14221-1100-2010
SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
The Harris XG-75 portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during
transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use
Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by
individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This
radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled
environment.
The XG-75 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this Harris radio complies with the following Standards and
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for
exposure to humans:
2.1
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for
Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect
to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the
Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
CAUTION
•
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may
also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to
Table 6-1.)
•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more
than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
•
ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low
power can reduce RF exposure.
•
ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of
unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance
requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 2-1.)
14221-1100-2010
•
As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.6 cm (0.63 inches)
from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to
the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2
inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.

OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low
lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can
severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the
antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also
improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted
antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always
properly charge the batteries.
3.1
EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.
Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not hold when transmitting a
message.
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!
WARNING
3.2
ANTENNA CARE AND REPLACEMENT
WARNING
WARNING
3.3
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC
regulations. (Refer to Table 6-1.)
ELECTRONIC DEVICES
CAUTION
10
Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn
may result if a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a
damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing
could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations.
RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern
electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. is shielded from RF energy. However,
in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment, always observe
the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!
14221-1100-2010
3.4
AIRCRAFT
WARNING
3.5
Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft!
•
Use it on the ground only with crew permission.
•
DO NOT use while in-flight!!
ELECTRIC BLASTING CAPS
WARNING
3.6
•
To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way
radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the "Turn Off Two-Way
Radios" signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard:
1926.900)
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly
marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
WARNING
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Turn off two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It
is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
11
14221-1100-2010
BATTERIES
The XG-75 series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or LithiumIon (Li-Ion) batteries. Please read carefully, the battery information provided, to maximize the useful life
of each type of battery.
4.1
WARNING
Do not disassemble or modify Lithium Ion battery packs. The Lithium Ion battery
packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these
features be disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak
electrolyte, overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
WARNING
If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact
with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery
electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician
immediately.
CONDITIONING BATTERY PACKS
4.1.1
Conditioning NiMH Battery Packs
Condition a new NiMH battery before putting into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries
that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging
and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery
is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and
discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details.
Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in
shortened performance by the battery.
CAUTION
4.1.2
Additional Information
For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio batteries or establishing a battery
maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367. To order, call toll free at 1-800-368-3277, then select option 7.
4.2
CHARGING BATTERY PACKS
Battery chargers are available from Harris with nominal charge times. Combinations include single and
multi-position charge units.
Harris chargers are specifically designed for charging nickel-based and lithium ion battery packs. The
chargers are chemistry-specific for the battery packs and automatically adjust the charging profiles
accordingly. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for specific operating instructions.
Observe the following guidelines when charging a battery pack:
•
12
Avoid high temperature during charging.
14221-1100-2010
•
Discontinue use if the charger is overheating.
•
Only charge Harris battery packs using a charger approved for use by Harris.
•
Do not leave batteries in the charger indefinitely. For best results, leave the battery in the charger for
two to six hours after the Green Ready LED comes on. Then place the battery pack into service and
fully discharge (as indicated by the radio low battery warning) before re-charging.
If any faults are encountered while charging the battery pack, consult the charger’s manual to determine
the cause and possible corrective action.
4.3
BATTERY PACK USAGE
Both Nickel-based and Lithium ion batteries vary in capacity and life cycle. Nickel-based and Lithiumion type batteries require basic usage guidelines be followed in order to optimize the battery runtime or
shift life.
The following guidelines will help optimize the battery runtime or shift life:
•
Ensure Nickel-based battery packs are fully discharged (as indicated by the radio low battery
warning) before re-charging. Full discharge is not required for Lithium Ion battery packs.
•
Periodically condition Nickel-based battery packs. The frequency should be determined based on
usage patterns (refer to ECR-7367). If the battery is fully discharged (to radio Low Battery warning)
during routine use, the frequency of conditioning may be reduced. Lithium Ion batteries do not suffer
from memory-effect and therefore do not require conditioning.
Do not leave any Harris rechargeable batteries in a charger for more than a few days.
4.4
CHANGING THE BATTERY PACK
4.4.1
Removing the Battery Pack
Make sure the power to the radio is turned off.
CAUTION
Although the XG-75 has been designed to tolerate changing the battery pack without

INTRODUCTION
The XG-75 is available in two models: the Scan model with a limited 6-button front-mounted keypad and
the System model with a 15-button DTMF front-mounted keypad. The Harris XG-75 portable radio
delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications. It is designed to support
multiple operating modes including:
•
EDACS® (Enhanced Digital Access Communications System) or ProVoice™ Trunked Modes
•
P25 Trunked Mode
•
P25 Digital Conventional Mode
•
Conventional Analog Mode
The XG-75 portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be
added with software updates.
The XG-75 supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features, including talk group calls, priority
scanning, emergency calls, late call entry, and dynamic reconfiguration. It performs autonomous roaming
for wide area applications. High quality voice coding and robust audio components assure speech clarity.
In the trunked modes, the user selects a communications “operating” system (i.e., EDACS, ProVoice, or
P25) and group. While communicating in a trunked mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and
is controlled via digital communication with the system controller (e.g., a CSD in an EDACS system).
This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels.
In Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel. A
channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the radio’s programming, and the
particular radio system. Most features described in this manual can be enabled through programming.
Consult your System Administrator for the particular features programmed into your XG-75. Then refer
to the corresponding section(s) within this manual for feature and operation information.
The XG-75 series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet MILSTD-810G specifications for wind driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.

7.1.1
Buttons, Knobs, and Switch
The functions of the buttons and knob controls vary depending on mode of operation. The dual position
A/B switch is currently software defined only in ECP mode. Primary functions of the button, switch, and
knob controls are discussed in general terms in the following.
Table 7-1: Buttons, Knobs, and Switch Functions
POWER ON/OFF-VOLUME
CONTROL KNOB
Applies power to the radio and adjusts audio volume.
Rotating the control clockwise applies power to the radio. If enabled through
programming, a single alert tone indicates the radio is operational.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. A minimum volume
level can be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low
volume setting. While adjusting the volume, the display momentarily indicates
the volume level (i.e., VOL=31). The volume ranges from a minimum
programmable level of zero (displayed as OFF in the display) up to 40, which is
the loudest level.
SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL
CONTROL KNOB
Used to select groups/channels. This is a 16-position rotary knob.
EMERGENCY/HOME BUTTON
Automatically selects a pre-programmed “Home” Group/System by pressing and
holding for a programmed duration OR it can be used to declare an emergency by
pressing and holding for a programmed duration. The button can be preprogrammed for either operation, but not both.
PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT)
BUTTON
The PTT button is pressed before voice transmission begins.
Note: A mechanical stop, used to limit the number of accessible positions, is
shipped with the radio but must be installed. To install the mechanical stop,
remove the System/Group/Channel control knob, loosen the set screw on the
System/Group/Channel control knob metal base (using a 1.27 mm hex wrench),
and remove the System/Group/Channel control knob metal base. Replace the 16
channel ring with the channel stop ring located at the desired channel. Re-install
the System/Group/Channel control knob metal base, tighten the set screw, and reinstall the System/Group/Channel control knob.

UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR
The Universal Device Connector (UDC) provides connections for external accessories such as a headset,
a speaker-microphone, audio test box, audio test cables, and programming cables. The UDC is located on
the right side of the radio, opposite the PTT Button. The UDC facilitates programming and testing the
radio. The UDC pins perform different functions depending on the accessory attached to the UDC.
Figure 7-7: XG-75 15-Pin Universal Device Connector
7.5
NOISE CANCELLATION
The XG-75 features Harris’ proprietary noise suppression capability to provide clear and crisp voice
quality in high-noise environments for use in any mode, including both analog and digital
communications.
The XG-75 has two microphones; one located on the front (primary) and one on the rear (secondary). The
primary microphone operates in exactly the same manner as a normal radio and is the one you talk into.
The secondary microphone is used to pick up the surrounding noise when noise cancellation is turned on.
In the case where noise cancellation is enabled and a speaker microphone is attached to the XG-75, talk
into the speaker microphone. In this mode, XG-75 front microphone is used to pick up the surrounding
noise, and the rear microphone is unused.
If the secondary microphone is blocked, the XG-75 operates as though noise cancellation is turned off.
7.5.1
Turning Noise Cancellation On and Off
A button on the radio or the A/B switch can be programmed to toggle noise cancellation on or off.
OR

again to toggle noise cancellation on or off.
The top line of the display will briefly display “NC ON” or “NC OFF.” When noise cancellation is
enabled, the icon is displayed on the bottom of the display.
23
14221-1100-2010
7.5.2
Using Noise Cancellation
When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:
•
Talk within two (2) inches of primary microphone (see Figure 7-8).
•
Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.
•
If possible, face the noise source when talking into the radio (see Figure 7-8).
•
Ensure the primary and secondary microphones are not covered. See Section 7.5.4 for more
information on the primary and secondary microphones.
•
In very noisy environments, it is o.k. to yell into the radio. The radio can handle very loud input
levels.
Figure 7-8: Using the Noise Cancellation Feature
7.5.3
The Effect of Distance from the Microphone
Unlike a normal microphone system, noise cancellation makes the level of your voice diminish quickly as
you move away from the radio. In essence, the radio starts to see your voice as surrounding noise.
Whereas, you may be comfortable speaking up to a foot away from the front of a normal radio, noise
cancellation requires that you keep it close.
7.5.4
Primary versus Secondary Microphone
7.5.4.1
Without a Speaker Microphone Attached
The primary microphone is located on the front of the radio and the secondary is on the back of the radio.
7.5.4.2
With a Speaker Microphone Attached
When a speaker microphone is attached, the radio electronically switches over to use the radio’s front
microphone as secondary. The microphone on the attached speaker microphone becomes the primary
microphone.

NOTE
8.2
In the trunked environment, CC SCAN is displayed if communication with the
system's control channel cannot be established. This may occur if, for example, the
radio is out of range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another
location or select another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for
trunked mode operations. CC SCAN is displayed on the group line until a control
channel is accessed.

8.14 ENCRYPTION
The XG-75 portable radio supports AES and DES encryption. When operating on a group or channel
programmed for encryption, all transmissions are encrypted and the radio receives clear and encrypted
signals. The icon is displayed when encryption is enabled. If enabled via programming, the encryption
can be enabled or disabled by pressing the
key and selecting the PRIVATE menu option. If not
enabled, the radio displays FRCD PVT when you try to disable encryption.

8.16 SCANNING TRUNKED SYSTEMS
The radio can be programmed using Radio Personality Manager (RPM) with the following System Scan
features. Then these features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered on. A key or menu
option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled during radio operation. The System
Scan state will be maintained through system changes but will default to on when the radio is powered on.

Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message
is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.
8.16.1
Wide Area System Scanning
The XG-75 series radio can be pre-programmed through RPM for Wide Area System Scan operation for
roaming across mobile systems. EDACS radio systems manage the radios assigned to the system via a
control channel (CC). Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be
programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is
found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone.
8.16.2
Priority System Scan
The radio can also be pre-programmed for Priority System Scan. The priority system is the desired or
preferred system. While receiving the control channel of the selected system, the radio will periodically
leave the selected system and search for the control channel of the priority system. This is done at a preprogrammed rate defined by the value in the Priority Scan Time control, unless the ProScan™ algorithm is
enabled, as explained in the following sections. This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button
is pressed or when the call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, or meets the
predefined criteria (ProScan), the radio will automatically switch to the priority system.
8.16.2.1 Enabling the Wide Area System Scan Function
If the radio cannot find the control channel of the selected system and begins to wide area system scan,
the radio will only scan for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the wide area
scan list.
8.16.2.2 When ProScan is Enabled
The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the pre-preogrammed
criteria ProScan options are met. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio will scan for the
priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, set in RPM (refer to RPM On-Line Help).
See Section 8.16.3 for more information on ProScan.
36
14221-1100-2010
8.16.3
ProScan
The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications. ProScan is
a multi-site, system-scanning algorithm. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a new
system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops below a predefined level. This
algorithm enables each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compare it
with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list. The signal quality
metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) and Control Channel Verification (CCV) measurements. When the selected system
degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel. Once a
control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new
system and emit a tone (if enabled through programming). If the control channel is completely lost, the
radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable
control channel is found.
8.17 EMERGENCY OPERATION
The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency system
and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through
programming. When an emergency is declared, scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency
has been cleared.
8.17.1
Receiving an Emergency Call
When receiving an Emergency Call on the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and
is
displayed. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is
cleared.
8.17.2
Declaring an Emergency Call
Perform the following steps to send an emergency call to a selected system and group (or on an optionally
pre-programmed group).
1. Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for
approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check
with the system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request with the radio ID
until an emergency channel assignment is received.
2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio
has auto keyed (see Table 8-1) and is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two in
the display until the emergency is cleared.
3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice.

8.18 INDIVIDUAL CALLS
8.18.1
Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call
When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the
assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of
37
14221-1100-2010
the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list.
The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five
seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the button or the individual call
mode is entered.
The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels.
NOTE
If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call
will automatically be directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back timeout, the radio will return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of the LCD.
To respond after the call-back time-out, press the
key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on
the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an
individual call back to the original caller.
The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are
stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The
most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial
Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it may be necessary to “overdial” more digits to access banking services, answering machines, credit card calls, or other types of
systems that require Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) access digits.
Overdial operation can also be used to initiate a telephone interconnect call via DTMF signaling if a dial
tone has already been accessed on the system. This method makes a telephone interconnect call while
operating in the conventional mode but will also function in trunked mode if a dial tone is directly
accessible.
Telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing can be stored in the phone list when
programming the radio. These numbers are accessed by pressing the
key, then following the selection
mode rules. Perform the following procedures to access and dial these stored numbers.

2. Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 status condition key. If no
status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display
NO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the status condition to appear in the top
line of the display and the status ID to appear in the second line of the display for a
pre-programmed time.
After the time-out expires or the
key has been pressed (the
key will override the
time-out period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the
radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time.
View the currently selected status after it has been transmitted by pressing the
key and then the
key and then the button prior to the time-out period. If the status was not sent successfully to the site,
the text associated with the status condition will flash in the display.

The message selection can be changed by pressing a different message key 0 through 9, or the message
operation can be cancelled by pressing . Both operations must be carried out prior to the preprogrammed time-out period.
8.22 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION (EDACS)
Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the
system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will
not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup
groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a
digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in
dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO
ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for
scanned groups.
After the time-out expires or the
key has been pressed (the
key will override the time-out
period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can
be polled by the site at a future time.
8.22.1
Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and
the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic
group.
8.23 MACRO KEY OPERATION
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input
(i.e., keypad keys, option buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed
or when released. A macro key can also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next
time the macro key is activated.
For detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or
administrator.
8.24 DATA COMMUNICATIONS
The XG-75 series portable radios, when operating in trunked configuration, permit both voice and data
calls to be transmitted and received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, either
data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio. Data
communications is not supported in conventional mode.
The radios can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232
compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be
connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio.
44
14221-1100-2010
Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or
received).
8.24.1
Displays
The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation:
TX DATA
Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call.
RX DATA
Appears on top line of display when the radio is receiving a data call.
DATA OFF Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state.
DATA ON
8.24.2

state.
Data Off Operation
The radio can be placed in the data disabled state by any of the following methods. When the data state is
disabled, DATA OFF appears on the top line of the display.
•
Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone will
sound.
•
Pressing button
•
Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key. Refer to previous bullet.
8.24.3

•
Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key toggles data state on or off.
•
Clearing an emergency. This is valid only if the emergency caused “DATA OFF” operation.
8.24.4
Exiting Data Calls
Under normal conditions, the radio enters the scan lockout mode and returns to the control channel after
completion of a data call (transmit or receive). If, during a data call, one of the following operations
occurs, the data call is immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function:
•
If the PTT is activated.
•
If an Emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button.
•
If a group or system is changed.
8.24.5
Scan Lockout Mode
Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled, scanning will stop temporarily.
There are two independent pre-programmed times associated with this mode; one after a received data
call and one after a transmitted data call. During this time the scan indicator will flash to indicate that scan
is enabled but temporarily suspended. This condition typically returns to normal scan operation when the
pre-programmed time expires; however, the following operations and conditions will terminate the scan
lockout mode before the timeout has expired.
•

8.25 SELECTIVE SIGNALING (CONVENTIONAL)
Selective signaling controls the muting and unmuting of the receive audio. This allows a user or
dispatcher to selectively call an individual radio or group of radios. The XG-75 portable radios support
selective signaling in Type 99 decode format.
8.25.1
Type 99 Operation
Type 99 is a conventional in-band, two-tone sequential signaling method. This conventional signaling
protocol controls the muting and unmuting of a radio. Type 99 encoded base stations, mobiles, or
portables can selectively call individual units or groups of units in a conventional system. Type 99 is
used in paging operations providing a dispatcher with the ability to selectively call a radio or a group of
radios. If Type 99 is enabled in the radio personality, the radio can decode Individual, Group, and
Supergroup Type 99 calls.
In a selective signaling environment, the XG-75 portable radios operate in one of two states, Monitor
mode or Selective Call mode.
•
In Monitor mode, Type 99 “OFF,” the decoder is disabled and all calls are heard by the user.
•
In Selective Call mode, Type 99 “ON,” the decoder is enabled and only calls intended for the user
will be heard.
8.25.2
Type 99 with or without Channel Guard
Selective signaling operates with or without Channel Guard. If Channel Guard is enabled, the radio can
be programmed with an "And" or an "Or" option, determined by programming with T99 Mute Control.
•
If the "And" option is programmed, T99 calls require the correct selective signaling (T99 tone
sequence) AND the correct Channel Guard tones are heard by the user.
•
If the "Or" option is programmed, calls with the correct Channel Guard tones OR calls with the
correct T99 tone sequence and Channel Guard tones are heard by the user.
A radio operating in Selective Call mode that receives a selective call switches to the Monitor mode (after
decoding the T99 call) and the TX/RX LED flashes green. The TX/RX LED indicates whether the
channel has a carrier signal.
46
14221-1100-2010
8.25.3
Resetting Type 99 after a Call
After decoding a Type 99 call, the radio operates in Monitor mode and all traffic on the channel is
audible. If the channel has Channel Guard, only the traffic with the radio's Channel Guard tone will be
heard.
To reset Type 99 operation, use one of the following methods:
•
Press the
button.
•
Press the
button, if enabled through programming to toggle Type 99 on/off.
•
Allow the "Auto-Reset" timer, if enabled through programming, to reset the Type 99 decoder.
8.25.4
Type 99 Disable after PTT
The radio may be programmed with the Type 99 Disable after PTT feature, which automatically disables
the Type 99 decoder after a transmission.
Use one of the methods outlined in the Section 8.25.3 to reset Type 99 operation.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
9.1
IMMERSIBLE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
XG-75 radios labelled “immersible” (see Figure 9-1) require periodic testing using specialized equipment
to verify the radio’s watertight integrity.
To recertify the watertight integrity of the XG-75 portable radio, the radio must be inspected by a service
center authorized and certified by Harris to perform the necessary tests to verify the watertight integrity.
The Harris Service Network includes company-owned service facilities as well as the capabilities of
service partners located throughout the world. We have over 250 Authorized Service Centers (ASC)
qualified to perform warranty repairs, installation and maintenance services. For a list of ASCs, contact
our Customer Care Center.
Preventive Maintenance for Immersion-Rated Radios
CAUTION
XG-75 radios with Immersion Option MAEV-PKGMR must be serviced by a service
center authorized and certified by Harris to perform the necessary tests to verify
watertight integrity. As part of a thorough preventive maintenance plan, Harris
recommends Immersion-Rated XG-75 radios are, at a minimum, tested and recertified on an annual basis. Harris further recommends that the radios be tested on
or close to the anniversary of the ship date printed on the Model Number label on the
back of the radio (see Figure 9-1).

2. SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
WARNING
The Harris Corporation XG-75 portable radio generates
RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This
radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use
Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of
employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the
ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT
intended for use by the “General Population” in an
uncontrolled environment.
The XG-75 portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF
exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this radio complies
with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and
electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to
humans:
•
FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating
Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Exposure to Radio
Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for
Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
•
American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE
Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous
Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.
2.1
RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
CAUTION
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is
within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
•
DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may
damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be
exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by
Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris Corporation for use
with this radio.
•
DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty
cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is
transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio
will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
14221-1100-2020
•
ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to
conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.
•
ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt
clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the
FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to
be exceeded.
•
As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT
LEAST 1.6 cm (0.63 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00
inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure
compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best
sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris Corporation
recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your
mouth, and slightly off to one side.

3. OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio.
Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges,
inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range
of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be
obtained by ensuring the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another
direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications.
Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted
antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a
portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries.
14221-1100-2020
4. EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a
message.
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered
on.
