Additional Performance Enhancement



Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)

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

Getting Started

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.

Man Down

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 radio must stay in this condition for a preprogrammed amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated.

Note: It is recommended that an Emergency button is

preprogrammed in order to allow the user to exit the emergency condition.

The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to the user. After a Man Down condition has been detected, the user can press a preprogrammed Clear button or preprogrammed Menu Select button to cancel the Man Down condition. The radio remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency condition until the radio is moved out of the Man Down state, at

This feature allows you to see the radio ID (number) of the radio from whom you are currently receivi n g a tra n s mi ssi on . Th i s ID, consisting up to a maximum of eight characters, can be viewed by both the receiving radio and the dispatcher.

Y our 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 radio users 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.

Three variations of smart PTT are available:

Transmit Inhibit

on Busy Channel

with Carrier

Transmit Inhibit

on Busy Channel

with Wrong

Squelch Code

Quick-Key

Override

You cannot transmit if any traffic is detected on the channel.

You 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.

This feature can work in conjunction with either of the two above variations. You can override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying the radio. In other words, two PTT button presses within the preprogrammed time limit.

Voice Announcement

This feature enables the radio to audibly indicate the current feature mode, Zone or Channel the user has just assigned. This audio indicator can be customized per customer requirements. This is typically useful when the user is 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 a radio shall be no more than 1000 seconds.

Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified

radio technician.

The features which Voice Announcement supports are:

• Zone

• Channel

• Scan

• PL Disabled

• Talkaround/Direct

• Tx Inhibit

Note: Voice announcements support certain number of zone-

channel, but not all. Seek advice from your dealer or qualified technician for

the best selections for this feature.

The two options of priority for the Voice Announcement available are:

• High – enables the voice of the feature to announce even

when the radio is receiving calls.

• Low – disables the voice of the feature from announcing

when the radio is receiving calls.
