Important Safety Information

RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios

ATTENTION!

This radio is restricted to Occupational use only.

Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios 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 Solutions-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website:

http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX

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 has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with Motorola Solutions-approved antenna with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.

English

Notice to Users (FCC and Industry Canada)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and Industry Canada's license-exempt RSS's per the following conditions:

•This device may not cause harmful interference.

•This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

•Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly approved by Motorola, could void the authority of the user to operate this equipment.

Visitez le site Web suivant pour obtenir la liste des antennes, des batteries et des autres accessoires approuvés par Motorola :

http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX

Selon la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour

les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu'il ne le faut pour établir la communication.

Cet émetteur radio a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour utilisation avec une antenne approuvée par Motorola offrant le gain maximal autorisé et l'impédance requise pour le type d'antenne indiqué. Il est strictement interdit d'utiliser avec cet appareil tout type d'antenne ne figurant pas dans cette liste et présentant un gain supérieur au maximum indiqué pour le type.

Getting Started

How to Use This Guide

This User Guide covers the basic operation of the APX Portables.

However, your dealer or system administrator may have customized your radio for your specific needs. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Notations Used in This Manual

Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice the use of Warning, Caution, and Note. These notations are used to emphasize that safety hazards exist, and the care that must be taken or observed.

Warning:

An operational procedure, practice, or condition and so on, which may result in injury or death if not carefully observed.

Caution:

An operational procedure, practice, or condition and so on, which may result in

	damage to the equipment if not carefully	Getting
	observed.
	Note:	Started
	An operational procedure, practice, or
	condition and so on, which is essential to
	emphasize.

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 e.g. failure detection, fault recovery, and

15

English

16

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.

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 eliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn on the busy LED when activity is present on the channel. Mixed Vote Scan and Standard Conventional Scan configurations are supported. Priority Operation is also supported.

Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using conventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups can be supported when Vote Scan channels are being used.

Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as Smart PTT prevents users from transmitting while other users are on the channel.

English

Note:

User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.

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).

You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:

•Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional channels?

•Which buttons have been programmed to access other features?

•What optional accessories may suit your needs?

Note:

Specifications may vary for different radio models. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.
