The following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX 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 Prevention

This 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.



SecureNet

SecureNet 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.

What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can Tell You

Check with your dealer or system administrator, if the radio is to be operated in extremely temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C), for the correct radio settings to ensure proper top and front display operation.

You can also consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:

• Is your radio preprogrammed with any preset conventional

channels?

• Which buttons have been preprogrammed to access other

features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

MFK is the on/off button of your radio. See Turning On the Radio on page 7 for the procedure to power up and down the

radio. In addition, there are programmable features available for MFK,

which are:

Mode Change – Turn MFK to scroll the channel or zone list.

Vol u m e C h a n g e – Turn MFK to increase or decrease the

volume level of the speaker. Fast turn of MFK makes coarse tuning of the volume level; slow turn of MFK makes fine tuning of the volume level. The display shows the volume level and bars to indicate the current level. The level of last selected volume before the radio powers down remains the same when the radio powers up.

The main display only shows the icon of secondary feature; the main display does not show the icon of primary feature.

Your radio by default is set to use the primary feature. Short presses of MFK toggle it to work on either the secondary or primary feature.

The secondary feature has an inactivity timer. This timer starts when the secondary feature is left idle. Your radio returns to primary feature when this timer expires.

If the MFK is set to operate only one feature besides On/Off the radio, Volume Change should be the only feature applied to MFK.

indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not the

case.

Man Down condition is determined based upon the radio tilt angle or a combination of radio tilt angle and the lack of radio motion.

Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the Emergency feature if Emergency has been programmed in your radio.

Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call when the radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how the radio is programmed.

The Man Down feature has three phases:

i The radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert

Timer is initiated.

ii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined

in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, the radio alerts the user on the Man Down status with an audible alert tone and Man Down text on the screen. The Post-Alert Timer also initiates at this point.

iii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined

in the Post-Alert Timer field. Once the timer expires, the Emergency alarm is transmitted. The Man Down Clear function is used in this phase to cancel the Man Down condition.

The following scenarios affect the timers:

• Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers;

releasing the PTT button reinitiates the Pre-Alert Timer.

• Pressing other buttons on the radio does not impact these

timers.

• Repositioning the radio exits the Man Down feature, which

stops and resets the timers.

• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button or pressing a Menu

Select button preprogrammed for Clear stops and resets the timers. The timers do not restart until the radio is repositioned.

Note: Emergency must be set up for this feature to operate.

For details on operating the Emergency alerts, please see Emergency Operation on page 65.

If the radio is preprogrammed to horizontal only, it must be worn in a vertical position otherwise the Man Down alert may be inadvertently triggered.

When the radio is programmed with Man Down feature, special care is required when charging the radio with a wall mounted charger. See Handling Your Radio on page 129 for details.

Pre-Alert Timer

This timer sets the amount of time that a Man Down condition

must be present before the radio-user is warned of the Man

Down condition.

When the radio detects that it has returned to the vertical

position or when the radio detects motion, the Pre-Alert timer

stops and is reset.

The Pre-Alert timer reinitiates when the radio detects it is in the

horizontal position or motionless again.

Post-Alert Timer

This timer sets the amount of time the radio needs to remain in the Man Down condition before the Emergency alarm is transmitted. When the Post-Alert Timer is initiated, the radio alerts the user with an audible tone and displays the “Man- Down” text.

See Exiting Man Down Feature on page 71 to exit Man Down feature.



Alerting User When Man Down Feature is

Tri ggered

The Man Down alert tone volume is directly related to the radio’s volume. Ensure that the radio’s volume is loud enough so that the user does not miss the Post-Alert tone.

Note: If the radio is programmed with Silent Emergency, the

radio inhibits the alert tone and visual alert associated with the emergency feature.

Note: If the radio is programmed in Surveillance Mode, the

radio inhibits all tones and lights on the radio including the Man Down tones.



Triggering Emergency

When the user does not clear the Man Down condition and the Post-Alert Timer comes to an end, Emergency Alarm or call is triggered. The radio sends emergency message to units within the same Talkgroup. The radio also sends ID number and GPS coordinates to dispatcher if these features are enabled. User can exit Emergency following the Emergency procedure. See Emergency Operation on page 65 for details.

Note: At this point the Man Down features is complete. Use

normal Emergency procedures to cancel Emergency transmissions.

Automatic Registration Service (ARS)



Selecting or Changing the ARS Mode

This feature provides an automated data application registration for the radio. When you turn on the radio, the device automatically registers with the server.

Data applications within the fixed network can determine the presence of a device on the system and send data to the device. For example: Text Messaging Service (TMS).

The Automatic Registration Service for the radio consists of two (2) modes:

• ARS Server Mode (default mode)

• ARS Non-Server Mode

Note: The default ARS mode can be changed by a qualified

radio technician using the radio’s programming software.

Procedure:

Turn the preprogrammed MFK, once the zone you want is

displayed, to the desired mode.

Follow the procedure below.

1 < or > to Chan.

2 Press the Menu Select button directly below Chan. The

display shows the current channel name.

Accessing the User Login Feature

Logging In as a User

This feature allows you as the user to be associated with the radio. With this association, every data application (Example: Text Messaging Service) takes on a friendly username.

You can still send text messages without logging in as a user. The user login feature only enables the recipient of your message to identify you as the sender by assigning a username to your message.

Note: Valid characters for a username entry are capital

letters (A – Z), small letters (a – z), numbers (0 – 9), symbols (*, -, #, /), and the space character.

The maximum length for a username is eight (8) characters. Usernames are not case sensitive in server mode but are case sensitive in non-server mode.

A predefined username may sometimes be invalid because the programming software that is used to set predefined usernames allows you to set usernames comprising of eight (8) characters or more.
