    Product Manuals which are listed in your Price Pages.
    2.1 A Common Design Approach
    All the radios in the GM Series share a common design, the latest RF and semiconductor
    technology has been used to produce wideband and fully synthesised radios that offer :
    All the radios share a common appearance, common accessories and similar user interfaces.
    High quality audio allowing effective and efficient communication.
    Innovative remote mount design for ease of installation.

    Wide area coverage providing successful communication over a larger
    range.

    GM Series radios - a considerable benefit for you and your customers.

    same way. This should mean that it will be easier for you and your customers
    to learn how to use the radios.

    2.2 Radio Software Upgrades
    Motorola realise that as communication requirements for you and your customers evolve, it is
    necessary to be able to offer a communication solution to meet these changing requirements which
    does not force you or your customers to replace existing radios.
    Radio software upgrade tools will be available to allow new functionality to be added quickly and
    easily to most GM Series radios.
    Benefits
    You, our channel partners, can upgrade your stock quickly and efficiently.
    End users can benefit from new functionality without the cost and inconvenience of buying
    new radios.
    This will provide you with the ability to offer a changing range of radio benefits to respond to
    the evolving needs of your customers.
    2.3 Quality Assurance
    2.3.1 Accelerated Life Testing
    Each model in the GM Series has passed the Motorola Accelerated Life Test (ALT). This testing
    simulates 5 years hard use in the field and all Motorola radios pass this rigorous test.
    2.3.2 Environmental Protection
    All GM Series radios have been designed and tested by Motorola to meet the European standard
    specification IP54 and US Military specifications 810 C, D and E.
    2.3.3 IP54
    This standard demonstrates the radios ability to withstand driving rain and dust directed at the radio
    from all directions.
    2.3.4 Military Standards 810 C, D and E
    These Military standards ensure efficient radio operation in rough environments. All radios meet the
    following specifications :
    Low pressureHigh temperatureRainHumidity
    Salt fogDustVibrationShock
