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 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.

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 for the correct radio settings, if the radio is to be operated in extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C), 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?

Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios often assume that the lack of static on a digital channel is an indication that the radio is not working properly. This is not the case.
This digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the “ noise” from the signal and allows only the clear voice or data information to be heard.
Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is clear before transmitting.

Using the Dynamic Regrouping Feature (Trunking
Only)
This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign
selected radios to a particular channel where they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used
during special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio
technician.
You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled
until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
Note: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been
reserved by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped mode for other users, you will hear an invalid tone.
Procedure:
1 When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically
switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. You hear a “gurgle” tone and the display shows the dynamically regrouped channel’s name.
2 Press the PTT button to talk. Release PTT button to listen.
When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio
automatically returns to the zone and channel that you were
using before the radio was dynamically regrouped.

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.

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 62 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

Hear Clear

The Global Positioning System (GPS)

There are two components of Hear Clear.
1 Companding:
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.
2 Random 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.
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 Feature

The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting
satellites, to establish the location coordinates, 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:
• Underground locations
Advanced Features
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
79
English
Page 96
• 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
radio
Even 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.
Advanced Features

Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes, 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.
