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. The MDC OTAR feature will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel. Example Home button or H PHONE

(Using keypad mic) Additional Performance Enhancement The following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX mobile radios. 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. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 2 English Draft 1 What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can Tell You You can consult your dealer or system administrator about the following:

There are two components of Hear Clear. 1 Companding:
Reduces the channel noise, e.g. 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. 2 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 in a transportation. The fading effects, heard as audio pops and clicks, are cancelled without affecting the desired audio signal. The Random FM Noise Canceller operates only in receive mode. Note:
This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information. s e r u t a e F d e c n a v d A 82 English The 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. 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. Understanding the GPS Feature
The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location co-ordinates, 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 your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to:
In underground locations Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles Draft 1 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. 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 further away. 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:
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. Enhancing GPS Performance
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, please note 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 current distance and bearing in relation to another location. Radio location may be requested and reported over-the-air. Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces the oldest waypoints in the radio. A d v a n c e d F e a t u r e s 83 English Draft 1 The radio also stores four (4) preprogrammed waypoints. These coordinates cannot be deleted. Programmable Waypoints User-configurable location coordinates. Only the alias is editable, not the coordinates. Coordinates can be deleted one at a time, or all at once. Preprogrammed Waypoints Fixed location coordinates:
Home Emergency Last Known Location Destination The Home and Destination coordinates are editable. Coordinates cannot be deleted. Note:
If the feature inactivity timer is enabled, your radio automatically exits the feature when your radio is left idle long enough for the time to expire. You will hear the Menu Inactive Exit Tone upon feature exit. s e r u t a e F d e c n a v d A 84 English Accessing the Outdoor Location Feature

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel. The failsoft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone every nine seconds (radio unsquelched) until the trunking system returns to normal operation. To continue, in Failsoft, to communicate with other talkgroups, refer to the following procedure. Procedure:
1 Rotate the MFK to change to a different repeater frequency. 2 Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to listen. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation. Draft 1 Going Out-of-Range
OUT OF RANGE when your radio goes out of the range of the system, it can no longer lock onto a control channel. Procedure:
1 A low-pitched tone sounds. AND/OR The display shows the currently selected zone/channel combination and Out of range. 2 Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until:
It locks onto a control channel. OR It locks onto a failsoft channel. OR It is turned off. SmartZone
The SmartZone feature extends communications beyond the reach of a single-trunked site (antenna location) when operating in a SmartZone system. SmartZone units provide expanded wide-area coverage. SmartZone automatically switches the radio to a different site when the current site signal becomes unacceptable. This usually happens when the vehicle in which the radio is located is driven out of the range of one site, and into the range of another. Under normal conditions, a SmartZone-enabled radio functions invisibly to the operator. However, the operator does have some manual controls on the Control Head the RSSI menu entry. This button can be used to check, or change, the SmartZone operation. A d v a n c e d F e a t u r e s Using Site Trunking Feature
If the zone controller loses communication with any site, that site reverts to site trunking. The display shows the currently selected zone/channel combination and Site trunking. Note: When this occurs, you can communicate only with other radios within your trunking site. 91 English Draft 1 Viewing and Changing a Site

The announcement capability allows you to make announcements to the entire user group, as well as monitor talkgroup calls and other announcements. Announcement calls are handled in two different ways, depending on the trunked central controller configuration. The two types are called ruthless and non-ruthless preemption. Ruthless Preemption:
When a ruthless preemption announcement call is initiated, the requesting radio begins transmitting immediately. All associated talkgroup calls taking place on other channels are immediately halted, and the radios are steered to the announcement call. A d v a n c e d F e a t u r e s Transmitting radios continue to transmit until the PTT button is released, at which time they also unmute for the announcement call. Individual calls (Private Conversation and telephone interconnect) are not affected. Non-Ruthless Preemption:
When a non-ruthless preemption announcement is initiated, the initiating unit receives a telephone-type busy tone, followed by a call back when all associated talkgroup conversations end. Once an announcement call is pending, any attempts by other users to initiate a talkgroup call will result in a telephone-type busy tone. These users will not receive a call back until the announcement call is complete. 93 English Draft 1 Initiating an Announcement

A d v a n c e d F e a t u r e s Helpful Tips The following are suggestions to assist you in troubleshooting possible operating problems.
!
C a u t i o n The cables that connect to the rear of the radio could have live voltage on some of their pins. Do not remove or reconnect these cables. Only a qualified radio technician should perform this task. Service performed by unauthorized personnel may cause the radio to transmit an emergency alarm even if the unit is turned off. If your radio is locked up or the display shows FAIL 01/09, turn the radio off and then back on. If this does not correct the condition, take the radio to a qualified radio technician for service. If radio operation is intermittent, check with other persons using the system for similar problems before taking the radio in for service. Similar problems indicate a system malfunction rather than a radio failure. If symptoms persist or, if your unit exhibits other problems, contact a qualified radio technician. 109 English Draft 1 Notes s e r u t a e F d e c n a v d A 110 English Draft 1 Accessories For a list of Motorola-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following website:

For example, a fire truck could have a control head located in the cab and on the rear of the truck so that the radio could be operated from outside the vehicle. NOTE: The dual control head can be used together in the future. 6878215A01 1-14 Introduction Motorcycle Configurations 1.3 Motorcycle Configurations 1.4 NOTE: The motorcycle configurations are not applicable for 100W radios and O9 control heads. The ASTRO APX mobile motorcycle radio models provide most of the equipment needed for installing a standard ASTRO APX mobile radio on a motorcycle. Most of this radio system is standard equipment. See Chapter 5: Motorcycle Radio Installation for further information. Base/Control Stations NOTE: The base/control station option is not applicable for 100W radios and O9 control heads. If mobile radio equipment is installed at a fixed location and operated as a control station or as a fixed unit, the antenna installation must comply with the following requirements in order to ensure optimal performance and compliance with the RF energy exposure limits in the standards and guidelines listed in the 6881095C99 manual:
The antenna should be mounted outside the building on the roof or a tower if at all possible. As with all fixed site antenna installations, it is the responsibility of the licensee to manage the site in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements and may require additional compliance actions such as site survey measurements, signage, and site access restrictions in order to ensure that exposure limits are not exceeded. 1.5 Tools Required for APX Mobile Installations Tool Part Number 10 mm wrench 5 mm Allen wrench Rubber-coated pliers Regular slot screwdriver of Phillips #2 Pin removal tool RF antenna tool Wing screw torque tool 6680163F01 HLN6695_ HLN6970_ 6878215A01 Chapter 2 Standard Configurations 2.1 Planning the Installation The APX mobile radio operates only in negative ground electrical systems with a valid operating range of 10.8VDC to 16.3VDC. Before starting the radio installation, make sure that the ground polarity of the vehicle is correct. Accidentally reversing the polarity will not damage the radio, but will cause the cable fuses to blow. Planning is the key to fast, easy radio installation. Before starting the installation, inspect the vehicle and determine how and where you intend to mount the antenna, radio, and accessories. Plan wire and cable runs to provide maximum protection from inching, crushing, and overheating.

For additional radio functionality as determined by the programming of the ignition switch in CPS, refer to the HELP menu in your CPS (i.e. Ignition as:
Required, Blank, Soft Power Off, TX Inhibit, PTT TX Inhibit, Ignition Only Power Up). Choose a clean ignition point which is not shared in the immediate vicinity by other high current accessories/devices. This will help to reduce the transients on the ignition line. Examples of
high-current accessories/devices are: Air Horn, relays, lightbars and etc. It is recommended to wire to the vehicles ACC line, not the START or the solenoid side of the ignition circuit. Refer to chapter 6 for best installation practices. The Ignition sense (ACC) cable uses either a 3-amp fuse
(6580283E01) or 4-amp fuse (6580283E02). 2.1.3.1 Dash Mount: Power, Ignition, and Emergency Cable Installation The standard dash mount rear ignition sense cable HLN6863 contains a thin red ignition wire, a jumper wire that shorts emergency to ground, and two gray wires attached to an external speaker plug. The thin RED wire is the ignition sensed wire. Refer to Table 2-1, Table 2-2, or Table 2-3 for its correct wiring configurations. NOTE: This cable MUST be attached in order for the radio to operate in Dash mount, regardless of how emergency is programmed in CPS or wired inside the vehicle. Either the emergency jumper wire or an emergency accessory (footswitch or button) must be wired to the rear of the transceiver in Dash mount. Otherwise, upon attachment of the radios power cable to the vehicle battery, the radio will incorrectly determine that emergency operation has been activated, such as when an emergency footswitch is de-pressed and the emergency pin is ungrounded. 6878215A01 Standard Configurations Planning the Installation 2-15 2.1.3.2 Remote Mount: Power, Ignition, and Emergency Cable Installation The single control head O2, O5, O7 or O9 remote mount configurations receive power from the J200 connectors red and black wires. The yellow wire at J200 is one ignition sense wire. On mid power radios, the J2 and J600 connectors can also be used for ignition sense. On high power radios, the J200 yellow wire or the J600 connector can be used for ignition sense. If the HLN6863 is attached at J100 of the O2, O5, O7 or O9 control head, the thin red wire will NOT function as an ignition sense wire, since the J100 connector has no ignition sense electrical connection. NOTE: It is incorrect for installation to attach ignition sense at more than one wire or connector.
Refer to Table 2-1 or Table 2-2 for its correct wiring configurations. The O3 control head receives its power down the CAN cable, and detects the ignition state by the ignition sense pin at either J2 or J600. On mid power radios, the J2 and J600 connectors can also be used for ignition sense. On high power radios, only the J600 connector can be used for ignition sense. In Multi-Control Head installations, the yellow ignition wire must be connected to the head assigned ID # 1. See Section 2.2.2.5 Setting the Initial Control Head ID on page 2-29 for further information. In remote mount O2, O3, O5, O7 or O9, an Emergency jumper to ground is placed by default on the TIB (JU344) so that there is no need to attach a cable with an emergency accessory at either J2 or at J600. This jumper must be removed if an emergency accessory (footswitch or button to Ground) is installed at either J2 or J600 (or J626 on the accessory cable) locations. If the jumper JU344 is removed but no emergency accessory is installed, the radio will power-up incorrectly into emergency mode all the time. Refer to Figure 4-3 for details. The design of the control head is different compared to the transceiver, therefore it is also NOT necessary to attach HLN6863 at J100 to prevent accidental emergency operation. The control head uses an edge-detect, not a state-detect like on the transceiver, so mounting of HLN6863 is not mandatory. 6878215A01 2-16 Standard Configurations Planning the Installation Table 2-1.

Any optional inactivity time-out timer setting in CPS may delay the power off of the radio once Ignition sense is removed. 6878215A01 2-18 Standard Configurations Planning the Installation 2.1.5 Siren/PA Configuration/Programming The Siren/PA is shipped pre-wired for 100W operation. It can be rewired for 65W, 75W, or 130W power levels. To change to another power level, perform the following:
1. Open the Siren/PA connector cover to gain access to the two-connector speaker leads. Do not change the speaker common lead (pin 20). The other lead is connected to pin 35 (for 100W operation). 2. Using an appropriate pin removal tool, extract pin 35 and move it to one of the following pin locations:
- pin location 36 for 75W operation
- pin location 28 for 65W or 130W operation 3. For 65W or 75W operation, no further changes are required. Reassemble the connector. 4. For 130W operation, you must parallel two 11 speakers, each rated at 65W minimum. Proper phasing of the two speakers is important--when connecting two speakers in parallel, wire similar speaker terminals together to ensure maximum loudness and prevent
"deadspots." For example, if the terminals are marked "1" and "2", connect the terminals marked "1" together and connect those wires to one speaker lead. Connect the terminals marked "2" together and connect those wires to the other speaker lead.
!
C a u t i o n Before continuing, remember that under a high-line supply condition
(16.6V), up to 30% more power will go to the speaker(s) after reconfiguring for 130W operation. Do this only when your PA speakers are capable of handling the extra power. 5. When the Siren/PA is configured for dual speaker, 130W operation, it is necessary to remove a resistor and move two jumpers to set the correct power level. Remove the Siren/PA cover, and locate resistor R219 (0 ohm). This resistor should be removed for 130W operation. Locate jumpers JU100 and JU101. These jumpers should be installed for 130W operation. 6. Close and reconnect the Siren/PA connector cover. NOTE:Jumpers JU100 and JU101 do not affect the Siren output level. JU100 and JU101 compensate for the lower speaker load and the two speakers in parallel, by decreasing the gain U102-1. JU100 affects the radio PA level and JU101 affects the PA audio level. Pin locations of various power level configurations are listed in Table 2-5 Table 2-5.

C a u t i o n DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic mounting surface without first reinforcing the mounting surface; the weight of the radio may crack or break the mounting surface. DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where the radio could be partially submersed in water. This is especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned by spraying with water. If the radio sits in water for a length of time, moisture may seep inside the radio and damage the electronic components. DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically mounted radios. Remove any moisture immediately to prevent it from seeping down into the radio. Care must be taken to shield the control head (front and back) from direct exposure to pressurized water. The pressurized water from a hose, in most cases, is more severe than the stated test and conditions in typical environments. The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that will permit routing the RF antenna cable as directly as possible. NOTE: For optimum radio performance, orient the mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 2-22 or Figure 2-23 for mid power and Figure 2-24 for high power. For new or existing installations of all but 100W radios, use only the APX mobile trunnion, kit number HLN7002_except for APX 2500 and APX 4500 which shall use the trunnion with kit number HLN6861_. For new or existing installations of 100W radios, use only the APX mobile trunnion, kit numbers HLN7003_. RADIO FRONT APPLIES TO RADIOS IN DASH AND REMOTE INSTALLATIONS Figure 2-22.

Select the location to mount your radio on the transmission hump (see Figure 2-25) or under the dash (see Figure 2-26). NOTE: When mounting the trunnion on the transmission hump take care the transmission housing is not affected. Plan your installation ensuring enough room for the Accessory connector and cable in the back of the radio. 3. Using the trunnion mounting bracket as a template, mark the positions of the holes on the mounting surface. Use the innermost four holes for a curved mounting surface such as the transmission hump, and the four outmost holes for a flat surface such as under the dash. 4. Center punch the spots you have marked and realign the trunnion in position. 5. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the four self-drilling screws provided
(see Figure 2-25 and Figure 2-26). 6. Ensure that the plastic guides are aligned (horizontal) to the grooves of the trunnion. Slide the radio into the grooves until it snaps into place (see Figure 2-26). Table 2-6.

C a u t i o n The installation of this device should be completed by an authorized servicer or installer. Before making any holes in the trunk for radio mounting, check the vehicle manufacturer's user manual for restrictions (e.g. due to the gas tank location). For a remote mount installation, the transceiver may be mounted anywhere in the vehicle, provided that the installation location is safe, follows the cautions mentioned at the beginning of this section, and is accessible for servicing/maintenance as well as cabling. A typical mounting location recommended by Motorola is in the vehicles trunk. The trunnion provided may still be used to mount the transceiver, and the mounting process is the same as for the dash mount installation
(Section 2.2.1 on page 2-21). However, for 100W radios you must follow the procedure detailed below in Section 2.2.2.1. See Figure 2-10, Figure 2-11, Figure 2-13, or Figure 2-14 for a remote installation. 6878215A01 2-24 2.2.2.1 100W Radios Only Standard Configurations Radio Mounting NOTE: Cabling to the front of the radio (TIB) should not be completed with the handle opened as it is needed to be removed to close the handle. It is suggested that the cabling is to be attached to the front of the radio after the radio is assembled into the trunnion. 1. After selecting the mounting location, use the trunnion mounting bracket as a template and mark the positions of the holes on the mounting surface. 2. Center-punch the spots you have marked and realign the trunnion in position. 3. Secure the trunnion mounting bracket with the four self-drilling screws provided
(see Figure 2-27). 4. After the trunnion has been mounted in the vehicle using the screws provided, install the radio. Place the radio with the lock handle fully opened on the trunnion, oriented at least
10 mm in front of the rear catches. Push the radio towards the rear catches. The radio is lifted up slightly and then drops back down, flushed with the trunnion, and stops against the rear catches. Once this occurs, close the lock handle. Rotate the handle towards the top of the radio until it is locked in place. The key is not needed in the lock to close the handle, but is needed to reopen. The keys can only be removed from the lock when it is in the locked position. Figure 2-27. 100W Radio Mounting into Quick Release Trunnion 2.2.2.2 Remote Mount Control Head Installation Choose a mounting location for the radio, considering accessibility, and control and antenna cable lengths.

To assure optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, these antenna installation guidelines and instructions are limited to metal-body vehicles with appropriate ground planes and take into account the potential exposure of back seat passengers and bystanders outside the vehicle. NOTE: For mobile radios with rated power of 7 watts or less, the only installation restrictions are to use only Motorola approved antennas and install the antenna externally on metal body vehicles. For mobile radios with tuned power greater than 7 watts, always adhere to all the guidelines and restrictions in Section 2.4.1 below. 2.4.1 Selecting an Antenna Site/Location on a Metal Body Vehicle 1. External installation Check the requirements of the antenna supplier and install the vehicle antenna external to a metal body vehicle in accordance with those requirements. 2. Roof top For optimum performance and compliance with RF Energy Safety standards, mount the antenna in the center area of the roof. 3. Trunk lid On some vehicles with clearly defined, flat trunk lids, the antennas of some radio models (see restrictions below) can also be mounted on the center area of the trunk lid. For vehicles without clearly defined, flat trunk lids (such as hatchback autos, sports utility vehicles, and pick-up trucks), mount the antenna in the center area of the roof. Before installing an antenna on the trunk lid,
- Be sure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 85 cm
(33 inches) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety standards.
- Ensure that the trunk lid is grounded by connecting grounding straps between the trunk lid and the vehicle chassis.
!
C a u t i o n If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top. 4. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models. For all VHF and UHF models, the 1/4 wave antenna should be mounted only in the center area of the roof, not on the trunk lid, to assure compliance with RF Energy Safety standards. 5. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the radio. Route the antenna cable as far away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring. 6. Check the antenna location for any electrical interference. 6878215A01 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation 2-39 7. Ensure that any transmitting radio antennas on this vehicle are separated from each other by at least 3 feet (0.9 meter). See Figure 2-49. 8. The minimum distance between the antenna and the radio/accessories should be at least
3 feet (91.44 cm). NOTE: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, etc.) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver interference. 3 ft 3 ft3 ft 911 Figure 2-49. Multiple Antennas Separation 6878215A01 2-40 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation 2.4.2 Mini-UHF Connection To help aid in the installation of the radio antenna(s), there are labels indicating the frequency. The first is on the FCC label at the top of the radio which calls out the frequency and by using arrow points, which side the RF connector of the frequency is located at the back of the radio. The second is located at the back of the radio, next to the RF connector(s) (see Figure 2-50). To ensure a secure connection of an antenna cable's mini-UHF plug to a radio's mini-UHF jack, their interlocking features must be properly engaged. If they are not properly engaged, the system will loosen. Using a tool (pliers or wrench) will not overcome a poor engagement, and is not recommended. NOTE: Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector
(e.g., stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the housing opening and break). The mini-UHF connector tool (Motorola part number HLN6695_) is designed to securely tighten the antenna plugradio jack connection without damaging either the plug or the jack. Motorola recommends the following sequence to ensure proper attachment of the system
(see Figure 2-50 and Figure 2-51):

Mini-UHF Connection (As Shown on Mid Power) Coax Conductor Plug (Pin) Collar Pulled Back to Flange Flange Mini UHF Jack Cable Figure 2-51. Mini-UHF Connection (100W Radios Only) 1. Make sure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable. 2. Make sure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind. 3. Make sure that the mini-UHF jack is tight in the radio housing. 6878215A01 Standard Configurations Antenna Installation 2-41 4. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plugs pin fully into the radio jack, but do not engage the threads. 5. Ensure that the plugs and jacks interlocking features are fully seated. Check this by grasping the crimp on the cable jack, rotating the cable, and noting any movement. If the features are seated correctly, there should be NO movement. 6. Finger-tighten the antenna cable plugs collar onto the radios jack. 7. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible. 8. Slip the mini-UHF connector tool over the coaxial cable, using the gap between the tools legs
(see Figure 2-52). Then, slide the tool up onto the plugs knurled collar. Squeeze the two straight legs of the tool firmly together between your thumb and index finger and turn clockwise (as shown) to tighten the collar. It should take 1/4 turn or less. When you feel the tool slipping on the collar, the connection has been properly tightened. The tool can also be used to loosen a tight collar. NOTE: DO NOT use pliers or any other device to grip the tightening tool. It has been designed to allow you to achieve the proper torque on the collar without overtightening. Overtightening the collar can damage the connector and the radio. HLN6695_

(0.9 meters) away from any transmitting antenna, and the antenna must have a clear, unobstructed view of the sky for best performance. The length of the cabling must be taken into consideration before the installation is started. 2.4.4 GPS Connection To ensure a secure connection of the GPS antenna cable's SMA plug to a radio's SMA jack, the connector must be fully seated. If the connectors are not fully seated, the system will loosen. This should be done by hand to ensure excess force is not applied. GPS positions as shown in
Figure 2-54 and Figure 2-55 are located in different positions. The mid power radio has the GPS antenna connector on the back of the radio while the 100W radio has the antenna connector on the front of the radio. NOTE: Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector
(e.g. stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the housing opening and break). Figure 2-54.

C a u t i o n DO NOT ground the radio's speaker leads. This system has a floating speaker output
(DC voltage on both leads); damage to the audio circuit will result if either lead is grounded or if they are shorted together. The speaker kit includes a trunnion bracket that allows the speaker to be mounted in a variety of ways. With the trunnion bracket, the speaker can mount permanently on the mounting surface or in accessible firewall areas. The trunnion allows the speaker to tilt for best operation. Mount the speaker out of the way so that it will not be kicked or knocked around by the vehicle occupants. Mount the speaker as follows:
1. Use the speaker mounting bracket as a template to mark the mounting hole locations. 2. Use the self-drilling screws provided to fasten the trunnion. 3. Attach the speaker and fasten to the trunnion with two wing screws. 4. Route the speaker wires under the carpet or floor covering, or behind the kick panels. Be sure the wires are out of the way and will not be snagged and broken by the occupants of the vehicle. 5. Do not submerse the 2-pin speaker connector in water nor place this connector in an area that could have standing water. Dashboard Trunnion Bracket Firewall OR Figure 2-56.

You can disable the internal speaker of your radio by following the instructions below. Use the following procedure to disassemble your radio:
1. Unplug power, antenna, microphone and all accessories connections. If the radio is a remote-mount radio, disconnect the remote-mount control cable from the front of the transceiver. 2. Remove the four screws found on the control head with a Torx T-20 bit as shown in
Figure 2-57. Discard the screws. Figure 2-57. Removing the screws on the Control Head 3. Firmly grasp the front panel of the control head. Carefully remove the front housing assembly from the back housing assembly as shown in Figure 2-58. Note the position of the attached flex and do not pull on it excessively. Figure 2-58. Removing the Control Head 6878215A01 Standard Configurations Speaker 2-45 4. Put the control head face down on a clean, flat surface to avoid damaging it. Do not touch the o-ring on the back housing. 5. Carefully disconnect the speaker connector from the circuit board as shown in Figure 2-59. Figure 2-59. Disconnecting the Speaker Connector 6. Reattach the front housing assembly to the back housing assembly as shown in Figure 2-60. Make sure that the flex is returned to its original position and that the o-ring on the back housing assembly is not pinched. Figure 2-60. Reattaching the Control Head 7. Secure the front housing assembly back to the back housing assembly with four new screws using the Torx T-20 bit as shown in Figure 2-60. Apply 9 in. lbs. torque for each screw. 6878215A01 2-46 Standard Configurations Microphone Hang-Up Clip 2.6 Microphone Hang-Up Clip 2.6.1 Standard or O3 Control Head Hang-Up Clip The hang-up clip must be within reach of the operator(s) and close enough to the control head to prevent cable strain. Measure this distance before actually mounting the bracket. Since the bracket has a positive-detent action, the microphone can be mounted in any position. Use the hang-up clip as a template to locate the mounting holes. To avoid interference when removing the microphone, install the flathead screw in the top clip hole. Some microphone models require the grounding of the microphone clip in order for HUB operation to work correctly. Refer to the documentation that comes with your Motorola microphone model. NOTE: For multi-control head configuration where only one of the control heads has a microphone, the control heads without a microphone attached must have their HUB or Monitor pin
(J100-22) jumpered by a wire to GND (J100-1 or J100-14) for HUB operation to work. 2.7 RFID (Option) An APX mobile radio equipped with an RFID tag allows an alternate option for tracking the radio asset. Each RFID equipped radio has an RFID tag preprogrammed with the individual radios serial number (also found on the FCC label) as well as band and radio model information (see below for further info). RFID Tag Figure 2-61. RFID Location on Mid Power Radio RFID Tag Figure 2-62.

RFID Location on High Power Radio 6878215A01 2-48 2.7.1 RFID Reading Standard Configurations RFID (Option) To read an RFID tag using a UHF Gen 2 RFID reader (e.g. Motorolas MC9090-G), open an appropriate RFID read application, point the RFID reader at the tag and activate the reader's RFID antenna (e.g. pull Motorolas MC9090-G scanning trigger). RFID reader must be within 1 foot from tag in order to read. Two variables, Read Angle and Reader Orientation, aid in the distance needed to read and write to the RFID Tag. Read distance is independent of Tag Angle, but the reader should be as close to perpendicular to the tag as possible (Read Angle). As Read Angle increases past 60 degrees, read distance will begin to decrease; tag will become unreadable once Read Angle exceeds 90 degrees (see Figure 2-64 and Figure 2-66). RFID tag cannot be read through metal. The orientation of the reader (Reader Orientation) and the tag must be aligned to improve read and writability (see Figure 2-70).

URC is used to control high power switching peripherals, e.g. lightbar. URC works on all lightbars which can be controlled by power application. URC is connected to the transceiver's GCAI port. The URC design consists of a microcontroller and uses 10 relays to control the switching device. A separate ground for isolation exists between the relay and MCU sections, which is provided by the use of iCoupler from Analog Devices. Each relay is connected to an output with 15 A fuse. The maximum load allowed on each output is 12 A. Two cables, each with the maximum of 60 A, can be used to connect to the input connector at the bus bar. Each cable is connected with a 60 A circuit breaker. One-wire EEPROM is employed to enable GCAI to recognize the URC accessory ID. CPS can be used to program the relay patterns. When installing URC, make sure to plan the installation carefully and leave additional room in the front and rear of the box for cabling and accessory connections; and also to the sides of the radio so that you may access and install the trunnion screws. The recommended mounting location for URC is in the car trunk, either next to the transceiver or within the area not further than 4.5 m away from the transceiver. Ensure that sufficient cooling is provided. Do not cover URC with baggage, blankets, etc.
!
C a u t i o n Do not backfeed power into URC. 3.1 Universal Relay Controller Mounting The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location that permits routing the cable as directly as possible. NOTE: For optimum URC performance, orient the mounting trunnion as shown in Figure 3-1. Figure 3-1. Universal Relay Controller Orientation An adjustable trunnion, which allows a number of mounting positions, is supplied for mounting the URC. The installation must not interfere with the operation of the vehicle or its accessories. 3-2 Universal Relay Controller Installation Universal Relay Controller Mounting Install the URC as follows:
1. Use the URC trunnion as a template to mark the mounting holes;
drill 5/32" holes. If mounting on a plastic surface, use a metal backing plate. 2. Attach the trunnion bracket using all four 10 16" x 5/8" self-tapping screws provided. 3. Temporarily install the URC (adjust for proper viewing angle) and fasten it to the trunnion with two wing screws. Test the installation to ensure that the unit is securely locked in place.

Remove the cap nut of power cable gland assembly, and insert the power cable through the cap nut and neoprene seal in the cable gland body. Use power cable with either AWG 6 or AWG 8 only (recommended OD range of cable is 5.5 mm to 9 mm) that is able to withstand 80 A and 50 A respectively, to ensure water sealing of the controller. User can decide to install one or two power cables based on the requirements. The power cables (A+) are not supplied. 2. The loose end of the power cable with cable strip length 7.94 mm (5/16) is then placed on the power lug and secured down by a set screw. The cap nut is then reassembled with tightening torque 18 lb-in. 3. The other end of the power cable should be connected to circuit breaker (Motorola part number 40012006001) end which indicates "AUX" and then, to power supply on the other end which indicates "BAT", instead of connecting to power supply directly. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 to install the second power cable, if required. 5. If only one power cable is installed, it is recommended to cover the other side of the power cable gland with power cable gland seal with tightening torque 18 lb-in. 3.2.2 Ground Cable 1. Remove the cap nut of ground cable gland assembly, insert the ground cable through the cap nut and then reassemble the cap nut. Use ground cable with AWG 14 only (recommended OD range of cable is 2 mm to 4 mm) that is able to withstand 5 A. The ground cables (A+) are not supplied. NOTE: The ground is used to switch the relays, and not act as a ground to the actual device being controlled. 2. The loose end of the ground cable with cable strip length 7.94 mm (5/16) is then connected to a two-pin terminal block. Both pins on the terminal block are inter-connected and either pin can be used. The cap nut is then reassembled with tightening torque 7 lb-in. Power Cable Gland Figure 3-3.

Cable Gland Assembly with Gasket 1. Assemble the wires into the lightbar gasket retainer and lightbar gasket. The URC can support lightbars through control wires with outer diameter ranging from
1.52 mm to 3.77 mm (0.06 to 0.148), with wire gages ranging from AWG 12 20. 2. Each individual loose wire (prior to stripping off the wire jacket) needs to be inserted one at a time through the chassis. Ensure the lightbar wire is straight before inserting the wire into the chassis. Each wire is sealed individually by the radial gasket seal. When a thick wire (i.e. AWG 14 wire or wire OD > 2.90 mm) is inserted through the chassis, there is potential torn at the rubber gasket. Remove the rubber gasket residual and continue to the next step. 3. Thin wires 2.5 mm and below should be dressed into the retention feature using a black stick
(see Figure 3-5); thick wires above 2.5 mm should be routed above the retention feature. Strip off the wire until 7.94 mm (5/16) after the wire is inserted into the URC, and install the wire into respective lightbar terminal block. 4. Cover the lightbar gasket retainer's hole with seal, gasket and ground cable gland, if no wire is inserted.

The lightbar gasket should be replaced at each reassembly of the wire. NOTE: Use of other cable gages except as recommended in this manual may result in water intrusion. Any reassembly of wire needs a new lightbar gasket replaced. If the current loading for one wire is higher than 12 A, the wires should be splitted before being assembled to the URC system. Wires kit (PMKN4109_) is provided to ease installation of the URC. Incorrect use of the wires kit, e.g. improper connection at external loose end wires, may impact the robustness of the URC.
Remove the wires and gasket residual inside the URC after the wire installation, before closing the top housing of the URC. 3.2.4 O7/O9 to URC Cable The O7/O9 to URC cable (Motorola part number 3064153H02) can be assembled either before or after reassembling the top housing. Assemble the RJ45 port of the cable into the RJ45 connector on the URC and turn the locking collar instead of cable, 90 degrees to the right to ensure it is locked properly. After that, test whether the cable is locked properly or not by trying to pull out the cable. Figure 3-7.

C a u t i o n The radio is sold with correct accessory cables and jumpers in order to have emergency de-activated by default, regardless of the setting in CPS. However, if cables are not used, or if jumpers are removed without replacing with an emergency accessory button/switch at one of the accessory ports, the radio will power-up upon the application of A+. The display may not show an indication that the radio is on, and this can result in an incorrect operation of the radio as well as excessive current drain of the vehicles battery when the engine is off. 6878215A01 Options and Accessories Installation Remote-Mount Accessory Installation 4-3 4.2.1 Emergency Pushbutton or Footswitch Installation Mount the switch using the hardware that comes with the kit. Connect the button/switch wires to a ground pin and the emergency pin, removing the default jumper wire in the rear accessory cable. The button/switch will short the pins when in-active. When the button/switch is pressed, its contact opens, the emergency path is un-ungrounded and pulled-high inside the radio transceiver, and detected by the processor. If an emergency accessory is used at either (or both) J2 connector and J626 connector, all jumper wires, shorting emergency to ground, must be removed so button/switch press can be detected. In additional to removing the default jumper wires in accessory cables, you must also remove a jumper part on the printed circuit board of the TIB, in order for the button/switch to be detected. On the TIB PCB (both mid power and high power use the same TIB) a zero-ohm jumper is placed by default so that the radio does not go into emergency when no cable is attached at either J2 or J626 in remote mount configuration. This jumper part, JU344, must be removed if either or both J2 and J626 will have any type of emergency cable and button/switch attached. Otherwise, the processor will never see emergency become un-grounded. Figure 4-3. Emergency Jumper Removal in Remote Mount 1. Turn-off power to the radio system. 2. Detach the TIB from the radio transceiver. 3. Detach the TIB flex. 4. Remove TIB PCB from the plastic housing using TORX T10 screwdriver.

Once a cable is plugged into this 2.5 mm jack, the external speaker attached at the control head will turn mute. 6878215A01 4-6 Options and Accessories Installation Vehicle Interface Port Overview 4.2.8 USB Data Cables It is recommended that the USB 1.5 meter data cable HKN6163_ is used for both dash mount configurations (at J2 connector) and for remote mount configurations (at J100 connector). This is because the HKN6163_ has the emergency jumper present, which is necessary for correct dash mount configurations. For interfacing at the MMP port, use Cable HKN6184_ which is a USB device cable. The USB 4 meter (15 feet) data cable enable HKN6172_ is recommended for remote mount configurations only (at J100). If the customer intends to use the HKN6172_ for dash mount configurations (at J2), the cables
26-pin connector must be opened and an emergency jumper-wire placed across pins 14 and 15. Refer to Figure 4-1. 4.2.9 RS232 Cables The following are RS232 cables. Although not compatible with CPS radio reading or programming, they can be used for interfacing with RS232 accessories or RS232 computer programs. HKN6122_ is an RS232 serial COM port computer interface cable from J600 connector. HKN6160_ is a 6 feet dash RS232 cable from J2 connector. HKN6161_ is a 20 feet dash RS232 cable from J2 connector. HKN6183_ is a 4 meter cable from MMP connector. Vehicle Interface Port Overview The Vehicle Interface Port (VIP) allows the control head to operate outside circuits and to receive inputs from outside the control head. There are three VIP outputs which are used for relay control. There are also three VIP inputs which accept inputs from switches (remote mount only). 4.3 Function Radio Pin VIP Cable

(J2), as shown in Figure 2-10, Figure 4-12 and Figure 4-13, respectively. Use these connections to wire control relays. One end of the relay should connect to switched B+ voltage, while the other side connects to a software controlled ON/OFF switch inside the control head. The relay can be normally on or normally off depending on the configuration of the VIP outputs. There are three VIP output connections, as follows:
Table 4-1. VIP Output Connections J400 J2 J100 VIP OUT #

Typical applications for VIP outputs are external horn/lights alarm and horn ring transfer relay control. For further information on VIP outputs, see the control head programming manual. VIP OUT 1 and VIP OUT 2 can be accessed from either J100 or J400 connectors. This is to allow a previously wired VIP OUT at J2 to move easily to J100. However, when any cable is inserted into J400, J100 VIP OUTs are disabled. When installing relays to the VIP OUT lines, a diode is necessary to prevent damage to the transistor or MOSFET, due to back EMF when the field collapses on the relay coil. Some vendor relays already come with this diode built-in, and other relays require the customer to install it. Figure 4-8 shows the proper placement of the diode across the relay coil. The transistor or MOSFET is located inside the radio or the D.E.K. box. G D S SW B+
VIPout Protection Diode Relay N.C. N.O. Note:
To 'activate' a VIPOUT, you have to ground the VIPOUT, such that the current now flows thru the relay coil to GND through a MOSFET inside the radio or control head, which causes the relay wiper to toggle. The MOSFET of a VIPOUT should never be used to directly drive an accessory. The MOSFET should be used to control an external relay. Figure 4-8. Relay Coil NOTE: See Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering to order relays for your VIP OUT applications. Example relay hardware: TLN4533_ (relay without internal diode), HLN6969_ (relay with internal back EMF protection diode), and HKN4258_ (relay wiring cable). 6878215A01 4-8 Options and Accessories Installation Vehicle Interface Port Overview 4.3.2 VIP Input Connections The VIP input pins are only available on the back of the control head (remote mount). These connections control inputs from switches. One side of the switch connects to ground while the other side connects to a buffered input on the control head. The switch can be normally closed (NC) or normally open (NO) depending on the configuration of the VIP inputs. There are three VIP input connections, as follows:

NOTE: The Three-Day Secure Key Retention Option is not applicable for APX 2500/APX 4500. 6878215A01 Chapter 5 Motorcycle Radio Installation NOTE: The motorcycle radio installation is not applicable for 100W radios, APX 4500 radios and O9 control heads. 5.1 Motorcycle Radio Description The motorcycle model includes all the same components in the standard radio, with the exceptions listed in the model charts in the APX Mobile Basic Service Manual (6875964M01). The following paragraphs describe the unique items provided with the motorcycle models. NOTE: The APX Mobile Basic Service Manual (6875964M01) includes complete parts lists and parts numbers for all parts shown in the exploded views in this chapter.
A small label is included with the motorcycle radio, which can be placed on the radio to identify it as a motorcycle radio. The label should be placed on a flat and protected area to avoid damage during handling. See Figure 5-1. Figure 5-1. Identification of a Motorcycle Radio by Using a Label 5.1.1 Transceiver Enclosure The transceiver is mounted in the weather-resistant enclosure that consists of a bottom housing and a hinged top cover. The top cover has a locking latch that requires a key to open. The enclosure is mounted above the rear motorcycle wheel, oriented so that the lock is forward and the hinged cover opens toward the rear of the motorcycle. The bottom housing has a grommeted hole for cable entry and weep holes to permit water drainage. The enclosure is mounted on the motorcycle with a universal mounting plate and shock and vibration isolators. A large, braided ground-strap (installed between the mounting plate bolts and the motorcycle frame) grounds the transceiver. 5.1.2 Control/Display Unit All radio functions, except push-to-talk (PTT), are activated from the control head, which also is weather-resistant. The control head and the external speaker are mounted for easy access near the center of the handlebars. The control head is positioned for unobstructed viewing, and it may be tilted on the horizontal axis for ease of viewing. The microphone cable port on the front of the control head is plugged and is not used. 5-2 Motorcycle Radio Installation Motorcycle Radio Description 5.1.3 Control Head Cable The control-head cable connects the control head to the transceiver. The cable is routed along the motorcycles frame and has weather-resistant connections at both ends. Excess cable is coiled under the transceiver inside the weather-resistant enclosure. Each end of the cable is strain-relieved with jackscrews at the control head and the transceiver.
The cable is shielded to reduce the effects of radio frequency interference and ignition sense noise. 5.1.4 Microphone A weather-resistant, palm microphone and coiled cord plug into a pigtail connector on the control cable. The microphone attaches to a hang-up bracket located within easy reach of the motorcycle rider. The coiled cord is long enough to be operated by someone standing next to the motorcycle, yet short enough to not interfere with the motorcycles steering or operation. 5.1.5 Keypad Mic The Mobile Keypad Microphone (Mic) is a full keypad handheld microphone. The keypad on this microphone is intended to assist in navigating through the menus on its parent device, as well as entering information such as phone numbers and menu picks. 5.1.6 External Speaker A 3.2-ohm, 10-watt-rated-audio-power, external speaker is mounted on the front of the motorcycle. The speaker cable is routed along the motorcycle frame to the transceivers rear accessory connector. A sealed, weather-resistant, speaker-muting (toggle) switch is mounted on top of the speaker. The external speaker connects to the rear accessory connector of the transceiver. 5.1.7 Headset Capability The motorcycle radio is compatible with headset accessories that would provide hands-free operation of the radio. Motorola does not manufacture headset equipment, but provides the interconnection for headset equipment with the motorcycle radio. Aftermarket headset equipment is available through Motorola (see Appendix A: Replacement Parts Ordering).
!
C a u t i o n To avoid possible injury to hearing, the audio setting in the mobile radio MUST be confirmed, if the Motorola mobile radio is used with any motorcycle helmet headset. See CPS Help for details. 5.1.8 Antenna 5.1.9 The antenna(s) are mounted on top of the transceivers weather-resistant enclosure.
The enclosures metal lining acts as the antennas ground plane. Ignition Sense (ACC) Wire The ignition sense wire connects to the motorcycles fuse box and is routed along the motorcycle frame to the transceivers rear accessory connector. The radio is wired so that transmission is inhibited if the motorcycles ignition sense switch is off.
If the PTT switch is pressed with the ignition sense off, a low-frequency tone sounds. The receiver is controlled by the control head on/off switch. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installation Overview 5-3 Installation Overview 5.2 5.2.1 General All APX mobile radios are tested and inspected before shipment. It is, however, suggested that the transmitter frequency, deviation, and power output be checked at the time of installation. It is the license holders responsibility to ensure that the operating parameters of his station comply with applicable laws governing radio communications equipment. For tests and alignment procedures, refer to the appropriate service manual (refer to Related Publications on page vi). Generally, the installation of the motorcycle radio takes place in the following parts:
Mounting the universal mounting plate and related hardware at the rear of the motorcycle;
Mounting the control head, speaker, microphone, and related hardware forward on the motorcycle;
Routing the power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition sense cable to the weather-resistant enclosure;
Mounting the weather-resistant enclosure and radio chassis, and connecting the cables;
Mounting the antenna(s) to the weather-resistant enclosure. A universal mounting plate, supplied by Motorola, is first mounted to either a motorcycle carrier at the rear of the motorcycle or to the rear frame of the motorcycle itself. The mounting procedures for the universal mounting plate vary from motorcycle to motorcycle. Therefore, the procedures given in this manual for installing the mounting plate may not specifically apply, but are provided for guidance. The control head, speaker, and microphone are mounted forward on the motorcycle, on or near the steering column. There are several possible mounting configurations which use a combination of Motorola and customer-built brackets. These configurations are outlined in this manual. Because of the large number of motorcycle makes and models in existence, the customer-built brackets are necessary to tailor the mounting of the Motorola equipment to the particular motorcycle being used. Suggestions for customer-built brackets are given in this manual. The power cable, control-head cable, speaker cable, and ignition sense cable are routed to the weather-resistant enclosure position. The enclosure and the radio chassis are then mounted. Special care is required when connecting cables to the radio equipment within the enclosure. 6878215A01 5-4 5.2.2 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installation Overview Important Installation Hints Consider the following when mounting the radio components:
Excess lengths of control-head, power, ignition sense, and speaker cables must be routed in the enclosure as shown in Figure 5-16. All components must be mounted securely in order to withstand the constant and sometimes severe vibration experienced on a motorcycle. No cantilever action, which could cause severe vibration, should be generated in the mounting hardware. The control head and microphone must be placed for ease of accessibility by the motorcycle operator. Forward components (control head, microphone, and speaker) should not interfere with visual or physical access to controls and instruments. Forward components should not interfere with the handling of the motorcycle. Cabling between the control head and the radio chassis should be run to minimize interference with operator movements. The weather-resistant enclosure should be placed to avoid any interference with the motorcycle operator. Electrical continuity must be present through the enclosure shock mounts to the motorcycle frame for proper electrical and RF grounding. The antenna(s) are designed for mounting on the top of the weather-resistant enclosure. Only the supplied microphone mounting clip should be used to ensure secure mounting of the microphone. This clip has a very strong spring to ensure positive retention of the microphone over rough terrain. Also, there must be electrical continuity from this clip to the motorcycle frame for DC grounding. Direct access to the microphone should be provided from both sides of the motorcycle. Sufficient slack in the microphone coiled cord should be allowed so as not to impede steering. Mounting hardware must be stainless steel to prevent corrosion. If an extra length of cable is used to extend the microphone, ensure that the added capacitance does not interfere with the operation of the radio. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installation Overview 5-5 5.2.3 Parts Identification The following installation procedures refer to Figure 5-2 through Figure 5-17. Detailed descriptions of the mounting hardware used in each procedure are provided in parts lists located in the exploded views located in the APX Mobile Basic Service Manual (Motorola publication part number 6881096C73). Those parts supplied by Motorola are contained in one of the following kits:
Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Microphone Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Speaker with Mute Switch Motorcycle Weather-Resistant Speaker with Keypad Mic Motorcycle Hardware Kit SECURENET or Motorcycle Hardware Kit Motorcycle Power Cable Kit Motorcycle Mounting Kit Weather-Resistant Enclosure (Black) Antenna 5.2.4 Order of Installation Before starting the installation, familiarize yourself with the mounting hardware (see Figure 5-2 through Figure 5-17). Perform the installation procedures in the order that follows. Install the universal mounting plate on the motorcycle. Install the control head and speaker. Install the microphone hang-up clip. Install antenna base and cable onto enclosure. Install the cables. Install the weather-resistant enclosure on the universal mounting plate. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Route the cables inside the weather-resistant enclosure. Install the transceiver in the weather-resistant enclosure. 8. 9. Install the antenna(s) on the enclosure. 6878215A01 5-6 5.3 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Universal Mounting Plate Installing the Universal Mounting Plate The universal mounting plate, supplied with the motorcycle radio, must be mounted on the motorcycle first. It provides the base on which the weather-resistant enclosure is to be mounted.
The method used for mounting the plate depends on the make and model of the motorcycle and whether the plate is mounted to a carrier or to the motorcycle chassis. After the plate has been securely mounted to the motorcycle, mounting the weather-resistant enclosure onto the plate is straightforward. Figure 5-2 illustrates the universal mounting plate mounted to a motorcycle carrier. Since there are so many makes and models of motorcycles and motorcycle carriers, it is impossible to give specific step-by-step instructions for mounting the universal mounting plate. However, noting the following considerations will aid in the installation procedure. A minimum of holes are predrilled into this plate as supplied. Mounting holes must be drilled as required for the particular motorcycle on which the plate is being mounted. The universal mounting plate should be mounted on the motorcycle in such a manner that the later mounting of the weather-resistant enclosure will not interfere with the motorcycle seat back, with any other obstacles, or with the motorcycle operator. The enclosure may be temporarily bolted to the universal mounting plate and the unit positioned on the motorcycle to ensure the above criteria are met. To ensure a good grounding path from the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle carrier or frame, stainless steel lock washers must be used with the mounting hardware in two areas to score through the paint on the universal mounting plate and on the carrier or frame, thereby, providing good electrical contact with the underside of the motorcycle carrier or motorcycle frame. Figure 5-2. Universal Mounting Plate Installation (Part of Radio Enclosure Kit) Follow the procedures below to mount the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle
(see Figure 5-2). 1. Determine the mounting position for the mounting plate. 2. Determine whether stainless steel spacers are required for clearance in mounting the plate. 3. Drill four 9/32-inch holes in the mounting plate and the corresponding motorcycle carrier or chassis for mounting the plate. 4. Attach the universal mounting plate to the motorcycle using four machine screws, eight lock washers, and four nuts. Tighten screws securely. The lock washers must cut through the paint on the plate and motorcycle carrier or frame to ensure a good ground path. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5-7 5.4 Installing the Speaker and Control Head NOTE: To disable the internal speaker of the O2 Control Head, please refer to Section 2.5.1: Internal Speaker Disassembly on page 2-44. The control head mounting location and configuration is determined largely by the make and model of motorcycle. Two different mounting configurations are described below. One involves mounting the speaker and control head together as a unit using the combination speaker/control-head bracket
(shown in Figure 5-4) supplied by Motorola. Alternately, the control head may be mounted by itself using a smaller control-head bracket supplied by Motorola. In this case, the speaker is mounted elsewhere. This section outlines installation procedures for each configuration mentioned above. The customer (or installer) is in the best position to determine the most appropriate mounting configuration for the control head and speaker based on the particular motorcycle on which the equipment is to be mounted.
!
C a u t i o n When determining its location, position the control head so that it is clearly visible and within easy reach of the motorcycle operator. Figure 5-3. Motorcycle Control Head Cabling (3075217A01) 6878215A01 5-8 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5.4.1 Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together Figure 5-4 illustrates the combination speaker/control head bracket. This combination bracket is used only when the control head and speaker are to be mounted as a unit. Also illustrated in Figure 5-4 is a handlebar-mounting bracket which may be required if the combination speaker/
control-head bracket cannot be easily mounted to the motorcycle. In this case the
handlebar-mounting bracket is mounted to the motorcycle, and the combination bracket is then mounted to the handlebar-mounting bracket. Figure 5-4. Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5-9 Provision has been made on the combination speaker/control-head bracket for mounting the microphone hang-up clip. If that mounting is desired, the hang-up clip must be attached to the bracket before installing the control head and speaker. See Section 5.6: Installing the Microphone Hang-Up Clip on page 5-14 for the hang-up clip procedure. Install the speaker and control head as described below. 1. Determine the location where the speaker/control head is to be mounted. Consider how the speaker/control-head bracket may be mounted, and whether or not a handlebar-mounting bracket is needed. Take care to select a location that is not only mechanically convenient, but is located for ease of operation. NOTE: The angle at which the handlebar-mounting bracket or the speaker/control-head bracket is mounted to the motorcycle determines the firing angle of the speaker. If the handlebar-mounting bracket is needed, install it first. 2. 3. Mount the speaker/control-head bracket, either directly to the motorcycle, or, if used, to the handlebar-mounting bracket, using four stainless-steel machine screws, lock washers, and nuts. 4. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the speaker/control head bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions appear later in this section.) 5. Mount the speaker on the speaker/control-head bracket, using two machine screws and lock washers. Torque these screws to 20 in-lbs. 6. Attach the control-head cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on the connector. This connection must be made before you mount the control head in the bracket.
(Cable routing directions appear later in this section.) 7. Mount the control head to the bracket, using two machine screws, lock washers, and flat washers. 8. Adjust the control head viewing angle by loosening its mounting screws and rotating the control head to the desired angle. Then, retighten screws to 20 in-lbs torque. This concludes the speaker/control-head installation. 5.4.2 Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together Some motorcycles provide a console for mounting radio equipment. This console is attached to the top of the fuel tank. With the use of a mounting bracket, screws, nuts, and lock washers, the combination speaker/control-head bracket can be mounted to this console. Figure 5-5 illustrates this type of mounting. The console attachment screws must be removed, and the console must be lifted slightly from the fuel tank to gain access in order to attach mounting hardware, and to route cables later. In this installation, the microphone (mic), mic hang-up bracket, and mic extension bracket will interfere with handlebar travel. Installation using this method is the same as in Section 5.4.1: Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together on page 5-8. 6878215A01 5-10 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head Figure 5-5. Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together f 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5-11 5.4.3 Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately It may be necessary to use the smaller control head bracket (part number 07-80127N02) and mount the speaker and microphone hang-up clip in another location on the motorcycle. Before installing the control head using the bracket described above, the control-head end of the control-head cable should be temporarily fastened to the control head, and the control head fastened to its bracket. Motorola-supplied spacers and the mic-cable bracket are required to mount the control head to the handlebar. This mic-cable bracket has holes to mount the microphone-cable connector. Follow these procedures when mounting the smaller control-head bracket:
1. Determine the location at which the control head is to be mounted. Take care to choose a location that is not only mechanically convenient, but is located for ease of operation. 2. Securely mount the Motorola-supplied spacers, mic-cable bracket, and small control-head bracket to the handlebars. 3. Mount the 9-pin D-connector end of the motorcycle control-head cable to the mic-cable bracket, using two machine screws, flat washers, and nuts. (Cable routing directions appear later in this section.) 4. Attach the control-head end of the cable to the control head and tighten the locking screws on the connector. 5. Mount the control head to the small control-head bracket, at the proper viewing angle, using two wing screws. Tighten firmly. This concludes the control-head installation. 6878215A01 5-12 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head Figure 5-6. Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately 5.4.4 Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately The control head may be mounted to the fuel tank console using the smaller control-head bracket and spacers/hardware. In this configuration, the microphone cable connector may be attached directly to the console, eliminating the need for a custom bracket. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker and Control Head 5-13 Figure 5-7. Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately Installation is the same as detailed in Section 5.4.2: Fuel Tank Console Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Together on page 5-9 and Section 5.4.3: Handlebar Installation with Speaker and Control Head Mounted Separately on page 5-11. 6878215A01 5-14 5.5 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing the Speaker Installing the Speaker NOTE: To disable the internal speaker of the O2 Control Head, please refer to Section 2.5.1: Internal Speaker Disassembly on page 2-44. Use the following procedure when the speaker is mounted separate from the control head. The speaker bracket supplied with the speaker may be used alone if a suitable location can be found, or if necessary, a customer-supplied bracket may be fabricated for mounting the speaker. 1. Determine the location in which the speaker is to be mounted and whether there is a requirement for a customer-supplied bracket. 2. Fabricate a bracket if required. Use the Motorola-supplied speaker bracket as a template for drilling mounting holes. Also drill holes in the fabricated bracket for mounting to the motorcycle. 3. Mount the fabricated bracket to the motorcycle chassis. 4. Mount the Motorola-supplied bracket to the fabricated bracket using two machine screws, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts. 5. Mount the speaker to the speaker bracket using two wing screws. Directions for speaker cable routing appear later in this section. Speaker mounting is now complete. 5.6 Installing the Microphone Hang-Up Clip Install the hang-up clip either on the supplied microphone extension bracket or on the side of the speaker/control head bracket. Both methods are shown in Figure 5-4. Determine the mounting location and install as described in the following paragraphs. NOTE: Wherever the hang-up clip is mounted, it must be DC grounded for proper operation. After mounting the clip, be sure there is electrical continuity between the clip and the motorcycle chassis. 5.6.1 Extension Bracket Mounting Using this method, you can mount the clip so that it faces the operator. 1. Attach the bracket to the speaker/control-head bracket using two machine screws, four lock washers, and two nuts as shown in Figure 5-4. 2. Torque nuts to 20 in-lbs torque. 3. Fasten the hang-up clip to the extension bracket using two machine screws, lock washers, and nuts as shown in Figure 5-4. 4. Torque nuts to 20 in-lbs torque. 5.6.2 Speaker/Control Head Bracket Side Mounting Attach the hang-up clip to the left side of the speaker/control-head bracket using two machine screws, lock washers, and nuts as shown in Figure 5-4. Torque nuts to 20 in-lbs. torque. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing Antenna Base and Cables 5-15 5.6.3 Other Hang-Up Clip Mounting To mount the microphone hang-up clip in another location, a customer-supplied bracket may be used. Suggested locations include the handlebars, fuel-tank console, or any location which provides easy access to the microphone without blocking controls and indicators and without interfering with motorcycle handling. See Figure 5-5, Figure 5-6, and Figure 5-7 for alternative microphone hang-up clip mounting methods. 1. Fabricate a bracket, then secure it to the motorcycle. 2. Use two machine screws, lock washers, and nuts to secure the hang-up clip to the customer-supplied bracket. Ensure that the microphone clip is DC grounded to the motorcycle chassis (a grounding lug and strap are provided in the hang-up clip kit for this purpose) this is essential for proper radio operation. 5.7 Installing Antenna Base and Cables NOTE: Antenna hole placement and cable routing in 7/800, VHF and UHF antenna manuals are not applicable for the APX Series.
The GPS antenna assembly must be done after the removal of the metal liner but before reinstalling the APX Series liner. 1. Open the top cover of the weather-resistant enclosure. 2. Uninstall the metal liner that is shipped attached to the weather-resistant enclosure. This liner has one depressed area at the top of the enclosure liner just toward the rear of the enclosure. This metal liner is not used with APX Series products. 3. Place the metal liner with two round, depressed areas toward the enclosure hinge and 5/8 hole near the front of the housing, inside the top cover, and align the six slots in the metal liner with the screw holes in the top housing. 4. The metal liner of the enclosures top cover acts as a ground plane for the antenna. 5. Locate the two round, depressed areas about 3 inches in diameter in the metal liner near the enclosure hinge. Referring to Figure 5-8, these areas are either Band 1 or Band 2 depending on the antenna port they align to. Refer to band markings on radio for the proper antenna port location. For the GPS antenna, use the 5/8 hole near the front of the housing near the lock.

These holes in the metal liner is used as a template to mark the position of the hole(s) to be drilled at the top cover. Follow the below guidelines for the various options.
- Single Band Refer to your APX radio (see Figure 5-9 or Figure 5-10) and see if your
single band antenna is in the position of Band 1 or 2. Depending on which location your antenna port is mark a hole in the appropriate antenna position only. Refer to Figure 5-8.
- Dual Band Mark a hole in both the Band 1 and Band 2 Antenna position as seen on Figure 5-8.
- GPS Mark a hole in the GPS Antenna position as seen on Figure 5-8. Antenna Band Label Band 2 Antenna Port Band 1 Antenna Port GPS Antenna Port Antenna Port Figure 5-9. Antenna Band Identification GPS Antenna Port Figure 5-10. APX 2500/APX 4500 Antenna Band Identification 7. Remove the metal liner from the top cover. 8. For Band 1 and Band 2 positions, use the Motorola RPX-4378A Hole-Cutting Saw or equivalent, and carefully drill a 3/4-inch hole at the marked location from the inside of the cover until the saw bottoms out. For the GPS carefully drill a 9/16-inch hole at the marked location from the inside of the cover until the saw bottoms out. The saw should clean a neat circle to assure good contact between the antenna and the housing. IMPORTANT:
For proper seating of the antennas, deburr and scrape any foreign matter from both sides of the hole, being careful not to mar the finish of the shell. 9. Clean the mounting surface around the hole to remove dirt and wax. 10. Refer to the Motorcycle GPS Instruction Manual for further installation instruction for the GPS. GPS must be mounted before the APX metal liner is installed. 11. Reinstall the APX metal liner (see Figure 5-8) with the cable clamps provided in the weather-
resistant housing. If installing GPS, the GPS coaxial cable must be fed through the hole in the APX metal liner before the liner can be placed onto the housing. Then route the GPS Coaxial Cable through the cable clamps before tightening the hex screws as installing the cable after that is difficult due to the connector. See Figure 5-11 for GPS Cable Routing. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Installing Antenna Base and Cables 5-17 Cable Clamp Coaxial Cable Figure 5-11. Routing the Coaxial Cable for GPS Connector 12. Attach the 7/800, VHF or UHF antenna base per Antenna Installation Manual. IMPORTANT:

Antenna Placement and Cable Routing as described inside the Antenna Installation Manual is not applicable for the APX radio series. Refer to information listed below. Connect the appropriate antenna connectors to the antenna receptacles on the radio. Tighten the coupling until fully engaged. Cable Routing Five cables must be installed to interconnect the components of the radio system as shown in Figure 5-14. The antenna cable is routed away from the other cables inside the enclosures hinged cover (see Section 5.7 on page 5-15). The four remaining cables, routed along the motorcycle frame, are described in the following paragraphs. NOTE: Antenna Hole Placement and Cable Routing information in the Antenna Installation Manual is not applicable to the APX series.
Removal of the fuel tank and seat from the motorcycle will facilitate routing the cables along the frame. Motorcycles with consoles attached to fuel tanks require routing cables between console and fuel tank. In this case the tank is not removed. 6878215A01 Motorcycle Radio Installation Cable Routing 5-19 CONTROL HEAD CABLE SPEAKER/

Weather-Resistant Enclosure Installation 1. Remove the radio-mounting plate by removing four screws, lock washers, and flat washers. 2. The weather-resistant enclosure is mounted to the universal mounting plate using shock mounts. Assemble the shock-mount components exactly as shown in Figure 5-15. Be sure to install ground straps between the shock-mount and the transceiver trunnion mount, and install one 7-1/2-inch ground strap between the right rear mount and the enclosure lids antenna ground plane 0 (shown in Figure 5-15 and in Figure 5-17). 3. The order of assembly is important to ensure proper shock mount operation. All components are supplied with the mounting kit. The five 7- 1/2-inch straps are used on the rear and front shock mounts four from shock mount to trunnion, and one from the shock mount to the lids antenna ground plane. NOTE: Grounding through the power-supply cable is NOT sufficient. Whether the radio transceiver is mounted to a carrier or the chassis itself, the transceiver MUST be properly grounded to the motorcycle chassis. The ground strap supplied with the installation kit may have to be used to ensure a good RF ground path from the radio transceiver to the motorcycle chassis. Install the 3-foot ground strap on one of the front shock mounts. Route it through the cable-
routing hole and connect the other end to the motorcycle frame (see Figure 5-15). 4. DO NOT connect the ground strap directly to the negative battery post.

On the mid power, the port plug is located at the bottom of the radio behind the control head or TIB. On the high power, the port plug is located at the TIB. These plugs are critical to the sealing of the radio and should not be removed unless to replace it due to damage or to install the future antenna connector. Removal of the port plug in any other situation would create a leak path into the radio. October 2012 6878215A01 Chapter 7 Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting In this section are Motorola recommended vehicle installation practices that can address or prevent many issues, including:
Radio circuit damage due to over voltage condition Radio/Accessories "lock up"
Radio/Accessories change state/lock-up when radio PTT is depressed Radio powers up in the FL 01/90 state (general communication error code) Radio intermittently resets Radio loses secure key Transmit audio distortion on motorcycle radio when engine is running Keypad buttons become inoperative for motorcycle radios when engine is running Alternator whine present when transmitting with engine running Radio/Accessories turn themselves on/off 7.1 Check Wiring of Ignition and Radio Ignition Sensing If it is required to turn the radio on and off via the ignition sense switch, in addition to the control heads on/off switch, connect the ignition sense lead to the accessory terminal from the ignition switch (usually in the vehicles fuse panel under accessory or radio). NOTE: Motorola recommends protecting or isolating the radios ignition sense input from voltage spikes in excess of +/- 40VDC. Such spikes can be hundreds of volts in amplitude and are common in larger vehicles (utility trucks, buses and etc.), especially when the source is common to a solenoid coil. A triggerable oscilloscope is required to determine the existence of such spikes as most voltmeters cannot measure in short duration (< 1 msec). If the condition of the intended ignition sense source is unknown, Motorola recommends isolating the source from the radio with a relay or the use of a suppression diode wired between the source and ground. Any high current suppression diode (i.e. MR2535) with a breakdown voltage of between 18 and 40 volts will suffice. A suitable diode kit is available from Motorola parts, kit number HLN6325_. If it is required to have the radio power up only via the control heads on/off switch, then connect the ignition sense lead directly to the positive terminal of the battery. This will mean the ignition sense will always be ignored and a re-wiring will be necessary in the future if the operator chooses any ignition sense CPS setting. 7-2 7.2 Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting Check Physical Installation of Radio Ground and Radio Accessory Wiring Check Physical Installation of Radio Ground and Radio Accessory Wiring Take care to scrape away paint on the chassis at the place where the ground connection is to be made, and try to keep the ground lead as short as possible. Verify that the A+ lead (red) is connected directly to the positive terminal of the battery and the ground lead (black) is connected to the vehicles chassis using as short of a length of wire as is practical. For vehicles that have other types of electronic equipment installed (lights, flashers, computers siren/PA and etc.), use a separate ground for the mobile radio equipment. Make sure that the mobile radio antenna is the minimum required distance (three feet) from the mobile radio equipment to prevent radio frequency interference (RFI) from interfering with the radio and/or accessories. Do not coil up any excess length of the A+ (red) lead. Doing this may cause a large transient voltage to be produced when there is a high current drain (e.g. during transmit). This could cause the radio to reset when the push-to-talk (PTT) is depressed. For motorcycle mounted radios, make sure that the antenna ground connection is solid. An intermittent ground connection can cause the transmission to be distorted when the motorcycles engine is running. Do not coil up any excessive length of antenna cable, if possible. It may affect the radios receive performance. If an extra length of cable is used to extend the microphone, make sure the added capacitance does not interfere with the operation of the radio. 7.3 Improve the Electrical Quality of the Power and Ignition Lines Use a relay to isolate the vehicles ignition switch point (ACC) from the radios ignition sense point. Control this relay from the vehicles ignition switch point (ACC). Supply a cleaner voltage from the positive terminal of the battery into the relay, which will now be attached to the radios ignition sense point. Now the ACC line toggles the relay, instead of directly toggling the radios ignition sense line. Install a Power Line Filter between the A+ lead and the positive terminal of the battery. This is intended to filter the battery power applied to the transmitter power amplifiers. Pay extra caution to this because the series filter will introduce a negative spike when the radio transmits that may cause problems with radio operation. Lock-up issues have been seen with the dual control head MCS 2000 configuration. For vehicles that use electromechanical relays to control external devices (lights, motors, switch boxes and etc.), these relay circuits should be isolated as best as possible from the mobile radio equipment. Also, diode suppression should be used across the relay contacts to minimize the noise produced by the collapsing magnetic field. If the ignition sense switch is to be used, make sure that there is not a large voltage drop between the A+ point (usually the positive terminal of the battery) and the ignition sense point. In general, the voltage difference between these two points, should not be greater than 1.5 volts when all accessories/air-conditioner, etc. are turned on. Refer to the Basic Service Manual for specifications for minimum and maximum voltage levels. Typical battery voltage levels are 13.6V +/- 20%. 6878215A01 Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting Minimize the Effect of Poorly Grounded Antennas 7-3 7.4 Minimize the Effect of Poorly Grounded Antennas For vehicles with high power (100W) radios that use glass mount antennas, care must be taken to keep the radio and antenna cable as far as possible from the radiating element of the antenna. If a sufficient distance is not maintained, the glass mount antennas lack of a proper ground plane may cause the radios transmit signal to interfere with itself and cause a reset. To minimize this effect, it may be necessary to install ferrite beads on the antenna cable to protect the radio from this interference. 7.5 Jump-Start the Vehicle
!
C a u t i o n Do not jump-start vehicle with radio power or ignition sense cables connected. Damage to the radio and/or accessories may result. Jump-starting a motorcycle can crank 300+ volts through the vehicles charging system and these transients can damage electrical equipment. The state of your radio prior to needing a jump-start may be unknown, and the radio may attempt to return to its last state (radio ON), when doing a jump-start. Therefore, Motorola recommends the following steps be taken before jump-starting any vehicle containing a radio. 1. Locate the ignition sense line (thin yellow wire or thin red wire, depending on dash mount or remote mount installation) and the main power leads (thick red wire) near the battery positive terminal. NOTE: These lines are fused. In the event these lines are not fused (add the appropriate fuse in line) use whatever tools necessary to physically disconnect the ignition sense and power lines from the battery terminal.
Make sure that the disconnected lines are not in the way of moving motorcycle parts or interfering with the motorcycle operation in any way. 2. Open up the fuse holders and remove the fuses out of the kits. 3. Re-tighten the fuse holders but without the fuses to insure that ignition sense and power lines do not interfere with moving motorcycle parts. 4. Proceed with the jump-start routine as described by your vehicle owners manual. 5. Once the jump-start process is complete, re-install the fuses into their holders. 7.6 Eliminate Noise/Howling from PA Speaker 1. Refer to Section 2.1.1 for recommended methods of installation available for the mobile
two-way radio, with accessories placed to the vehicle as desired. 2. Refer to Figure 2-16 and Figure for the wiring diagrams for the recommended configurations. 3. Refer to the Siren/PA User Manual (part number 6881093C18) for further details on lowering the wattage. 6878215A01 7-4 Best Practices: Installation & Troubleshooting Notes 6878215A01 Appendix A Replacement Parts Ordering A.1 Basic Ordering Information When ordering replacement parts or equipment information, the complete identification number should be included.

Used especially as a radio-frequency unit. Also written as C. A microprocessor that contains RAM and ROM components, as well as communications and programming components and peripherals. Power amplifier. One-way communication that alerts the receiver to retrieve a message. See Push-to-Talk. A publication that provides supplemental information for its parent publication before it is revised and reissued. The switch or button that causes the radio to transmit when pressed. When the PTT switch or button is released, the unit returns to standby or receive operation. The portion of the electromagnetic spectrum between audio sound and infrared light (approximately 10 kHz to 10 GHz). See random access memory. A type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. Electronic device that amplifies RF signals. A receiver separates the audio signal from the RF carrier, amplifies it, and converts it back to the original sound waves. Short-term data-storage circuits within the microcontroller unit or programmable logic IC. Reset line: an input to the microcontroller that restarts execution. See radio frequency. Receive. An electrically transmitted electromagnetic wave. Computer programs, procedures, rules, documentation, and data pertaining to the operation of a system. A timer that limits the length of a transmission. See time-out timer. Transmitter-receiver. A device that both transmits and receives analog or digital signals. Also abbreviated as XCVR. Electronic equipment that generates and amplifies an RF carrier signal, modulates the signal, and then radiates it into space. 6878215A01 Glossary-3 Term Definition TX UHF Universal Serial Bus USB VHF Transmit. Ultra-High Frequency. An external bus standard that supports data transfer rates of 12 Mbps. See Universal Serial Bus.
