Dynamic Zone “DZ” APX 7000 radio
Dynamic Zone “DZ”
is available only in the APX series portable and mobile radios with the “RED-15” or later program
What is a Dynamic Zone
?
Dynamic Zone, allows users to program any radio channel in the radio, in any order, onto the DZ up to 16 slots.
This is useful, if you need to change zones and channels often. By pre-programming the DZ with your most used channels, you will
not need to change zones as often.
Multi band radios may have more than one Dynamic zone, (see the channel plan for multi band radios)
When programming a Dynamic Zone “DZ”, turn the volume down.
Newly issued radios come with the DZ empty. A empty channel will read “Blank” and make the “Empty List” tone, until it is programmed.
Programming a DZ is much like programming the Scan channels, if you stop or take too long during the programming process,
the radio will revert back to the beginning.
Before programming the DZ, determine which channels you want and what order you want them in
(use your channel plan to help find what you need).
Programming should start with channel 1.
Channel 1 should be your dispatch or home channel.

GPS On and Off:
GPS location is available on the APX series radios and does slightly increase the drain on the battery.
As of this writing the GPS info is only available to the radio user and the GPS internal receiver can be turned off and on.
This may change at a later date with a new system.
To turn the GPS off or on:
1. The GPS indicates
ON
if the satellite symbol is flashing
3. Using the Left/Right arrow keypad find the word “LOC” on the screen, press and release the key below “LOC”.
4. Press and release the “Optn” key. Using the Up/Dn arrow keypad to highlight
“Turn off GPS”,
press and release “Sel” then “Exit”,
the satellite symbol will no longer be displayed.
5. To turn the GPS
ON
repeat the above steps and press
“ON”
next to the “Optn” key, the satellite symbol will reappear.
