Additional Performance Enhancement

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

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 OTAR feature will allow users to perform OTAR
activities on an MDC channel.

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

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

submerged in water, dry and clean the radio
battery contacts before attaching a battery to the
radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit
the radio.

• If the radio has been submerged in water, shake

the radio well so that any water that may be
trapped inside the speaker grille and
microphone port can be removed. Otherwise,
the water will decrease the audio quality of the
radio.

• Do not disassemble the radio. This could

damage radio seals and result in leak paths into
the radio. Any radio maintenance should be
performed only by a qualified radio technician.
