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

 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

6.2 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.

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

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.

8.20 INDIVIDUAL CALLS

8.20.1 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.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. D

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.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. D

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.

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

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

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

 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

 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.
