Important Safety InformationEnglishviiImportant Safety InformationRF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way RadiosATTENTION! This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Portable Two-Way Radios which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and other accessories, visit the following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the Motorola-approved antenna types with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.APX_3000_M1.book Page vii Tuesday, June 4, 2013 5:17 PM

Informations importantes sur la sécuritéixFrançais CanadienInformations importantes sur la sécuritéExposition aux radiofréquences et sécurité du produit pour radios bidirectionnelles portativesATTENTION! Cette radio ne doit être utilisée qu'à des fins professionnelles. Avant d'utiliser la radio, lisez le guide Exposition aux radiofréquences et sécurité du produit pour radios bidirectionnelles portatives, qui contient d'importantes instructions de fonctionnement pour une utilisation sécuritaire et des informations sur l'exposition aux fréquences radioélectriques afin d'assurer la conformité aux normes et règlements applicables. Pour obtenir une liste d'antennes et d'autres accessoires approuvés par Motorola, consultez le site Web: http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX Selon la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour lesautres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu'il ne le faut pour établir la communication.Le présent émetteur a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne agréés par Motorola et ayant un gain admissible maximal ainsi que l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué. Les types d'antenne non inclus, dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.APX_3000_M1.book Page ix Tuesday, June 4, 2013 5:17 PM

Getting StartedEnglish2Additional Performance EnhancementThe following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of your radios.Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)DSR ensures your 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 you who is in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV & D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.CrossTalk PreventionThis 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 your 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 your radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.SecureNetSecureNet allows you to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC OTAR feature will allow you to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.APX_3000_M1.book Page 2 Tuesday, June 4, 2013 5:17 PM

Preparing Your Radio for UseEnglish3What Your Dealer/System AdministratorCan Tell YouCheck with your dealer or system administrator for the correct radio settings, if your radio is to be operated in extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C), to ensure proper 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?Preparing Your Radio for UseAPX 3000 is a small body radio meant to work together with other light weight accessories such as Mission Critical Wireless Remote Control Unit (RCU), headset and pod in order to interact with you efficiently. IMPORTANT!1Your radio has a Voice Announcement feature (programmable) which provides audible status updates of your radio function through the speaker microphone, earpiece or headset. This helps to confirm the changes you have made when interacting with your radio in covert. See Voice Announcement† on page 62 to learn how this feature works. 2You must connect a GCAI Display Remote Speaker Microphone (DRSM) to see the radio status displayed in words or icons. Most of these radio statuses are mentioned in the content across this manual.APX_3000_M1.book Page 3 Tuesday, June 4, 2013 5:17 PM
