CrossTalk Prevention

What Your Dealer/System Administrator

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.

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?

Emergency, the display shows No emergency, and you hear an invalid tone until you exit the Emergency state or change to a channel preprogrammed for Emergency.

Using the Emergency Keep-Alive Feature

This feature, when enabled, prevents the radio from being turned off via the MFK when the radio is in the Emergency state.

Note: The radio only exits the Emergency state using one of

the ways mentioned in the previous sections. See Sending an Emergency Alarm on page 66,

Sending an Emergency Call (Trunking Only) on page 66, Sending an Emergency Alarm with

Emergency Call on page 67, or Sending a Silent Emergency Alarm on page 67.

Advanced Features

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 which point Man Down functionality resumes.

English

Page 85

The Man Down feature has three phases:

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

Timer is initiated.

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.

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.

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 130 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.

English

Page 86

Post-Alert Timer

Triggering Emergency

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 ManDown text.

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

Alerting User When Man Down Feature is

Triggered

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.

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.
