14221-1500-2000 7 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The Harris XG-25P 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-25P 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: • 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 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.)
14221-1500-2000 8 • As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.59 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. Table 2-1: RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances RADIO FREQUENCY TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) Body Face VHF (136-174MHz) 1.5 cm 2.5 cm The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 2.2 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY During transmissions, this Harris radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems.

14221-1500-2000 9 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 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. WARNING Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on! 3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement WARNING 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. WARNING 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.) 3.1.2 Electronic Devices CAUTION 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!
14221-1500-2000 10 3.1.3 Aircraft WARNING • 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!! 3.1.4 Electric Blasting Caps WARNING 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) 3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres WARNING 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. 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.
14221-1500-2000 11 4 BATTERIES The XG-25P series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly), or Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Please read carefully, the battery information provided, to maximize the useful life of each type of battery. WARNING Do not disassemble or modify Lithium battery packs. Lithium 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. 4.1 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. CAUTION Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in shortened performance by the battery. CAUTION Always use Harris authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the warranty. 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.
14221-1500-2000 12 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 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: • Avoid high temperature during charging. • 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 NiMH, Lithium ion, and Lithium Polymer batteries vary in capacity and life cycle. NiMH, Lithium ion, and Lithium Polymer 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 NiMH battery packs are fully discharged (as indicated by the radio low battery warning) before re-charging. Full discharge is not required for Lithium-ion or Lithium Polymer battery packs. • Periodically condition NiMH 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 and Lithium Polymer 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.

14221-1500-2000 15 5 INTRODUCTION The XG-25P 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-25P portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications. It is designed to support multiple operating modes including: • P25 Trunked Mode • P25 Digital Conventional Mode • Conventional Analog Mode The XG-25P portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be added with software updates. The XG-25P 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 P25 trunked, the user selects a communications “operating” system 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. 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 depends 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-25P. Then refer to the corresponding section(s) within this manual for feature and operation information. Wireless audio and data accessories for the XG-25P are supported by Bluetooth® technology. Additionally, the wireless data interface can be used to connect a computer for programming and configuring radios, with no cable connections required. For security purposes, all connections are initiated and managed from the radio interface and can be secured using AES encryption. Additionally, the Bluetooth transceiver can be disabled, if desired. The XG-25P series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet MIL-STD-810G specifications for wind driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.

The Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and two option buttons are located on the side (Figure 7-2) of the radio. The front mounted keypad of the System model has 15 buttons and the Scan model has six buttons. Refer to Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4, respectively. Figure 7-1: Top View Figure 7-2: Side View
14221-1500-2000 19 7.1.1 Buttons, Knobs, and Switch The functions of the buttons and knob controls vary depending on mode of operation. 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. 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 re-install the System/Group/Channel control 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 pre-programmed for either operation, but not both. PUSH-TO-TALK (PTT) BUTTON The PTT button is pressed before voice transmission begins. Activates one of a number of programmable software options selected during PC programming. Exits the current operation (removing all displays associated with it) and returns the radio to the selected talk group.

P25 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. 8.17.2 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 pre-programmed 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. 8.17.2.1 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. 8.18 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.
14221-1500-2000 36 8.18.1 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. 8.18.2 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. and momentarily turn on. 4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete. To clear the emergency, first press and hold the button. While continuing to hold the button, press the EMERGENCY button. The radio must be programmed to clear emergencies.) 8.19 INDIVIDUAL CALLS 8.19.1 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 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. NOTE The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels. 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 time-out, 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.

To terminate the call, momentarily press the button. 8.20.3 Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it may be necessary to “over-dial” 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
14221-1500-2000 40 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. Scan Model Radio 1.

The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing the button. 8.21 PRE-STORING INDIVIDUAL AND TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS FROM THE KEYPAD Individual Call ID numbers, telephone numbers, and other number sequences for overdialing are stored in the special calls lists when programming the radio. The first ten entry locations of these lists can be changed by the radio operator. The keypad is used when adding, changing, and storing numbers in these entry locations. Use the following procedure to store a number in one of the first ten entries of a special call list: 1. Press the or button to enter the individual call list or the phone call list. is displayed. 2. Scroll through the list using the or keys until one of the first ten entries is reached. NO ENTRY is displayed if the location is empty. 3. Enter the desired number. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and holding 0-9, , or until an underscore appears in the display (telephone interconnect only). The individual call list entries will accept up to 5 digits. The phone call list entries accept a combination of up to 31 digits and pauses. 4. Press and hold the key until the display changes indicating that the number has been stored. Repeat steps 1-4 to store additional numbers, to change numbers already stored, or to change the storage location of a number. 8.22 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION The Status and Message operations allow for the transmission of a pre-programmed status or a pre-programmed message to a P25 site. Each Status and Message is assigned an ID then cross-referenced with the representative status condition (“Off Duty,” for example) or a message (“Call home”). In addition, Status conditions can also be associated with a programmable Menu entry (required for second method of transmitting a Status condition).
14221-1500-2000 42 8.22.1 Status Operation System Model Radio One of two methods can be used to transmit a status condition. METHOD 1: 1. Press the key, then use the or buttons to scroll to the pre-programmed status condition. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from the menu. 2. If STATUS is selected, you need to enter the number of the status condition you intend to transmit. If no status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid selection will display the status 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. METHOD 2: 1. Press the key. 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 status selection can be changed by pressing a different status key 0 through 9, or the status operation can be cancelled by pressing . Both operations must be carried out prior to the time-out period. 8.22.2 Message Operation The following method can be used to transmit a Message using the Message Operation. 1. Press the key. 2. Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 pre-programmed “message” key. If no message has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid selection will permit the message to appear in the top line of the display and the message ID to appear in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time. 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 pre-programmed time-out period. 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
14221-1500-2000 43 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-25P 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. 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 Appears for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the data enabled state. 8.24.2 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 (if pre-programmed as “no data” key). Alert tone will sound. • Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key. Refer to previous bullet. 8.24.3 Data On Operation The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled). DATA ON will appear on the top line in the display for two seconds then the display will return to normal. • 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:
14221-1500-2000 44 • 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. • Press the button. • Press the PTT. • Change a group or system. • Enter Telephone Interconnect mode. • Enter Individual call mode. • Receive a new emergency assignment. • Declare or clear an emergency. • Receive an individual or phone call. • Receive an Agency, Fleet, or System All Call. • Press (Scan model) or (System model) to toggle Scan on or off. 8.24.6 Data Lockout Mode During the voice call scan hang time (pre-programmed) the radio does not receive data calls. 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-25P 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-25P 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.
14221-1500-2000 45 • 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. 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.

14221-1500-2010 5 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The Harris Corporation XG-25P 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-25P 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.
6 14221-1500-2010 • 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 1.5 cm (0.59 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. Table 2-1: RF Exposure Compliance Tested Distances RADIO FREQUENCY BAND TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) Body Face VHF (136-174MHz) 1.5 cm 2.5 cm The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of a RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits of this radio. 2.2 ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE/COMPATIBILITY During transmissions, Harris radios generate RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radios in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 2.3 REGULATORY APPROVALS 2.3.1 Part 15 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
14221-1500-2010 7 2.3.2 Industry Canada This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. 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. 3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message. WARNING Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on. 3.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement WARNING Always keep the antenna at least 0.43 inches (1.5 cm) away from the body and 1.0 inch (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded.
8 14221-1500-2010 WARNING Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if skin comes into contact with a damaged antenna. 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. WARNING Use only supplied or approved antennas. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. 3.1.2 Electronic Devices CAUTION RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are 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! 3.1.3 Aircraft WARNING 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!! 3.1.4 Electric Blasting Caps WARNING 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)
14221-1500-2010 9 3.1.5 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres WARNING 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. 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.
