Radio Maintenance

This chapter covers the radio and battery care.

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

CAUTION:

•Your radio casting has a vent port that allows for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with any objects, such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers.This could create leak paths into the radio and the radio submergibility will be lost.

•(For APX 6000/APX 6000Li R Radios Only) Your radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum submersion time of 2 hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio.

•(For APX 6000/APX 6000Li R Radios Only) 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.

•Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not submerge the radio unless it is ruggedized.(APX 6000/APX 6000Li R model)

•Accessory connector cover must be attached to the radio side accessory connector if an accessory is not attached to the radio.

English

•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 22 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

English

the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.

•CAUTION:

Do not use the radio without an accessory connector or a dust cover in place as contamination can build up on the contacts.

•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.

English

2Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices.

3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Battery Care

This chapter provides information on the battery charge status, battery recycling and disposal.

Battery Charge Status

Your radio can indicate the battery’s charge status through:

•the LED and sounds.

•the fuel gauge icon on the display.

You can also check the battery charge status using the menu entry. See IMPRES Battery Annunciator on page 176 for more information.

LED and Sounds

When your battery is low:

English

•the LED blinks red when the PTT button is pressed.

•you hear a low-battery “chirp” (short, high-pitched tone).

Fuel Gauge Icons

A blinking fuel gauge icon () is displayed only when the battery voltage drops to low level. In this case, replace the battery with a fully charged one.

Gauge			Battery Charge
			76% to 100% full 1

English

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.

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.

Additional Performance

Enhancement

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

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.

English

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 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.
