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.
Your radio can also be configured to allow you to accept or reject an upgrade.

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.
NOTE:
Do not remove the power cable or power down the radio during the firmware
upgrade process.
The radio resets and the installation take several minutes.
NOTE:
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.
If the

button is not long pressed within 15 seconds, the
UPGRADE
display is
cleared until the next radio power up.

Site Selectable Alerts (ASTRO 25 Trunking)
A Site Selectable Alert (SSA) is an Intelligent Lighting indicator with audio alert. The alert is sent to
radios at sites to notify the users when special situations occur.
Your radio supports up to 250 site aliases. Only authorized radios are enabled to send SSA.
NOTE:
The alert alias, alert tone, and alert period are configured in the Customer Programming
Software. Contact your system administrator for more information.
The SSA alert volume is reduced when voice audio is received at the same time. It is important
that the SSA audio file is created with clear loud audio to ensure audio clarity at reduced levels.
