Important Safety Information

RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles, Vessels or as Fixed Site Control Stations

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.

Important Safety Information

ATTENTION!

This radio is restricted to Occupational use only.

Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles, Vessels or as Fixed Site Control Station 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-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website:

http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX

This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the Motorola-approved antenna types with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

Note: Setting up the radio as an RF Modem takes complete

control of the radio. In this mode, the radio no longer responds to button and PTT presses nor will it unmute to voice activity. This mode is designed to receive and pass specifically formatted over the air data to a tethered computer with RF modem enabled applications. This mode can only be exit by reprogramming the radio with Customer Programming Software (CPS) to not operate in RF modem mode and cycling power.

English

Software Version

All the features described in the following sections are

supported by the radio's software version R08.05.00 or later.

Selon la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu'il ne le faut pour établir la communication.

Le présent émetteur a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne agréés par Motorola et ayant un gain admissible maximal ainsi que l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué. Les types d'antenne non inclus, dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.

Remarque: Régler la radio en tant que modem RF prend le

contrôle complet de la radio. Dans ce mode, la radio ne répond plus aux pressions des boutons de commande et PTT, et ne reçoit aucun signal vocal. Ce mode est conçu pour recevoir et transmettre des données spécifiquement formatées pour la liaison radio avec un ordinateur attaché doté d'applications compatibles avec le modem RF. Ce mode ne peut être désactivé qu'en reprogrammant la radio avec un logiciel CPS (programmation

client) afin qu'elle ne fonctionne plus en mode modem RF et en la redémarrant.

Example Description



Home button

PHONE

Buttons and keys are shown in bold print or as an icon.

Menu entries are shown similar to the way they appear on the radio’s display.

This means “Press the right side of the 4-way Navigation button.” (Using keypad mic)

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.

Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)

English

Additional Performance Enhancement

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

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.

P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS)

Motorola Solutions offers an MSI Certified APX compatible, 3rd Party, P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS) that provides low cost portable radio coverage in areas where only mobile radio coverage is available and portable radio coverage is either intermittent or non-existent.

What Your Dealer/System Administrator

Can Tell You

You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:

• Is your radio preprogrammed with any preset conventional

channels?

• Which buttons have been programmed to access other

features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?
