Additional Performance Enhancement

The 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 Prevention

This 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.

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 OTAR feature will allow users to perform OTAR

activities on an MDC channel.

“noise” from the signal and allowing only the clear voice or data

information to be heard.

Monitor a channel to ensure the channel is clear before

transmitting.

Hear Clear

There are two components of Hear Clear.

1Companding:

Reduces the channel noise, e.g. OTA transmission, that is

predominantly present in UHF2 and 900 MHz channel with

the following features.

•Compressor – reduces the background noise flow and the

speech signal at transmitting radio.

•Expander – expands the speech while the noise flow

remains the same at receiving radio.

2Random FM Noise Canceller (Flutter Fighter):

Reduces the unwanted effects of random FM noise pulses

caused by channel fading under high Signal-to-Noise (S/N)

conditions such as in a moving in a transportation. The fading

effects, heard as audio pops and clicks, are cancelled without

affecting the desired audio signal.

The Random FM Noise Canceller operates only in receive

mode.

Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified

radio technician. Check with your dealer or system

administrator for more information.

The Global Positioning System (GPS)

This feature uses information from the Global Positioning

System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the

approximate geographical location of your radio, expressed as

latitude and longitude. 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 very 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.

Understanding the GPS Feature

The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting

satellites, to establish the location co-ordinates, 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:

•In underground locations

•Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles



Draft 1c

Advanced Features

English

•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

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.

Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites

are available, your GPS feature only provides an

approximate location, usually within 20 meters from

your actual location, but sometimes further away.

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: 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.

Enhancing GPS Performance

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, please

note 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.

Trunking System Controls

Using the Failsoft System

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications

during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails

completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and

automatically switches to its failsoft channel.

The failsoft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone every

nine seconds (radio unsquelched) until the trunking system

returns to normal operation.

To continue, in Failsoft, to communicate with other talkgroups,

refer to the following procedure.

Procedure:

1Press the Mode Rocker to change to a different repeater

frequency.

2Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to

listen.

When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your

radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to

trunked operation.

Going Out-of-Range

Out of range when your radio goes out of the range of the

system, it can no longer lock onto a control channel.

Procedure:

1A low-pitched tone sounds.

SmartZone®

The SmartZone® feature extends communications beyond the

reach of a single-trunked site (antenna location) when operating

in a SmartZone system. SmartZone units provide expanded

wide-area coverage.

SmartZone automatically switches the radio to a different site

when the current site signal becomes unacceptable. This

usually happens when the vehicle in which the radio is located

is driven out of the range of one site, and into the range of

another.

Under normal conditions, a SmartZone-enabled radio functions

invisibly to the operator. However, the operator does have some

manual controls on the Control Head – the RSSI menu entry.

This button can be used to check, or change, the SmartZone

operation.

Using Site Trunking Feature

If the zone controller loses communication with any site, that

site reverts to site trunking.

The display shows the currently selected zone/channel

combination and Site trunking.

Note: When this occurs, you can communicate only with

other radios within your trunking site.

Locking and Unlocking a Site

This feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not

roam among wide-area talkgroup sites. This feature should be

used with caution, since it inhibits roaming to another site in a

wide-area system.

Trunked Announcement

The announcement capability allows you to make

announcements to the entire user group, as well as monitor

talkgroup calls and other announcements.

Announcement calls are handled in two different ways,

depending on the trunked central controller configuration. The

two types are called ruthless and non-ruthless preemption.

•Ruthless Preemption:

When a ruthless preemption announcement call is initiated,

the requesting radio begins transmitting immediately. All

associated talkgroup calls taking place on other channels are

immediately halted, and the radios are steered to the

announcement call.

Transmitting radios continue to transmit until the PTT button

is released, at which time they also unmute for the

announcement call. Individual calls (Private Conversation and

telephone interconnect) are not affected.

•Non-Ruthless Preemption:

When a non-ruthless preemption announcement is initiated,

the initiating unit receives a telephone-type busy tone,

followed by a call back when all associated talkgroup

conversations end.

Once an announcement call is pending, any attempts by

other users to initiate a talkgroup call will result in a

telephone-type busy tone. These users will not receive a call

back until the announcement call is complete.

Initiating an Announcement

If your radio has been programmed to allow announcement

calls:

Procedure:

1Press the Mode Rocker to locate the announcement-group

mode.

announcement.

Caring for Your Radio

The following are suggestions to assist you in troubleshooting

possible operating problems.

The cables that connect to the rear of the radio

could have live voltage on some of their pins. Do

not remove or reconnect these cables. Only a

qualified radio technician should perform this task.

Service performed by unauthorized personnel may

cause the radio to transmit an emergency alarm

even if the unit is turned off.

If your radio is locked up or the display shows Fail 01-90, turn

the radio off and then back on. If this does not correct the

condition, take the radio to a qualified radio technician for

service.

If radio operation is intermittent, check with other persons using

the system for similar problems before taking the radio in for

service. Similar problems indicate a system malfunction rather

than a radio failure.

If symptoms persist or, if your unit exhibits other problems,

contact a qualified radio technician.

Cleaning the External Surface of the

Radio

Procedure:

1Combine one teaspoon of mild diswashing detergent to one

gallon of water (0.5% solution).

2Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-

bristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get

entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices.

3Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth.

•Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits

may permanently damage the radio housing.

•Do not submerge the radio in the detergent

solution.
