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-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-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

Software Version

All the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's software version R13.00.00 or later.

See Accessing the Radio Information on page 142 to determine your radio software version.

Check with your dealer or system administrator for more details of all the features supported.

Notice to Users (FCC and Industry Canada)

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules and RSS 210 of the Industry Canada rules per the following conditions:

•This device may not cause harmful interference.

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.

	Note: An operational procedure, practice, or condition		Getting
	and so on, which is essential to emphasize.
	The following special notations identify certain items.

Additional Performance Enhancement

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

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 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)

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

English

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?

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.

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 progress; see the charger user guide.

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.

1Slide the battery into the radio frame until the side latches click into place.
