Important Safety Information
Product Safety and RF Exposure
Compliance
ATTENTION!
This radio is restricted to occupational use only to
satisfy FCC RF energy exposure requirements.
Before using this product, read the RF energy awareness
information and operating instructions in the Product
Safety and RF Exposure booklet enclosed with your radio
(Motorola Publication part number 6881095C98) to
ensure compliance with RF energy exposure limits.
For a list of Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and
other accessories, visit the following website:
http://www.motorolasolutions.com/APX
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may
only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or
lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the
antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than
that necessary for successful communication.
Before using this product, read the operating
instructions for safe usage contained in the
Product Safety and RF Exposure booklet
enclosed with your radio.

The following special notations identify certain items: Additional Performance Enhancement
The following are some of the latest creations designed to
enhance the security, quality and efficiency of your radio.
Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)
DSR ensures your 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.
Example Description
Home button
or H
Buttons and keys are shown in bold print
or as an icon.
Phone Menu entries are shown similar to the
way they appear on your radio’s display.
>This means “Press the right side of the
4-way Navigation button”.

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 your 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 your 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.
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 also consult your dealer or system administrator about
the following:
•Is your radio preprogrammed with any preset conventional
channels?
•Which buttons have been preprogrammed to access other
features?
•What optional accessories may suit your needs?
