Additional Performance Enhancement
The following are some of the latest creations designed to
enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX 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.

selected radios to a single special channel so they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used
during special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio
technician.
You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled
until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
Note: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been
reserved by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped
mode for other users, an invalid tone sounds.

1When your radio is dynamically regrouped, it automatically
switches to the dynamically regrouped channel. A “gurgle”
tone sounds and the display shows the dynamically
regrouped channel’s name.
2Press the PTT button to talk. Release PTT button to listen.
When the dispatcher cancels dynamic regrouping, the radio
automatically returns to the zone and channel that you were
using before the radio was dynamically regrouped.

This feature lets you notify the dispatcher that you want a new
dynamic regrouping assignment.
Procedure:
1Press the preprogrammed Reprogram Request button to
send reprogram request to the dispatcher.
2The display alternates between RPGM and PLS WAIT.
3If you hear five beeps, the dispatcher has acknowledged the
reprogram request. The display shows ACK RCVD and the
radio returns to the Home screen.
OR
If the dispatcher does not acknowledge the reprogram
request within six seconds, a low-pitched alert tone sounds
and the display shows NO ACK. The radio returns to the
Home screen.
Advanced Features

Classifying Regrouped Radios
The dispatcher can classify regrouped radios into either of two
categories: Select Enabled or Select Disabled.
•Select-enabled radios are free to change to any available
channel, including the dynamic-regrouping channel, once the
user has selected the dynamic-regrouping position.
•Select-disabled radios cannot change channels while
dynamically regrouped. The dispatcher has forced the radio
to remain on the dynamic-regrouping channel.
The Scan or Private Call feature cannot be selected while your
radio is Select Disabled.
Scan Lists
Scan lists are created and assigned to individual channels/
groups. Your radio scans for voice activity by cycling through
the channel/group sequence specified in the scan list for the
current channel/group.
Your radio supports different types of Scan Lists:
•Trunking Priority Monitor Scan List

•Avoid subjecting the radio to an excess of liquids. Do not
submerge the radio unless it is a ruggedized, APX 6000 R
model.
•(For APX 6000 R Radios Only)
Elastomer technology materials used for seals
in rugged portable radios can age with time and
environmental exposure. Therefore, Motorola
recommends that rugged radios be checked
annually as a preventive measure in order to
assure the watertight integrity of the radio.
Motorola details the disassembly, test, and
reassembly procedures along with necessary
test equipment needed to inspect, maintain and
troubleshoot radio seals in the radio’s service
manual.
•If the radio battery contact area has been
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.
!
Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits
may permanently damage the radio housing.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent
solution.
