Connectivity
This section explains the management of connections between your radio and a variety of networks and
other devices.
20.1
LTE
Your radio is set up with Long Term Evolution (LTE) broadband connection to enable Smart Programming
out-of-the box, and also the SmartConnect and SmartLocate features.
In some countries, an LTE SIM may be installed into the radio by Motorola Solutions before delivery. Each
preinstalled SIM is locked to the specific radio so it cannot operate in any other radio or device. The SIM is
located in a slot in the rear chassis. Do not remove the SIM, even if LTE is not active or in use.
NOTE: On certain occasions, the Access Point Name (APN) information needs to be edited on the
device to establish connectivity with the country's SIM carrier company.
20.1.1
Editing APN Configuration
Procedure:
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. Tap Advanced → Access Point Names.
3. Tap Continue when prompted.
NOTE: The fields that cannot be edited are greyed out.
20.2
SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when LMR is out of range by switching to a
Wi-Fi or LTE network.
Before switching broadband connections, your radio compares the relative signal strength of the various
broadband connection types to one another, as well as LMR. Your radio remains or returns to LMR when
all the other broadband connections fall below the quality thresholds. SmartConnect selects Wi-Fi over
LTE when both broadband connections are considered the same quality according to the SmartConnect
quality threshold. Otherwise, the highest quality broadband adapter is selected. In addition, a radio operating
on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher priority or quality connection while idle on
SmartConnect.
