Throughout the text in this publication, you will notice
the use of Warning, Caution, and Note. These
notations are used to emphasize that safety hazards
exist, and the care that must be taken or observed.
Warning:
An operational procedure, practice, or
condition and so on, which may result in injury
or death if not carefully observed.

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.

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.

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 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.

ASTRO 25 Advanced Messaging Solution
Advanced Features
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.

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

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.

Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional
only)
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice
transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in
conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio
transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peerlocation, the voice should be directly sent from one
radio to another radio without passing through any
infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone or
DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and
receiving radio must be configured to enable them to
send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You can
check with your nearest qualified technician for more
details.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel
or Scan Talkback channel.
Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS
coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the
display shows the coordinates available in full or in
short coordinates. There are two different formats
available. Refer to the following list for the details

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.

(For APX 6000/APX 6000Li 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.
(For APX 6000/APX 6000Li 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.
Cleaning Your Radio
