Getting StartedEnglish2Additional Performance EnhancementThe following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of your radios.Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)DSR ensures your radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup master site dynamically in case of system failure. DSR also provides additional indication e.g. failure detection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the system to address to you who is in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV & D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.CrossTalk PreventionThis feature prevents crosstalk scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in your radio to be varied from the Receiving Frequency. This subsequently reduced the possibilities of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk. Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)EID provides security encryption and authentication of IV & D data bearer service communication between your radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.SecureNetSecureNet allows you to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC OTAR feature will allow you to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.APX_3000_M1.book Page 2 Wednesday, October 17, 2012 12:56 PM

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.Using the Digital PTT ID Feature‡This feature allows you to see the radio ID (number) of the radio from whom you are currently receiving a transmission. This ID, consisting up to a maximum of eight characters, can be viewed by both the receiving radio and your dispatcher.Your radio’s ID number is also automatically sent every time the PTT button is pressed. This is a per-channel feature. For digital voice transmissions, your radio’s ID is sent continuously during the voice message.Using the Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only)Smart PTT is a per-personality, programmable feature used in conventional radio systems to keep your radio from talking over other radio conversations.When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot transmit on an active channel.If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel, you hear an alert tone, and the transmission is inhibited. The LED lights up solid yellow to indicate that the channel is busy.Mode ResultCarrier squelch (C) You hear all traffic on a channel.PL or DPL Your radio responds only to your messages.Option ResultDigital Carrier-Operated Squelch (COS) You hear any digital traffic.Normal Squelch You hear any digital traffic having the correct network access code.Selective SwitchYou hear any digital traffic having the correct network access code and correct talkgroup.Option ResultAPX_3000_M1.book Page 56 Wednesday, October 17, 2012 12:56 PM

Advanced FeaturesEnglish57Three variations of smart PTT are available:Voice Announcement†This feature enables your radio to audibly indicate the current feature mode, Zone or Channel you have just assigned. This audio indicator can be customized per customer requirements. This is typically useful when you are in a difficult condition to read the content shown on the display. Each voice announcement is within a limit of three seconds maximum. The sum total duration for all voice announcements in your radio shall be no more than 1000 seconds.Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician.Check with your agent if Voice Announcement is available for the feature you need.The two options of priority for the Voice Announcement available are:•High – enables the voice of the feature to announce even when your radio is receiving calls.•Low – disables the voice of the feature from announcing when your radio is receiving calls.Procedure:You hear a voice announcement when the features below are preprogrammed in your radio.•Your radio powers up. Your radio announces the current zone and channel it is transmitting.•Press the preprogrammed voice announcement button (which specifically programmed to playback the current zone and channel). Your radio announces the current zone and channel it is transmitting.Note: Pressing this preprogrammed playback button will always enable the voice feature to announce in High priority.•Change to a new zone. Your radio announces the current zone and channel it is transmitting.Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with CarrierYou cannot transmit if any traffic is detected on the channel.Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong Squelch CodeYou cannot transmit on an active channel with a squelch code or (if secure-equipped) encryption key other than your own. If the PL code is the same as yours, the transmission is not prevented.Quick-Key OverrideThis feature can work in conjunction with either of the two above variations. You can override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying your radio. In other words, two PTT button presses within the preprogrammed time limit.APX_3000_M1.book Page 57 Wednesday, October 17, 2012 12:56 PM

Helpful TipsEnglish60Troubleshooting Caring for Your RadioScenario SolutionLED indicator on your radio is no functioning during transmit andreceive or any other operationYour radio might be preprogrammed in light off mode in the current channel. For covert operation, LED can be preprogrammed to turn off at specific zone channels. It is hence recommended to add key words like Light off or Light on to zone channel Voice Announcement.No LED feedback upon turning on radio via on/off switchIf battery is not running out of power, the reason might be due to your radio being previously turned off at preprogrammed light off mode channel for covert use and hence turned on at the last turned off channel, for the same reason. Use zone channel control or preprogrammed MS1 or MS2 to go to the preset channel which does not has light disabled to unview the LED.Note: No LED indication occurs when your radio receives a clear (non-secured) transmission in trunking Mode.•Your radio casting has a vent port that allows for pressure equalization in your radio. Never poke this vent with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could create leak paths into your radio and the radio’s submergibility will be lost. !Vent PortAPX_3000_M1.book Page 60 Wednesday, October 17, 2012 12:56 PM
