Important Safety Information
RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide
for Portable Two-Way Radios
ATTENTION!
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.

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 les
autres 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.

Additional Performance Enhancement
The 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 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 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.
SecureNet
SecureNet 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.

What Your Dealer/System Administrator
Can Tell You
Check 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 Use
APX 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.
