APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT i Notes ii APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT Getting Started Introduction Your radio provides the ability to edit and program several operational features using the front panel keypad. Front Panel Programming (FPP) covered in this manual, can only be programmed/

reprogrammed when the radio is ordered with the FPP option. A special Advanced System Key (ASK) is also needed. It needs to be used with the CPS. APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT 1 Before attempting Front Panel Programming as described in this manual:

Familiarize yourself with the your radio. Remove the universal connector seal if it is attached to the radio. Install the ASK to the computer. Install the Customer Programming Software (CPS) on the computer. 2 APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT Programming Feature Operation The radio can be programmed in three ways:

Front Panel Programming (FPP) using the front panel controls of the radio. Cloning the radio zone and channel information for one or more zones;

that is, copying zone and channel information from one radio to another radio. Customer Programming Software

(CPS), with the radio connected to a PC computer. This supplement describes the Front Panel Programming (FPP) . Note: The FPP features are not available when the radio is mounted in a Vehicular Adaptor. APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT 3 Front Panel Programming Front Panel Programming (FPP) allows the authorized service personnel to change the following parameters from the front panel controls of the radio:

Tx/Rx Frequency Tx/Rx Coded Squelch (PL/DPLNAC) Receive Channel Analog / Digital /

Mixed designation Transmit Channel Analog / Digital designation Bandwidth Channel Name Zone Name Zone Protection 4 APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT There are two methods to program a channel within a zone. Either:

Select the zone and channel through the radio interface, and then initiate the FPP feature. OR Initiate the FPP feature, and then select the zone and channel (see the procedure starting on the next page). Note: When any of the Rx parameters

(i.e., Rx frequency, Rx PL, Rx DPL, and Rx NAC) is changed, FPP automatically copies these Rx parameter values to the equivalent Direct operation (also known as Talkaround operation) parameters. APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT 5 Initiate the FPP Feature Connect the radio to the computer. Load the CPS software with the ASK installed. Via the CPS software enable the FPP feature. A password will then be needed to be keyed in. On the radio, browse to the FPP menu to access the FPP setup. Key in the password provided to gain access to the FPP feature. 6 APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT 7 Glossary This is a list of terms used in this User Guide supplement. Analog Signal Channel Cursor Digital Private Line (DPL) An RF signal that has a continuous nature rather than a pulsed or discrete nature A group of characteristics such as transmit/receive frequency pairs, radio parameters, and encryp-

tion encoding. A visual tracking marker (a blinking line) that indicates a location on the display. A type of coded squelch using data bursts. Similar to PL except a digital code is used instead of a tone. 8 APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT Digital Signal Front Panel Program-

ming (FPP) Network Access Code (NAC) Operator An RF signal that has a pulsed or discrete, nature, rather than a continuous nature. The provisioner is capa-

ble of changing channel/zone names, channel frequency, code, digital/analog operating modes, and bandwidth. NAC operated on digital channels to reduce voice channel interference between adjacent systems and sites. The person using the radio to transmit and receive audio. This is the primary user in day to day radio operation. APX - FPP SUPPLEMENT 9 Provisioner The person that provisions Prepro-

grammed Private Line (PL) Program-

mable Source Radio A software feature that has been activated by a qualified radio technician. A sub-audible tone that is transmitted such that only receivers decoding the tone will receive it. A radio control that can have a radio feature assigned to it. channel parameters such as frequency and squelch code from the keyboard of the radio. This is also the person that initiates clon-

ing. The radio that contains the data to be cloned.

An operational procedure, practice, or condition, etc., which is essential to emphasize. 1 English Additional Performance Enhancement



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. The following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX 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.



CrossTalk Prevention This feature prevents crosstalk scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in the radio to be varied from the Receiving Frequency. This subsequently reduced the possibilities of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk. d e t r a t S g n i t t e G 2 English What Your Dealer/System Administrator Can Tell You Check with your dealer or system administrator, if the radio is to be operated in extremely cold temperatures (less than -20 C), for the correct radio settings to ensure proper top display operation.

(For APX 6000 R Radios Only) Elastomer technology materials used for seals in rugged portable radios can age with time and environmental exposure. Therefore, Motorola recommends that rugged radios be checked annually as a preventive measure in order to assure the watertight integrity of the radio. Motorola details the disassembly, test, and reassembly procedures along with necessary test equipment needed to inspect, maintain and troubleshoot radio seals in the radios service manual. If the radio battery contact area has been submerged in water, dry and clean the radio battery contacts before attaching a battery to the radio. Otherwise, the water could short-circuit the radio. If the radio has been submerged in water, shake the radio well so that any water that may be trapped inside the speaker grille and microphone port can be removed. Otherwise, the water will decrease the audio quality of the radio. Do not disassemble the radio. This could damage radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio. Any radio maintenance should be performed only by a qualified radio technician.



Cleaning Your Radio To clean the external surfaces of your radio:

1 Combine one teaspoon of mild dishwashing detergent to one gallon of water (0.5% solution). 2 Apply the solution sparingly with a stiff, non-metallic, short-

bristled brush, making sure excess detergent does not get entrapped near the connectors, controls or crevices. Dry the radio thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. H e l p f u l i T p s 3 Clean battery contacts with a lint-free cloth to remove dirt or grease.

6881095C98-E English 6881095C98-E.book Page 2 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM RF Energy Exposure Awareness and Control Information and Operational Instructions for Occupational Use NOTICE: This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet the occupational limits in FCC and International standards. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population consumer use. This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses radio frequency (RF) energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, sunlight and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material. Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for safe exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All Motorola two-way radios are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-

way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. English 2 6881095C98-E.book Page 3 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Please refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control your exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:

http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Regulations The FCC rules require manufacturers to comply with the FCC RF energy exposure limits for portable two-way radios before they can be marketed in the U.S. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated by the use of a product label directing users to specific user awareness information. Your Motorola two-way radio has a RF Exposure Product Label. Also, your Motorola user manual, or separate safety booklet includes information and operating instructions required to control your RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements. Compliance with RF Exposure Standards Your Motorola two-way radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and International standards and guidelines (listed below) for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE (FCC) and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environments at operating duty factors of up to 50% talk-50%

listen and is authorized by the FCC for occupational use only. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with these exposure guidelines, your radio generates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (during talking), not when it is receiving (listening) or in standby mode. 3 English 6881095C98-E.book Page 4 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM NOTE: The approved batteries, supplied with this radio, are rated for a 5-5-90 duty factor (5% talk-5% listen-90% standby) even though this radio complies with FCC occupational exposure limits and may operate at duty factors of up to 50% talk. Your Motorola two-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:

United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-2005 Edition International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998 Ministry of Health (Canada) Safety Code 6. Limits of Human Exposure to Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Fields in the Frequency Range from 3 kHz to 300 GHz, 1999 Australian Communications Authority Radiocommunications (Electromagnetic Radiation Human Exposure) Standard, 2003 ANATEL ANNEX to Resolution No. 303 of July 2, 2002 "Regulation of limitation of exposure to electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency range between 9 KHz and 300 GHz" and "Attachment to resolution #

303 from July 2, 2002"

English 4 6881095C98-E.book Page 5 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled environment exposure limits, always adhere to the following procedures. Guidelines:

DO NOT remove the RF Exposure Label from the device. User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users. DO NOT use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. Operating Instructions Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time. To transmit

(talk), push the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button. To receive calls, release the PTT button. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). Private Talk Position (XTS 4000 Only) When placing or receiving a personal message, hold your radio as you would a wireline/wireless telephone. Speak directly into the microphone. Use the PTT as in a normal two-way operation. Two-Way Radio Operation Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of the face with the microphone (and other parts of the radio including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 centimeters) away from the nose or lips. Antenna should be kept away from the eye. Keeping the radio at a proper distance is important since RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the antenna. 5 English 6881095C98-E.book Page 6 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Body Worn Operation When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Motorola-approved clip, holder, holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-

worn accessories is important because the use of non-Motorola-approved accessories may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC occupational/

controlled environment RF exposure limits. DO NOT hold the antenna when the radio is transmitting. Holding the antenna affects call quality and may cause the radio product to operate at higher power level than needed. DO NOT touch the metal surface of the antenna (in extended position) when the radio is transmitting. RF discomfort may result. Approved Accessories Use only Motorola-approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, and accessories. Use of non-Motorola-approved antennas, batteries, and accessories may exceed the FCC (IEEE) and ICNIRP RF exposure guidelines. For a list of Motorola-approved accessories, visit the following website, which lists approved accessories for your radio model:

English 6 6881095C98-E.book Page 7 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility NOTE: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. Aircraft When instructed to do so, turn off your radio when on board an aircraft. Any use of a radio must be in accordance with applicable regulations per airline crew instructions. Medical Devices Pacemakers The Advanced Medical Technology Association (AdvaMed) recommends that a minimum separation of 6 inches (15 centimeters) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with those of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Persons with pacemakers should:

ALWAYS keep the radio more than 6 inches (15 centimeters) from their pacemaker when the radio is turned ON. Not carry the radio in the breast pocket. Use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. Turn the radio OFF immediately if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place. 7 English 6881095C98-E.book Page 8 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Hearing Aids Some digital wireless radios may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives. Other Medical Devices If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately shielded from RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information. Use of Communication Devices While Driving Always check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the areas where you drive. Give full attention to driving and to the road. Use hands-free operation, if available. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call, if driving conditions or regulations so require. English 8 6881095C98-E.book Page 9 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Operational Warnings W A R N I N G For Vehicle With Air Bags:

Refer to vehicle manufacturer's manual prior to installation of electronic equipment to avoid interference with air bag wiring. DO NOT place a portable radio in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

(Explosive atmospheres refers to hazard classified locations that may contain hazardous gas, vapors, or dusts.) Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere unless it is a portable radio type especially qualified for use in such areas as Intrinsically Safe (for example, Factory Mutual, CSA, UL, or CENELEC). DO NOT remove, install, or charge batteries in such areas. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres referred to above include fueling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted. 9 English 6881095C98-E.book Page 10 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: "Turn off two-way radio." Obey all signs and instructions. W A R N I N G Operational Cautions C a u t i o n Antennas DO NOT use any portable radio that has a damaged antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with your skin, a minor burn can result. Batteries All batteries can cause property damage and/or bodily injury, such as burns, if a conductive material such as jewelry, keys, or beaded chains touches exposed terminals. The conductive material may complete an electrical circuit (short circuit) and become quite hot. Exercise care in handling any charged battery, particularly when placing it inside a pocket, purse, or other container with metal objects. Intrinsically Safe Radio Information The Intrinsically safe approval unit refers to a product that has been approved as intrinsically safe by an approval agency (for example FM Approvals, CSA, UL, or Cenelec) and certifies that a particular product meets the Agency's applicable intrinsic safety standards for specific types of hazardous classified locations. A portable radio that has been approved for intrinsic safety will have Approval label attached to the radio to identify the unit as being Approved for specified English 10 6881095C98-E.book Page 11 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM hazardous atmospheres. This label specifies the hazardous Class/Division/

Group along with the part number of the battery that must be used. The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label will be located on the portable radio unit. Operational Cautions for Intrinsic Safe Equipment C a u t i o n DO NOT operate radio communications equipment in a hazardous atmosphere unless it is a type especially qualified (for example, FM, UL, CSA, or CENELEC approved). An explosion or fire may result. DO NOT operate a radio unit that has been approved as intrinsically safe product in a hazardous atmosphere if it has been physically damaged (for example, cracked housing). An explosion or fire may result. DO NOT replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion or fire. Warnings for Radios Approved as Intrinsically Safe Radios must ship from the Motorola manufacturing facility with the hazardous atmosphere capability and the intrinsic safety approval labelling (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC). Radios will not be upgraded to this capability and labeled once they have been shipped to the field. A modification changes the units hardware from its original design configuration. Modifications can only be made by the original product manufacturer. 11 English 6881095C98-E.book Page 12 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM W A R N I N G DO NOT replace or change accessories in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact sparking may occur while installing or removing accessories and cause an explosion or fire. Turn the radio off before removing or installing a battery or accessory. DO NOT disassemble an intrinsically safe product in any way that exposes the internal circuits of the unit. Failure to use an intrinsically safe approved battery or Approved accessories specifically approved for the radio unit may result in the dangerously unsafe condition of an unapproved radio combination being used in a hazardous location. Unauthorized or incorrect modification of the intrinsically safe approved Product will negate the approval rating of the product. Incorrect repair or relabeling of any intrinsically safe Agency-

approved radio could adversely affect the Approval rating of the unit. Use of a radio that is not intrinsically safe in a hazardous atmosphere could result in serious injury or death. English 12 6881095C98-E.book Page 13 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM Repair W A R N I N G REPAIRS FOR MOTOROLA PRODUCTS WITH INTRINSICALLY SAFE APPROVAL ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE USER. Repairs to a Motorola FM approved radio product should only be done at a location that has been FM audited under the FM 3605 repairs and service standard. Contact Motorola for assistance regarding repairs and service of Motorola intrinsically safe equipment. A repair constitutes something done internally to the unit that would bring it back to its original condition. Items not considered as repairs are those in which an action is performed on a unit which does not require the outer casing of the unit to be opened in a manner that exposes the internal electrical circuits of the unit. Do Not Substitute Options or Accessories The Motorola communications equipment certified as intrinsically safe by the approving agency, (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC) is tested as a complete system which consists of the listed agency Approved portable, Approved battery, and Approved accessories or options, or both. This Approved portable and battery combination must be strictly observed. There must be no substitution of items, even if the substitute has been previously Approved with a different Motorola communications equipment unit. Approved configurations are listed by the Approving Agency (FM, UL, CSA, CENELEC). The Intrinsically Safe Approval Label affixed to radio refers to the intrinsically safe classification of that radio product, and the approved batteries that can be used with that system. 13 English 6881095C98-E.book Page 14 Monday, June 22, 2009 11:27 PM The manual PN referenced on the Intrinsically Safe Approval Label identifies the approved Accessories and or options that can be used with that portable radio unit. Using a non-Motorola-intrinsically-safe battery and or accessory with the Motorola approved radio unit will void the intrinsically safe approval of that radio unit. English 14

To receive calls, release the PTT button, or, for radios equipped with VOX, stop talking. The red LED will extinguish when the radio stops transmitting. Transmitting 50% of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards compliance). Transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the recommended minimum lateral distance away, shown in Table 1, from the body of a vehicle with a properly installed antenna. This separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed (according to installation instructions) externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements in the standards listed above. 5 MN000350A02.book Page 6 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Note: Table 1 below lists the recommended lateral distance for people in an uncontrolled environment from the body of a vehicle with an approved, properly installed transmitting antenna (such as monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles). Table 1: Recommended Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body of Vehicle-Installed Mobile Two-Way Radio Minimum Lateral Distance from Vehicle Body 3 ft. (90 cm) When a mobile radio is used in conjunction with another co-located transmitter such as a Vehicular Repeater, it is the vehicle operators responsibility to take appropriate steps to keep bystanders at the required separation distance from the vehicle to ensure compliance with the FCCs RF energy exposure limits for the general population. See the co-located transmitters user manual for more details. Mobile Antenna Installation Guidelines These mobile antenna installation guidelines are limited to metal body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground planes. Antennas should be installed in the center area of the roof or the trunk lid taking into account exposure conditions of backseat passengers and according to the specific instructions and restrictions in the Radio Installation Manual along with the requirements of the antenna supplier. Trunk lid installations are limited to vehicles with clearly defined flat trunk lids, and in some cases, to specific radio models and antennas. See the Radio Installation Manual for the specific information on how and where to install specific types of approved antennas to facilitate recommended operating distances to all potentially exposed persons.

For additional installation information, see the guidelines for minimum separation distances proved above in the RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and Operating Instructions section of this document. Electromagnetic Interference or Compatibility Note: Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed, or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility. It may be necessary to conduct compatibility testing to determine if any electronic equipment used in or around vehicles or near fixed site antenna is sensitive to external RF energy or if any procedures need to be followed to eliminate or mitigate the potential for interaction between the radio transmitter and the equipment or device. Facilities To avoid electromagnetic interference and/or compatibility conflicts, turn off your radio in any facility where posted notices instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that is sensitive to external RF energy. 8 MN000350A02.book Page 9 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Vehicles To avoid possible interaction between the radio transmitter and any vehicle electronic control modules, such as ABS, engine, or transmission controls, the radio should be installed only by an experienced installer and the following precautions should be used when installing the radio. 1. Refer to the manufacturers instructions or other technical bulletins for recommendations on radio installation. 2. Before installing the radio, determine the location of the electronic control modules and their harnesses in the vehicle. 3. Route all radio wiring, including the antenna transmission line, as far away as possible from the electronic control units and associated wiring. Driver Safety Check the laws and regulations on the use of radios in the area where you drive. Always obey them. When using your radio while driving, please:

Give full attention to driving and to the road. Pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require. Acoustic Safety Exposure to loud noises from any source for extended periods of time may temporarily or permanently affect your hearing. The louder the radios volume, the less time is required before your hearing can be affected. Hearing damage from loud noises is sometimes undetectable at first and can have a cumulative effect. To protect your hearing:

Use the lowest volume necessary to do your job. Increase the volume only if you are in noisy surroundings. Reduce the volume before connecting headset or earpiece. Limit the amount of time you use headsets or earpieces at high volume. When using the radio without a headset or earpiece, do not place the radios speaker directly against your ear. 9 MN000350A02.book Page 10 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM If you experience hearing discomfort, ringing in your ears, or muffled speech, you should stop listening to your radio through your headset or earpiece, and have your hearing checked by your doctor. Operational Warnings For Vehicles with an Air Bag

!

!

Do not mount or place a mobile radio in the area over an air bag W A R N I N G or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the air bag inflates, the radio may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle. Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Turn off your radio prior to entering any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Sparks in a potentially explosive atmosphere can cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. The areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fuelling areas such as below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, posted. Blasting Caps and Blasting Areas To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn off your radio when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted: Turn off two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions. For radios installed in vehicles fueled by liquefied petroleum gas, refer to the

(U.S.) National Fire Protection Association standard, NFPA 58, for storage, handling, and/or container information. For a copy of the LP-gas standard, NFPA 58, contact the National Fire Protection Association, One Battery Park, Quincy, MA. 10 MN000350A02.book Page 11 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Installation Instructions Introduction This publication describes the installation procedure for the ASTRO APX6000 Vehicular Adapter (APX VA), used ONLY with APX6000 series radios, and basic user guide instructions. Complete installation, user guide, and troubleshooting details are explained in publication part number MN000350A01 located at Motorola Solutions Online. https://businessonline.motorolasolutions.com Installation Requirements for Compliance with RF Energy Exposure Safety Standards ATTENTION!

This radio system is intended for use in occupational controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to meet FCC limits. This radio device is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use. To ensure compliance to RF Energy Safety Standards:

Install only Motorola-approved antenna and accessories. Ensure that antenna installation is per Antenna Installation section of this manual. Ensure that RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety section of this manual is available to the end user upon completion of the installation of this APX VA system. Before using this product, read the RF Energy Exposure and Safety Section of this manual enclosed with your radio which contains important operating instructions for safe usage and RF energy awareness and control for compliance with applicable standards and regulations. For a list of Motorola-approved antennas and other accessories, visit the following web site which lists the approved accessories for the APX VA or refer to APX Vehicular Adapter (VA) System Compatibility Matrix on page 1. http://www.motorolasolutions.com 11 MN000350A02.book Page 12 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Installation Planning The Motorola ASTRO APX Vehicular Adapter (APX VA) is an accessory designed to adapt APX6000 series portable radios for vehicular operation and battery charging. The APX VA System consists of the following components:

console hand-held microphone power cable trunnion or U-bracket (with its mounting hardware) mounting hardware (trunnion to console screws) external speaker (optional) roof-top antenna (not supplied) other optional accessories (installation not covered in this manual) Before starting the installation, plan the location of the console, microphone, antenna and external speaker (optional). Identify the routing path for all cables. Verify that the cable lengths are sufficient. Also, check the mounting penetrations required. On most vehicles, it is necessary to penetrate the firewall to reach the battery. Check the opposite side of the firewall for cable clearance before drilling holes, and protect the cable where it passes through the firewall by using grommets (not provided) or other similar protective measures. Survey the firewall for existing holes occupied by vehicle wire harnesses. Often there is an opportunity to route other cables using the same path. Because of the wide variations in vehicle design, these instructions may be modified to suit each particular installation. Note: This manual assumes that the Console is mounted under the dash. Other mounting configurations are possible but not addressed in this manual. A properly installed APX VA will minimize service calls and equipment downtime. Motorola recommends adherence to all of the guidelines and instruction when planning the installation:

Do insert S-hooks (not provided) on cables into restraining holes for strain relief. Do use heat-shrink tubing (not provided) on all splices. Do ensure that unit cables are not placed under stress, are not exposed to weather, and are not subjected to damage due to engine heat. Do retain in-line cable fuses when trimming cables to fit. Locate in-line fuses as close as practical to the supply voltage connection. 12 MN000350A02.book Page 13 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Do not attach the unit to any part of the vehicle that is not rigid or is subject to excessive vibration. Do not install unit in areas where rain or snow can easily get into them, such as next to a vehicle window which may be left open. Do not dress cables over sharp edges that could cause wear or tearing of cable insulation. Do not install the units in locations where they might interfere with the vehicles operator or operating controls. Do not install the unit where it will be difficult for the operator to reach. Do not install the unit where it will interfere with vehicle safety air bag deployment. Before drilling, check the opposite sides of all mounting surfaces for obstruction, such as vehicle wiring and fluid lines. Console Location The optional trunnion (U) bracket can be used to mount the APX VA console either off the vehicle floor or under the vehicle dash. The console should first be attached to the bracket, and then the console-bracket combination can be evaluated for the proper mounting location. The console should be mounted to provide:

12 inches (30.48cm) of clearance in front of the console for inserting and removing the radio. clearance on either side of the console is necessary for inserting and tightening screws to secure the console to the bracket. a 6-inch (15.24cm) clearance in back of the console for connection of power, microphone, antenna, and speaker cables. a 1-inch (2.54cm) clearance above the vents on the top of the console. Consider accessibility to the controls by the operator. Other considerations in deciding on the best mounting location are:

the hang-up location for the microphone. the microphones coil cord length (extended) during operation. the operability of the radios controls while it is in the console. a substantial structure for accepting mounting screws. the speaker mounting location and cable length. 13 MN000350A02.book Page 14 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM When possible, mount the console on the floor near the center of the vehicle within easy reach of the operator. Do not reuse trunnion (U) bracket hardware (screws) from a legacy product. Do use the trunnion (U) bracket hardware (screws) provided with the APX VA kit. Microphone Bracket Location When possible, mount the microphone bracket on the dash near the operator side of the console. The location should be within easy reach of the operator, and it should be convenient to remove and hang-up the microphone in its mounting bracket without interfering with any of the vehicle controls. Do not attach the microphone bracket to the console housing. Visor Microphone Location The hands-free visor microphone is designed to clip onto the vehicles sun visor. Antenna Location Follow the guidance given in the Antenna Installation section of this manual to ensure compliance with RF Exposure standards. Battery Connections Determine the best cable route from the rear of the console to the vehicle battery through the engine compartment firewall. The best route should include the shortest path to the battery terminals, yet provide the cable with protection from engine heat. Cut off any excess cable. Be sure to use a grommet (not provided) or similar protective measure wherever a cable must pass through a hole in a metal panel, such as a firewall. Route the power cables in a way that protects them from being pinched, chafed, or crushed. Cable fuses must be retained and located as close to the battery as practical to protect against cable or equipment shorts. Secure the cable along its length through the engine compartment to prevent displacement during vehicle operation and service. 14 MN000350A02.book Page 15 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Optional Speaker Location Select a location for the speaker that will neither be dangerous to the operator nor damaging to the speaker. A trunnion bracket is provided for mounting the speaker. The speaker is normally hung under the dash near the right side of the console, however, the trunnion bracket permits mounting the speaker against a wall or other vertical surface, if desired. A location close to the operator, such as on a door pillar, will minimize APX VA volume adjustments that might otherwise be needed when ambient noise conditions worsen (such as when a siren is used). This location is also desirable if the user wishes to keep the volume level outside of the vehicle low while on patrol. Note: Mounting the speaker on the dashboard or rear package tray is not recommended. For optimum radio performance, install the speaker under the dashboard. Console Installation Referring to Figure 1, install the console using the following procedure, or modify the procedure as necessary to conform to the vehicle type. Using the optional trunnion (U) bracket as a template, drill the mounting holes and mount the bracket with the hardware supplied (see Figure 1). Note: 1. The hardware for mounting the bracket to the vehicle is part of the NTN8940B kit; not part of the NNTN8527A kit. 2. Failure to use the four outermost holes on the trunnion bracket, or mounting the bracket on a non-flat surface (such as a transmission hump) could degrade vibration performance. Additionally, the VA trunnion bracket should be mounted on a metal surface. 3. When the bracket is mounted in carpet, the self-tapping screws tend to bind up. To overcome this, tap the screw through the carpet, back out the screw, then tighten the screw down. 1. Use the console to trunnion screws from the kit packaging (unit box). 2. Ensure that the plastic guides of the trunnion are aligned (horizontally) with the corresponding grooves of the console (see Figure 1). Slide the APX VA console into the plastic guides until it reaches the mechanical stop. Verify that the holes in the trunnion bracket are aligned with the holes on the APX VA. 15 MN000350A02.book Page 16 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM 3. Insert the Allen-screws provided through the trunnion bracket and screw them into the console. Since the console may have to be removed later to connect the cables, do not tighten the screws at this time. 0.125 (0.3175 cm) Dia.

Figure 2: Console Installation Detail Antenna Installation IMPORTANT: To ensure 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. 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 (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, Ensure that the distance from the antenna location on the trunk lid will be at least 36 inches (90 cm) from the front surface of the rear seat-back to ensure 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. 17 MN000350A02.book Page 18 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM If these conditions cannot be satisfied, then mount the antenna on the roof top. Mounting restrictions for certain radio models:

a. 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 ensure compliance with RF Energy Safety Standards. b. Ensure that the antenna cable can be easily routed to the APX VA. Route the antenna cable as far away as possible from any vehicle electronic control units and associated wiring. c. Check that the antenna location for any electrical interference. d. Ensure that any transmitting radio antennas on this vehicle are separated from each other by at least 3 feet (92 cm). See Figure 3. Figure 3: Multiple Antenna Separation e. The minimum distance between the antenna and the radio or accessories should be at least 3 feet (92 cm). Note: Any two metal pieces rubbing against each other (such as seat springs, shift levers, trunk and hood lids, exhaust pipes, and others) in close proximity to the antenna can cause severe receiver interference. Mini-UHF Connection Note: The RF connector (J3) on APX VA console is a mini-UHF jack, and must be mated with either an antenna mini-UHF plug (P3) or an appropriate adapter (part numbers: 5880367B21 [mini-UHF-to-N]; 5880367B22

[mini-UHF-to-UHF]; or 5880367B24 [mini-UHF-to-TNC]). To ensure a secure connection of an antenna cables mini-UHF plug to an APX VA 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. 18 MN000350A02.book Page 19 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Note: Applying excessive force with a tool can cause damage to the antenna or the connector (such as stripping threads, deforming the collar or connector, or causing the connector to twist in the housing opening and break). The mini-UHF connector tool (part number HLN6695) is designed to securely tighten the antenna plug-APX VA jack connection without damaging either the plug or the jack. Motorola recommends the following sequence to ensure proper attachment of the system (see Figure 4). Coax Conductor Plug (Pin) Collar Pulled Back to Flange Flange Cable Figure 4: Antenna / Mini-UHF Connection 1. Ensure that there is sufficient slack in the antenna cable. 2. Ensure that the collar of the antenna cable plug is loose and does not bind. 3. Ensure that the mini-UHF jack is tight in the APX VA housing. 4. Slide the collar back against the flange. Insert the antenna cable plugs pin fully into the APX VA 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 APX VAs jack. 7. Give a final tug, by hand, to the collar, and retighten by hand as firmly as possible. Note: Do not use pliers or any other device to grip the tightening tool. It has been designed to allow you to achieve proper torque on the collar without over tightening. Over tightening the collar can damage the connector and the APX VA. 19 MN000350A02.book Page 20 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Console Cabling Refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 before routing or connecting any console cable. The console should be cabled using the following procedure:

This product is designed for a 12-volt, negative-ground system. Remove the 5-amp fuses from the power cable (red and yellow wires) before proceeding. Note: 1. Due to space restrictions, it may be necessary to remove the console before making connections to the connectors at the back of the console. If this is the case, make all connections and remount the console before replacing the 5-amp fuses. 2. For applications where the mounting structure of the console is hinged (for example, swing cab), make sure to provide sufficient service length for cables. 1. After setting the 2-foot (61 cm) section of the main power cables red lead aside for later use, route the main power cable through the firewall and into the vehicle battery area. Use an existing opening or, if necessary, drill a 3/8-inch (1 cm) hole through the firewall. Insert a grommet (not provided) into the hole to prevent damage to the power cable.

Cut the long red lead to the desired length (as long as possible so that the in-line fuse is located as close as practical to the vehicle battery). Then, after running the lead through the firewall, connect (crimp) it to the plug on the 2-foot (61 cm) red lead section that was set aside in step 1. Make sure that the plug and jack in the lead are connected securely together. 4. Cut the yellow lead to the desired length, and then connect it to the supply side of the fuse box, according to the above table. It is important not to connect the yellow wire to the red lead. 5. Cut the black lead to the desired length, then connect it to the vehicle chassis. It is NOT a good practice to connect the supply cable black lead directly to the negative (-) battery terminal; the APX VA could be damaged if there is a malfunction in the vehicles electrical system. 6. Dress the cable so that it does not obstruct any vehicle controls nor touch any hot or moving parts of the engine. 7. Connect power cable plug P2 to console jack J2. 8. If the optional external speaker is being installed, connect speaker cable plug P1 to console jack J1. Attach strain-relief S-hook (not provided) to the console; crimp the S-hook with a pair of pliers. 9. Connect external antenna cable plug P3 to console jack J3. If your model has a mini-UHF type connector, use Mini-UHF Connector Tool (part number REX4584_) to tighten the connector. 10. Connect microphone cable plug P4 to console jack J4. Attach a strain-relief S-hook (not provided) to the console; crimp the S-hook with a pair of pliers (Required when a hand microphone is installed.) 11. Make certain that no radio is installed in the console, and then replace the two cable wire 5-amp fuses. 22 MN000350A02.book Page 23 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM LED Surveillance Configuration (Option Wiring User Configurable) The APX VAs LED indicator can be disabled for night use or surveillance operations by using the optional wiring connections below (refer to the Speaker and Interface Connector (J1) from Figure 5 and Figure 7. The LED indicator can be disabled by adding a jumper wire between J1 Connector Pin 17 (SURV) to Pin 14 (GND); this solution supports ONLY LED OFF Configuration; this would disable ALL LEDs including the Purple LED. The LED Indicator can be selectably disabled by installing a wired toggle switch (not provided) between J1 Connector Pin 17 (SURV) to Pin 14

To avoid possible interference with blasting operations, turn your W A R N I N G radio off and eject it from the APX VA when you are near electrical blasting caps, in a blasting area, or in areas posted Turn off two-way radio. Obey all signs and instructions. Operational Cautions Antenna Information Antennas should be installed according to the installation instructions supplied with the equipment. To ensure compliance with the standards listed above, use only Motorola-approved, supplied antenna or a Motorola-approved replacement antenna. Electronic Devices Most modern electronic equipment, for example, equipment in ambulances, navigation equipment, and so on, is shielded from RF energy, however, RF energy from your APX VA may affect some electronic equipment. Consult your physician or the manufacturer of any personal medical devices

(such as pacemakers, hearing aids, and so on) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. The operation of inadequately shielded medical devices may be adversely affected when operated near an APX VA. Turn the radio OFF in health-care facilities when any regulations posted in the areas instruct you to do so. Always request permission before using the radio or APX VA near medical equipment. RF energy may affect electronics systems in some motor vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufacturers representative to be sure that the APX VA will not affect your vehicles electronic system. 26 MN000350A02.book Page 27 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Efficient System Operation Do not operate your APX VA unless all RF connectors are properly terminated. All equipment must be properly grounded according to Motorolas installation instructions for safe operation. All equipment should be serviced only by an authorized technician. User Guide Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe usage contained in the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety section of this manual. Description The APX Vehicular Adapter (APX VA) is an accessory that adapts APX6000 series radios to operate in a vehicular (mobile) environment, and allows in-vehicle battery charging. Note: The APX VA will require the APX Radio (APX6000, APX6000Li, APX6000XE, APX5000, and SRX2200) to have at least Radio Firmware version R13.00.00 and above for full compatibility. The APX VA is designed to operate only with the combination of an APX series radio and one of the following batteries:

PMMN4403 Li-Ion Slim IMPRES IP67 NNTN7038 Li-Ion IMPRES IP67 NNTN8092 Li-Ion FM IMPRES Ruggedized NNTN8182 Li-Ion Ruggedized The use of batteries not made by Motorola is not recommended. The APX VA has no On/Off switch. In order to charge the radios battery, the vehicles ignition switch must be turned on (if employing the Standard Wiring to Vehicle Switched A+). However, the transmit and receive audio functions of the APX VA are always operational regardless of the ignition switch condition. These circuits activate whenever the APX VA detects that a radio has been loaded and turned on. 27 MN000350A02.book Page 28 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Keep foreign objects from falling into the APX VA. Trying to retrieve items that have accidentally fallen into the APX VA is not recommended. Consult a service technician for maintenance. Retrieve radio and disconnect VA until serviced. In some installations, the ignition switch is bypassed so that the APX VA charges the radio battery with the ignition switch turned off. If this describes your installation, be careful not to discharge the vehicle battery by allowing the APX VA to operate for extended periods of time with a radio loaded and the vehicle ignition switch turned off. Note: Turning the vehicles ignition switch off WILL NOT turn the radio off. To avoid long-term radio battery run-down, do not leave the radio on (or off) in the APX VA with the vehicles ignition off (Even when radio is off, the system still draws current from the car battery.) Loading the Radio Into the APX VA Make sure that all the labels on the radio and battery that are not shipped with the standard product are removed. These labels, if not removed, may peel off and interfere with proper operation or damage the APX VA. 1. Remove the universal connector cover or any accessories attached to the radio universal connector (see your radios User Guide). 2. Referring to Figure 8 and Figure 9, orient the radio with battery attached-speaker or keypad facing upward or outward. Then, slide the radio into the APX VAs radio pocket as far as it can go until the radio is fully inserted in the pocket. Do not insert the battery alone for charging. 3. Push inward on the Engage Button (see Figure 10) until the radio is securely latched into the APX VA pocket. 28 MN000350A02.book Page 29 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Figure 8: Radio with Keypad Orientation and Speaker Orientation

(respectively) Note: Ensure radio is fully seated to bottom of pocket for proper orientation. Figure 9: Radio Installation into APX VA Unit Lock Engage button Disengage Button LED Status Indicator Figure 10: APX VA Mechanisms for Radio Installation/Extraction Note: 1. Do not push on the purple disengage button during radio insertion. This will prevent the radio from staying latched in the pocket. 29 MN000350A02.book Page 30 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM 2. Avoid running the starter motor while turning the radio on or inserting it into the APX VA as this can provide a False LED Indication (light solid purple). To clear, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide in the online manual, part number MN000350A01. 3. The radio must be turned on to operate with the APX VA. It may be turned on before or after it is loaded into the APX VA. 4. If the key is horizontal, radio is unlocked. If the key is vertical, the radio is locked. Keylock Security The APX VAs keylock secures the radio in the APX VA when the vehicle is left unattended. To lock the radio into the APX VA, turn the security key clockwise. The key should be removed after locking or unlocking the APX VA. LED Indications A light-emitting diode (LED), located within the Engage Button of the APX VA

(see Figure 10), indicate charging conditions and audio accessory

(microphone) operating modes. LED Indication LED not lit Solid RED Flashing GREEN Solid GREEN Flashing RED Flashing AMBER Alternating RED/GREEN Alternating AMBER/GREEN

Charge complete; radio in APX VA A charging fault condition exists; check radio battery and its charging contacts. If the fault condition continues, contact your local Motorola representative for assistance. Radio battery temperature out-of-range. Allow time for the battery to cool down or warm up. Battery end-of-service indication Battery need re-calibration/reconditioning Audio Accessory Error No microphone connected. Incompatible microphone connected. Microphone connected or disconnected after the radio is inserted in the APX VA and turned on. 30 MN000350A02.book Page 31 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM Note: 1. A portable radio battery may not quickly recharge in the APX VA if the battery is very hot or cold. To maximize battery life, and to avoid charger LED indication flashing AMBER (rapid-charging paused), avoid leaving your radio in a very hot or cold vehicle. 2. The unit has a label, which explains the LED indications. Another label is supplied in the Console Kit that allows the user to place to ensure visibility based on installation configuration. 3. All references to LED indication assumes that Surveillance Mode has been disabled. 4. If the Surveillance Mode switch option is configured, a switch change only takes effect when the radio is inserted. Operating the Radio All operating conditions of the radio, as described in the applicable radios User Guide, apply to operating the radio with the APX VA, except that the hand-held mobile microphone (PTT) is used rather than the radios push-to-talk (PTT) switch. Setting the Volume For an APX VA without the optional external speaker the audio is routed to the radio speaker and the volume is adjusted using the radio volume knob. For an APX VA with the optional external speaker audio is routed through the external speaker and the volume is adjusted using the radio volume knob. Battery Charging One of the functions of the APX VA is to supply power to the radio and charge the radios battery. In order for the radios battery to be charged, the vehicles ignition switch must be turned on. However, once the ignition switch is turned off, the APX VA continues to charge for either a period of up to 30 minutes, or until the radios battery is fully charged, whichever comes first. It is important to prevent the APX VA from discharging the vehicles battery. The radio may be turned on or off without affecting the charging cycle. The charger will fully charge a completely discharged battery in three hours. 31 MN000350A02.book Page 32 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM While the battery is charging, the charging LED indicator will be illuminated Solid RED. When battery charging is complete, the charging LED will switch from Solid RED to Flashing GREEN to Solid GREEN, indicating that charging is complete. If the charge indicator is not on, the battery is not being charged. If this occurs, ensure that:

the radio is properly installed in the APX VA and the Engage Button is latched, the battery is a rechargeable nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride, or lithium ion type, the battery contacts are clean and free from foreign material, and the vehicles ignition switch is turned on. If the battery temperature is out-of-range, the Charge LED will illuminate Flashing AMBER and charging will temporarily stop. One of the features of the APX VAs charger is its ability to change from rapid charge (Solid RED LED indication) to trickle charge (Flashing GREEN LED indication), and complete charge (Solid GREEN LED indication) once full battery charge has been achieved. A fully-charged battery that has just been re-inserted into the charger may require a few minutes to change to complete charging and give a Solid GREEN LED indication. If a totally discharged battery is placed in the APX VA, the radios receiver will begin to function normally within a few seconds. Transmission should not be attempted for about 30 seconds (longer if the radio battery is hot or cold) when using a high-power radio, and should be kept to a minimum for the first few minutes. Low-power radios will allow normal operation sooner. Removing the Radio from the APX VA If applicable, unlock the radio by turning the key clockwise. 1. 2. Press the purple disengage button (see Figure 10) to release the radio from the APX VA. If the radio fails to eject, hold down the purple disengage button and pull out the radio. To ensure proper ejection in the future, insert and remove the radio several times. 32 MN000350A02.book Page 1 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM MN000350A02.book Page 2 Tuesday, December 2, 2014 3:01 PM MOTOROLA, MOTO, MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS and the Stylized M logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Motorola Trademark Holdings, LLC and are used under license.
