Important Safety Information

RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before
using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.
For a list of Motorola Solutions-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Getting Started

How to Use This Guide

This User Guide covers the basic operation of the APX Portables.
However, your dealer or system administrator may have customized your radio for your specific needs. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Notations Used in This Manual

Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the use of Warning, Caution, and Note. These notations are used to emphasize that safety hazards exist, and the care that must be taken or observed.
WARNING:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition and so on, which may result in injury or death if not carefully observed.
CAUTION:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition and so on, which may result in damage to the equipment if not carefully observed.
NOTE:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition and so on, which is essential to emphasize.
The following special notations identify certain items.
Example Description
Home button
or
Phon
Buttons and keys are shown in bold print or as an icon.
Menu entries are shown similar to the way they appear on the display of the radio.
This means “Press the right side of the 4-Way Navigation Button”.

Additional Performance Enhancement

The following performance enhancements are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of the radios.
Send Feedback 29
English

ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data

ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle different message sizes and variable update rates from different applications of the radio. Add Enhanced Data to the Integrated Data system with a software installation to improve data channel efficiency and enable denser network traffic.

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 scenarios from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the internal SSI clock rate of the radio. This subsequently reduces the possibility 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.

Conventional Talkgroup and Radio Scan Enhancements

A few enhancements have been made to the Conventional Talkgroup at the system. These enhancements improve the Scan feature operation significantly when multiple agencies are using a single conventional radio frequency channel. These enhancements allow users to use Selective Squelch to operate on only the subset of talkgroups that are relevant to the users rather than all talkgroups on the channel. These Scan improvements have been made to eliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn on the busy LED when activity is present on the channel. Mixed Vote Scan and Standard Conventional Scan
30 Send Feedback
English
configurations are supported. Priority Operation is also supported.
Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using conventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups can be supported when Vote Scan channels are being used.
Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as Smart PTT prevents users from transmitting while other users are on the channel.
NOTE:
User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.

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).
You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:
• Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional channels?
• Which buttons have been programmed to access other features?
• What optional accessories may suit your needs?
NOTE:
Specifications may vary for different radio models. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Preparing Your Radio for Use

This section provides simple instructions to prepare your radio for use.

Charging the Battery

WARNING:
To avoid a possible explosion:
• Do not replace the battery in any area labeled hazardous atmosphere.
• Do not discard batteries in a fire.
The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery, charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure optimum capacity and performance. For a list of Motorola-authorized batteries and chargers available for use with your radio, see Accessories
on page 205.
NOTE:
When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.
To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.
The LED on the charger indicates the charging progress; see the charger user guide.

Attaching the Battery

You can view the status of the IMPRES ™ battery if the radio is using an IMPRES battery. See IMPRES Battery
Annunciator on page 195 for more information.

Switching Between Repeater or Direct Operation Button

The Repeater Operation increases the radio coverage area by connecting with other radios through a repeater. The transmit and receive frequencies are different.
The Direct or “talkaround operation” allows you to bypass the repeater and connect directly to another radio. The transmit and receive frequencies are the same.
Perform one of the following actions:

The display shows Repeater mode if the radio is currently in Repeater mode. The display shows Direct mode and the Talkaround icon if the radio is currently in Direct mode (during conventional operation only).

Monitor Feature

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.
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.

Select Enabled
Select-enabled radios are free to change to any available channel, including the dynamic-regrouping channel, once the user has selected the dynamic­regrouping position.
Select Disabled
Select-disabled radios cannot change channels while dynamically regrouped. The dispatcher has forced the radio to remain on the dynamic-regrouping channel.
The Scan or Private Call feature cannot be selected while your radio is Select Disabled.

Dynamic Zone Programming (DZP)

Your radio must be preprogrammed to allow you to use this feature. This feature works on the condition at least one zone in the radio must be a non­dynamic zone.
This feature provides one or more Dynamic Zones to store frequently used channels be it conventional or trunking.
