The following special notations identify certain items:

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.

Example Description

Home button

Buttons and keys are shown in bold print or as an icon.

Phone

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”.

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.

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

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