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

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.

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-the-

Air 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

Getting Started

English

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

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.

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).

You can consult your dealer or system administrator

about the following:

• Is your radio programmed with any preset

conventional channels?

• Which buttons have been programmed to access

other features?

• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

Note:

Specifications may vary for different radio

models. Check with your dealer or system

administrator for more information.

English

Preparing Your Radio for Use

This section provides simple instructions to prepare

your radio for use.

Charging the Battery

Warning:

To avoid a possible explosion:

• Do not replace the battery in any area

labeled hazardous atmosphere.

• Do not discard batteries in a fire.

The Motorola-approved battery shipped with your

radio is uncharged. Prior to using a new battery,

charge it for a minimum of 16 hours to ensure

optimum capacity and performance. For a list of

Motorola-authorized batteries and chargers available

for use with your radio, see Accessories on page

188.

Note:

When charging a battery attached to a radio,

turn the radio off to ensure a full charge.

To charge the battery, place the battery (with or

without the radio) in a Motorola-approved charger.

The LED on the charger indicates the charging

progress; see the charger user guide.

Attaching the Battery

If your radio is preprogrammed with volatile-key

retention, the encryption keys are retained for

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.

Advanced Features

English

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:

1The radio senses the Man Down condition and

Pre-Alert Timer is initiated.

2Man 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.

3Man 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 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

otherwise the Man Down alert may be

inadvertently triggered.

Advanced Features

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 185 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 93 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.

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 86 for details.

Advanced Features

English

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.

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 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.

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

Advanced Features

108

English

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,

Advanced Features

109

English

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 is set more than

the maximum allowed characters is an invalid

name.

Logging in via the Two-Factor Authentication

Global Positioning System / Global

Navigation Satellite System

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.

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 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

Advanced Features

125

English

• 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.

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.

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

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 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.

Advanced Features

126

Geofence (ASTRO 25 Trunking System)

Geofence is a virtual perimeter based on the GPS to

define a geographical area on earth.

When the radio enters the predefined Geofence area,

your radio receives the Dynamic Regroup command

from the system and immediately connects to a

Dynamic Regroup talkgroup. The radio display shows

the new selected Dynamic Regrouped talkgroup with

green intelligent light for your attention.

On top of that, additional features are Voice

Announcement of the new channel, and also direct

content display of a text message to indicate that you

are currently at Geofence area. Check with your

nearest qualified technician on the requirements for

these enhancements to work in Geofence.

The Voice Announcement and TMS display in this

feature are optional. They must be configured to

enable you to hear and see these indicators.

When the radio enters a Geofence area, the radio

immediately sends a message ACK back to the

system.

The radio searches the current zone for the channel

with same talkgroup assigned as the Dynamic

Talkgroup and also with same system ID of current

trunk system. Once matched, the radio display shows

the first matched and connected channel alias.

If there is no channel with matched Talkgroup ID and

trunk system ID, the radio display shows the channel

alias of <DYNAMIC talkgroup>.

Once the radio is connected, you hear a dynamic

regroup tone, the radio display shows <DYNAMIC

channel> with temporary green color intelligent

backlight and you hear a Voice Announcement.

Note:

When the radio loss the GPS signal the GPS

icon blinks and the radio sounds two high-

pitched tones repetitively to indicate GPS fails

to operate. The radio display shows red

intelligent light.

Note:

If the first matched channel is not configured

with Voice Announcement, no Voice

Announcement is played.

The system sends a message to your radio. The

radio display shows a direct text message content

without any user operation. This message indicates

you are currently present in a Geofence area. This

TMS remains open on the display until user presses

exit/home to exit this screen.

Note:

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.

Helpful Tips

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.

Helpful Tips
