How to Use This Guide This User Guide covers the basic operation of the APX™3000 Portables. However, your dealer or system administrator may have customized your radio for your specific needs. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information. Caution Note: Getting Started Take a moment to review the following: Notations Used in This Manual An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc., which may result in damage to the equipment if not carefully observed. An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc., which is essential to emphasize. English 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. Getting Started 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. English 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 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? 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! 1 Your 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.

Man Down†‡ The Man Down feature has three phases: Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the Emergency feature if Emergency has been programmed in your radio. Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call when your radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and your radio motion is below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how your radio is programmed. Your radio must stay in this condition for a preprogrammed amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated. Note: It is recommended that an Emergency button is preprogrammed in order to allow you to exit the emergency condition. The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to you. After a Man Down condition has been detected, you can press a preprogrammed Clear button to cancel the Man Down condition. Your radio remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency condition until your radio is moved out of the Man Down state, at which point Man Down functionality resumes. ii iii Your radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert Timer is initiated. Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, your radio alerts you on the Man Down status with an audible alert tone and Man Down text on the screen. The Post-Alert Timer also initiates at this point. Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Post-Alert Timer field. Once the timer expires, the Emergency alarm is transmitted. The Man Down Clear function is used in this phase to cancel the Man Down condition. Advanced Features Man Down condition is determined based upon your radio tilt angle or a combination of radio tilt angle and the lack of radio motion. The following scenarios affect the timers: • Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers; releasing the PTT button reinitiates the Pre-Alert Timer. • Pressing other buttons on your radio does not impact these timers. • Repositioning your radio exits the Man Down feature, which stops and resets the timers. • Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button to stops and resets the timers.

If your radio is preprogrammed to horizontal only, it must be worn in a vertical position otherwise the Man Down alert may be inadvertently triggered. When your radio is programmed with Man Down feature, special care is required when charging your radio with a wall mounted charger. See Handling Your Radio on page 65 for details. Post-Alert Timer This timer sets the amount of time your radio needs to remain in the Man Down condition before the Emergency alarm is transmitted. When the Post-Alert Timer is initiated, your radio alerts you with an audible tone and displays the “MAN-DOWN” text. See Exiting Man Down Feature on page 45 to exit Man Down feature. Alerting Tones When Man Down Feature is Triggered Advanced Features Pre-Alert Timer This timer sets the amount of time that a Man Down condition must be present before your are warned of the Man Down condition. When your radio detects that it has returned to the vertical position or when your radio detects motion, the Pre-Alert timer stops and is reset. The Pre-Alert timer reinitiates when your radio detects it is in the horizontal position or motionless again. 44 English The Man Down alert tone volume is directly related to your radio’s volume. Ensure that your radio’s volume is loud enough so that you do not miss the Post-Alert tone. Note: If your radio is programmed with Silent Emergency, your radio inhibits the alert tone and visual alert associated with the emergency feature. Note: If your radio is programmed in Surveillance Mode, your radio inhibits all tones and lights on your radio including the Man Down tones. Re-Initiating Man Down When you have not clear the Man Down condition and the PostAlert Timer comes to an end, Emergency Alarm or call is triggered. Your radio sends emergency message to units within the same Talkgroup. Your radio also sends ID number and GPS coordinates to your dispatcher if these features are enabled. See Emergency Operation†‡ on page 39 for details regarding exiting Emergency mode. After exiting the Emergency Operation when your radio is still in Man Down condition (tilted achieving threshold angle or motionless), reinitiate the Man Down feature by exiting the Man Down condition.

The time-out timer Tone Private Line (PL), Digital Private-Line (DPL), and carrier squelch can be available (preprogrammed) per channel. Advanced Features restarts and the LED lights up solid red. Mode Result Carrier squelch (C) You hear all traffic on a channel. PL or DPL Your radio responds only to your messages. Digital Options One or more of the following options may be preprogrammed in your radio. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information. Option Digital Carrier-Operated Squelch (COS) Normal Squelch 60 English Result You hear any digital traffic. You hear any digital traffic having the correct network access code. Result Selective Switch You hear any digital traffic having the correct network access code and correct talkgroup. Using the Digital PTT ID Feature‡ This feature allows you to see the radio ID (number) of the radio from whom you are currently receiving a transmission. This ID, consisting up to a maximum of eight characters, can be viewed by both the receiving radio and your dispatcher. Your radio’s ID number is also automatically sent every time the PTT button is pressed. This is a per-channel feature. For digital voice transmissions, your radio’s ID is sent continuously during the voice message. Three variations of smart PTT are available: Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Carrier You cannot transmit if any traffic is detected on the channel. Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel with Wrong Squelch Code You cannot transmit on an active channel with a squelch code or (if secure-equipped) encryption key other than your own. If the PL code is the same as yours, the transmission is not prevented. Quick-Key Override This feature can work in conjunction with either of the two above variations. You can override the transmit-inhibit state by quick-keying your radio. In other words, two PTT button presses within the preprogrammed time limit. Advanced Features Option Using the Smart PTT Feature (Conventional Only) Smart PTT is a per-personality, programmable feature used in conventional radio systems to keep your radio from talking over other radio conversations. When smart PTT is enabled in your radio, you cannot transmit on an active channel. If you try to transmit on an active smart-PTT channel, you hear an alert tone, and the transmission is inhibited. The LED lights up solid yellow to indicate that the channel is busy. 61 English Voice Announcement† This feature enables your radio to audibly indicate the current feature mode, Zone or Channel you have just assigned. This audio indicator can be customized per customer requirements. This is typically useful when you are in a difficult condition to read the content shown on the display. Each voice announcement is within a limit of three seconds maximum. The sum total duration for all voice announcements in your radio shall be no more than 1000 seconds. Advanced Features Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Check with your agent if Voice Announcement is available for the feature you need. The two options of priority for the Voice Announcement available are: • High – enables the voice of the feature to announce even when your radio is receiving calls. • Low – disables the voice of the feature from announcing when your radio is receiving calls. Procedure: You hear a voice announcement when the features below are preprogrammed in your radio. 62 English • Your radio powers up. Your radio announces the current zone and channel it is transmitting. • Press the preprogrammed voice announcement button (which specifically programmed to playback the current zone and channel). Your radio announces the current zone and channel it is transmitting. Note: Pressing this preprogrammed playback button will always enable the voice feature to announce in High priority. • Change to a new zone. Your radio announces the current zone and channel it is transmitting. • Change to a new channel remaining within the current zone. Your radio announces the current channel. • Press the preprogrammed button of your radio to launch or terminate the feature such as Scan, Talkaround/Direct or Transmit Inhibit, etc. Your radio announces the corresponding feature activation. Helpful Tips Scenario Solution LED indicator on the radio is not functioning during transmit and receive or any other operation The radio might be preprogrammed in lights off mode in the current channel. For covert operation, the LEDs can be preprogrammed to turn off with specific zones or channels. It is hence recommended to add key words like Lights off or Lights on to the zone or channel Voice Announcements. No LED feedback upon turning on your radio via on/ off switch First, check your battery by docking it into the charger. If the battery is good, it might be the reason that the radio was turned off at a preprogrammed zone/channel which the LED lights would not be shown for covert operation. Change to a zone/ channel that LED lights are enabled. Meanwhile, ensure you connect an audio accessory to hear the audio alerts or transmission. Cannot connect with the Bluetooth accessory Check the accessory battery and ensure the battery is still good. Also check the accessory device is in the pairing mode.
