EID provides security encryption and authentication of IV & D data bearer service communication between your 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.

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), to ensure proper top and front display 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 preprogrammed to access other

features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

Monitoring Features

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.

This digital technology quiets the transmission by removing the “ noise” from the signal and allows only the clear voice or data information to be heard.

Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is clear before transmitting.

Fireground (Conventional Only)

The portable Fireground Communications System is designed

for deployment at an incident scene. It consists of five central

components:

• Your APX portable radios

• Incident Management Software

• Command Terminal

• Radio Frequency (RF) Modem

• Portable Repeater (Optional)

These components provide on-scene and inbuilding radio

coverage, and enhanced personnel accountability and

monitoring.

The radio helps to indicate your presence on the scene if it is in

the range of the Incident Commander’s command terminal.

Each Fireground Communication System radio automatically

reports your radio’s ID on the commander’s mobile command

terminal. Your name, riding position and sector are all can be

configured to be seen at the Commander’s command terminal.

If you have a critical situation, you can press the Emergency

button which activates an alarm on the Incident Management

Man Down

Man Down condition is determined based upon the radio tilt angle or a combination of radio tilt angle and the lack of radio motion.

Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the Emergency feature if Emergency has been programmed in your radio.

Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call when the radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how the radio is programmed. The radio must stay in this condition for a preprogrammed amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated.

Note: It is recommended that an Emergency button is

preprogrammed in order to allow the user to exit the emergency condition.

The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to the user. After a Man Down condition has been detected, the user can press a preprogrammed Clear button or preprogrammed Menu Select button to cancel the Man Down condition. The radio remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency condition until the radio is moved out of the Man Down state, at which point Man Down functionality resumes.

Advanced Features

The Man Down feature has three phases:

i The radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert

Timer is initiated.

ii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined

in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, the radio alerts the user on the Man Down status with an audible alert tone and Man Down text on the screen. The Post-Alert Timer also initiates at this point.

iii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined

in the Post-Alert Timer field. Once the timer expires, the Emergency alarm is transmitted. The Man Down Clear function is used in this phase to cancel the Man Down condition.

The following scenarios affect the timers:

• Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers;

releasing the PTT button reinitiates the Pre-Alert Timer.

• Pressing other buttons on the radio does not impact these

timers.

• Repositioning the radio exits the Man Down feature, which

stops and resets the timers.

• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button or pressing a Menu

Select button preprogrammed for Clear stops and resets the timers. The timers do not restart until the radio is repositioned.

Note: Emergency must be set up for this feature to operate.

If the radio is preprogrammed to horizontal only, it must be worn in a vertical position otherwise the Man Down alert may be inadvertently triggered.

When the radio is programmed with Man Down feature, special care is required when charging the radio with a wall mounted charger. See Handling Your Radio on page 114 for details.

Pre-Alert Timer

This timer sets the amount of time that a Man Down condition

must be present before the radio-user is warned of the Man

Down condition.

When the radio detects that it has returned to the vertical

position or when the radio detects motion, the Pre-Alert timer

stops and is reset.

The Pre-Alert timer reinitiates when the radio detects it is in the

horizontal position or motionless again.

Requesting an Over-the-Air Rekey (ASTRO Only)

This feature, also known as OTAR, allows the dispatcher to reprogram the encryption keys in the radio remotely. The dispatcher performs the rekey operation upon receiving a rekey request from the user.

Procedure:

1 < or > to Reky.

2 Press the Menu Select button directly below Reky.

3 Press the PTT button to send the rekey request.

Press the PTT button again, or the Home or Emergency button, to exit the feature and transmit in normal mode.

4 If the rekey operation fails, you hear a bad-key tone and the

display shows Rekey fail.

Note: The rekey operation failure indicates that your radio

does not contain the Unique Shadow Key (USK). This key must be loaded into the radio with the key-variable loader (KVL) before the rekey request can be sent.

Refer to your local key management supervisor for more information.

MDC Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) Page

This feature allows to view or define MDC Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) features.It is applied only when operating in secure encrypted mode and only for conventional communications. In additional to Rekey Requests, OTAR transmissions include Delayed Acknowledgements, and Powerup Acknowledgements.

Some of the options selected may also need to be set up at the Key Management Controller (KMC) site to work properly.

Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified

radio technician. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Infinite UKEK Retention

This feature enables Unique Key Encryption Key (UKEK) to be permanently stored in the radio even when all of the encryption keys is erased. Without this UKEK key, the radio could not be over the air rekeyed.

Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified

radio technician. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Hear Clear

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

The Global Positioning System (GPS)

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 or MGRS format per request from customer. 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 coordinates, 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:

• Underground locations

• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

• Under any other metal or concrete roof 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.
