Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care assures efficient operation
and long life for the product.
The following are recommendations and warnings when
using the radio
19
A
English
CAUTION:
• Your radio has a vent port that allows for
pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke
this vent with any objects, such as fingernails,
needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. This could
create leak paths into the radio and the radio’s
submergibility will be lost.
• Your radio is designed to be submerged to a
maximum depth of 2 meters, with a maximum
submersion time of 4 hours. Exceeding either
maximum limit may result in damage to the
radio.
• Elastomer seals used in portable radios can age
with time and environmental exposure.
Therefore, Motorola Solutions recommends that
radios be checked annually as a preventive
measure in order to assure the waterseal
integrity of the radio. Motorola Solutions details
the disassembly, test, and reassembly
procedures along with necessary test equipment
in the radio service manual.
If the radio battery contact recess is exposed to
•
water without the battery attached, dry and clean
the radio battery contacts before attaching a
battery to the radio. Turn the radio over with the
battery contact recess facing down and shake
the radio so any trapped water can escape. The
battery contacts must be dry before attaching a
battery or a short circuit of the contacts could
occur.
• If the radio side accessory connector contacts
are exposed to water without an accessory or
accessory connector cover attached, clean and
dry this area to prevent foreign material build up
20
English
or contact corrosion. These can prevent reliable
accessory interconnect to the radio.
• Accessory connector cover must be attached to
the radio side accessory connector if an
accessory is not attached to the radio.
If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high
•
force water spray, such as from a hose, remove
the side accessory connector or accessory
connector cover immediately and check to make
sure no water was forced into the accessory
connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area
and re-attach the accessory or accessory
connector cover if leakage occurs.
• If the radio is exposed to a corrosive
environment, such as salt water or corrosive
gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio
immediately to prevent damage to radio
materials, especially plated surfaces. Refer to
Cleaning Your Radio on page 21 for detailed
instructions. Remove the battery and the
antenna before cleaning if exposed to corrosive
environments.
• 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.
• Underwriter Laboratory (UL) certified radios
should only be opened and serviced by UL
approved service centers. Opening or repairing
at unauthorized locations will invalidate the
radio’s hazardous location rating.
• Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio
unnecessarily.
• When charging the radio using a wall mounted
charger, the radio must be turned off. Otherwise,
the Man Down Alert and Emergency may be
accidentally triggered.
Cleaning Your Radio
CAUTION:
Do not use solvents or disinfectants to clean your
radio as these chemicals may permanently damage
the radio housing, seals, and adhesives.
21
English
To clean the external surfaces of your radio, follow the
procedure described next.
1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing
detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic,
shortbristled brush, making sure that excess
detergent does not get entrapped near the
connectors, controls, or crevices. Rinse and then dry
the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to
remove dirt or grease.
Radio Service and Repair
Proper repair and maintenance procedures will assure
efficient operation and long life for this product. A Motorola
Solutions maintenance agreement will provide expert
service to keep this and all other communication equipment
in perfect operating condition.
A nationwide service organization is provided by Motorola
Solutions to support maintenance services. Through its
maintenance and installation program, Motorola Solutions
makes available the finest service to those desiring reliable,
continuous communications on a contract basis.
For a contract service agreement, please contact your
nearest Motorola Solutions service or sales representative,
or an authorized Motorola Solutions dealer.
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.
22
English
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 such as 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 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.
P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS)
Motorola Solutions offers an MSI Certified APX compatible,
3rd Party, P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS)
that provides low cost portable radio coverage in areas
where only mobile radio coverage is available and portable
radio coverage is either intermittent or non-existent.
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
23
English
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.
NOTICE:
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?
NOTICE:
Specifications may vary for different radio models.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for
more information.
