Additional Performance Enhancement
The following performance enhancements are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of the radios.
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. Add Enhanced
Data to the Integrated Data system with a software installation to improve data channel efficiency and enable denser network traffic.
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.
Conventional Talkgroup and Radio Scan
Enhancements
A few enhancements have been made to the
Conventional Talkgroup at the system. These enhancements improve the Scan feature operation significantly when multiple agencies are using a
English
single conventional radio frequency channel. These enhancements allow users 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. These Scan improvements have been made to eliminate the audio holes that were present and to turn on the busy LED when activity is present on the channel. Mixed Vote Scan and Standard
Conventional Scan configurations are supported.
Priority Operation is also supported.
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 users from transmitting while other users are on the channel.
Note: User Selectable Talkgroups are not compatible with this Conventional Talkgroup Enhancement.
What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can
Tell You
Check with your dealer or system administrator for the correct radio settings, if the radio is to be operated in extreme temperatures (less than -30 °C or more than +60 °C), to ensure proper top and front display operation.
You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:
• Is your radio programmed with any preset conventional channels?
• Which buttons have been programmed to access other features?
• What optional accessories may suit your needs?

Man Down
Man Down condition is determined based upon the radio tilt angle or a combination of radio tilt angle and the lack of radio motion.
Man Down feature is an alternate way to activate the
Emergency feature if Emergency has been programmed in your radio.
Note: This feature could be preprogrammed for all channels that support Emergency feature or could be preprogrammed specifically to a zone and channel which has Emergency feature. Consult your agent or qualified technician for more details.
Your radio automatically activates Emergency Alarm or Call when the radio achieves or passes a tilt angle threshold or a combination of the angle threshold and radio motion below the motion sensitivity level, depending upon how the radio is programmed. The radio must stay in this condition for a preprogrammed
English amount of time before the Emergency Alarm or Call is activated.
Note: It is recommended that an Emergency button is preprogrammed in order to allow the user to exit the emergency condition.
The Man Down feature provides a Clear function to the user. After a Man Down condition has been detected, the user can press a preprogrammed Clear button or preprogrammed Menu Select button to cancel the Man Down condition. The radio remains in the Man Down state without triggering an emergency condition until the radio is moved out of the Man
Down state, at which point Man Down functionality resumes.
The Man Down feature has three phases:
1 The radio senses the Man Down condition and
Pre-Alert Timer is initiated.
2 Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Pre-Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, the radio alerts the user on the
Man Down status with an audible alert tone and
Man-Down text on the screen.Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Pre-
Alert Timer field. At the end of this time, the radio
alerts the user on the Man Down status with an audible alert tone and text on the screen. The
Post-Alert Timer also initiates at this point.
3 Man Down condition continues for the time duration defined in the Post-Alert Timer field. Once the timer expires, the Emergency alarm is transmitted. The Man Down Clear function is used in this phase to cancel the Man Down condition.
The following scenarios affect the timers:
• Pressing the PTT button suspends the Man Down timers; releasing the PTT button re-initiates the
Pre-Alert Timer.
• Pressing other buttons on the radio does not impact these timers.
• Repositioning the radio exits the Man Down feature, which stops and resets the timers.
• Pressing a preprogrammed Clear button or pressing a Menu Select button preprogrammed for Clear stops and resets the timers. The timers do not restart until the radio is repositioned.
Note: Emergency must be set up for this feature to operate. For details on operating the Emergency alerts, please see Emergency Operation on page 92.
If the radio is preprogrammed to horizontal only, it must be worn in a vertical position otherwise the Man
Down alert may be inadvertently triggered.
When the radio is programmed with Man Down feature, special care is required when charging the radio with a wall mounted charger. See Proper Ways to Handle the Radio on page 180 for details.
Pre-Alert Timer
This timer sets the amount of time that a Man Down condition must be present before the radio-user is warned of the Man Down condition.
When the radio detects that it has returned to the vertical position or when the radio detects motion, the
Pre-Alert timer stops and is reset.
The Pre-Alert timer reinitiates when the radio detects it is in the horizontal position or motionless again.
Post-Alert Timer
This timer sets the amount of time the radio needs to remain in the Man Down condition before the
Emergency alarm is transmitted.
See Exiting Man Down Feature on page 99 to exit
Man Down feature.

Radio Alerts When Man Down Feature is Triggered
The Man Down alert tone volume is directly related to the radio’s volume. Ensure that the radio’s volume is loud enough so that the user does not miss the Post-
Alert tone.
Note: If the radio is programmed with Silent
Emergency, the radio inhibits the alert tone and visual alert associated with the emergency feature.
If the radio is programmed in Surveillance Mode, the radio inhibits all tones and lights on the radio including the Man Down tones.
Triggering Emergency
When the user does not clear the Man Down condition and the Post-Alert Timer comes to an end,
Emergency Alarm or call is triggered. The radio sends emergency message to units within the same
Talkgroup. The radio also sends ID number and GPS coordinates to dispatcher if these features are enabled. User can exit Emergency following the
Emergency procedure. See Emergency Operation on page 92 for details.
Note: At this point the Man Down features is complete. Use normal Emergency procedures to cancel Emergency transmissions.
Radio Alerts When Man Down Enhanced is Triggered
Note: This feature is to be preprogrammed specifically to a zone and channel which supports
Emergency feature.
The volume and repetition duration of Man Down
Enhanced alert tone could be customized and preprogrammed to suite the required situation.
Consult your agent or qualified technician for more details.
When the radio initiates Man Down Enhanced, you hear the Critical Man Down Continuous alert tone from the radio speaker. The volume of this tone is set to the louder of the preprogrammed minimum level or the current radio speaker level. This acts as a beacon to find the radio.
Note: If the radio is programmed with Silent
Emergency, the radio inhibits the alert tone and visual alert associated with the emergency feature.
If the radio is programmed in Surveillance Mode, the alert tone can be heard from the radio speaker.
Once the alert tone is active, changing to another channel with different setup triggers a different response from the radio as described next.
English
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel without Emergency feature.
• The alert tone is inhibited when you change to a channel with Emergency but no Man Down feature.
• The current alert tone is inhibited and is replaced with a different alert tone when you change to a channel with Emergency and different Man Down configuration.
• The alert tone continues when you change to a channel with Emergency and similar Man Down configuration.
Exiting Man Down Feature
If you are not in a real Man Down situation, you should exit the Man Down feature and prevent emergency from going off with the following operation.
Perform one of the following actions:
• Repositioning the radio or shaking the radio
(when motion sensitivity is enabled).
• Press the preprogrammed Man Down Clear button to exit.
• Press the Menu Select button below Clr to exit.
Re-Initiating Man Down
After exiting the Emergency Operation when the radio is still in Man Down condition (tilted achieving threshold angle or motionless), user must first exit
Man Down condition to then reinitiate the Man Down feature.
Return the radio to the vertical position or shake the radio (when motion sensitivity is enabled).
Testing the Man Down Feature
Enable the Emergency feature with Silent Alarm disabled, but not in Surveillance Mode before running this test on the radio.
1 Turn the radio on and place in the vertical position, for at least 5 seconds.
2 Lay the radio down in the horizontal position.
3 Wait for alert tone.

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 two-way radios. Federal mandate requires
Two-Factor Authentication when querying Federal and State databases. With this advance messaging solution you have the ability enable Two-Factor
Authentication.
With Query and Two-Factor Authentication, you can use a secure system logon to initiate and receive key information on people, vehicles and properties when doing the regular security patrol. You can access to local or external databases such as the National
Crime Information Center (NCIC), for "Hot Hits" on
113
English
114 priors and warrants. Query and Two-Factor
Authentication has Criminal Justice Information
Services (CJIS) security compliance for queries.
With this Advanced Messaging Solution, ARS functionality splits between two protocols:
• ARS for Device Registration
• New User Authentication for User Login
TMS functionality splits between two protocols:
• TMS for messaging
• New Service Advertisement for service availabilities
The radio with Two-Factor capabilities are backward compatible with the existing device registration system and TMS servers.
System Setup for ASTRO Advanced Messaging
Solution
Your user name, unit ID and password all need to be provisioned in PremierOne ™ . Your user account in
PremierOne needs to be linked to an RSA account specifying a token to be used with the Two-Factor passcode.
English
The radios caches the user name, unit ID and or
Single Factor password in the codeplug, this allows the radio to automatically log in to use Single Factor authentication upon power up or mode change. The
Two-Factor passcode is not stored in the codeplug.
You can upgrade the Single Factor session to a Two-
Factor session by entering the Two-Factor passcode only. After an interruption (for example mode change,
DSR switch over, power loss), the radio is capable of restoring the active session in its current state as long as the session is active in the server.
Note: Power loss and power down are different activities, power down occurs when the user intentionally powers off the radio, power loss is when the battery dies or is removed from the unit.
Two-Factor Authentication
Two-Factor Authentication is an extension of existing
ARS and TMS operation. This feature allows you to authenticate yourself with a username, unit ID, password and passcode.
The purpose of this feature is to allow the sender of a text message to address a specific user of the radio, so the message is delivered to the user, not to the radio which may have any user using it at the time.
Secondly, this feature supports query authentication requirements so the query service knows which user originated a query.
You can still send text messages without logging in as a user. The user login feature only enables the recipient of your message to identify you as the sender by assigning a username to your message.
Note: A predefined username that is set more than the maximum allowed characters is an invalid name.
Logging in via the Two-Factor Authentication

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 or
MGRS format per request from customers. 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.
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 the location coordinates, 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
English
your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to:
• Underground locations
• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
• 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.
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: 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 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.
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 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 129

Peer-Location on the Display (ASTRO Conventional only)
This feature is only available for radio-to-radio voice transmissions, dispatch call , emergency call and selective call in conventional ASTRO system. For radio-to-radio transmission, in order to allow the radio to show peer-location, 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.
Note: If the receiving radio is operating in a Mixed
Mode channel, only if its voice transmission is via
conventional ASTRO system then it can receive the location coordinates of its peers.
This feature is also operable in a Scan Active channel or Scan Talkback channel.
When Scan is active, the receiving radio cannot show the coordinates on the display if PTT ID Display is configure to Disabled or
Dispatch . It only can show the coordinates display if the PTT ID is configure to Dispatch and Scan .
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 and direction.
Short location coordinates
• PTT ID (This is optional.)
• Longitude and latitude
Note:
If the transmitting radio is stale at its location after a period of time, the receiving radio display shows
ID:<PTT ID> Last Knwn Loc: <Coordinates> .
The ID:<PTT ID> and <distance> are optional details depending on the requirements of usage.
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> Unknown Loc . The PTT ID is optional to be shown on the display per requirements of usage.
Geofence (ASTRO 25 Trunking System)
Geofence is a virtual perimeter based on the GPS to define a geographical area on earth.
When the radio enters the predefined Geofence area, your radio receives the Dynamic Regroup command from the system and immediately connects to a
Dynamic Regroup talkgroup. The radio display shows the new selected Dynamic Regrouped talkgroup with green intelligent light for your attention.
On top of that, additional features are Voice
Announcement of the new channel, and also direct 137
English
content display of a text message to indicate that you are currently at Geofence area. Check with your nearest qualified technician on the requirements for these enhancements to work in Geofence.
Any new text messages received at Geofence shall have its content displayed immediately on the radio display.
Note: If the radio is set up in DVRS, only mobile radio is supported for this feature.
Entering the Geofence Area
The Voice Announcement and TMS display in this feature are optional. They must be configured to enable you to hear and see these indicators.
When the radio enters a Geofence area, the radio immediately sends a message ACK back to the system.
The radio searches the current zone for the channel with same talkgroup assigned as the Dynamic
Talkgroup and also with same system ID of current trunk system. Once matched, the radio display shows the first matched and connected channel alias.
138
English
If there is no channel with matched Talkgroup ID and trunk system ID, the radio display shows the channel alias of <DYNAMIC talkgroup> .
Once the radio is connected, you hear a dynamic regroup tone, the radio display shows <DYNAMIC channel> with temporary green color intelligent backlight and you hear a Voice Announcement.
Note: When the radio loss the GPS signal the GPS icon blinks and the radio sounds two high-pitched tones repetitively to indicate GPS fails to operate. The radio display shows red intelligent light.
Note: If the first matched channel is not configured with Voice Announcement, no Voice Announcement is played.
The system sends a message to your radio. The radio display shows a direct text message content without any user operation. This message indicates you are currently present in a Geofence area. This
TMS remains open on the display until user presses exit/home to exit this screen.
Note: If there is another incoming text message before you exit the previous message, the message screen shall be refreshed to show the latest message.
The following procedure guides you to exit the text message received.
Press the Menu Select button below Exit or to return to Home screen.
The other operations are same as normal dynamic regroup command.
When the radio exits the Geofence area, your radio reverts to original channel or newly assigned talkgroup. The radio display shows the new channel together with Voice Announcement to indicate the changes. Voice Announcement of the new channel only works if that channel is configured with Voice
Announcement.

The range of Bluetooth operation is 10 meters line-ofsight 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-ofsight include trees, buildings, mountains, cars and etc.
It is not recommended that you leave your radio behind and expect your accessory to work with a high degree of reliability when they are separated.
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 re-establish clear audio reception.
Note: 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 your radio aligning the Bluetooth Pairing Location ( ) 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.

Site Selectable Alerts (ASTRO 25)
A Site Selectable Alert (SSA) is an Intelligent Lighting indicator together with audio alert sent to radios at a site or a few sites to notify the users when there is a special situation that they need to be aware of. Only authorized radios are enabled to send SSA.
Upon the activation of a SSA, the receiving radios display the alert alias and generate the periodic alert tone.
Note: Alert alias, alert tone, and alert period can be preprogrammed. Alert period is the duration for the radio to repeat the alert tone. An interval of 5 seconds might impact the battery life of the radio. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more details.
When mixing SSA with received voice audio, the SSA alert is reduced in volume to ensure that the voice message is still heard clearly. Therefore, it is important that the SSA audio files are created with clear loud audio to ensure they can still be heard clearly when played at reduced levels.
