Ignition Only Power Up
In this option, the radio turns on only when ignition is detected and turns off when ignition is
removed. It does not turn on/off with the Power button press.
If the radio is configured with the Auto Power Off Timer, it automatically turns off after being inactive
for a period (with or without ignition).
NOTICE:
If the radio is turned on with an Emergency Power Up footswitch-press, you are required to
press the Power button to turn off the radio even if ignition is not present.
If the radio is previously turned off due to the Auto Power Off Timer, you are required to
press the Power button to turn on the radio even if ignition is present.
6.22.1
Using Emergency Power Up
When and where to use:This feature allows you to power on the radio and automatically transmits an
emergency mode transmission on personalities with emergency enabled, with the use of a footswitch.
This feature is not available if the Ignition Switch option is set to either Tx Inhibit or PTT Tx Inhibit.
Procedure:
Press the footswitch to turn on the radio and launch Emergency.
A tone sounds and the display shows Emergency.

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.
6.23.1
Responding to the Notification of Upgrade
Procedure:
1 The display shows Upgrade? and two short, medium- pitched tones sound every 30 seconds
until the user makes a choice of either accepting, delaying, or rejecting the request.
2 Perform one of the following actions:
One of the following scenarios occurs:
• If you choose to accept, the display shows Programming Dont power off to indicate the
upgrade is about to begin. The radio resets to install the upgrade. In the case of configuration data
upgrade, the process only takes a few seconds. In the case of firmware upgrade, the installation
takes several minutes.
NOTICE: The radio cannot be used while the upgrade is being installed. Therefore, make
sure to only accept the upgrade at a convenient time when immediate radio use is not
required.
