The following special notations identify certain items:
Additional Performance Enhancement
The following are some of the latest creations designed to
enhance the security, quality and efficiency of the radios.
ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data
ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle different
message sizes and update rates from different applications.
Install 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 seamlessly switches the radio system to a backup master
site during system failures. 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 scenarios 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 different from the Receiving Frequency. This
subsequently reduces the possibilities of radio frequency
interfering spurs and it also prevents crosstalk.
Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)
EID provides security encryption and authentication of IV & D
data bearer service communication between the 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.

Man Down
Man Down condition is determined based upon the radio tilt
angle or a combination of radio tilt angle and 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.
The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to the user.
After a Man Down condition has been detected, the user can
press a preprogrammed Clear button or preprogrammed Menu
Select button to cancel the Man Down condition. The radio
remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency
condition until the radio is moved out of the Man Down state, at
which point Man Down functionality resumes.
The Man Down feature has three phases:
iThe radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert
Timer is initiated.
ii Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined
in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, the radio
alerts the user 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.
iii 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.
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 the radio does not impact these
timers.
•Repositioning the radio exits the Man Down feature, which
stops and resets the timers.

Down alert may be inadvertently triggered.
When the radio is programmed with Man Down feature,
special care is required when charging the radio with a
wall mounted charger. See Handling Your Radio on
page 163 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

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.
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 67 for details.
Note: At this point the Man Down features is complete. Use
normal Emergency procedures to cancel Emergency
transmissions.
Alerting User When Man Down Enhanced is
Triggered
Note: This feature is to be preprogrammed specifically to a
zone and channel which supports Emergency feature.
The volume and repetition duration of Man Down
Enhanced alert tone could be customized and
preprogrammed to suite the required situation.
Consult your agent or qualified technician for more
details.
When the radio initiates Man Down Enhanced, you hear the
Critical Man Down Continuous alert tone from the radio
speaker. The volume of this tone is preprogrammed to a
minimum level or to the current radio speaker level. Whichever
louder is applied. This can act as a beacon to find the radio.
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
alert tone can be heard from the radio speaker.
Once the alert tone is active, changing to another channel with
different setup triggers different response from the radio.
•To a channel without Emergency feature – The alert tone
is inhibited.
Advanced Features
English

•To a channel with Emergency but no Man Down feature –
The alert tone is inhibited.
•To a channel with Emergency and different Man Down
configuration – The current alert tone is inhibited and
replaced with a different alert tone.
•To a channel with Emergency and similar Man Down
configuration – The alert tone continues.
Exiting Man Down Feature

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.
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:
•ARS for Device Registration
•New User Authentication for User Login
TMS functionality splits between two protocols:
•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 Two-
Factor 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.
Note: Power loss and power down are different activities,
power down occurs when the user intentionally powers
off the radio, power loss is when the battery dies or is
removed from the unit.

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.
Secondly, this feature supports query authentication
requirements so the query service knows which user originated
a query.
You can still send text messages without logging in as a user.
The user login feature only enables the recipient of your
message to identify you as the sender by assigning a username
to your message.
Note: A predefined username that’s set more than the
maximum allowed characters is an invalid name.

Secure Operations
Secure radio operation provides the highest commercially
available level of voice security on both trunked and
conventional channels.
Unlike other forms of security, Motorola digital encryption
provides signaling that makes it virtually impossible for others to
decode any part of an encrypted message.
Note: On the APX 7000L, only AES encryption is supported
for secure LTE data. In addition, for secure LTE data a
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is required.
Selecting Secure Transmissions
Procedure:
Turn the preprogrammed Secure/Clear switch to the secure
position.
Note: If the selected channel is preprogrammed for clear-only
operation – when you press the PTT button, you hear
an invalid mode tone and the display shows Clear TX

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 or MGRS format per request from
customer. 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:
•Underground locations
Advanced Features
English
108
•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
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.
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: 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.
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)
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.
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.

Using Site Selectable Alerts (ASTRO 25)
A Site Selectable Alert (SSA) is an Intelligent Lighting indicator
with audio alert sent to radios at a site or a few sites to notify the
users when there is a special situation that they need to be
aware of. Only authorized radios are enabled to send SSA.
Upon the activation of a SSA, the receiving radios display the
alert alias and generate the periodic alert tone.
Note: Alert alias, alert tone, and alert period can be
preprogrammed. Alert period is the duration for the
radio to repeat the alert tone. An interval of 5 seconds
might impact the battery life of the radio. Check with
your dealer or system administrator for more details.
When mixing SSA with received voice audio, the SSA
alert is reduced in volume to ensure that the voice
message is still heard clearly. Therefore, it is important
that the SSA audio files are created with clear loud
audio to ensure they can still be heard clearly when
played at reduced levels.

providing the radio with faster information delivery over an LTE
broadband network. Utilizing the LTE network additionally
allows the radio to perform simultaneously LMR voice operation
while sending and receiving data via the LTE network. LTE
eliminates the need for radios to be physically present at a
service facility when reconfiguration is required.
Networks supported include the public safety broadband
network (band 14) and Verizon’s commercial network (band 13).
This module allows the voice communication of P25 and data
communication via LTE to take place simultaneously.
The APX 7000L radio exterior has the speaker grill bumped out.
Besides this, the remainder of the exterior is identical to

Caring for Your Radio
•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.
•(For APX 7000/APX7000L R Radios Only)
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.

Cleaning Your Radio
Procedure:
To clean the external surfaces of your radio:
1Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to
one gallon of water (0.5% solution).
2Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-
bristled 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.
3Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or
grease.
•(For APX 7000/APX 7000L R Radios Only)
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.
!
Do not use solvents to clean your radio as most
chemicals may permanently damage the radio
housing and textures.
Do not submerge the radio in the detergent
solution.
!
