NOTICE: The radio enables the sensor only when all the guns or tasers are placed
into the holster. A tone sounds and the radio displays Sensor On temporarily.
• If the timer expires without an event, a tone sounds, the radio switches the sensor to enabled
state, and clears the sensor status from the display.
• If the preprogrammed Sensor button is long-pressed, the OTA sensor notification is enabled.
6.14.10.4.2
Disabling the Sensor Permanently
Procedure:
1 Long-press the preprogrammed Sensor button to permanently disable the sensors.
A tone sounds and the radio displays Sensor Off. While in this state, no events is reported
over-the-air (OTA), regardless of how many times the gun is drawn, re-inserted or weapon is
fired.
The radio generates a bad key tone if the sensor is not allowed to be disabled or there is no
sensor connected to the radio when the preprogrammed button or menu select button is
pressed.
2 Long-press the preprogrammed Sensor button again to enable the OTA Sensor notification.
A tone sounds, and the radio displays SNSR OFF.

ASTRO 25 (P25) Programming Over Project 25 (POP25)
Also called Over-the-Air Programming, this feature allows configuration data and firmware to be
upgraded to your radio over-the-air. Full use of the radio is retained during the data transfer without
interrupting communication.
If the upgrade happens on the ASTRO 25 and ASTRO Conventional systems, the upgrade pauses to
give priorities to voice call, and continues after the voice call ended. If the upgrade happens on a Wi-Fi
network, the upgrade process runs concurrently with voice calls.
Once a configuration upgrade is downloaded to your radio, you can install new changes immediately or
delay changes to be installed on the radio when it is being powered up.
6.15.1
Responding to the Notification of Upgrade
When and where to use: If a configuration upgrade is downloaded to your radio, an alert tone sounds
and the upgrade is installed at the next radio power up. If a firmware upgrade is downloaded to your
radio, an alert tone sounds and the display shows UPGRADE.
Procedure:
1 To accept the upgrade, long press the Top Side (Select) button within 15 seconds of UPGRADE
appearing on the display.
The radio resets and the installation takes several minutes.
