User Guide
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 radio’s battery, the
vehicle’s 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.
Before using this product, read the operating instructions for safe
usage contained in the RF Energy Exposure and Product Safety
section of this manual.
