1.2
Radio Care
Proper radio usage and care ensure efficient operation and long life of the product. CAUTION: Use the radio according to the following recommendations and warnings. · Your radio casing has a vent port for pressure equalization in the radio. Never poke this vent with objects such as needles, tweezers, or screwdrivers. Poking the vent could create leak paths into the radio and the radio submergibility will be lost.
A
· Never obstruct or cover the vent port, even with a label. · Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent port. · (For APX 5000 R Radios Only) Your radio is designed to be submerged to a maximum
depth of 6 feet and maximum time of 2 hours. Exceeding either maximum limit may result in damage to the radio. · (For APX 5000 R Radios Only) Elastomer seals used in portable radios age with time and environmental exposure. To ensure the waterseal integrity of the radio, Motorola Solutions recommends that radios be checked annually as a preventive measure. The disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary test equipment are available in the Service Manual. · If the radio battery contacts are exposed to water without the battery attached, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Turn the radio over with the battery contact facing down and shake the radio so any trapped water can escape. A short circuit of the contacts could occur if they are not dried properly. · If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio to remove any water that is trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Otherwise, the water decreases the audio quality of the radio. · If an accessory is not attached to the radio, ensure that the accessory connector cover is attached to the radio side accessory connector. · If the radio is submerged or exposed to a high force water spray, such as from a hose, remove the accessory or accessory connector cover immediately and ensure that no water is forced into the accessory connector/radio interface. Rinse and dry the area and re-attach the accessory or accessory connector cover if leakage occurs. · If the radio is exposed to a corrosive environment, such as salt water or corrosive gases or liquids, rinse and clean the radio immediately to prevent damage to radio materials, especially plated surfaces. Remove the battery and the antenna before cleaning. · Do not disassemble the radio as you could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.
13

68012002064-GR Chapter 1: Read Me First
· Only Underwriter Laboratory (UL) approved service centers can open and service UL certified radios. Opening or repairing at unauthorized locations invalidates hazardous location rating of the radio.
· Do not pound, drop, or throw the radio unnecessarily. · Turn off the radio when charging the radio using a wall-mounted charger. Otherwise, the
Man Down Alert and Emergency may be accidentally triggered. · When cleaning the radio, do not use a high-pressure jet spray as this may exceed the depth
pressure and cause water to leak into the radio.
1.2.1
Cleaning Your Radio
CAUTION: Do not use solvents to clean your radio as most chemicals may permanently damage the radio housing and textures. Do not submerge the radio in the detergent solution. To clean the external surfaces of your radio, follow the procedure described next.
Procedure: 1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, shortbristled brush, making sure that excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls, or crevices. Rinse and then dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. 3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.
1.2.2
Cleaning the External Surface of the Radio
Prerequisites: CAUTION: Do not use solvents to clean your radio. Spirits may permanently damage the radio housing. Do not submerge the radio in detergent solution.
Procedure: 1 Combine 1 teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to 1 gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-bristled brush, ensuring that excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls, or crevices. 3 Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, absorbent, lint-free cloth. 4 Ensure that no water remains entrapped near the connectors, cracks, or crevices.
1.2.3

1.4.6
Over-the-Air Rekeying
The Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) feature allows the dispatcher to remotely reprogram encryption keys in the radio after a rekey request. Single-system OTAR
Single-system OTAR allows a radio to be rekeyed by only one Key Management Facility (KMF) or Key Management Controller (KMC). Multi-system OTAR Multi-system OTAR allows a radio to be rekeyed by multiple KMFs. After an initial programming, the radio is able to seamlessly move to different secure systems associated to a newly selected channel.
NOTICE: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Contact your system administrator for more information.
1.4.7
P25 Digital Vehicular Repeater System
Motorola Solutions offers an MSI Certified APX compatible, third 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.
NOTICE: Portable subscriber units enabled in the system for Radio Authentication shall be able to authenticate regardless of whether they are communicating directly on the system or by using a DVRS. DVRS can also work with SmartConnect to use broadband coverage for the in-vehicle mobile. Portable radios communicate through the in-vehicle mobile to the system through the LTE, Satellite or Wi-Fi connection. This extends the system coverage when you are away from the vehicle.
1.4.8
Conventional Talkgroup and Radio Scan Enhancements
Enhancements have been made to the Conventional Talkgroup at the system to improve the Scan feature operation significantly when multiple agencies are using a single conventional radio frequency channel. These enhancements allow you 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. The enhancements support the following Scan mode: · Mixed Vote Scan. · Standard Conventional Scan. · Priority Operation. 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 you from transmitting while other users are on the channel.
NOTICE: User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.

ASTRO 25 Advanced Messaging Solution
The ASTRO 25 Advanced Messaging Solution allows you to quickly send and receive messages and run database queries directly from your data-enabled Motorola Solutions two-way radios. Federal mandate requires Two-Factor Authentication when querying Federal and State databases. With Query and Two-Factor Authentication, you can use a secure system logon to initiate and receive key information on people, vehicles, and properties during security patrol. You can access 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.

Global Positioning System/Global Navigation Satellite System
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.
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. If 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.
6.21.1
