Getting Started

Note: An operational procedure, practice, or condition

and so on, which is essential to emphasize.

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 observed.

The following special notations identify certain items.

Example Description

Home button

Phon

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 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

English

installation to improve data channel efficiency and

Getting Started

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 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 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)

SecureNet

SecureNet allows user to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC Over-theAir 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.

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

English

the radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.

Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using conventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups

Getting Started

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.

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), to ensure proper top and front display operation.

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?

English

Preparing Your Radio for Use

This section provides simple instructions to prepare your radio for use.

Charging the Battery

Warning: To avoid a possible explosion:

• Do not replace the battery in any area labeled hazardous atmosphere.

• Do not discard batteries in a fire.

Attaching the Battery

If your radio is preprogrammed with volatile-key retention, the encryption keys are retained for approximately 30 seconds after battery removal. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

You can view the status of the IMPRES™ battery if the radio is using an IMPRES battery. See IMPRES

Battery Annunciator on page 141 for more

information.

The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery, charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure optimum capacity and performance. For a list of Motorola-authorized batteries and chargers available for use with your radio, see Accessories on page

150.

Note: When charging a battery attached to a radio, turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

To charge the battery, place the battery (with or without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger. The LED on the charger indicates the charging

English

progress; see the charger user guide.

1 Slide the battery into the radio frame until the side

latches click into place.

English

3 To remove the antenna, turn the antenna

Preparing Your Radio for Use

counterclockwise.

Note: When removing the antenna, ensure that the radio is turned off.

Removing and Attaching the Accessory Connector Cover

The accessory connector is located on the antenna side of the radio. It is used to connect accessories to the radio.

English

Note: To prevent damage to the connector, shield it with the connector cover when not in use.

1 To remove the accessory connector cover, rotate

the thumbscrew counterclockwise until it disengages from the radio.

Note: If the thumbscrew is too tight, use an Allen wrench at to loosen it first.

2 Rotate and lift the connector cover to disengage it

from the radio.

Preparing Your Radio for Use

3 To attach the accessory connector cover, insert

the hooked end of the cover into the slot above the connector.

4 Press downward on the cover’s top to seat it in the

slot.

5 Once in place, tighten by rotating the thumbscrew

clockwise by hand.

Using the Carry Holder

1 Position the radio within the carry holder with the

main speaker facing outward.

2 Slide the radio down into the carry holder until it

clicks in place.

English

3 To remove the radio from the carry holder, place
