Example Description Home button or Buttons and keys are shown in bold print or as an icon. Phon Menu entries are shown similar to the way they appear on the display of the radio. This means “Press the right side of the 4-Way Navigation Button”. Additional Performance Enhancement The following performance enhancements are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of the radios. ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle 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 This feature prevents crosstalk scenarios from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the internal SSI clock rate of the radio. This subsequently reduces the possibility of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk. Getting Started ASTRO 25 Enhanced Data 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 Over-theAir Rekeying (OTAR) feature will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel. Conventional Talkgroup and Radio Scan Enhancements A few enhancements have been made to the Conventional Talkgroup at the system. These enhancements improve the Scan feature operation significantly when multiple agencies are using a single conventional radio frequency channel. These enhancements allow users to use Selective Squelch to operate on only the subset of talkgroups that are relevant to the users rather than all talkgroups on the channel. These Scan improvements have been made to eliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn on the busy LED when activity is present on the channel. Mixed Vote Scan and Standard 19 English Conventional Scan configurations are supported. Priority Operation is also supported. • Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using conventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups can be supported when Vote Scan channels are being used. • Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as Smart PTT prevents users from transmitting while other users are on the channel. Note: User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement. Getting Started What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can Tell You Check with your dealer or system administrator for the correct radio settings, if the radio is to be operated in extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C).

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. Advanced Features 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 94 English 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: 1 The radio senses the Man Down condition and Pre-Alert Timer is initiated. 2 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. The following scenarios affect the timers: • • • • Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers; releasing the PTT button re-initiates 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. Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button or pressing a Menu Select button preprogrammed for Clear stops and resets the timers. The timers do not restart until the radio is repositioned. Note: Emergency must be set up for this feature to operate. For details on operating the Emergency alerts, please see Emergency Operation on page 86. If the radio is preprogrammed to horizontal only, it must be worn in a vertical position Advanced Features 3 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. otherwise the Man 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 Proper Ways to Handle the Radio on page 181 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. 95 English See Exiting Man Down Feature on page 97 to exit Man Down feature. Radio Alerts When Man Down Feature is Triggered The Man Down alert tone volume is directly related to the radio speaker volume. Ensure that the radio speaker 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. Advanced Features 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 96 English Emergency procedure. See Emergency Operation on page 86 for details. Note: At this point the Man Down features is complete. Use normal Emergency procedures to cancel Emergency transmissions. Radio Alerts 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 set to the louder of the preprogrammed minimum level or the current radio speaker level. This acts as a beacon to find the radio. 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 a different response from the radio as described next. • • • • The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel without Emergency feature. The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel with Emergency but no Man Down feature. The current alert tone is inhibited and is replaced with a different alert tone when you change to a channel with Emergency and different Man Down configuration. The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with Emergency and similar Man Down configuration. Advanced Features Note: If the radio is programmed with Silent Emergency, the radio inhibits the alert tone and visual alert associated with the emergency feature. Exiting Man Down Feature If you are not in a real Man Down situation, you should exit the Man Down feature and prevent emergency from going off with the following operation. Perform one of the following actions: • • • Repositioning the radio or shaking the radio (when motion sensitivity is enabled). Press the preprogrammed Man Down Clear button to exit. Press the Menu Select button below Clr to exit. Re-Initiating Man Down After exiting the Emergency Operation when the radio is still in Man Down condition (tilted achieving threshold angle or motionless), user must first exit Man Down condition to then reinitiate the Man Down feature.

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. 112 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. 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. Advanced Features 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. 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.

Global Positioning System / Global Navigation Satellite System Advanced Features The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) in the radio uses information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio. The geographical location is expressed as latitude and longitude or Military Grid Reference System (MGRS) format per request from customers. Note: This feature is addressed as GPS across the manual as the naming convention of the buttons and strings remain the same as the legacy feature of GPS. 128 The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to English calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature. For example, GPS location fixes are 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. 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 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. GPS Performance Enhancement 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. 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. 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 10 meters from your actual location, but sometimes farther away. Advanced Features • 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 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 129 English location. Radio location may be requested and reported over-the-air. Programmable Waypoints Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable location coordinates, also known as waypoints.
