This means “Press the right side of the 4-way Navigation button.”

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

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.

Repeater or Direct Operation

Monitoring Features

The REPEATER operation increases the radio’s range 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.

Procedure: Press the preprogrammed Repeater/Direct switch to toggle between talkaround and repeater modes. OR Follow the procedure below.

1 > or < to DIR. 2 Press the Menu Select button directly below DIR. 3 The display shows REPEATER MODE if the radio is currently

in Repeater mode.

The display shows DIRECT MODE and the T alkaround icon if the radio is currently in Direct mode (during conventional operation only).

You can repeat step 2 to toggle between the two modes. Once in Direct Mode, press PTT button to start conversation with the radios nearby.

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 allowing only the clear voice or data

information to be heard.

Monitor a channel to ensure the channel is clear before

transmitting.

Using the Multikey Feature

This feature allows the radio to be equipped with different encryption keys and supports the DES-OFB algorithm.

There are two types of multikey:

• Conventional Multikey – The encryption keys can be tied

(strapped), on a one-per-channel basis, through Customer Programming Software. In addition, you can have operatorselectable keys, operator-selectable keysets, and operatorselectable key erasure. If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption keys are strapped to the talkgroups.

• Trunked Multikey – If you use your radio for both

conventional and trunked applications, you have to strap your encryption keys for trunking on a per-talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In addition, you may strap a different key to other features, such as dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or emergency talkgroup. You can have operatorselectable key erasure.

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.

Advanced Features

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 co-ordinates, 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:

• In underground locations

• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

English

• Under any other metal or concret e ro of 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.



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 th e open . The GPS feature works best where there is

nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.
