damp or wet.
THR880i_Rel6_en_print.book Page 12 Jeudi, 20. novembre 2008 2:13 14

FOR YOUR SAFETY
13
Q Interference filters
For all other radios except for RC-3
To check the type number of your radio, remove the battery. The type
number (RC-2, RC-3, RC-4, RC-6, RC-10, RC-11, RC-12 or RC-13) is
printed on the white label inside your radio. When charging your radio with
the charger ACP-12, you need to use two electromagnetic interference
filters. The only exception is the RC-3 radio, which does not require using
these filters. Two filters are supplied in the sales package, and they are also
available as separate accessories. See Install the electromagnetic
interference filters on page 19 for how to install the filters to the charger’s
power cord.

General information
14
General information
Q Active holder
The wearable active holder CRR-1 offers
multiple carrying possibilities, and makes
the EADS THR880i radio an integral part of
the work outfit.
Q Access codes
The factory setting for the four-digit phone
code is 1234. When the phone code
request is enabled, the code is requested
each time the radio is switched on. See
Security settings on page 98.
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 98.
Q 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 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 56.
THR880i_Rel6_en_print.book Page 14 Jeudi, 20. novembre 2008 2:13 14

General information
15
Q 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.
If you start to make a
red key call or an emergency call to an
emergency number programmed into your radio when transmission
barring is active, the radio automatically deactivates transmission
barring and attempts to make the call. See Red key calls and
emergency calls in direct mode on page 61.
Note: If you start to make a red key call or an emergency call when
transmission barring is active, transmission barring will be
deactivated, and you should consider exiting the area where you
wanted transmission to be barred.
THR880i_Rel6_en_print.book Page 15 Jeudi, 20. novembre 2008 2:13 14

General information
16
To activate or deactivate transmission barring, select Menu →
Settings → Phone settings → Transmission barring → On or Off.
Transmission barring should be active before you enter the area
where you want transmission to be barred. or is displayed in
the idle mode when transmission barring is active. Depending on
predefined radio settings, the radio may send a notification message
to the network about the activation. is displayed if the message
does not need to be sent or message sending failed, and is
displayed if the message has been sent.
Q Network selection
In addition to your predefined home network, you may be able to
select other networks in which your radio can operate (network
service), for example, if you are not in the coverage area of your
home network. The network can be changed automatically or
manually; see Network selection on page 95.
Some services are network dependent, so the availability of services
may change when the network is changed. In addition, the selected
folder, selected group, home group, or the availability of groups may
change when the network is changed.
Q Using your radio in wet and damp conditions
• You can use this radio in the rain, but do not submerge it in water.
• If the radio or the system connector has been exposed to salt water, wash
it immediately with freshwater to avoid corrosion. The radio must be
carefully wiped dry.
• Before opening the back cover, dry the radio to prevent water from
reaching the interior of the radio. The battery is not water resistant.
• Never charge the radio when the bottom connector is wet or damp.
• Never use a damp radio with enhancements that have an electrical
function (such as a desk stand or car kit).

1. Getting started
Q Install the battery
1. To open the battery cover, press the
release button upwards, away from the
bottom connectors. Pressing the release
button down makes the opening harder.
2. Slide the battery under the back cover of
the radio so that the end with the
contacts enters first.
3. To close the battery cover, hold the
radio with both hands so that the back of
the radio faces upwards and the
antenna points towards you. Slide the
cover downwards with your thumbs so
that the locking catches near the hinge
(1) are pushed under the cover and are
no longer visible. Then press both sides
of the end of the cover down at the same
time to lock the cover in place (2). Be
careful when closing the battery cover. If the cover is not properly
closed or, for example, the locking catches or the seals are
damaged, the durability of the radio against shocks and water is
impaired.
Always switch the radio off and disconnect the charger before
removing the battery.

Q Install the electromagnetic interference filters
For all other radios except for RC-3
To check the type number of your radio, remove the battery. The
type number (RC-2, RC-3, RC-4, RC-6, RC-10, RC-11, RC-12 or
RC-13) is printed on the white label inside your radio.
When
charging your radio with the charger ACP-12, you need to use two
electromagnetic interference filters. The only exception is the RC-3
radio, which does not require using these filters.
Two filters are
supplied in the sales package, and they are also available as
separate accessories.
Install the filters to the charger’s power cord before you connect the
charger to the radio or an AC wall outlet.
1. The filters should be placed on the power cord one after the
other, within 15 cm (6 inches) of the charger. Place the power
cord inside the opened filter, and then wrap it in one loop around
the filter.
2. Close the filters around the power cord.

outlet. The battery indicator bar
starts to scroll. Charging is briefly
