Additional Performance
Enhancement
The following performance enhancements are some of the
latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality,
and efficiency of the radios.
English
Send Feedback 25
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 such as 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.
P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System
(DVRS)
Motorola Solutions offers an MSI Certified APX compatible,
3rd Party, P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System (DVRS)
that provides low cost portable radio coverage in areas
where only mobile radio coverage is available and portable
radio coverage is either intermittent or non-existent.

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 Conventional Scan
configurations are supported. Priority Operation is also
supported.
Up to 30 different talkgroups can be supported using

Global Positioning System/Global
Navigation Satellite System
The Global Navigation System (GNSS) in the radio
integrated the information from the Global Positioning
System (GPS) and Global Navigation Satellite System
(GLONASS) 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.
NOTICE:
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.
2.13.1
GPS Operation
The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting
satellites to establish location coordinates. Therefore,
maximizing your view of unobstructed sky is essential for
optimum performance.
English
122 Send Feedback
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 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 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.
NOTICE:
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.
2.13.2
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 the 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 60 programmable
location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the
memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces
the oldest waypoints in the radio.
The radio also stores four preprogrammed waypoints.
These coordinates cannot be deleted.

Geofence (ASTRO 25 Trunking
System)
Geofence is a virtual perimeter based on the GPS to define
a geographical area on earth.
Check with your dealer or qualified technician to
programme the geofence coordinates and actions.
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.
Any new text messages received at Geofence shall have
its content displayed immediately on the radio display.
NOTICE:
If the radio is set up in DVRS, only mobile radio is
supported for this feature.

English
Send Feedback 129
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 matching 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.
NOTICE:
When the radio loses the GPS signal, the GPS icon
blinks and the radio sounds two high-pitched tones
repetitively to indicate that the GPS has failed to
operate. The radio display shows the red intelligent
light.
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.
NOTICE:
If there is another incoming text message before
you exit the previous message, the message screen
is refreshed to show the latest message.
The following procedure guides you to exit the text
message received.

recommends to NOT separate the radio and the accessory.
At the fringe areas of reception, both voice and tone quality
will start to sound "garbled" or "broken". To correct this
problem, simply position the accessory and radio closer to
each other (within the 10 meter defined range) to re-
establish clear audio reception.

Helpful Tips
This chapter explains the radio and battery care.
3.1
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.
A
•Your radio is designed to be submerged to a
maximum depth of 6 feet, with a maximum
English
Send Feedback 177
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
Solutions recommends that rugged radios be
checked annually as a preventive measure in
order to assure the watertight integrity of the
radio. Motorola Solutions 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.
