NOTICE:

This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

Infinite UKEK Retention

This feature enables Unique Key Encryption Key (UKEK) to be permanently stored in the radio even when all the encryption keys are erased. Without this UKEK key, the radio cannot be rekeyed over the air.

NOTICE:


Hear Clear

NOTICE:


There are two components of Hear Clear.

Companding

Reduces the channel noise, such as 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.

78

English

Random 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 transportation. The fading effects, heard as audio pops and clicks, are canceled without affecting the desired audio signal.

The Random FM Noise Canceller operates only in receive mode.

Radio Inhibit

This feature allows the system administrator to put a radio into a non-functional state when the radio is missing or in an unknown hand. The radio stays in this state regardless of power changes, for example, battery removal.

NOTICE:

If the radio has Inter-system roaming capability, the system administrator is able to put the radio into a non-functional state when missing radio roamed to another system.

The radio can only be uninhibited by receiving an uninhibit command from the system administrator or reprogram the radio through labtool or depot CPS only.

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. 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.

79

English

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.

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.

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.

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.

80

English

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.

Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO

Conventional only)

This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call and selective call in conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peerlocation, the voice should be directly sent from one radio to another radio without passing through any infrastructure facility such as repeaters, phone, or DVRS system. Both the transmitting radio and receiving radio must be configured to enable them to send and/or receive the GPS coordinates. You can check with your nearest qualified technician for more details.

NOTICE:

If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed Mode channel, and the voice transmission is through the conventional ASTRO system then the radio can receive the location coordinates of its peers.

This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel or

Scan Talkback channel.

Upon receiving a voice transmission with GPS coordinates enabled on the receiving radio, the display shows the coordinates available in full or in short coordinates. There are two different formats available. Refer to the following list for the details shown in the Peer-Location quick text.

Consult your agent to pick the best format to configure to your radio.

Full location coordinates

• PTT ID (This is optional.)

• Longitude and latitude

• Relative distance or direction

Short location coordinates

• PTT ID (This is optional.)

• Longitude and latitude

81

English

NOTICE:

If the transmitting radio is stale at its location after a period of time, the receiving radio display shows

ID:<PTT ID> LKL: <Coordinates> <distance>

.

If the radio is not configured to show

PTT ID

, you see

LAST KNWN LOC: <Coordinates>

<distance>.

If the transmitting radio does not have GPS or the receiving radio could not decode the GPS signal of the received signal, the receiving radio display shows

ID:<PTT ID> UNK LOC

. The

PTT ID

seen here is optional to be shown on the display per requirement of usage.

During failsoft operation, your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency.

You hear a medium-pitched tone and the display shows

Pairing with Low Frequency-Motorola

Proximity Pairing (LF-MPP) Feature

Ensure that Bluetooth feature of your radio is on and the

Bluetooth tones are enabled.

Bluetooth tones, Bluetooth menu and preprogrammed buttons must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.

The range of Bluetooth operation when using a MCW accessory is 10 meters line-of-sight communication. This is an unobstructed path between the location of the signal transmitter (your radio) and the location of the receiver

(your device or accessory).

Obstacles that can cause an obstruction in the line-of-sight include trees, buildings, mountains, cars, and others.

For high degree of reliability, Motorola Solutions 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 reestablish clear audio reception.

NOTICE:

Once a COTS headset is paired to your radio, it is always connected. Therefore the battery life of the accessory is aligned with the Talk Time power consumption, not the Standby Time consumption.

Turn on the accessory. Then, place it close to the radio aligning the Bluetooth Pairing Location (a blue dot) on the radio to the Bluetooth Pairing Location (a blue dot) on the accessory.

If the pairing process is successful, you hear an incremental-pitched tone. The radio begins to connect to the device.
