REGULATORY INFORMATION 2 PRODUCT SAFETY BOOKLET Before operating the HDP150 portable radio, read the safety and RF exposure guidelines contained in Product Safety Booklet included with the radio. RF EXPOSURE GUIDELINES The HDP150 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 HDP150 radio has been tested and complies with the Federal Communications Commission (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 Office of Engineering and Technology (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. WARNINGWARNING
REGULATORY INFORMATION Publication 14222-1160-2000 3 To ensure 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. • 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 LED indicator on the top of the radio lights red in color. The radio transmits when its “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) key is pressed. • Always transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure. Refer to page 44 for additional information. • 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. • ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna at least 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) from the body and face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. To provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends holding the front of the radio between 1 and 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters) from your mouth when transmitting into the radio’s microphone. For addition information on RF exposure, refer to the Product Safety Booklet included with the radio. CAUTIONNOTE

BASIC OPERATIONS Publication 14222-1160-2000 19 PRIVATE CALLS A private call is a call from one radio user to another radio user. Two types of private calls are available per configuration performed by the trunked radio system’s network management personnel. The configured type determines how the call is answered. The two types are: Full Off-Air Call Set-Up — With FOACSU, both the calling radio and called radio ring before the called party answers the call. The call must be manually answered. Off-Air Call Set-Up — With OACSU, the call is automatically placed without any indication from either the calling radio or called radio. The radio cannot make private or group calls if it has not successfully registered with the trunked radio system. Also, group calls cannot be made if the Group Call Selector knob is in an unprogrammed position. Transmitting a Private Call When transmitting a private call, the icon displays. A private call can be transmitted using any method described in the following subsections. When transmitting (i.e., PTT key depressed), hold the front of the radio between 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 centimeters) from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. This will ensure optimal reception at the receiving radio unit(s). Never shout or whisper when transmitting. As illustrated on page 6, the radio’s microphone is located just above the display.

BASIC OPERATIONS Publication 14222-1160-2000 27 GROUP CALLS A group call is a call from one radio user to a group of radio users. This includes general group calls and broadcast group calls. With a general group call, both the calling radio user and the called radio users can transmit. However, with a broadcast group call, only the calling radio user can transmit; the called radio users can only received (listen) to the calling radio user’s voice transmission. Broadcast group calls can only be made from a radio if the radio is authorized to do so by the radio dealer. Group Attributes Each group is pre-programmed by your radio dealer with one of the following four main attributes. Participant The radio can receive calls from and transmit calls to a participant group only when the group is selected with the Group Call Selector knob. In other words, the group must be selected with the knob in order to communicate via the group. Response Within the currently selected subgroup, the radio can receive group calls from a response group, regardless of the position the Group Call Selector knob. However, to transmit to the group, the group must be selected with the knob. Background A background group cannot be viewed via the radio’s menu or selected via the Group Call Selector knob. However, the radio can receive calls made on a background group and the radio user can call back (transmit) to the group within a pre-defined time period. Since a background group is not selectable, radio users cannot make calls on it until a call is received on it. Radio ID The Radio ID group can receive calls from the Participant and Response groups in all subgroups or the Background groups in its belonging subgroup, when it is selected by the Group Call Selector knob. However, it cannot make calls.

MENU NAVIGATION AND OPERATIONS 40 HUNT MENU The radio has two main types of hunt algorithms. Each of these algorithms has hunt subtypes. Use the Hunt menu to select a desired or required hunt mode. To access this menu (if programmed) press the Menu key in the home screen and then select Hunt. Alternately, if programmed, use the respective shortcut key. Menu selections are described in the subsections that follow. • TSCC Hunt for Radio Registration — See page 40  Fixed Control Channel — See page 41 o Short Hunt o Comprehensive Hunt o Team Hunt  Flexible Control Channel — See page 42 • Hunt for Smooth Communications (after Registration) — See page 42  Background Hunt — See page 42  Home Station Hunt — See page 42  Handover Hunt — See page 43 TSCC Hunt In a trunked radio system, a radio is required to register with a base station prior to normal operation. The TSCC Hunt feature enables the radio to find an appropriate base station’s trunked system control channel for registration. Before registering (typically right after radio turn on), the radio automatically begins hunting for control channels of available trunked base stations. During this time, it displays “Registering, Please Wait!” and the icon. Also, the LED indicator on the top of the radio flashes orange slowly. The radio employs two different TSCC Hunt subtypes, as described in the following subsections:
MENU NAVIGATION AND OPERATIONS Publication 14222-1160-2000 41 TSCC Fixed Control Channel Hunt The TSCC Fixed Control Channel Hunt relies on radio systems with fix sets of control channel radio frequencies. This hunt algorithm has three user-selectable subtypes that are selectable from the TSCC Hunt menu. They are: Short Hunt, Comprehensive Hunt, and Team Hunt. Short Hunt — When using Short Hunt, the radio first hunts for the last 10 control channels upon which the radio has successfully registered on. If that hunt fails to result in a successful registration, the radio then hunts for control channels based on a control channel fixed-list pre-programmed by the radio dealer. This cycle repeats until the radio successfully registers with a base station via the station’s control channel. Successful registration causes the radio to add the utilized control channel to its list of last 10 control channels upon which it has successfully registered on, if the channel is not already on the list. Comprehensive Hunt — In this hunt mode, like with a Short Hunt, the radio first hunts for the last 10 control channels upon which the radio has successfully registered on. If that hunt fails to result in a successful registration, the radio then begins hunting all control channels within a radio frequency band pre-programmed by the radio dealer. After 100 channels within this pre-programmed list are hunted without a successful registration, the last 10 channels upon which the radio successfully registered on are hunted again. This process repeats until the radio successfully registers via a base station control channel. Successful registration causes the radio to add the utilized control channel to its list of last 10 control channels upon which it has successfully registered on, if the channel is not already on the list. Team Hunt (1 and 2) — In this hunt mode, like with a Short Hunt, the radio first hunts for the last 10 control channels upon which the radio has successfully registered on. If that hunt fails to result in a successful registration, the radio then begins a team hunt based upon a fixed control channel list pre-programmed by the radio dealer. This process repeats until the radio makes a successful registration. Successful registration causes the radio to add the utilized control channel to its list of last 10 control channels upon which it has successfully registered on, if the channel is not already on the list. Two Team Hunts can be programmed into the radio.
MENU NAVIGATION AND OPERATIONS 42 TSCC Flexible Control Channel Hunt The TSCC Flexible Control Channel Hunt is advantageous to use in an area where base station frequency plans are not well coordinated. Its hunt algorithm is similar to that of the Short Hunt. Hunt for Smooth Communications (after Registration) After registration, the radio also supports 3 different hunt algorithms to help maintain radio communications to the highest degree possible, and/or per necessary system requirements. These algorithms are selectable from the Hunt menu. They are described in the following subsections: Background Hunt When Background Hunt is enabled, the radio periodically measures the signal strength received from the base station with which it is currently registered with. Measurements occur when the radio is idle (i.e., no call is being received or transmitted). If a measured signal strength is below a pre-programmed threshold level, the radio will then automatically begin hunting for a base station with a stronger signal. If one is found, the radio then registers with that (stronger) base station, if the radio is allowed to. Using this feature, the radio can be registered with and use the base station with the strongest signal which it is allowed to operate on, thus ensuring the best-possible radio communications. To enable or disable Background Hunt, from the main menu, select Hunt > Background Hunt > Enable or Disable. Alternately, if the Background Hunt shortcut key is programmed to a radio key, press this key to toggle between enabled and disabled. Also, if the Hunt Mode shortcut key is programmed, this key can be used to quickly access the Hunt menu. Home Station Hunt When Home Station Hunt is enabled, the radio periodically hunts for its assigned home base station and if it is found, the radio registers with it. This feature can help balance-out base station loading in areas covered by multiple base stations, thus maximizing radio communication efficiency by reducing call processing time, and minimizing call queuing and queue times.
MENU NAVIGATION AND OPERATIONS Publication 14222-1160-2000 43 To enable or disable Home Station Hunt, from the main menu, select Hunt > Home Station Hunt > Enable or Disable. Alternately, if the Home Station Hunt shortcut key is programmed to a radio key, press this key to toggle between enabled and disabled. Also, if the Hunt Mode shortcut key is programmed, this key can be used to quickly access the Hunt menu. Handover Hunt When Handover Hunt is enabled, the radio can utilize more than one base station to provide the best-possible radio communications. This hunt algorithm is beneficial in weak signal areas (i.e., areas where the radio cannot receive a medium or a strong radio signal from any base station upon which is allowed to operate on.) To enable or disable Handover Hunt, from the main menu, select Hunt > Handover Hunt > Enable or Disable. Alternately, if the Handover Hunt shortcut key is programmed to a radio key, press this key to toggle between enabled and disabled. Also, if the Hunt Mode shortcut key is programmed, this key can be used to quickly access the Hunt menu. SUBGROUP MENU The radio can be programmed with up to 32 subgroups, and each subgroup can have up to 16 groups. After the radio successfully registers on a trunked system, select a subgroup and then a group. See page 17 for additional information. This menu also allows setting of the default subgroup via the Set Default selection.

Press the key or the key, or hold down the PTT key to make the emergency call. 3. If necessary, continue with voice communications. See the VOICE COMMUNICATIONS ON AN EMERGENCY CALL section that follows for additional information.
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS Publication 14222-1160-2000 49 RECEIVING AN EMERGENCY CALL When the radio receives an emergency call, it is automatically heard in the radio’s speaker (or attached speaker/mic). No operator action is required. VOICE COMMUNICATIONS ON AN EMERGENCY CALL After an emergency call is established, a radio user can transmit voice audio on the emergency call by speaking into the microphone when “PTT Enable” is displayed. The icon displays when the radio is transmitting on the emergency call and the icon displays when the radio is receiving on the call. ENDING AN EMERGENCY CALL An emergency call can be ended when one of the following occurs: • The emergency call’s duration exceeds that which is preset by the radio system’s network administration personnel; • The radio signal from the trunked system’s base station is lost/missing; • If the emergency call is on a group, a user at a called radio ends the call or exits the emergency mode; or, • If the emergency call is a private call, a user at either of the two radios ends the call or exits the emergency mode. To exit an emergency at a calling radio (i.e, the radio that initiated the emergency call), press the programmed Emergency Off shortcut key. To exit an emergency at a called radio, press the Back key and then within one (1) second, press the TK key. NOTE
EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS 50 MAN DOWN The Man Down feature can be used to automatically initiate an emergency when the radio is positioned aslant for a programmed period of time, or if it remains motionless for a programmed period of time. The radio can be programmed to automatically enable the Man Down feature upon turn on. If a man-down-capable-radio is not programmed as such, the feature must be manually enabled before it will function. Manually Enabling and Disabling Man Down There are two (2) possible ways to manually enable and disable the Man Down feature. One or both methods may be available per programming performed by your radio dealer: • From the menu select: Menu > Settings > Radio Set > Man Down > Enable or Disable. • If the Man Down shortcut key is programmed to a key, press this key to enable or disable the Man Down feature. When this feature is enabled (i.e., turned on), the radio briefly displays “Man Down On!” and sounds a high-pitch tone. When this feature is disabled (i.e., turned off), the radio briefly displays “Man Down Off!” and sounds a low-pitched tone. Using Man Down 1. Enable the Man Down feature if it is not already. Refer to the previous section as necessary. The current enable/disable status can be viewed from the Man Down menu. 2. After the radio is positioned aslant for the preset period of time or after it remains motionless for a preset period of time (depending upon radio programming), it sounds an alert tone. 3. To cancel the emergency call, quickly return the radio to a vertical/upright position, or move it if it was motionless. If the radio is not soon returned to a near vertical/upright position or moved if it was motionless, the radio then enters the emergency mode and automatically begins transmitting an emergency call, as programmed.
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES Publication 14222-1160-2000 51 MANUAL DIAL This feature allows you to make a call by manually entering a number via the radio’s numeric keypad. Supported call types include private calls (includes telephone interconnect calls) and group calls. Operation In the home screen, input the desired contact ID number for calling, and then to transmit, press the key or the key, or press and hold the PTT key. CPS-P Dialing Number Format A contact ID number is composed of 8 digits: NP (3 digits) + FN (2 digits) + UN/GN (3 digits): • NP (Prefix Number) Range: 328 – 899. • FN (Fleet Number) Range: 20 - 65 for private call; 20 - 99 for group call. • UN (Unit Number for a private call) Range: 200 – 899. • GN (Group Number for a group call) Range: 900 – 999. Dialing Rules • In-Fleet Call — Dial the UN/GN (3 digits) only. • Inter-Fleet Call — Dial the FN (2 digits) and the UN/GN (3 digits). • Inter-Prefix Call — Dial the NP (3 digits), the FN (2 digits) and the UN/GN (3 digits). CPS-P3 Dialing Number Format A contact ID number is composed of 8 digits: NP (3 digits) + FN (2 digits) + UN/GN (3 digits): • NP (Prefix Number) Range: 328 – 899.
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES 52 • FN (Fleet Number) Range: 20 - 89 for both private call and fleet group call; 90, 97, 98, 99 for hierarchical group call. • UN (Unit Number for a private call) Range: If FN = 20 - 41, UN Range = 200 – 899. If FN = 42 to 89, UN Range = 200 – 549. • GN (Group Number for a group call) Range: 900 – 999 for fleet group call; 000 – 999 for hierarchical group call. Dialing Rules • In-Fleet Call — Dial the UN/GN (3 digits) only. • Inter-Fleet Call — Dial the FN (2 digits) and the UN/GN (3 digits). • Inter-Prefix Call — Dial the NP (3 digits), the FN (2 digits) and the UN/GN (3 digits). 1343-E Dialing This feature allows customization of dialing rules. The radio can be pre-programmed by your radio dealer to customize the dialing rules according to actual needs. Note that each radio user must follow the same scheme in the same trunking system and each contact ID number is unique. Please consult with your radio dealer for details regarding this dialing rule, if it is implemented. CALL QUEUING During busy communications periods, all available radio channels can become active/busy at the same time. In a case such as this, calls without pre-emptive or emergency priority will queue according to their priorities, and wait for the system to assign them to an available radio channel. If a call is queued, the calling radio displays “Queue Call.”
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES Publication 14222-1160-2000 53 TIME-OUT TIMER (TOT) The Time-Out-Timer (TOT) prevents a radio user from transmitting on a group/channel for an extended period. If the preset time expires, the radio automatically terminates the transmission and begins beeping. To stop the beeping, release the PTT key. You must wait for a certain time period (preset by your dealer) to start another transmission. MICROPHONE AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC) If the mic AGC feature is enabled, the radio will automatically control the level of the audio from the microphone before the audio is applied to the radio’s transmitter circuit. This feature can improve radio transmission and thus reception at the receiving radio unit(s). With radio programming, this feature can be enabled on digital channels, analog channels, or both digital and analog channels. VOICE-OPERATED SWITCH (VOX) When on, the VOX feature automatically transmit-keys the radio when a sufficient level of audio is detected at the radio’s microphone. This allows “hands free PTTing” of the radio. In other words, with this feature on, the radio’s PTT key does not need to be pressed to make a voice transmission. Turning VOX On and Off The icon appears in the display when the VOX feature is on. Use one of these methods to turn this feature on and off: • From the home screen, press the Menu key then select Settings > Radio Set > VOX > On or Off. • If the VOX shortcut key is programmed to a radio key, press this key to toggle VOX on and off. • If currently on, press the PTT key to quickly turn the VOX feature off. V
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES 54 Setting VOX Sensitivity Level The VOX sensitivity level can be adjusted for both the internal and an external microphone. Follow this procedure to adjust a level: 1. From the home screen, press the Menu key then select Settings > Radio Set > VOX > Gain Level. 2. To adjust the sensitivity level for the radio’s internal microphone, select Internal. To adjust the sensitivity level for an external microphone (i.e., a mic or speaker-mic type device connected to the accessory jack), select External. 3. Select a new level, Level 1 through Level 9. Upon doing so, “Set Success!” displays. Higher gain levels are less sensitive. Noisy environments may require selection of a higher level. Always use great care when adjusting the VOX sensitivity levels, and when using the VOX feature. Improper sensitivity adjustment can cause the radio to transmit at improper times. When the radio is transmitting, the LED indicator on the top of the radio glows red. LOUDNESS AND QUALITY OPTIMIZER (LQO) When turned on, the LQO feature allows the radio to automatically adjust receive audio volume and quality for various environments. Adjustments are performed when the radio is squelched/muted. This feature can help clarify received voice signals for certain environments. The icon appears in the display when the LQO feature is on. Use one of these methods to turn this feature on and off: • From the home screen, press the Menu key then select Settings > Radio Set > LQO > On or Off. • If the LQO shortcut key is programmed to a radio key, press this key to toggle LQO on and off. Upon toggling this feature on or off, “Set Success!” displays. CAUTIONQ
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES Publication 14222-1160-2000 55 RENT Radio operating time may be set-up on a rental basis with the radio dealer. If so, when the rental time expires, the radio can no longer be used. To check the radio’s remaining rental time, from the home screen, press the Menu key then select Settings > Radio Set > Rent > Rent Query. If the radio is pre-programmed with the Rent Pre-Alert feature enabled, it will periodically sound a tone to remind the radio operator that rental time is nearing expiration. PRIORITY This feature indicates the priority of the normal voice services. When there is no free service channel in the system, the system responds to the higher-priority voice service first. The normal voice services include private calls, general group calls, broadcast group calls, and PSTN and PABX telephone interconnect calls. Emergency calls are not handled as normal voice services. Use the Priority menu to set the priority of the radio’s normal voice services. From the home screen, press the Menu key then select Settings > Radio Set > Priority. • Priority follows this principle: Low < Medium < High. When the service channels are all occupied, calls will queue according to their priorities for the system’s distribution of channels. When the queue is full, the higher-priority calls can jump the queue and the lower-priority calls will be extruded out accordingly (i.e., the system will prompt that it is busy). In addition, the emergency calls or preemption calls can forcibly disconnect on-going lower-priority calls to release the channels for themselves. • Preemption: This is the highest priority. When the system is busy, such calls do not need to queue. They can disconnect other on-going calls with lower priority to release the channels for themselves. Preemption is not available in the radio unless the radio dealer has enabled it.
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES 56 COVERT MODE If the radio is programmed with the Covert Mode, this mode can be used to help conceal radio operations. When enabled, radio indications such as the LED indicator on the top of the radio and vibrations are turned off. To enable and disable Covert Mode, press the programmed Covert Mode shortcut key. This is a toggle-type function. Alternately, use menu path Settings > Radio Set > Covert Mode > Enable or Disable. ENCRYPTION The radio’s Encrypt feature for digital channels can be used to prevent “eavesdropping” upon a digital radio channel. This feature ensures the best guarantee of radio communication privacy, since communications are performed via digitally-encrypted signals. Each radio must have this feature enabled before it can receive and transmit encrypted calls. The menu path to enable and disable encryption is: Menu > Settings > Radio Set > Encrypt > Enable or Disable. If a radio key is programmed with the Encrypt shortcut function, press it to toggle encryption between the enabled (on) and disabled (off) states. AUTHENTICATION The Authentication feature validates radio user accounts on the trunked radio network. When this feature is enabled, both radio and the base station that the radio is attempting to connect to must validate each other before the radio can register with the station. As of the publication of this manual, if authentication it is enabled, it is only performed at registration. Registration can only occur after both the radio and the base station pass the authentication process. The menu path to enable and disable authentication is: Menu > Settings > Radio Set > Authentication > Enable or Disable.
MISCELLANEOUS FEATURES Publication 14222-1160-2000 57 ONE TOUCH CALL The radio can be programmed by your radio dealer with the One Touch Call feature. This feature is used for calling a programmed contact or for quickly sending a programmed message. The contact, call type, and message content are all programmed by the radio dealer. Up to five (5) different One Touch Calls can be programmed. Any programmable radio key, including the numeric keys of the radio’s keypad, can be programmed as a One Touch Call shortcut key.
