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.

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 Notice. 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.
NOTICE:
An operational procedure, practice, or condition and
so on, which is essential to emphasize.
The following special notations identify certain items.

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 23
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 such as 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.
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
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.
24 Send Feedback
English
Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as Smart
PTT prevents users from transmitting while other users are
on the channel.
NOTICE:
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?
NOTICE:
Specifications may vary for different radio models.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.

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 Solutions-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 Solutions-authorized
batteries and chargers available for use with your radio,
see Accessories on page 151.
NOTICE:
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 Solutions-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 battery if the radio is using
an IMPRES battery. See IMPRES Battery Annunciator on
page 142 for more information.
NOTICE:
Radio supports revision B and above for
PMNN4491 battery. Check with your dealer or
system administrator for more information.
