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.
A
· Never obstruct or cover the vent port, even with a label. · Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the vent port. · 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. · 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. · 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. · 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.

1.4
Additional Performance Enhancement
The following performance enhancements are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality, and efficiency of the radios.
1.4.1
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. To improve data channel efficiency and enable denser network traffic, add Enhanced Data to the Integrated Data system with a software installation.
1.4.2
Dynamic System Resilience
Dynamic System Resilience (DSR) ensures that the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup master site dynamically during a system failure. DSR also provides indications such as failure detection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the system. DSR also supports mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) or data centric.
1.4.3
CrossTalk Prevention
CrossTalk Prevention feature prevents crosstalk scenarios and allows the adjustment of the internal SSI clock rate of the radio. This reduces the possibility of radio frequency interfering spurs.
1.4.4
Encrypted Integrated Data
Encrypted Integrated Data (EID) provides security encryption and authentication of Integrated Voice and Data (IV&D) data bearer service communication between the radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.
1.4.5
SecureNet
SecureNet allows you to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel.
1.4.6
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.
12

MN000253A01-BM Chapter 1: Read Me First
1.4.7
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.
