  14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 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 7-1.)  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, Rev. D   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 (136-174 MHz) 1.5 cm 2.5 cm 700/800 MHz 1.6 cm 2.5 cm UHF-L (378-470 MHz) 1.6 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. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio 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.

  14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 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 battery.  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.  CAUTION 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 7-1.) 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, Rev. D   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, Rev. D 11 4  CLEANING Keep the exterior of the radio, battery, antenna, and radio accessories clean.  Periodically clean using the following procedures: 1. To remove dust and dirt, use a soft clean damp cloth. 2. For more rigorous cleaning, use the following procedure:  CAUTION Do not use chemical cleaners, spray, or petroleum-based products.  They may damage the radio housing.  We recommend using an “antibacterial hand soap dishwashing liquid.” a. Cover the speaker and microphone areas to protect them when cleaning.   b. Prepare the cleaning solution using warm water. c. Drop the cleaning cloth into the solution, wring it out, and wipe the radio clean.  NOTE Do not apply cleaning solution directly on radio.  Repeat the process until the radio is clean. d. Follow up by wiping off the radio with clean damp cloth using warm water only. e. Wipe dry with clean cloth. 3. Remove the battery and wipe the battery and radio contacts using a soft dry cloth to remove dirt or grease.  This will ensure efficient power transfer from the battery to the radio. 4. Remove any accessories and clean the accessories Universal Device Connector (UDC) contacts using a clean dry cloth.  When the UDC is not in use, cover the connector with the protective dust cap to prevent the build-up of dust or water particles. 5. If the radio is used in a harsh environment (such as driving rain, salt fog, etc.), it may be necessary to periodically dry  and  clean  the  battery and  radio  contacts  with a  soft dry  cloth  or soft-bristle non-metallic brush.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D   12 5  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  the  battery  information  provided carefully 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. 5.1  CONDITIONING BATTERY PACKS 5.1.1  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. 5.1.2  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, Rev. D 13 5.2  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. 5.3  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.  5.4  CHANGING THE BATTERY PACK 5.4.1  Removing the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned off. CAUTION Although the XG-25P  has  been  designed to tolerate changing the battery pack without turning power off, Harris recommends turning the radio off before changing battery packs to ensure safety and best operation. 1.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. D   16 6  INTRODUCTION 6.1  GENERAL 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  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. 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.

Any group that is not in a trunked system group scan list will show a "blank" for the time out period when it is the selected channel. 8.17.4  Nuisance Delete  A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing the   key (Scan model) or the   key (System model) during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered off and then powered on. 8.18  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. Enable/Disable via Menu Selection Press    and  then  use  the    or  buttons  to  scroll  through  the  selections  until  SYS  SCAN  is displayed.  Then  press    to  toggle  the  System  Scan  state.  The  SYSC  ON  or  SYSC  OFF  display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Enable/Disable via Pre-Programmed Keypad Key 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. 8.18.1  Wide Area System Scanning The XG-25P series radio can be pre-programmed through RPM for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming  across  mobile  systems.    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. 8.18.2  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. 8.18.2.1  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.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D   34 8.19  EMERGENCY OPERATION The  radio's  emergency  behaviour  varies  depending  on  radio  programming.    When  an  emergency  is declared, scanning stops and restarts only after the emergency has been cleared. 8.19.1  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. 8.19.2  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 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.
  14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 35 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.  Figure 8-9: Calls Received Lists To access the Calls Received List, press the   key twice.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. D   38 8.21.3  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 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.

Repeat steps 1-4 to store additional numbers, to change numbers already stored, or to change the storage location of a number. 8.23  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, Rev. D   40 8.23.1  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.  8.23.2  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.  8.24  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 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
  14221-1500-2000, Rev. D 41 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. 8.25  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). 8.25.1  Displays The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation: TX DATA Appears on top line of the display when the radio is transmitting a data call.  RX DATA Appears on top line of the display when the radio is receiving a data call.  DATA OFF Appears on top line of the display when the radio is in the data disabled state.  DATA ON Appears for two seconds on top line of  the display when the radio is toggled to the data enabled state.  8.25.2  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. 8.25.3  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. 8.25.4  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, Rev. D   42  If the PTT is activated.  If an Emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button.  If a group or system is changed. 8.25.5  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. 8.25.6  Data Lockout Mode During the voice call scan hang time (pre-programmed), the radio does not receive data calls. 8.26  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.  8.26.1  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, Rev. D 43  In Selective Call mode, Type 99 “ON,” the decoder is enabled and  only calls intended for the user will be heard.  8.26.2  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.   8.26.3  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.  8.26.4  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 8.26.3 to reset Type 99 operation.
