Any modification to this device, not expressly authorized by
Motorola Solutions, may void the user’s authority to operate
this device.
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 is approved by Industry Canada to

Radio Maintenance
This chapter covers the radio and battery care.
Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care assures efficient operation
and long life for the product.
The following are recommendations and warnings when
using the radio.
CAUTION:
• Your radio casting has a vent port that allows for
pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke
this vent with any objects, such as needles,
tweezers, or screwdrivers.This could create leak
paths into the radio and the radio submergibility
will be lost.
• Your radio is designed to be submerged to a
maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum
submersion time of 2 hours. Exceeding either
maximum limit may result in damage to the
radio.
• Elastomer seals used in portable radios can age
with time and environmental exposure.
Therefore, Motorola Solutions recommends that
radios be checked annually as a preventive
measure in order to assure the waterseal
integrity of the radio. Motorola Solutions details
the disassembly, test, and reassembly
procedures along with necessary test equipment
in the Service Manual.
• If the radio battery contact is exposed to water
without the battery attached, dry and clean the
radio battery contacts before attaching a battery
to the radio. Turn the radio over with the battery
21
English
contact facing down and shake the radio so any
trapped water can escape. The battery contacts
must be dry before attaching a battery or a short
circuit of the contacts could occur.
• Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of
liquids.
• Accessory connector cover must be attached to
the radio side accessory connector if an
accessory is not attached to the radio.
• If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high
force water spray, such as from a hose, remove
the side accessory connector or accessory
connector cover immediately and check to make
sure no water was forced into the accessory
connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area
and re-attach the accessory or accessory
connector cover if leakage occurs.
• If the radio is exposed to a corrosive
environment, such as salt water or corrosive
gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio
immediately to prevent damage to radio
materials, especially plated surfaces. Refer to
Cleaning Your Radio for detailed instructions.
Remove the battery and the antenna before
cleaning.
• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake
the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone
port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will
decrease the audio quality of the radio.
• Do not disassemble the radio. This could
damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.
• Underwriter Laboratory (UL) certified radios
should only be opened and serviced by UL
approved service centers. Opening or repairing
at unauthorized locations will invalidate the
radio’s hazardous location rating.
• Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio
unnecessarily.
The following are suggestions to assist you in
troubleshooting possible operating problems.
22
English
CAUTION:
The cables that connect to the rear of the radio
could have live voltage on some of their pins. Do not
remove or reconnect these cables. Only a qualified
radio technician should perform this task. Service
performed by unauthorized personnel may cause
the radio to transmit an emergency alarm even if the
unit is turned off.
If your radio is locked up or the display shows FAIL 01/09,
turn the radio off and then back on. If this does not correct
the condition, take the radio to a qualified radio technician
for service.
If radio operation is intermittent, check with other persons
using the system for similar problems before taking the
radio in for service. Similar problems indicate a system
malfunction rather than a radio failure.
If symptoms persist or, if your unit exhibits other problems,
contact a qualified radio technician.
Cleaning the External Surface of the Radio
CAUTION:
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may
permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in detergent solution.
1 Combine one teaspoon of mild diswashing detergent
to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic,
short-bristled brush, making sure excess detergent
does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls
or crevices.
3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
23
English
Additional Performance Enhancement
The following performance enhancements are some of the
latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality,
and efficiency of the radios.
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.
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. The MDC Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) feature
will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC
channel.
24
English
Over-the-Air Rekeying
The Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) feature allows the
dispatcher to remotely reprogram encryption keys in the
radio after a rekey request.
Single-system OTAR
Single-system OTAR is supported by a single Key
Management Facility (KMF). If the radio moves from
one secure system to another, it must be
reprogrammed to the new system.
Multi-system OTAR
Multi-system OTAR is supported by multiple KMFs.
After an initial programming, the radio is able to
seamlessly move to a secure system associated to a
newly selected channel.
NOTICE:
This feature must be preprogrammed by a
qualified radio technician. Check with your
dealer or system administrator for more
information.
P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS)
Motorola Solutions offers an MSI Certified APX compatible,
third 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.
NOTICE:
Portable subscriber units enabled in the system for
Radio Authentication shall be able to authenticate
regardless of whether they are communicating
directly on the system or through a DVRS.
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
