Before using this product, read the operating

a u t i o

This radio is restricted to occupational use only to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements.

Before using this product, read the guide enclosed with your radio 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

instructions for safe usage contained in the Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio.

ATTENTION!

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.

Software Version

All the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's software version R05.00.00 or later.

CrossTalk Prevention

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.”

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.

English

What Your Dealer/System Administrator

Draft 1c

Can Tell You

Check with your dealer or system administrator, if the radio is to be operated in extremely cold temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C), for the correct radio settings to ensure proper 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 programmed to access other

features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

display goes blank, or if the unit appears to be locked up, see Helpful Tips on page 103 for more information.

English

2 The display shows Update Done Please Reset upon

completion.

The display shows Update Failed Please Reset when it fails to update.

3 Press the Power On/Off Button to reset. The radio runs the

usual power up operation if the software updates are complete.

• Press – Pressing and releasing rapidly.

• Long press – Pressing and holding for the programmed

duration (between 0.25 seconds and 3.75 seconds).

• Hold down – Keeping the button pressed.
