different message sizes and variable update rates
from different applications of the radio. Add Enhanced
Data to the Integrated Data system with a software
installation to improve data channel efficiency and
enable denser network traffic.
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
Getting Started
Additional Performance Enhancement
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.
SecureNet
SecureNet allows user to perform secured
communications on an Analog or Motorola Data
Communication (MDC) channel.

Monitor Feature
Radio users who switch from analog to digital radios
often assume that the lack of static on a digital
channel is an indication that the radio is not working

the clear voice or data information to be heard.
Use the Monitor feature to make sure a channel is
clear before transmitting.

the lack of radio motion.
Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the
Emergency feature if Emergency has been
programmed in your radio.
Note: This feature could be preprogrammed for all
channels that support Emergency feature or could be
preprogrammed specifically to a zone and channel
which has Emergency feature. Consult your agent or
qualified technician for more details.
Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm
or Call when the radio achieves or passes a tilt angle
threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and
radio motion below the motion sensitivity level,
depending upon how the radio is programmed. The
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 the user to exit the
emergency condition.

If the radio is preprogrammed to horizontal only, it
must be worn in a vertical position otherwise the Man
Down alert may be inadvertently triggered.
80
English
When the radio is programmed with Man Down
feature, special care is required when charging the
radio with a wall mounted charger. See Proper Ways
to Handle the Radio on page 146 for details.
Pre-Alert Timer
This timer sets the amount of time that a Man Down
condition must be present before the radio-user is
warned of the Man Down condition.
When the radio detects that it has returned to the
vertical position or when the radio detects motion, the
Pre-Alert timer stops and is reset.
The Pre-Alert timer reinitiates when the radio detects
it is in the horizontal position or motionless again.
Post-Alert Timer
This timer sets the amount of time the radio needs to
remain in 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 82 to exit
Man Down feature.
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 PostAlert tone.
Note: If the radio is programmed with Silent
Emergency, the radio inhibits the alert tone and visual
alert associated with the emergency feature.
If the radio is programmed in Surveillance Mode, the
radio inhibits all tones and lights on the radio
including the Man Down tones.
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 72 for details.
Note: At this point the Man Down features is
complete. Use normal Emergency procedures to
cancel Emergency transmissions.

ASTRO 25 Advanced Messaging Solution
The ASTRO 25 Advanced Messaging Solution allows
you to quickly send and receive messages and run
database queries directly from your data-enabled
Motorola two-way radios. Federal mandate requires
Two-Factor Authentication when querying Federal
and State databases. With this advance messaging
solution you have the ability enable Two-Factor
Authentication.
Advanced Features
With Query and Two-Factor Authentication, you can
use a secure system logon to initiate and receive key
information on people, vehicles and properties when
doing the regular security patrol. You can access to
local or external databases such as the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC), for "Hot Hits" on
priors and warrants. Query and Two-Factor
Authentication has Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) security compliance for queries.
With this Advanced Messaging Solution, ARS
functionality splits between two protocols:
•
•
92
ARS for Device Registration
New User Authentication for User Login
TMS functionality splits between two protocols:
English
•
•
TMS for messaging
New Service Advertisement for service
availabilities
The radio with Two-Factor capabilities are backward
compatible with the existing device registration
system and TMS servers.
System Setup for ASTRO Advanced Messaging
Solution
Your user name, unit ID and password all need to be
provisioned in PremierOne™. Your user account in
PremierOne needs to be linked to an RSA account
specifying a token to be used with the Two-Factor
passcode.
The radios caches the user name, unit ID and or
Single Factor password in the codeplug, this allows
the radio to automatically log in to use Single Factor
authentication upon power up or mode change. The
Two-Factor passcode is not stored in the codeplug.
You can upgrade the Single Factor session to a TwoFactor session by entering the Two-Factor passcode
only. After an interruption (for example mode change,
DSR switch over, power loss), the radio is capable of
restoring the active session in its current state as long
as the session is active in the server.
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication is an extension of existing
ARS and TMS operation. This feature allows you to
authenticate yourself with a username, unit ID,
password and passcode.
The purpose of this feature is to allow the sender of a
text message to address a specific user of the radio,
so the message is delivered to the user, not to the
radio which may have any user using it at the time.

The Random FM Noise Canceller
operates only in receive mode.
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 or
MGRS format per request from customers. 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.
Once GPS is enabled, the radio displays the GPS
icon on the screen. The dispatcher can always
request the system to determine the real-time location
coordinates of the radio.
GPS Operation
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:
•
•
•
Underground locations
Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered
vehicles
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
Advanced Features
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.
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.
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.
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
farther away.
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.
103
English
GPS Performance Enhancement
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, take note of 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 radio also stores four (4) preprogrammed
waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted.
The following table shows the differences between a
programmable waypoints and a preprogrammed

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.
Note: Once a COTS headset is paired to your radio, it
is always connected. Therefore the battery life of the
accessory is aligned with the Talk Time power
consumption, not the Standby Time consumption.

Radio Care
Caution:
•
Your 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.
•
•
•
Your 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.
