Additional Performance Enhancement
The following are some of the latest creations designed to
enhance the security, quality and efficiency of your radio.
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
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 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 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.
What Your Dealer/System Administrator
Can Tell You
Check with your dealer or system administrator, if the radio is to
be operated in extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more
than +60 °C), for the correct radio settings to ensure proper top
and front display 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?

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.
Contacts
This feature provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias (name) or ID (number) that

the Man Down condition before the Emergency alarm is
transmitted. When the Post-Alert Timer is initiated, the radio
alerts the user with an audible tone and displays the
“Man-Down” text.
See Exiting Man Down Feature on page 59 to exit Man Down
feature.
Triggering Emergency
When the user does not clear the Man Down condition and the
Post-Alert Timer comes to an end, Emergency Alarm or call is
triggered. The radio sends emergency message to units within
the same Talkgroup. The radio also sends ID number and GPS
coordinates to dispatcher if these features are enabled. User
can exit Emergency following the Emergency procedure. See
Emergency Operation on page 54 for details.
Note:
Alerting User When Man Down Feature is
Triggered
The Man Down alert tone volume is directly related to the
radio’s volume. Ensure that the radio’s volume is loud enough
so that the user does not miss the Post-Alert tone.

Hear Clear
There are two components of Hear Clear.
1 Companding:
Reduces the channel noise, e.g. OTA transmission, that is
predominantly present in UHF2 and 900 MHz channel with
the following features.
• Compressor – reduces the background noise flow and the
speech signal at transmitting radio.
• Expander – expands the speech while the noise flow
remains the same at receiving radio.
Advanced Features
2 Random FM Noise Canceller (Flutter Fighter):
Reduces the unwanted effects of random FM noise pulses
caused by channel fading under high Signal-to-Noise (S/N)
conditions such as in a moving in a transportation. The fading
effects, heard as audio pops and clicks, are cancelled without
affecting the desired audio signal.
The Random FM Noise Canceller operates only in receive
mode.
Note:
This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified
radio technician. Check with your dealer or system
administrator for more information.
The Global Positioning System (GPS)
This feature uses information from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the
approximate geographical location of your radio, expressed as
latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this
location information (and the amount of time that it takes to
calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you
are using the GPS feature.
For example, GPS location fixes are very difficult to obtain
indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in
situations where you have not established a clear broad view of
the sky.
Understanding the GPS Feature
The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting
satellites, to establish the location coordinates, maximizing your
view of clear unobstructed sky is essential for optimum
performance.
Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not
available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a
wide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will not
work. Such situations include but are not limited to:
• In underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
76
English
• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure
• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover
• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your
radio
Even where location information can be calculated in such
situations, it may take longer to do so, and your location
estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any emergency
situation, always report your location to your dispatcher.
Note:
Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites
are available, your GPS feature only provides an
approximate location, usually within 20 meters from
your actual location, but sometimes further away.
Enhancing GPS Performance
Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a
location calculation successfully. You then see a message
indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible
satellites.
To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please
note the following guidelines:
• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.
• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is
nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.
The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)
Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location information and
the time it takes to obtain it varies depending upon
circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from an
adequate number of satellites.
This feature allows you to determine your current location using
a location menu, as well as your current distance and bearing in
relation to another location. Radio location may be requested
and reported over-the-air.
Note:
Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable
location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the
memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces the
oldest waypoints in the radio.
The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled
by the U.S. government and are subject to changes
implemented in accordance with the Department of
Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio
Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the
performance of the GPS feature on your radio.
77
English
The radio also stores four (4) preprogrammed waypoints. These
coordinates cannot be deleted.

Re-Pair Timer
There are two options for configuring the radio’s Bluetooth
pairing type. The type defines the duration the radio and the
accessory retain the pairing information.
Re-Pair Timer
Options
• When the radio is powered OFF, pairing
key is lost immediately, and accessory
attempts to pair again. If pairing is
unsuccessful within the Drop Timer value,
the accessory automatically powers OFF.
• Immediate – (For headset and PTT only.) When the radio
and/or device is turned off after pairing, the keys are lost. Due
to this, when your radio and your device are turned back on,
they are unable to re-connect. The user must re-pair the
devices to re-establish a new set of pairing keys. See Pairing
Bluetooth Device with the Radio on page 87.

accessory attempts to re-establish the
Bluetooth Connection for a period of time
depending upon the Drop Timer value. If
the devices fails to reconnect within the
period, the accessory then powers OFF.
Bluetooth Drop Timer
Pairing Bluetooth Device with the Radio
The Bluetooth Drop Timer has two different settings and
functions, depending upon the selection of the Re-Pair Timer.:
Re-Pair Timer
Options
Drop Timer Options
Immediate
(for headset
and PTT only)
0 – 15 minutes programmable buffer time to
re-establish the Bluetooth Connection when
the Bluetooth signal is out of range.
If either device powers OFF, the pairing keys
are immediately cleared from both devices
and the devices must re-pair.
Infinite
(for headset,
PTT and data
devices)
This Timer only applies to the accessory.
The programmable timer choices are: 0 – 15
minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours or 8 hours.
This is a "stay alive" time that the accessory
will remain ON without the devices reconnecting before powering off. The radio
will remain ON until the user powers the
Radio OFF. The radio and accessory will
remain paired indefinitely. Once the devices
re-connect, the timer is reset.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information about these timers.
See Pairing Bluetooth Device with the Radio on page 87 to
establish the Bluetooth Connection.
Bluetooth
Pairing
Location
The range of Bluetooth operation is 10 meters line-of-sight
communication. This is an unobstructed path between the
location of the signal transmitter (your radio) and the location of
the receiver (your device or accessory).
Obstacles that can cause an obstruction in the line-of-sight
include trees, buildings, mountains, cars and etc.
It is NOT recommended that you leave your radio behind and
expect your accessory to work with a high degree of reliability
when they are separated.
At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone quality will
start to sound "garbled" or "broken". To correct this problem,
simply position the accessory and radio closer to each other
(within the 10 meter defined range) to re-establish clear audio
reception.

English

Exposure to loud noises from any source for
extended periods of time may temporarily or
permanently affect your hearing. The louder the
radio's volume, the less time is required before
your hearing could be affected. Hearing damage
from loud noise is sometimes undetectable at
first and can have a cumulative effect.
Note:
Your radio is preprogrammed to reset to medium
volume rate, which is Level 12, by default whenever the
radio powers up.
Caring for Your Radio
• (For APX 4000 R Radios Only)

• The APX 4000

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’s
submergibility will
be lost.
Vent
Port
• (For APX 4000 R
Radios Only)
The APX 4000 R 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.
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.
107
English
Cleaning Your Radio
To clean the external surfaces of your radio:
1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to
one gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get
entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the
radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.
3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or
grease.
