Getting StartedEnglish2Additional Performance EnhancementThe following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX mobile radios.Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)DSR ensures the 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 the user 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 the 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 the radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.SecureNetSecureNet allows user to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC OTAR feature will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.Example DescriptionHome button or HButtons and keys are shown in bold print or as an icon.PHONE Menu entries are shown similar to the way they appear on the radio’s display.>This means “Press the right side of the 4-way Navigation button.” (Using keypad mic)Draft 1

Preparing Your Radio for UseEnglish4Turning On the RadioPress the Power Button briefly turn on the radio. After a short time, the red, yellow and green LEDs light up. The display then shows Zone and channel text, and menu items display on the screen. The backlight will turn on to the last selected dim level. Note: Pressing the Power Button before the LED lights up will be ignored.If Fail ##/## appears in the display, the radio will not function until the condition has been corrected.If Error ##/## appears, some non-critical data has been changed. If either of these displays appear, if the display goes blank, or if the unit appears to be locked up, see Helpful Tips on page 109 for more information.If the power-up test is unsuccessful, you see Error XX/YY (XX/YY is an alphanumeric code). Turn off the radio, check the battery, and turn the radio back on. If the radio fails the power-up test again, record the Error XX/YY code and contact your dealer. If CH Mismatch appears, means that either the Control Head has been connected to an incompatible transceiver, or vice versa.If your radio does not power up, contact your dealer. To turn off the radio, press the Power Button after the LEDs light up.Validating Compatibility During Power UpThe radio validates and updates the software and hardware of your control head(s) during power up. Follow the procedure below when your radio runs this task. Procedure:1The display shows Maintenance mode remote device; promptly followed by other maintenance statuses. 2The display shows Update done please reset upon completion.ORThe display shows Update failed please reset when it fails to update. 3Press the Power Button to reset. The radio runs the usual power up operation if the software updates are complete.ORPower ButtonLEDs Draft 1

Advanced FeaturesEnglish82Hear ClearThere are two components of Hear Clear. 1Companding:Reduces the channel noise, e.g. OTA transmission, that is predominantly present in UHF2 and 900 MHz channel with the following features.•Compressor – reduces the background noise flow and the speech signal at transmitting radio.•Expander – expands the speech while the noise flow remains the same at receiving radio.2Random FM Noise Canceller (Flutter Fighter):Reduces the unwanted effects of random FM noise pulses caused by channel fading under high Signal-to-Noise (S/N) conditions such as in a moving in a transportation. The fading effects, heard as audio pops and clicks, are cancelled without affecting the desired audio signal. The Random FM Noise Canceller operates only in receive mode.Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.The Global Positioning System (GPS)This feature uses information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.For example, GPS location fixes are very difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.Understanding the GPS FeatureThe GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location co-ordinates, maximizing your view of clear unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance.Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to: • In underground locations• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehiclesDraft 1
Advanced FeaturesEnglish83• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your radioEven where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher. Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an approximate location, usually within 20 meters from your actual location, but sometimes further away.Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location information and the time it takes to obtain it varies depending upon circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from an adequate number of satellites. Note: The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled by the U.S. government and are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature on your radio.Enhancing GPS PerformanceSometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then see a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites.To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please note the following guidelines:• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)This feature allows you to determine your current location using a location menu, as well as your current distance and bearing in relation to another location. Radio location may be requested and reported over-the-air.Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces the oldest waypoints in the radio.Draft 1

The two types are called ruthless and non-ruthless preemption.•Ruthless Preemption: When a ruthless preemption announcement call is initiated, the requesting radio begins transmitting immediately. All associated talkgroup calls taking place on other channels are immediately halted, and the radios are steered to the announcement call.Transmitting radios continue to transmit until the PTT button is released, at which time they also unmute for the announcement call. Individual calls (Private Conversation and telephone interconnect) are not affected.•Non-Ruthless Preemption: When a non-ruthless preemption announcement is initiated, the initiating unit receives a telephone-type busy tone, followed by a call back when all associated talkgroup conversations end. Once an announcement call is pending, any attempts by other users to initiate a talkgroup call will result in a telephone-type busy tone. These users will not receive a call back until the announcement call is complete.Draft 1
