Additional Performance Enhancement

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

Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)

DSR ensures your 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 you who is 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 scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in your 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 your radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.

SecureNet

SecureNet allows you to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC OTAR feature will allow you to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.

LED Indicators in Surveillance Mode†

For covert operation, the LED can be preprogrammed to be turned off at specific zone or channel. During operation in these zone or channel the LED blinking is not seen, instead Voice Announcement can be used to hear and confirm the operation status.

Hence, It is recommended to duplicate the channel

programming into a separate zone and have the associated

Voice Announcement tied to zone to help indicate the LED on/

off state, for example “Light Off” “Zone 1”. Using zone control in

this case eases going into and out of the zone or channel

Man Down†‡

Man Down condition is determined based upon your 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 your radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and your radio motion is below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how your radio is programmed. Your 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 you to exit the emergency condition.

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

The Man Down feature has three phases:

i Your 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, your radio alerts you 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 your radio does not impact these

timers.

• Repositioning your radio exits the Man Down feature, which

stops and resets the timers.

• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button to stops and resets

the timers. The timers do not restart until your radio is repositioned.

Managing Encryption

Loading an Encryption Key†

Note: Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for

equipment connections and setup.

Procedure:

1 Attach the KVL to your radio.

2 All other radio functions are locked out, except for power

down, backlight, and volume.

3 Select the required keys and press the Menu Select button

directly below LOAD on the KVL. This loads the encryption keys into your radio.

4 When the key has been loaded successfully, your radio

sounds a short tone for single-key radios.

When the key has been loaded successfully, your radio sounds an alternating tone for multikey radios.

5 The KVL prompts that keyload is successful.

Using the Multikey Feature

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

There are two types:

• Conventional Multikey – The encryption keys can be tied

(strapped), on a one-per-channel basis, through Customer Programming Software. If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption keys are strapped to the talkgroups.

• Trunked Multikey – If the radio is used for both conventional

and trunked applications, strap the encryption keys for trunking on a per-talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In addition, a different key may be strapped to other features, such as dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or emergency talkgroup.

Troubleshooting

Scenario Solution

LED indicator on the radio is not functioning during transmit and receive or any other operation

The radio might be preprogrammed in lights off mode in the current channel. For covert operation, the LEDs can be preprogrammed to turn off with specific zones or channels. It is hence recommended to add key words like Lights off or Lights on to the zone or channel Voice Announcements.

No LED feedback upon turning on your radio via on/ off switch

First, check your battery by docking it into the charger. If the battery is good, it might be the reason that the radio was turned off at a preprogrammed zone/channel which the LED lights would not be shown for covert operation. Change to a zone/ channel that LED lights are enabled. Meanwhile, ensure you connect an audio accessory to hear the audio alerts or transmission.

Cannot connect with the Bluetooth accessory

Check the accessory battery and ensure the battery is still good. Also check the accessory device is in the pairing mode.

Note: No LED indication occurs when your radio receives a

clear (non-secured) transmission in trunking Mode.
