ASTRO 25 Enhanced DataASTRO 25 Enhanced Data is optimized to handle differentmessage sizes and variable update rates from differentapplications of the radio. Add Enhanced Data to theIntegrated Data system with a software installation toimprove data channel efficiency and enable denser networktraffic.Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)DSR ensures the radio system is seamlessly switched to abackup master site dynamically in case of system failure.DSR also provides additional indication e.g. failuredetection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the systemto address to the user in need. Mechanisms related to theIntegrated Voice and Data (IV&D) or data centric are allsupported by DSR.CrossTalk PreventionThis feature prevents crosstalk scenarios from happening,especially when a wideband antenna is used. This featureallows the adjustment of the internal SSI clock rate of theradio. This subsequently reduces the possibility of radiofrequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues ofcrosstalk.Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)EID provides security encryption and authentication ofIV&D data bearer service communication between the radioand the Customer Enterprise Network.SecureNetSecureNet allows user to perform secured communicationson an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC)channel.Conventional Talkgroup and RadioScan EnhancementsA few enhancements have been made to the ConventionalTalkgroup at the system. These enhancements improve theScan feature operation significantly when multiple agenciesare using a single conventional radio frequency channel.These enhancements allow users to use Selective Squelchto operate on only the subset of talkgroups that arerelevant to the users rather than all talkgroups on thechannel. These Scan improvements have been made toeliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn onthe busy LED when activity is present on the channel.Mixed Vote Scan and Standard Conventional ScanEnglish30 Send FeedbackDraft
configurations are supported. Priority Operation is alsosupported.Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported usingconventional channels. A maximum of four talkgroups canbe supported when Vote Scan channels are being used.Smart PTT is supported with this enhancement as SmartPTT prevents users from transmitting while other users areon the channel.NOTE:User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible withthis Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.What Your Dealer/SystemAdministrator Can Tell YouCheck with your dealer or system administrator for thecorrect radio settings, if the radio is to be operated inextreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60°C).You can consult your dealer or system administrator aboutthe following:• Is your radio programmed with any preset conventionalchannels?• Which buttons have been programmed to access otherfeatures?• What optional accessories may suit your needs?NOTE:Specifications may vary for different radio models.Check with your dealer or system administrator formore information.EnglishSend Feedback 31Draft

Your user account inPremierOne needs to be linked to an RSA accountspecifying a token to be used with the Two-Factorpasscode.The radios caches the user name, unit ID and or SingleFactor password in the codeplug, this allows the radio toautomatically log in to use Single Factor authenticationupon power up or mode change. The Two-Factor passcodeis not stored in the codeplug. You can upgrade the SingleFactor session to a Two- Factor session by entering theTwo-Factor passcode only. After an interruption (forexample mode change, DSR switch over, power loss), theradio is capable of restoring the active session in its currentstate 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 intentionallypowers off the radio, power loss is when the batterydies or is removed from the unit.Two-Factor AuthenticationTwo-Factor Authentication is an extension of existing ARSand TMS operation.

The geographical location is expressed as latitudeand longitude or Military Grid Reference System (MGRS)format per request from customers.NOTE:This feature is addressed as GPS across themanual as the naming convention of the buttonsand strings remain the same as the legacy featureof GPS.The availability and accuracy of this location information(and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) variesdepending on the environment in which you are using theGPS feature.For example, GPS location fixes are difficult to obtainindoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or insituations where you have not established a clear broadview of the sky.EnglishSend Feedback 145Draft
Once GPS is enabled, the radio displays the GPS icon onthe screen. The dispatcher can always request the systemto determine the real-time location coordinates of the radio.GPS OperationThe GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbitingsatellites to establish location coordinates. Therefore,maximizing your view of unobstructed sky is essential foroptimum performance.Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are notavailable (usually because you cannot establish a view of awide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will notwork. Such situations include but are not limited to:• Underground locations• Inside buildings, trains, or covered vehicles• Under any metal, or concrete roof, or structure• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits ofyour radioEven where location information can be calculated in suchsituations, it may take longer to do so, and your locationestimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in anyemergency situation, always report your location to yourdispatcher.Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location informationand the time it takes to obtain it varies depending uponcircumstances, particularly the ability to receive signalsfrom an adequate number of satellites.NOTE:Even where adequate signals from multiplesatellites are available, your GPS feature onlyprovides an approximate location, usually within 10meters from your actual location, but sometimesfarther away.The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled bythe U.S. government and are subject to changesimplemented in accordance with the Department ofDefense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio NavigationPlan. These changes may affect the performance of theGPS feature on your radio.GPS Performance EnhancementSometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete alocation calculation successfully.

Check with your dealer or system administratorfor more information.The range of Bluetooth operation when using a MCWaccessory is 10 meters line-of-sight communication. This isan unobstructed path between the location of the signaltransmitter (your radio) and the location of the receiver(your device or accessory).Obstacles that can cause an obstruction in the line-of-sightinclude trees, buildings, mountains, cars and etc.For high degree of reliability, Motorola recommends to NOTseparate the radio and the accessory.At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone qualitywill start to sound "garbled" or "broken". To correct thisproblem, simply position the accessory and radio closer toeach other (within the 10 meter defined range) to re-establish clear audio reception.NOTE:Once a COTS headset is paired to your radio, it isalways connected.

Helpful TipsRadio CareCAUTION:• Your radio casting has a vent port that allows forpressure equalization in the radio. Never pokethis vent with any objects, such as needles,tweezers, or screwdrivers.This could create leakpaths into the radio and the radio’s submergibilitywill be lost.A• The radio with antenna attached properly isdesigned to be submersible to a maximum depthof 1 meter (3.28 feet) and a maximumsubmersion time of 30 minutes. Exceeding eithermaximum limit or use without antenna may resultin damage to the radio.• If the radio battery contact area has beensubmerged in water, dry and clean the radiobattery contacts before attaching a battery to theradio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit theradio.• If the radio has been submerged in water, shakethe radio well so that any water that may betrapped inside the speaker grille and microphoneport can be removed. Otherwise, the water willdecrease the audio quality of the radio.• Do not disassemble the radio. This coulddamage radio seals and result in leak paths intothe radio. Any radio maintenance should beperformed only by a qualified radio technician.EnglishSend Feedback 201Draft
