Important Safety InformationEnglishixImportant Safety InformationRF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles, Vessels or as Fixed Site Control StationsATTENTION! This radio is restricted to Occupational use only. Before using the radio, read the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety Guide for Mobile Two-Way Radios Installed in Vehicles, Vessels or as Fixed Site Control Station which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for Compliance with applicable standards and Regulations.For a list of Motorola-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website: http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APXUnder Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.This radio transmitter has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the Motorola-approved antenna types with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device.Note: Setting up the radio as an RF Modem takes complete control of the radio. In this mode, the radio no longer responds to button and PTT presses nor will it unmute to voice activity. This mode is designed to receive and pass specifically formatted over the air data to a tethered computer with RF modem enabled applications. This mode can only be exit by reprogramming the radio with Customer Programming Software (CPS) to not operate in RF modem mode and cycling power.

Software VersionEnglishxSoftware VersionAll the features described in the following sections are supported by the radio's software version R08.05.00 or later.Accessing Radio Information on page 101 to determine your radio's software version. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more details of all the features supported.Notice to Users (FCC and Industry Canada)This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s) and RSS 210 of the Industry Canada rules per the conditions listed below:1This device may not cause harmful interference.2This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.3Changes or modifications made to this device, not expressly approved by Motorola, could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.Informations importantes sur la sécuritéGuide sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences et la sécurité du produit pour radios mobiles bidirectionnellesATTENTION! Cette radio est réservée à un usage professionnel seulement pour satisfaire les normes d'exposition à l'énergie RF de la FCC. Avant d'utiliser ce produit, lisez le guide inclus avec votre radio, qui contient d'importantes informations sur le mode d'emploi sécuritaire du produit ainsi que des informations relatives à l'énergie de RF et à son contrôle, afin d'assurer la conformité aux normes et règlements applicables.Pour obtenir une liste d'antennes et d'autres accessoires approuvés par Motorola, consultez le site Web : http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX Avant d'utiliser ce produit, lisez les directives d'utilisation sécuritaire présentées dans le livret Sécurité du produit et exposition à l'énergie RF accompagnant votre radio.!Mise en garde

Version du logicielEnglishxiSelon la règlementation d'Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radio ne peut être utilisé qu'avec une antenne dont le type et le gain maximal (ou minimal) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada pour cet émetteur. Afin de limiter les interférences radio pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l'antenne doivent être choisis de façon à ce que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas plus forte qu'il ne le faut pour établir la communication.Le présent émetteur a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne agréés par Motorola et ayant un gain admissible maximal ainsi que l'impédance requise pour chaque type d'antenne indiqué. Les types d'antenne non inclus, dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l'exploitation de l'émetteur.Remarque: Régler la radio en tant que modem RF prend le contrôle complet de la radio. Dans ce mode, la radio ne répond plus aux pressions des boutons de commande et PTT, et ne reçoit aucun signal vocal. Ce mode est conçu pour recevoir et transmettre des données spécifiquement formatées pour la liaison radio avec un ordinateur attaché doté d'applications compatibles avec le modem RF. Ce mode ne peut être désactivé qu'en reprogrammant la radio avec un logiciel CPS (programmation client) afin qu'elle ne fonctionne plus en mode modem RF et en la redémarrant.Version du logicielToutes les fonctionnalités décrites dans les sections suivantes sont prises en charge par la version du logiciel R08.05.00 ou ultérieure de la radio.Vérifiez auprès de votre détaillant ou de l'administrateur de système pour obtenir des renseignements sur les fonctionnalités prises en charge.Avis aux utilisateurs (FCC et Industrie Canada)Cet appareil est conforme à la Partie 15 des règlements de la FCC, normes CNR (cahiers des charges sur les normes radioélectriques) pour les appareils exempts de licence d’Industrie Canada et RSS 210 du règlement d'Industrie Canada selon les conditions énumérées ci-dessous:1Ce dispositif ne doit pas causer d'interférences nuisibles.2Cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris les interférences qui peuvent perturber le fonctionnement.

Getting StartedEnglish2Additional Performance EnhancementThe following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX mobile radios.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 PreventionThis feature prevents crosstalk scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in the radio to be varied from the Receiving Frequency. This subsequently reduced the possibilities of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk.
