CLOCK, PROFILE, & BATTERY:
The APX 4000/6000 allows the user to change the day,
date, and time of the radio. For instance, users can opt to
use a 12hr clock or a 24hr clock. This option is selected by
pressing the menu select buttons under the "Clck" tab on
the radio's menu bar.
This function of the radio is a matter of convenience and it
has no bearing on the radio's functionality. The clock will
remember the time if the battery is removed; however, the
user must manually adjust it to account for time changes.
The APX 4000/6000 enables the user to select radio profiles
to suit his or her needs. This menu is accessed by selecting
"Prfl" on the menu bar.
Profiles enable the user of the radio to tailor its operation
regarding backlight, tones, and audio.
The profiles available for the FRCOG/CoMIRS radios are
limited to three choices: "Default", "No Lights" and "No
Lights, Speaker or Tones". Default enables the backlight on
the screen, the speaker and tones (such as whenever a
button is pushed). " No Lights" turns off the screen backlight
for tactical operations. The "No Lights, Speaker, Tones"
profile turns off the screen backlight, all tones and the
speaker. If the unit is paired with a headset or blue tooth
speaker you will still be able to hear through that device.
Again this would be for tactical operations. A warning should
be given that you will not be able to see the screen to make
adjustments to your radio unless you are in good lighting.
The APX 4000/6000 portable radios are designed to use
Motorola IMPRES batteries. IMPRES batteries have a chip
in them that communicates with the AC charger; this helps to
recondition the batteries and negate "memory effect."
In addition to the battery icon on the radio's displays, you
can access the battery menu by selecting "Batt" on the
menu bar. It will allow you to see the battery's remaining
life measured as a percentage, the remaining life
measured in milliamp hours (mAh), and the estimated
number of charging cycles the battery has gone through.
