This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 1.2.3.2  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. 1.3  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.  1.3.1  Efficient Radio Operation Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.  Do  not  hold  the  antenna  when  receiving  a  message  and,  especially,  do  not  hold  when  transmitting  a message.   Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on! 1.3.2  Antenna Care and Replacement   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.   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.) WARNINGWARNINGWARNING
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 17 1.3.3  Electronic Devices   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! 1.3.4  Aircraft    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!! 1.3.5  Electric Blasting Caps    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) 1.3.6  Potentially Explosive Atmospheres   Areas  with  potentially  explosive  atmospheres  are  often,  but  not  always,  clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. 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. CAUTIONWARNINGWARNINGWARNING

  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 19 2.2.1  Directives sur l’exposition aux RF AVERTISSEMENT Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les limites acceptables de la FCC pour l’utilisation professionnelle, respectez toujours les directives suivantes :  N’utilisez PAS la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit connectée, car ceci peut endommager la radio et également causer un dépassement des limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Une antenne appropriée est celle fournie par Harris avec cette radio, ou une antenne spécifiquement autorisée par Harris pour être utilisée avec cette radio. (Reportez-vous à Table 6-1.)  Ne  transmettez  PAS  pendant  plus  de  50 % de  la  durée  d’utilisation  totale  de  la  radio  (« cycle  de service de 50 % »). La transmission pendant plus de 50 % du temps peut causer un dépassement des exigences  de  conformité  de  la  FCC  en  matière  d’exposition  aux  RF.  La  radio  transmet  lorsque l’indicateur « TX » apparaît sur l’affichage. La radio transmet lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton « PTT » (bouton de microphone).  Transmettez TOUJOURS en basse puissance lorsque possible. En plus de préserver la charge de la pile, une faible puissance réduit l’exposition aux RF.  Utilisez  TOUJOURS  des  accessoires  autorisés  Harris  (antennes,  piles,  pinces  de  ceinture,  haut-parleurs/micros,  etc.).  L’utilisation  d’accessoires  non  autorisés  peut  entraîner  un  dépassement  des exigences  de  conformité  pour  une  exposition  aux  RF  professionnelle  ou  contrôlée  de  la  FCC. (Reportez-vous à Table 1-1.)  Tel qu’indiqué dans Table 1-1, conservez TOUJOURS l’appareil et son antenne à AU MOINS 1,6 cm (0,63 po) du corps, et à au moins 2,5 cm (1,0 po) du visage pendant la transmission, pour vous assurer de  ne  pas  dépasser  les  exigences  de  conformité  de  la  FCC  en  matière  d’exposition  aux  RF. Cependant,  pour  offrir  la  meilleure  qualité  sonore  aux  auditeurs  de  votre  transmission,  Harris recommande de tenir le microphone à au moins 5 cm (2 po) de votre bouche et légèrement déplacé sur un côté.

Le fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1)  cet appareil ne doit pas  causer d’interférence et  (2) cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence, y compris une interférence qui peut causer un fonctionnement non souhaité de l’appareil. 2.4  CONSEILS D’UTILISATION L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une radio portative. L’utilisation de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un véhicule  ou  dans  un  immeuble  à  ossature  métallique,  peut  réduire  la  portée  de  l’appareil  de  manière considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité.  Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être obtenues  en  s’assurant  que  l’antenne  est  verticale.  Se  déplacer  de  quelques  mètres  dans  une  autre direction ou  à  un emplacement  plus  élevé peut  également améliorer  les  communications.  L’utilisation d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule.  L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez toujours correctement la pile.  2.4.1  Utilisation Efficace de la Radio Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la transmission d’un message.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 21 MISE EN GARDE Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée! 2.4.1.1  Entretien Et Remplacement De L’antenne  MISE EN GARDE N’utilisez  pas  la  radio  portative  si  son  antenne  est  endommagée  ou  absente.  Une brûlure légère peut se produire au contact d’une antenne endommagée avec la peau. Remplacez  immédiatement  une  antenne  endommagée.  L’utilisation  d’une  radio portative alors que l’antenne est absente peut causer des blessures, endommager la radio et pourrait enfreindre la réglementation de la FCC.  AVERTISSEMENT Utilisez  seulement  l’antenne  fournie  ou  une  antenne  approuvée.  Des  antennes  non autorisées, des modifications ou des ajouts à une antenne peuvent endommager la radio et enfreindre la réglementation de la FCC. (Reportez-vous à Table 6-1.) 2.4.1.2  Appareils Électroniques  AVERTISSEMENT L’énergie  des  RF  provenant  de  radios  portatives  peut  affecter  certains  appareils électroniques.  La  majorité  de  l’équipement  électronique  moderne  dans les  voitures,  les hôpitaux, les maisons, etc. est blindé contre l’énergie des RF. Cependant, dans les zones où l’on vous demande de fermer l’équipement de radio bidirectionnelle, respectez toujours les règles. En cas de doute, éteignez-le! 2.4.1.3  Avion  MISE EN GARDE  Éteignez toujours une radio portative avant d’embarquer à bord d’un avion!  Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’avec la permission de l’équipage.  NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol! 2.4.1.4  Détonateurs Électriques   MISE EN GARDE Pour prévenir la détonation accidentelle des détonateurs électriques, n’utilisez PAS de radios bidirectionnelles à moins de 305 m (1 000 pi) des opérations de détonation. Respectez toujours les indications « Éteindre les radios bidirectionnelles » situées là où des détonateurs électriques sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900)
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   22 2.4.1.5  Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive  MISE EN GARDE Les  zones  ayant  une  atmosphère potentiellement explosive  sont  souvent, mais  pas toujours, identifiées clairement comme telles. Il peut s’agir de zones d’alimentation en  carburant,  comme  les  postes  d’essence,  les  installations  de  stockage  ou  de transfert  de  carburant  ou  de  produits  chimiques,  ainsi  que  les  zones  dont  l’air contient des produits chimiques ou des particules, comme des grains, de la poussière ou des poudres métalliques. Des étincelles dans de telles zones peuvent provoquer une explosion ou un incendie, causant ainsi des blessures ou même la mort. Éteignez  les  radios  bidirectionnelles  dans  toute  zone  ayant  une  atmosphère potentiellement  explosive.  Il  est  rare,  mais  pas  impossible  qu’une  radio  ou  ses accessoires produisent des étincelles.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 23 3  CLEANING Keep the exterior of the radio, battery, antenna, and radio accessories clean.   Periodically clean using the following procedures: 1.

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. 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 Chemtronics® Electro-Wash® PR (ES-1603) or equivalent. 1. Apply the cleaning solution to a clean damp cloth and clean the radio.  Do not spray cleaning solution directly on radio.  To clean the radio in the speaker and microphone  areas,  carefully  wipe  these  areas but  prevent the  cleaning solution  from entering the speaker or microphone openings. 2. Wipe off the radio with clean damp cloth using mild warm soapy water. 3. Follow up by wiping off the radio with clean damp cloth using warm water only. 4. Wipe dry with clean cloth. NOTE
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   24 4  BATTERIES The XG-75P series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium-Ion  (Li-Ion),  or  Lithium  Polymer  (Li-Poly)  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.   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.  Failure  to  properly  condition  NiMH  battery  packs  before  initial  use  will  result  in shortened performance by the battery. 4.1.2  Conditioning Li-Ion or Li-Poly packs Lithium battery packs do not suffer from memory effect and do not require conditioning.   4.2  STORING LI-ION BATTERY PACKS If a battery pack is expected to be idle for a month or more, it should be properly prepared.  Li-Ion battery packs should not be stored fully charged.  Before storing the battery pack, discharge it to 40% capacity.  If the battery is not discharged prior to storage, its overall capacity may be reduced.  Although all battery packs experience some capacity loss  during storage, the  shelf  life  for  Li-Ion  battery  packs  is about  3 months.  However, note that any capacity drop which occurs during storage is permanent and cannot be reversed. Li-Ion battery packs should be purchased and used immediately.  They should not be stock-piled without a rotating stock plan.  WARNINGCAUTION
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 25 4.3  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. 4.4  BATTERY PACK USAGE NiMH, Lithium-ion, and Lithium Polymer batteries vary in capacity and life cycle. NiMH, Lithium-Ion, and Lithium Polymer batteries require that basic usage guidelines be followed in order to optimize the battery runtime or shift life. The following guidelines will help optimize the battery runtime or shift life:  Ensure  Nickel-based  battery  packs  are  fully  discharged  (as  indicated  by  the  radio  low  battery warning) before re-charging.  Full discharge is not required for Lithium battery packs.  Periodically condition Nickel-based  battery packs.    The frequency should be  determined based on usage patterns (refer to ECR-7367). If the battery is fully discharged (to radio Low Battery warning) during routine use, the frequency of conditioning may be reduced.  Lithium-ion 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.  4.5  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio battery packs or establishing a battery maintenance  program,  refer  to  ECR-7367  which  may  be  ordered  by  calling  toll  free  1-800-368-3277 (international - 1-434-455-6403) or via https://premier.pspc.harris.com/infocenter/.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   26 4.6  CHANGING THE BATTERY PACK 4.6.1  Removing the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned off.

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   28 5  INTRODUCTION The XG-75P 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-75P portable radio delivers  end-to-end  encrypted  digital  voice  and  IP  data  communications.    It  is  designed  to  support multiple operating modes including:  EDACS® (Enhanced Digital Access Communications System) or ProVoice™ Trunked Modes  P25 Trunked Mode  P25 Digital Conventional Mode  OpenSky® Trunked Protocol (700/800 MHz radio only)  Conventional Analog Mode The XG-75P portables can include all of these modes or just one. Additional modes of operation can be added with software updates. The  XG-75P  supports  a  full  range  of  advanced  digital  trunking  features,  including  talk  group  calls, priority scanning, emergency calls, late call entry, and dynamic reconfiguration. It performs autonomous roaming  for  wide  area  applications.  High  quality  voice  coding  and  robust  audio  components  assure speech clarity. In the trunked modes, the user selects a communications “operating” system (i.e., EDACS, ProVoice, or P25) and group. While communicating in a trunked mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system controller (e.g., a CSD in an EDACS system). This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels. In Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel.  A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair. The exact  operation of the  radio will  depend on the operating mode, the radio’s  programming,  and the particular radio  system. Most features  described  in  this  manual can  be  enabled through programming. Consult your System Administrator for the particular features programmed into your XG-75P.  Then refer to the corresponding section(s) within this manual for feature and operation information. The  XG-75P series portable radios  operate  reliably even  under  adverse conditions. These  radios  meet MIL-STD-810G specifications for wind driven rain, humidity, and salt fog.

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   36 8.2  TRI-COLOR LED   Figure 8-6: Tri-Color LED The Tri-Color LED changes color to indicate radio status and is visible from both the front and top of the radio (see Figure 8-6).   In OpenSky mode the following radio states are reflected by the LED and the status they represent are:  Green:    Receiving Red:    Transmitting Orange:  If the LED is flashing rapidly, the radio is receiving an emergency call.  If the LED is flashing every ½ second, the selected talk group is in the emergency state (although not transmitting).  If the selected talk group is in the emergency state, an asterisk will be displayed next to the talk group name. 8.3  LOG IN TO THE NETWORK Login occurs either automatically (auto registration) if the radio has a valid registration or, if enabled, requires the user to enter a User ID and password.  The user will be prompted with “Pls Login” if one talk group in the selected profile can be encrypted. The user has to login to use that talk group in encrypted mode.  1. Press *1 keys (Login command). 2. Enter the full 10-digit User ID. 3. Press the   key. 4. Enter the password.  5. Press the   key. The  User  ID  may  be  remembered  from  the  previous  log-in.  (Refer  to  Section  8.4  for  further  details regarding log-off commands.) The password will be established before the radio is put into operation. Contact the local OpenSky network administrator for more information.  If necessary, contact radio system administration personnel for log-in assistance and/or radio-specific log-in instructions. NOTENOTE
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 37 8.4  LOG OFF THE NETWORK The *0## command  de-registers the  radio.  Typically,  this is automatically performed when powering down the radio.  Using this method, the User ID is remembered by the radio, so only the password is needed at next log-in. If a user is logged in, it is necessary to log-off. 8.5  PERSONALITY As illustrated in Figure 8-7, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to the user.  It is the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator to provide the user with a comprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary talk groups or individuals. Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio.  This process is called “provisioning.”    Provisioning  occurs  at  radio  power-up  (if  the  personality is not already stored in  the radio’s memory) and at user log-in (if the radio has been deregistered).  When changes are made to the personality, the radio is automatically re-provisioned. Each personality can contain up to 16 profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups. 8.5.1  Profiles As  stated  above,  each  profile  can  contain  up  to  16  talk  groups.    A  profile  also  defines  the  radio’s emergency behavior. All transmissions are made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of the dwell display).  The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk groups within the profile.  Figure 8-7: Personality Structure Example 8.5.2  Talk Groups A talk group represents a set of users that regularly need to communicate with one another.  There can be any number of authorized users assigned to a talk group. Talk groups are established and organized by the OpenSky network administrator.  An OpenSky talk group is similar to a channel within a conventional FM radio system.

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   38 8.6  OPENSKY DISPLAY OVERVIEW The 12-character x 3-line display shows the radio status.  The first two lines of the display are text lines that change in response to user interaction with the menu buttons.  Status icons appear in the bottom line (line 3) of the display (see Table 8-3).  8.6.1  Display’s Top Line The  display’s  top  line  of  text  changes  as  the    and    buttons  are  pressed  to  scroll  through  the available menu options (see Table 8-5).  When the dwell display is present, the selected talk group will be displayed.  Other information, such as alert messages will scroll across the top line of the display. 8.6.2  Display’s Second Line The second line will display information such as active menu, login prompt, emergency status, and dwell display messages as described in the following section.  8.6.3  Dwell Display When not engaged in menu selection, the first two lines of the display default to the user-defined display, known as the “dwell display.”  The top line indicates the currently selected talk group.  The second line will display the currently selected profile, caller ID/alias2, received talk group, and current channel name if the channel menu is enabled.  Press the   button repeatedly to scroll through and view one of these second line options.  8.7  ALERT TONES The  XG-75P  radio  also  provides  audible  Alert  Tones  or  “beeps”  to  indicate  the  various  operating conditions (see Table 8-4). Table 8-4: Alert Tones NAME TONE DESCRIPTION Call Queued One low tone/two high tones Call is queued for processing. Call Denied Three short beeps Radio is out of coverage area or requested talk group is active. Grant (or Go-Ahead) Single short beep Sounded when resources become available for a call request placed in the queue (if enabled) upon channel access.  If the radio roams to another site while transmitting, then it will auto rekey and begin transmitting on that tower.  It gives a second grant tone to let the user know they have roamed. Call Removed Single long low-pitched tone Notifies the user access to the channel has been lost (out of coverage area or pre-empted by higher-priority call).

  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 45 8.11  QUICK KEYS (SYSTEM MODEL ONLY) Quick Keys are a two-button sequence that provides the user with quick access to certain menu items.  Quick Keys function as a toggle for these menu items. Table 8-7: Quick Key Sequence QUICK KEYS FUNCTION 1# Transition to ECP Mode If ECP code is not loaded in the radio, “No App” appears in the display. 2# Toggles Stealth Mode On/Off 3# Toggles Scan Mode On/Off (Normal/Fixed, see details below)   If the Scan Mode is Normal when the Scan Mode is toggled Off, the Scan Mode will be Normal when toggled On again.   If the Scan Mode is Fixed when the Scan Mode is toggled Off, the Scan Mode will be Fixed when scan mode is toggled On again.   If the Scan Mode is Off when the radio boots up, the Scan Mode will be Normal when Scan Mode is toggled On. 4# Lights/Tones On/Off Pressing 4# turns the TX/RX LEDs, Backlight, and Side Tones On/Off. If any of the TX/RX LEDs, Backlight, and/or Side Tones are On, and this quick key sequence is used, then all of the TX/RX LEDs, Backlight, and Side Tones are turned Off. If  the  radio  is  in  Stealth  mode,  this  quick  key  is  disabled  since  the  user  is  not  able  to  turn  on  the light/tones in stealth mode. 5# This quick key sequence is used to set the current active profile to the default profile in the personality as defined in the UAS. 6# XCOV & XCOV-TG Attach/Detach This  quick  key  sequence  is  used  to manually connect  to a  V-TAC.    When  attaching to a  V-TAC,  the radio’s programming determines whether to attach to the V-TAC in XCOV or XCOV-TG mode.   If the user attaches to a V-TAC manually, using the *61# or *62# command sequence, the radio is understood to be attached and this quick key sequence will detach the radio from the V-TAC.   If the user detaches manually from a V-TAC using the *60# command sequence, the radio is understood to be detached and this quick key sequence will attach the radio to a V-TAC.   At bootup, the radio is understood to be detached from a V-TAC.  If a radio automatically attaches to a V-TAC, the radio is still understood to be detached from a V-TAC and will attempt to attach to a V-TAC.   If a radio manually attaches to a V-TAC and then is automatically detached from a V-TAC, the radio will attempt to attach to another V-TAC. 7# This quick key sequence is used to transmit the RTT Automatic Normal Message to the console. 8# This quick key sequence is used to transmit the RTT Automatic Priority Message to the console.  8.12  DTMF OVERDIAL Using  the  keypad  on  a  System  Model,  the  radio  can  transmit  DTMF  tones  corresponding  to numbers/characters 0 - 9, *, and # on the keypad. To overdial numbers/characters, transmit by pressing and holding the PTT button and then, press the corresponding keys (one at a time) on the keypad. 8.13  LOCK/UNLOCK THE KEYPAD 1. Press and hold the   button. 2. While holding the   button, press the   button on the side of the radio.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   46 8.14  DUAL-TONE MULTI-FREQUENCY (SYSTEM MODEL ONLY) Dual-Tone  Multi-Frequency  (DTMF)  is  the  system  used  by  touch-tone  telephones.    DTMF  assigns  a specific tone frequency to each key so a microprocessor can easily identify its activation.  This allows for specific tasks such as entering a user ID and password, or selective calling. When a key on the DTMF keypad is pressed, the DTMF tone is played through the radio’s speaker. 8.15  CHANGING THE ACTIVE PROFILE The radio can store up to 16 standard profiles, one of which is the currently active profile.  To change the currently active profile: 1. Press the   or  buttons until “ProfileMenu” is displayed. 2. Use   or    to scroll through the list of available profiles. 3. Profile becomes active when selected for longer than 2 seconds, when the   is pressed, or when the menu is changed using the   or  button. Press   to activate the selected profile. 8.16  CHANGING THE SELECTED TALK GROUP Each profile stored in the radio can have up to 16 talk groups.  One talk group within the currently active profile is set as the “selected talk group.”  To change the selected talk group, turn the Group Selection knob on top of the radio or use the Talk Group selection menu. 8.17  ADJUSTING DISPLAY AND BUTTON BACKLIGHT BRIGHTNESS 1. Press the   or  buttons until Bright Menu is displayed. 2. Use   or   to brighten or dim the display and button backlighting. 8.18  STEALTH MODE  For some users, it is important to be able to turn off the radio’s display lights and side tones, but not the radio  traffic.    For  example,  in  covert  operations,  lights  and  sounds  could  inadvertently  expose  an otherwise unobservable radio user.  For this purpose, the radio has a Stealth feature that disables the radio display lights, indicator lights, audible alert, and side tones.  When Stealth Mode is on, the radio continues to scan the programmed list of talk groups and the user can key-up on the selected talk group. 8.18.1  Enabling Stealth Mode System Model only: Quick Key combination 2# toggles Stealth Mode on and off. Both models:  Press the   or   buttons to scroll through menus until “StealthMenu” appears in the display.  To immediately activate Stealth Mode press the   or   button once.  This activates Stealth Mode, exits the Stealth Menu, and returns to the Dwell Display. The display lights, indicator lights, and side tones are disabled.  The stealth mode icon is displayed. 8.18.2  Disabling Stealth Mode System  Model  only:  To  re-enable  all  lighting,  side  tones  and  exit  Stealth  Mode,  press  Quick  Key combination 2# again.  The radio returns to the Dwell Display.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 47  Stealth Mode can also be disabled by using the Stealth Menu. Scan Model only: To re-enable all lighting, side tones, and exit Stealth Mode, press any key other than PTT or Emergency.  The radio returns to the Dwell Display. The display lights, indicator lights, and side tones are re-enabled.  The stealth mode icon disappears. 8.19  ADJUSTING SIDE TONE AUDIO LEVEL The radio sounds confirming tones called “side tones” when its buttons are pressed. Most users find this audible confirmation helpful when navigating the menus. Side tone audio level can be adjusted or turned completely off using the “Side Menu” or the Quick Key combination #4.   Quick Key combination 4# turns off the backlight in addition to the side tones.  Unlike Stealth Mode, alert tones can still be heard. For covert operations, it may be necessary to turn off side tones.  For safety’s sake, turning off the radio during covert operations is not recommended. If the radio is operating properly but side tones are not heard when the menu buttons are pressed, the side tones are probably turned off.  To turn them back on, access the “Side Tone” menu and select a setting other than “off.” Use the following procedure set side tone level: 1. Press the   or  buttons to cycle through the menu until “Side Menu” is displayed. 2. Press   or   to change to the desired level (Off, Low, Medium, and High).  To turn side tones off completely, use the “Off” setting. 8.20  CHANGE OPERATING MODE 8.20.1  From OTP to ECP Mode Method 1 (Quick Key, System Model only): Press 1#. If ECP is not loaded in the radio, the radio displays “No App.” Method 2: 1. Press the   or  buttons to cycle through the menu until “App Mode” is displayed. 2. Press   or   to select the desired operation mode. 3. Press   and use   or   to select Y or N.   4. Press   to make selection and return to the dwell display. 5. “Restart Please Wait” appears in the display as the radio switches modes. Method 3: If configured, turn the A/B Switch to the A or B position. NOTENOTE
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   48 8.20.2  From ECP to OTP Mode Press  the    or   buttons  to  cycle  through  available  systems  until  “OPEN  SKY”  appears  in  the display.  Pause briefly and the radio will switch automatically from ECP to OTP operation. 8.21  RECEIVING AND TRANSMITTING VOICE CALLS As soon as the radio completes the initialization sequence and registers on the OpenSky network, the user will begin to hear calls from the talk groups in the active profile, if available.  8.21.1  Receiving a Voice Call No action is required to receive a voice call. The display responds to incoming voice calls as follows:  When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the scan mode is Normal or Fixed: a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk group, then the alias (if available) or user ID of the incoming caller is displayed.  b. If the received talk group does not match the selected talk group, then the received talk group name is displayed.  When the  dwell  display is  set to  received  talk  group  and  the  Scan  Mode  is  None, the  radio  only receives voice on its selected talk group. When the call is received, the alias (if available) or the user ID of the incoming caller is displayed.  When the dwell display is not set to received talk group, then there is no display indication of an incoming call.   A radio receiving a System All Call, Regency All Call, or an Agency All Call displays “All Call” instead of the alias. A radio not transmitting on a talk group in emergency status will drop all other calls to scan into an All Call. 8.21.2  Transmitting a Voice Call 1. Select the desired talk group.  2. Depress and hold the PTT button, wait a couple of seconds.  If programmed by the administrator, a grant tone will be sounded. 3. Begin speaking into the microphone in a normal voice.  4. For maximum clarity, hold the radio approximately 2 inches from your mouth.  Take care not to cover up the microphone while speaking. 5. Release the PTT button to terminate an outgoing voice call. 8.22  ADJUSTING AUDIO TREBLE LEVEL The tone of received signals can be adjusted using the radio’s “Treble Menu.” 1. Press the   or  buttons to cycle through the menu until “Treble Menu” is displayed. 2. Press   or   to increase or decrease level.  There are four levels available: low, medium, medium-high, and high. 3. Press   or wait a few seconds to return to the dwell display. NOTE
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 49 8.23  TALK GROUP LOCK OUT There are two ways to focus voice communications by suppressing calls from talk groups in the active profile.   No Scan. By changing the Scanning Mode to “No Scan” only the selected talk group is scanned.  Lock Out. By locking out selected talk groups, background noise or chatter can be eliminated, and scanning resources can be focused on just those groups whose calls you wish to monitor.   Lock out is a listening (receive) function and only blocks received calls on locked out talk groups.  Lock out does not affect transmit capability.  “No Scan” and “Lock Out” do not apply to recent emergency lock outs. Only talk groups in the active profile can be locked out, since they are the only talk groups whose voice calls can be heard on the radio. Talk group lock out is a scan-related feature.  With lock out, one or more talk groups in the active profile can be temporarily disabled from being scanned.  Calls are not received on locked-out talk groups.  Lock out settings are not retained between profile changes.   P1, P2, and P3 groups CANNOT be locked out.   The  default  emergency and  emergency-capable  talk  groups  can  be  locked  out if  they are  NOT  in  an emergency state.  If a talk group is locked out and is subsequently changed to the currently selected talk group, it will automatically be unlocked by the radio so the user can hear calls on the talk group.  The radio may be configured so all talk groups are automatically locked out by default.  In this case, they must be manually unlocked, if desired. 8.23.1  Lock Out a Talk Group 1. Use the   or  buttons to scroll through the menu choices until “LockOutMenu” appears in the display. 2. Use the   or   keys to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the user group you want to lock out appears in the display.  3. Press the   key to select the lockable talk group. 4. “<” appears next to the locked out talk group. 8.23.2  Unlock a Talk Group 1. Use the   or  buttons to scroll through the menu choices until “LockOutMenu” appears in the display. 2. Use the   or   keys to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the user group you want to unlock appears in the display. 3. Use the   key to unlock the displayed talk group.    Changing the active profile removes any lockouts you have made.  Turning off the radio removes any lockouts you have made. NOTENOTENOTE
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   50 8.24  SCANNING 8.24.1  Selecting Scan Modes Three scanning modes are available for the radio, but only one can be active at any time.  Changing the scanning mode changes the way the radio scans voice calls for all of the profiles in the radio personality, no matter which profile is or becomes active. The choice of scanning mode broadens or narrows the span of communications with all the groups in profiles you listen to, but does not affect your interaction with those groups you talk with. The scanning modes available for selection may be limited to a subset of the three scanning modes by the administrator. Table 8-8: Scan Modes SCAN MODE EXPLANATION None Eliminates distractions.  Full communications (listen and talk) with the selected talk group. No calls received from other talk groups. Normal (Default) The user can scan all talk groups in the active profile that are not locked out as long as there is demand on the site. Priority (P1, P2, and P3) groups are user selectable. Receive calls from more than one talk group, if available from the current site. Allows dragging of the selected talk group, P1, P2, P3, and emergency talk group (in emergency state) to the site on which the radio is registered. (If other calls are available at the site, they also can be heard but they will not be actively dragged.) The default emergency talk group, as well as any emergency-enabled talk groups, is only dragged if it is in emergency mode. Fixed Functions the same as Normal Scan Mode, except the priority groups are fixed to the selected profile’s pre-defined P1 and P2 groups (configured via the UAS).  The scanning mode choice remains in effect until it is changed.  Even if the radio is turned off, the current scanning mode selection is saved for the next use. 8.24.2  Changing Active Scan Mode 8.24.2.1  Setting the Scan Mode 1. Press the   or  buttons until “ScnModeMenu” appears in the display. 2. Use the   or   keys to scroll through the list of modes until your choice appears: Normal, None, or Fixed. 3. Press the   key to activate the scan mode selection and return to the dwell display. 8.24.2.2  Duration of Scanning Mode Selections Scanning Mode selections survive power down. At startup, the radio defaults to the scanning mode of set during last use.  The last selection made remains in effect until a new selection is made from the Scan Mode menu. 8.24.3  Scanning Priority The following lists the scanning priority order (from highest to lowest):  Selected talk group in emergency state.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 51  Default emergency group in emergency state.  Selected talk group.  Emergency capable group in emergency state.  Priority 1 talk group.  Priority 2 talk group.  Priority 3 talk group.  Other (non-priority). 8.24.3.1  Changing Scan Priority 1. Press the   or  keys until “Priority1” or “Priority2” appears in the display (Priority1 group has higher priority than the Priority2 group). 2. Press the   or   button until the desired talk group is displayed. 3. Press the   key to select and activate the selection.  The radio automatically returns to the Dwell Display.   Changing the priority of a listen group does not change your talk group.  Priority can be set for six talk groups (Priority1, Priority2, and up to four Priority 3), but only in the selected profile.  If  the  save  settings  is  configured  for  the  radio,  scanning  priority  settings  are  saved when the radio is turned off. Otherwise, they are reset to the default values when the radio is turned off. 8.24.3.2  Changing Scan Priority 3 Talk Groups 1. Use  the    or  buttons  to  scroll  through  the  menu  choices  until  “Priority  3”  appears  in  the display. 2. Use the   or   keys to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the user group you want to set as Priority 3 appears in the display.  3. Press the   key to select a Priority 3 talk group. 4. “<” appears next to the Priority 3 talk group. 8.24.4  Scan Mode A/B Switch The A/B switch can be configured to toggle Scan Mode On/Off. If  the  Scan  mode  icon  (see  Table  8-3)  is  On;  either  the  Normal  or  Fixed  Scan  modes  are  enabled, depending on programming.  If the Scan mode icon is not displayed, Scan mode is set to No Scan. NOTE
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   52 8.24.5  Scan Mode Quick Key (System Model Only) Press 3# to toggle Scan mode on and off.  If  the  Scan  mode  icon  (see  Table  8-3)  is  On;  either  the  Normal  or  Fixed  Scan  modes  are  enabled, depending on programming.  If the Scan mode icon is not displayed, Scan mode is set to No Scan. 8.25  MAKING SELECTIVE CALLS  Selective calling is the capability for two voice radio units to obtain and use an independent talk path for a unit-to-unit call. A properly equipped radio can initiate a selective call to any radio in the system that is also programmed for selective calls. In the OpenSky system, a radio can be configured to initiate selective calls through a pre-programmed list in memory called a speed dial list.  Alternatively, a properly equipped radio can initiate a selective call to any radio in the system by entering the ten-digit User ID (similar to a telephone number) of the target radio.  Some radios are configured to only receive (not initiate) selective calls.  Selective calls are terminated if an emergency is declared.  The network limits selective calls to ten (10) minutes maximum.   If a Selective Call is attempted without registration, “No Priv” is displayed. 8.25.1  Manually Dialing a Selective Call (System Model Only) 1. Enter *8, the User ID number of the user being called, and the # key (no dashes or spaces).  This feature must be enabled by the administrator.   *8<destination user id># A shortened User ID number can be dialed using the following guidelines:  If the radio being called is in the same region and agency – enter only the last four digits.  If the radio being called is in the same region, but a different agency – enter only the last seven digits.  If the radio being called is in another region or if the area is unknown – enter all ten digits. 2. Press the PTT (and release) to ring the other user. The ring tone is sounded. If the other user accepts the call, the called user’s alias will appear in initiating caller’s display.  The two are now in a unit-to-unit call until one ends the call, the call is terminated due to an initiated emergency, or the maximum time limit of ten (10) minutes is reached. If the called radio is busy, “BUSY” will appear in the second line of the display. Table 8-9 lists and defines the messages that are displayed by the radio during a selective call. NOTENOTE

The sender specifies a destination (receiving) radio, selects one  of  the pre-programmed  text  messages,  and  then  transmits  it  to  the  destination  radio.    The message  delivery  system  adds  sender  and  time-of-day  information  and  forwards  the  message  to  the destination  (receiving)  radio.    The  sending  radio  receives  a  brief  message  noting  the  status  of  the transmission.  Received messages are stored in the radio until deleted or until the radio is rebooted.  Received messages do not survive a reboot. 8.26.1  Defining Messages All selective alert messages are pre-defined. The messages are programmed and provisioned remotely by your OpenSky system administrator. The radio user cannot create selective alert message content.  The entire selective alert message, including the abbreviation, can be up to 99 characters long. Table 8-10 lists and defines the messages that may be displayed by the radio during a Selective Alert. Table 8-10: Status of Selective Alert Messages STATUS MESSAGE DEFINITION Alert Sent Alert message successfully sent to target. Delivered Alert message passed to network. Delivering Delivering alert message to target. New alert New alert message received. No alerts No alerts are available. Busy VNIC congested and cannot deliver message at the current time. Dest Down Destination home VNIC down. Ignored Destination is either non-responsive or does not care to respond. Inv Option Distribution option is invalid. Not Reg Destination is not registered. Partial Not all destination ESN instances reachable. Unauth Alrt Unauthorized service function; initiator is not authorized to send the selected service message.

Using the keypad, enter *9, followed by the telephone number being called, and the # key (no dashes or spaces).  *9<telephone number># Wait a couple of seconds and press and release the PTT button to initiate the call.  An initial ring tone will sound to indicate signal call initiation.  Once the gateway picks up the call, the ring tone will change.  Press and hold the PTT and talk normally then release the PTT to listen. 2. To hang up the call, press   or the   key. 8.28  EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS The XG-75P portable radio is capable of sending an emergency alert and making emergency calls on the network.  The OpenSky system handles emergency calls with the highest priority, allowing you or the people you serve to get needed help.  Emergency call and alert capability for a profile is configured by the system administrator.  The radio that initiates an emergency alert emits a signal of three distinct beeps that only goes to the dispatch console.  Table 8-11: Emergency Calls vs. Emergency Alerts EMERGENCY ALERT EMERGENCY CALL An  Emergency  Alert  message  is  sent  to the  dispatcher  console.    The  dispatch console plays an emergency tone  when it receives the message. An Emergency Alert message is sent to the dispatcher console.  All peers (radios  and  consoles)  and  the  dispatch  console  play  the  emergency  tone whenever an emergency call is detected.  An emergency tone plays for each new  emergency,  or  when  a  profile  is  changed,  (assuming  there  is  an emergency on one of the talk groups for the new profile). If  the orange  LED  is flashing  rapidly,  the  radio  is  receiving  an  emergency call.  If the LED is flashing every ½ second, the selected talk group is in the emergency state (although not transmitting).  If the selected talk group is in the emergency state, an asterisk displays next to the talk group name. No  emergency  audio  (voice)  transmission (hot-mic)  capability  available  (per programming by system administrator) In  addition  to  the  Emergency  Alert  signal,  the  microphone  goes  hot  for  a predetermined  length  of  time  to  allow  for  emergency  audio  (voice) transmission.    The  radio  declaring  the  emergency  has  channel  access priority.    The  User  can  also  use the  PTT  after  the  pre-determined  hot-mic audio transmission, or during to extend the initial hot-mic audio transmission. NOTENOTE
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 57 8.28.1  Declaring an Emergency Call or Alert 1. Press the red emergency button on the radio to enter emergency mode.  The  emergency  behavior  for  the  selected  profile  is  configured  by  the  network administrator.    This  determines  whether  pressing  the  Emergency  button  sends  an Emergency Call or just an Emergency Alert.  An Emergency Alert is always part of and sent with an Emergency Call. If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured to Emergency Alert, the three-beep emergency alert signal is sent only to the dispatcher console.  If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured to Emergency Call, the three-beep emergency alert signal is sent to the dispatcher console and to all other radios within the selected talk group.   The default emergency talk group becomes the  selected talk group.   The  display will alternate  between  the  emergency  talk  group  name  and  “EMERGENCY”  to  indicate  that  the emergency has been initiated. 2. The microphone is hot (open mic) for a programmed amount of time in order to send your voice out on the emergency talk group. If the attempt is unsuccessful, “E-PEND”  flashes  periodically  and  a retry is queued for 10 seconds. If unsuccessful because of lost sync, retry occurs immediately upon reacquiring sync. On each retry attempt, the  radio  temporarily  displays  “E-RETRY.”  This  process  repeats  until  the  emergency  is  successfully declared. 8.28.2  Receiving an Emergency Call When receiving an emergency call, the radio sounds the emergency tone (three short high-pitched tones). The radio will flash “EMERGENCY” and display the alias of the user that triggered the emergency or the alias of the talk group (if the incoming talk group is the selected talk group of the receiving radio). With “No Scan,” only the emergency tone is heard, not the initial open mic transmission. To dismiss or ignore the emergency, refer to Section 8.28.3. 8.28.3  Dismissing an Emergency The “Dismissing an Emergency” function allows you to “ignore” an emergency declared by another user.  An emergency is dismissed for a configurable amount of time (default = 5 minutes). 1. After receiving an emergency call, press the   or  button until you see “EmgDismiss.” 2. Press the   to toggle “<” on (dismiss) and off. This works in similar fashion to the lock out menu.  The emergency dismiss timer is cleared when the emergency is cleared. NOTENOTENOTE
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   58 8.28.4  Clearing an Emergency Call or Alert  Check with your system administrator to  ensure  that  your  radio  is  configured with  the ability to clear an emergency. 1. To clear an emergency, press and hold  .  While holding  , press the emergency button.  Release both buttons when the “emergency cleared” tone sounds. 2. The radio returns to your default selected talk group.  The “EMERGENCY” display is removed from the main screen.  If the radio is in stealth mode, clearing the emergency will cause the radio to exit stealth mode.  8.29  OPENSKY ENCRYPTION In the OpenSky network, both data and voice use a 128-bit or 256-bit key encryption standard published by  the  Federal  Information  Processing  Service  (FIPS),  called  Advanced  Encryption  Standard  (AES).  AES is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce for encryption of classified materials. When encryption is enabled on the network, data is encrypted from the MDIS to the Mobile End System (MES) (e.g., XG-75P portable radio).  This form of encryption provides airlink security. Voice encryption is handled either automatically or manually.  Automatic encryption is initiated through the Unified Administration Server (UAS) for a specific talk group and requires nothing from the radio user.    Manual  encryption  is  initiated  by  two  or  more  radio  users.    Both  methods  of  encryption  are discussed in the following sections.  When a user transmits encrypted voice, any listening users with different encryption keys hear distorted voice and “No Access” appears in the radio display. 8.29.1  Automatic Encryption For automatic encryption, a system administrator will select the talk group to be encrypted at the interface to  the  UAS.    Once  the  talk  groups  have  been  selected  and  identified  as  secure,  credentials  for  key generation are generated automatically by the system and provisioned to authorized users.  This process requires that  authorized  users  login  to  the  network and  be  authenticated.   Encryption  keys require  no manual handling and are never sent “in the clear” over any network interface or airlink. 1. Locate the talk group that has been encrypted at the system administrator level. 2. “Pls Login” appears in the display (unless the keypad was used to log in). 3. Log in normally by entering your User ID and Password. If a user is engaged in a call on a talk group encrypted at the network administrator level, “Secure Call” will appear in the second line of the dwell display if the user is logged into that talk group. If a secure call is in progress elsewhere and the user has not logged in, the bottom of the dwell display will alternate between “No Access” and the alias of the radio that is currently engaged in the secure call. NOTENOTENOTE
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 59  If enabled via programming, a radio can automatically login at voice registration and enable voice encryption. 8.29.2  A/B Switch If configured, the A/B switch can be used to enable or disable encryption. 8.29.3  Manual Encryption (System Model Only) Two or more users can manually encrypt a call, if enabled, without an established encrypted talk group.  A pre-determined “key or code” is required.  While a user is engaged in a manually encrypted call, users within the talk group that are not encrypted can still make standard voice calls on that talk group.  The encrypted  user  can  hear  the  standard  unencrypted  calls,  but  cannot  respond  while  still  manually encrypted. Manual key entry only  affects the currently selected talk group.    All  available  talk groups  within the current profile may be independently encrypted.    The key must be pre-determined by the users prior to making a manually encrypted call on a talk group and is entered into the radio using the keypad.  For 128 bit encryption, this key is between 1 and 16 digits.  For 256 bit encryption, this key is between 17 and 32 digits. 8.29.3.1  Using Manual Encryption 1. Press *32 on the keypad. 2. Enter the key (1 – 16 digits for 128 bit encryption; 17 – 32 digits for 256 bit encryption). 3. Press #. 4. To end manual encryption, press *33. If a user is engaged in a call on a talk group that has been manually encrypted at the radio level, the user will see “Secure Call” on the bottom of the dwell display. If a secure (encrypted) call is in progress, and the user has not entered the key, the bottom of the dwell display  will  alternate  between  “No  Access”  and  the  alias  of  the  radio  that  is  currently  engaged in the secure call. Once the user has terminated manual encryption, “UnSecure” appears temporarily in the bottom line of the dwell display. 8.30  STATUS MESSAGES If enabled  via  programming,  the  radio  can  transmit  a  pre-programmed status  message.  Section  8.30.1 describes how to send a status message via the keypad and Section 8.30.2 describes how to send a status message via the menu. 8.30.1  Send Status Message via the Keypad (System Model Radios Only) 1.

  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 61 8.32  SITE LOCK Users may need to select the site in cases where network communications are down.  The Site Lock menu allows a user to manually roam to a specific site.  The sites in the menu are populated with the current site, adjacent sites, and node 2 sites.  The menu allows the user to select a particular site based on the Site Name.  Once selected, the radio will randomly pick a channel at the site that is identified as operational and attempt to attach to it.    If the channel is not available, the radio attempts to attach to the next channel in the channel list for the site until it has attempted every channel at the site.  If no channels are available, the radio plays a “Site Not Found” tone and displays “SiteUnavail” on the second line of the Site Lock menu.  The radio reverts to its normal roaming functionality.  If the radio does find a valid channel on the  site,  it  attaches to  it,  plays  a  “Site  Found”  tone,  displays “SiteAvail” on the second line of the Site Lock menu for 2 seconds, and then reverts to the Dwell menu  8.33  GPS COORDINATES The  radio’s  current  latitude  and  longitude  coordinates  may  be  displayed  using  the  “GPS”  menu.    The following procedure assumes a GPS antenna is connected to the radio and it is receiving adequate signals from GPS satellites. 1. Press   or  until the “GPS” menu appears in the display.  Current GPS coordinate latitude and longitude data continuously scrolls in the top line of the display in a degrees:minutes:seconds format. 2. Press   or  to change to another menu.   If  the  internal  GPS  receiver’s  data  is  expired  (30  minutes  or  more)  or  unavailable,  the radio  uses  the  serving  base  station’s  coordinates  [GPS  (Site)  is  displayed].    The  GPS Menu will also indicate if the data is aged (2 minutes or more) [GPS (Aged) is displayed]. 8.34  V-TAC OPERATION 8.34.1  Extended Coverage Modes (XCOV, XCOV-TG, and XCOV-PROF) In addition to all standard portable radio operating capabilities, Extended Coverage adds the V-TAC’s bridging (vehicular repeat) functionality for accessing the OpenSky radio network. Each portable radio connected to  the  V-TAC  using  Extended  Coverage  is  considered  a  “client”  on  the  V-TAC.  Extended Coverage  benefits  portable  radio  users  since  it  allows  them  to  get  network  connectivity  using  the V-TAC’s higher transmit output power and better antenna system.  The V-TAC supports three Extended Coverage modes: Extended Coverage for individual users (XCOV), Extended  Coverage  for  a  talk  group  (XCOV-TG),  and  Profile  Extended  Coverage  (XCOV-PROF). Typically, Extended Coverage is used after the vehicle’s operator has exited the vehicle with a portable radio unit and the portable unit requires this bridging functionality to access the OpenSky radio network.  The V-TAC takes advantage of OpenSky’s TDMA capability to eliminate interference between its local and network radio links when operating in an Extended Coverage mode, an undesirable characteristic of many traditional vehicular repeater systems. Because the V-TAC employs this technology, interference on the network and local radio links is minimized.  A V-TAC in Extended Coverage mode sends its alias to clients. The alias is displayed in the second line of  the  dwell  menu  of  the  client,  (“VA  <alias>”).  The  client  must  be  connected  to  a  V-TAC  running NOTE
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   62 version OTP14.4 or later for the V-TAC to provide the alias to the client. If the client is connected to a V-TAC running version OTP14.3.1 or earlier, the client displays “VA None.” 8.34.2  Change Between Extended Coverage Modes  By default, the specific Extended Coverage mode utilized is determined by settings programmed into the V-TAC  and  portable  radios  from  the  system  administrator  or  radio  installation  personnel.  These programmed settings determine which Extended Coverage mode the V-TAC and radios normally use and determine the access method employed by a portable radio to connect to the V-TAC. After these settings are programmed to the V-TAC and portable radios, each must be rebooted (powered off and then back on) before the change takes effect.  See the following sections for instructions on how to override this setting manually. The override is only successful if the V-TAC operating mode matches the manually selected portable V-TAC mode. 8.34.3  Radio Limitations Using Extended Coverage Modes Connecting  a  portable  radio  to  a  V-TAC  introduces  minor  functional  limitations.    See  the  following sections for a listing. 8.34.3.1  Limitations Using XCOV, XCOV-TG, and XCOV-PROF Portable radios connected to the V-TAC using any of the Extended Coverage Modes, XCOV, XCOV-TG, or XCOV-PROF, will  not  channel-scan unless they  lose  radio  frequency contact with the V-TAC.    If manually enabled, radios will not scan network channels. 8.34.3.2  Limitations Using XCOV-TG The following portable radio keypad functions are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC using  the  XCOV-TG  mode:  log-off,  manual  log-in,  alerts,  selective  calls,  PSTN calls,  and  speed  dial calls, SOI mode, RTT.  The following portable radio menus are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC using the XCOV-TG  mode:  alert  destination,  alert  message,  alert  received,  channel,  speed  dial,  priority  1  talk group, priority 2 talk group, priority 3 talk group, RTT, Status message, site lock and scan mode.  In addition, the user cannot change talk group or profile. 8.34.3.3  Limitations Using XCOV-PROF The following portable radio keypad functions are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC using the XCOV-PROF mode: log-off, manual log-in, alerts, selective calls, PSTN calls, and speed dial calls, SOI mode, RTT.  The following portable radio menus are disabled when the radio is connected to the V-TAC using the XCOV-TG mode: alert  destination,  alert  message, alert received, priority  1  talk group,  priority  2  talk group, priority 3 talk group and scan mode.  In addition, the user cannot change talk group or profile. 8.34.4  Use XCOV Mode  The Extended Coverage for individual users (XCOV) mode allows up to eight (8) client radios to connect to the V-TAC.  The radios have full radio functionality including selective calling and mobile data.  With the Extended Coverage for  individual users’ (XCOV) mode,  V-TAC configuration defines which portable  radios  are  permitted  V-TAC  access.    The  radio  will  automatically  connect  to  a  V-TAC  if  it cannot find a network channel.  The radio can also be manually connected to a V-TAC as indicated with the *61# and *62# commands, each determined by the system administrator in the radio configuration.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 63 8.34.4.1  Manually Accessing the XCOV Mode System Model Radios 1. Press *61# to manually access XCOV mode.  2. Press *60# to manually disconnect from XCOV mode.  Both Model Radios 1. Press   or   until the Client Mode menu appears. 2. Press   or   until XCOV is displayed. 3. Press   to confirm mode selection.  The radio reverts to the dwell display and the V-TAC icon is displayed. 8.34.5  Use XCOV-TG Mode  When using the XCOV-TG mode, up to thirty (30) client radios can connect to the V-TAC.  However, unlike XCOV, radios connected using XCOV-TG are limited to communicating only on the XCOV-TG talk group.  The radio can only raise an emergency if this talk group is emergency capable. Advanced features such as selective calling and mobile data operations are not available to the XCOV-TG connected clients.  The radio will automatically connect to a V-TAC if it cannot find a network channel. The talk group used for XCOV-TG communications is the talk group that was selected at the V-TAC when it entered XCOV-TG mode.  Before a radio can connect to the V-TAC, the talk group must be selected on the radio.    If  this  talk  group  is  not  provisioned  in  the  radio’s personality,  the  radio  cannot connect  to  the  V-TAC  via  the  XCOV-TG  mode.    While  connected  to  the  V-TAC  via  XCOV-TG,  a different talk group or profile cannot be selected.  When a portable radio is connected to the V-TAC via XCOV-TG, the V-TAC forwards only the network voice traffic on the XCOV-TG talk groups.   8.34.5.1  Manually Accessing the XCOV-TG Mode For the Extended Coverage for a talk group mode (XCOV-TG), a portable radio user is granted access and connects to the V-TAC by simply selecting the same Talk Group that the V-TAC had selected when it entered the XCOV-TG mode.  Contact the system administrator for questions regarding these aspects. During XCOV-TG mode operations, the V-TAC will not disconnect portable radios connected to it.  A portable radio user must manually disconnect from the V-TAC by pressing *60 # on the radio’s keypad.  However, if the V-TAC is switched out of the XCOV-TG mode, all portable radios will be automatically disconnected  from  the  V-TAC.    The  radios  will  continue  to  look  for  another  V-TAC  until  manually disconnected (*60#).  System Model Radios  Press *62# to manually access XCOV-TG mode.   Press *60# to manually disconnect XCOV-TG mode. Both Model Radios 1. Press   or   until the Client Mode menu appears. 2. Press   or   until XCOV-TG is displayed. 3. Press   to confirm mode selection.  The radio reverts to the dwell display and the V-TAC icon is displayed.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   64 8.34.6  Using XCOV-PROF Mode In  XCOV-PROF  mode,  client  attachment  to  a  V-TAC  is  based  on  profile  rather  than  talk  group. XCOV-PROF mode allows the transmission and receipt of voice calls on any talk group in the profile as opposed to only one talk group. XCOV-PROF allows emergencies on a non-selected talk group based on the emergency behaviors of the profile. XCOV-PROF minimizes data traffic between the client and V-TAC while allowing flexibility of voice functionality. As a result, data services between the client and V-TAC are disabled. The radio will automatically connect to a V-TAC if it cannot find a network channel. Note the following regarding XCOV-PROF mode:  The client profile must match the V-TAC.   The client profile used to connect to the V-TAC must have been previously provisioned to the client prior to connection. If the profile is not in the client’s personality, the client cannot connect to the V-TAC.  Neither the V-TAC nor a client can change the profile once it has entered XCOV-PROF mode. The Profile menu will be disabled.  Client global profiles are disabled. 8.34.6.1  Access XCOV-PROF Mode System Model Radios Only:  Enter the command *63 # to set the radio to use the XCOV-PROF mode.  Press *60 # to disconnect from the XCOV-PROF mode. Both Model Radios: 1. Press   or   until the Client Mode menu appears. 2. Press   or   until XCOV-PROF is displayed. 3. Press   to confirm mode selection. The radio reverts to the dwell display and the V-TAC icon is displayed. 8.34.7  Use Scene-of-Incident Mode The Scene-of-Incident mode (SOI) is user-selectable.  The SOI mode provides a local repeater function (V-TAC) with no network connection.  When operating in the SOI mode, the radio is disconnected from the OpenSky network.  Therefore,  communications  with  radios  and  dispatch  personnel  on  the  network  is  not possible. SOI Mode, Manual Channel Entry (System Model Only) 1. Press *4#. 2.

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   72 9.5  UNIVERSAL DEVICE CONNECTOR The Universal Device Connector (UDC) provides connections for external accessories such as a headset, a speaker-microphone, audio test box, audio test cables, and programming cables.  The UDC is located on the right side of the radio, opposite the PTT Button.  The UDC facilitates programming and testing the radio.  The UDC pins perform different functions depending on the accessory attached to the UDC.    Figure 9-7: XG-75P 15-Pin Universal Device Connector 9.6  NOISE CANCELLATION The XG-75P features  Harris’  proprietary  noise  suppression  capability  to  provide  clear  and  crisp  voice quality  in  high-noise  environments  for  use  in  any  mode,  including  both  analog  and  digital communications.  The XG-75P has two microphones; one located on the front (primary) and one on the rear (secondary). The primary microphone operates in exactly the same manner as a normal radio and is the one you talk into.  The  secondary  microphone  is  used  to  pick  up  the  surrounding  noise  when  noise  cancellation  is turned on.  In the case where noise cancellation is enabled and a speaker microphone is attached to the XG-75P, talk into the speaker microphone. In this mode, XG-75P front microphone is used to pick up the surrounding noise, and the rear microphone is unused.  If the secondary microphone is blocked, the XG-75P operates as though noise cancellation is turned off.  9.6.1  Turning Noise Cancellation On and Off A button on the radio or the A/B switch can be programmed to toggle noise cancellation on or off. OR 1. Press the   button. 2. Use the   or   button to select “NOIS CAN.” 3. Press the   again to toggle noise cancellation on or off.  The  top  line  of  the  display  will  briefly  display  “NC  ON”  or  “NC OFF.”  When  noise  cancellation  is enabled, the   icon is displayed on the bottom of the display.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 73 9.6.2  Using Noise Cancellation When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:  Talk within two (2) inches of primary microphone (see Figure 9-8).  Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.   If possible, face the noise source when talking into the radio (see Figure 9-8).  Ensure  the  primary  and  secondary  microphones  are  not  covered.  See  Section  9.6.4  for  more information on the primary and secondary microphones.  In very noisy environments, it is okay to yell into the radio. The radio can handle very loud input levels.  Figure 9-8: Using the Noise Cancellation Feature 9.6.3  The Effect of Distance from the Microphone Unlike a normal microphone system, noise cancellation makes the level of your voice diminish quickly as you  move  away  from  the  radio.  In  essence,  the  radio  starts  to  see  your  voice  as  surrounding  noise. Whereas, you may be comfortable speaking up to a foot away from the front of a normal radio, noise cancellation requires that you keep it close. 9.6.4  Primary versus Secondary Microphone 9.6.4.1  Without a Speaker Microphone Attached The primary microphone is located on the front of the radio and the secondary is on the back of the radio.  9.6.4.2  With a Speaker Microphone Attached When  a  speaker  microphone is  attached, the radio electronically  switches  over  to  use  the  radio’s  front microphone  as  secondary.  The  microphone  on  the  attached  speaker  microphone  becomes  the  primary microphone.

Press both buttons for 2 seconds.  A series of beeps will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone after the keys have been zeroed.  The display will indicate KEY ZERO. If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Keyloader into the radio before private communications may continue. 9.20.3 Receiving an Encrypted Call When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private operation.  If the transmission being  received  is  an  encrypted  transmission,  it  will  be  decrypted,  the    icon  will  be  displayed,  the receiver will unsquelch, and the message will be heard in the speaker.  For this to occur, the selected group or channel must be programmed for private operation and the correct cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio. 9.20.4 Transmitting an Encrypted Call 1. Select the desired group or channel. 2. Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing   key, then select PRIVATE from the menu. On a System radio, the   key can be  used to toggle the Private Mode  on/off. When Private Mode is enabled, the   icon is displayed.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   82 3. If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be enabled on power up. Also, the Private Mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio.  If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, PVT DIS will be displayed if an attempt is made to enable private transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in Private Mode.  If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NOKY will be displayed and the call will not be transmitted. 4. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access tone will be heard when the PTT button is pressed. 9.21  SCANNING TRUNKED GROUPS Groups that have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis may be scanned.

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. 9.22  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. 9.22.1 Wide Area System Scanning The XG-75P series radio can be pre-programmed through RPM for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across mobile systems.  EDACS radio systems manage the radios assigned to the system via a control channel (CC).  Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can  be programmed  to  automatically scan  the  control  channels  of  other  systems. If  a  new  control  channel  is found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone. 9.22.2 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
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 85 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. 9.22.2.1  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. 9.22.2.2  When ProScan is Enabled The radio monitors the  priority  system and  will  switch  to  the  priority system if  the  pre-preogrammed criteria ProScan options are met.   If ProScan is enabled, the rate at  which the radio will  scan  for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control, set in RPM (refer to RPM On-Line Help).  See Section 9.22.3 for more information on ProScan. 9.22.3 ProScan The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi-site applications.  ProScan is a  multi-site,  system-scanning  algorithm.    ProScan  provides  the  radio  with  the  ability  to  select  a  new system for the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops below a predefined level.  This algorithm enables each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and compare it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adjacent scan list.  The signal quality metric  used  for  the  ProScan  algorithm  is  based  on  a  combination  of  both  Received  Signal  Strength Indicator  (RSSI)  and  Control  Channel  Verification  (CCV)  measurements.    When  the  selected  system degrades to a pre-programmed level, the radio will begin to look for a better control channel.  Once a control channel that exceeds the pre-programmed parameters is found, the radio will change to the new system and emit a tone (if enabled through programming).  If the control channel is completely lost, the radio will enter Wide Area System scanning and search the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found. 9.23  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. 9.23.1 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. 9.23.2 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.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   86 2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio has auto keyed (see Table 9-4) 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. 9.24  STEALTH MODE Press the button programmed for Stealth Mode operation to toggle Stealth Mode on or off. During Stealth Mode, all buttons are disabled except PTT, the button programmed for Stealth operation, Emergency, and Nuisance delete. The radio will receive and transmit when Stealth Mode is enabled. The radio can be configured to disable any or all of the following during Stealth Mode:  LCD display  LED  Backlight  Side/alert tones Stealth Mode can be configured to persist through a power cycle. 9.25  INDIVIDUAL CALLS 9.25.1 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.  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. NOTE

Repeat steps 1-4 to store additional numbers, to change numbers already stored, or to change the storage location of a number. 9.28  STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION The Status and  Message operations allow for  the transmission of a  pre-programmed status or a pre-programmed message to an EDACS or 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).
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   92 9.28.1 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. To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the   key and then the   key to ramp to STATUS, press the   key again 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 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.  9.28.2 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.  9.29  DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION (EDACS) Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 93 not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.  Pressing and holding the   button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and  the user selects a  group  that has not  been  regrouped, the display will  show  NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting  and receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups.  After the time-out expires or the   key has been pressed, the status is selected and is transmitted to the site or stored in radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a future time. If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic group. 9.30  MACRO KEY OPERATION Macro  key  operation  permits  the  user  to  accomplish  a  series  of  keystrokes  with  a  single  "macro" keystroke. Each macro key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input (i.e., keypad keys, option buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when pressed or when released. A macro key can also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key is activated.  For  detailed  operation  and  assignment  of  macro  keys,  contact  your  communications  supervisor  or administrator. 9.31  DATA COMMUNICATIONS The XG-75P series portable radios 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.  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). 9.31.1 Displays The following will be displayed during data operation: DATA T/R Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting/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.  9.31.2 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.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   94  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” key.  Refer to previous bullet. 9.31.3 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. 9.31.4 Exiting Data Calls Under normal conditions, the radio enters the scan lockout mode and returns to the control channel after completion of a data  call  (transmit  or  receive).  If, during  a  data  call,  one  of  the  following  operations occurs, the data call is immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function:   If the PTT is activated.  If an Emergency is declared by pressing the pre-programmed emergency button.  If a group or system is changed. 9.31.5 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.  Pressing the   button.   Pressing the PTT.   Changing a group or system.   Entering Telephone Interconnect mode.   Entering Individual call mode.   Receiving a new emergency assignment.   Declaring or clear an emergency.   Receiving an individual or phone call.   Receiving an Agency, Fleet, or System All Call.  Pressing   (Scan model) or   (System model) to toggle Scan on or off. 9.31.6 Data Lockout Mode During the voice call scan hang time (pre-programmed) the radio does not receive data calls.
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 95 9.32  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-75P portable radios support selective signaling in Type 99 decode format.  9.32.1  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-75P portable radios operate in one of two states, Monitor mode or Selective Call mode.   In Monitor mode, Type 99 “OFF,” the decoder is disabled and all calls are heard by the user.   In Selective Call mode, Type 99 “ON,” the decoder is enabled and only calls intended for the user are heard.  9.32.2 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.   9.32.3 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.  9.32.4 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 9.32.3 to reset Type 99 operation.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   96 9.33  AUDIO PLAYBACK Every call received by the radio is recorded in internal memory, overwriting the last recorded call. When the PLAYBACK key is  pressed, the  last recording is  replayed and  any future recordings are  stopped. Pressing PLAYBACK again repeats the same recorded call. Pressing and holding the PLAYBACK key until the tone sounds erases the recording  and starts the recording of incoming calls again. If a call is received while the recorded call is playing, the recorded call continues to play, rather than the received audio. However, if a call is received and the recorded call is played back in close succession received audio could mute call playback.  This feature requires RPM R8A and later, and ECP R15A and later.  The PLAYBACK function must be programmed to a button on the radio via RPM. 9.34  RADIO TEXTLINK OPERATION Radio TextLink provides a simple means of exchanging pre-defined,  or  “canned,”  text  messages.  This section describes how to send messages if the Radio TextLink feature is enabled.  9.34.1 Send TextLink Messages 1. Press   to access the menu. 2. Press   or   to scroll through menu until SND MAIL is displayed. Press   to select. 3. Press   or   to scroll through the pre-defined messages that scroll across the top of the display. Press   to select to select the desired message. 4. Press   or   to scroll through the list of available destination IDs and select the desired ID with . 9.34.2 View Received TextLink Messages Received Messages are listed in the order in which they are received (newest at the top).  All messages include the user LID along with the date and time stored/displayed.  The mailbox can hold 16 messages at a  time.    If  a  new  Message  arrives  after  the  limit  is  reached,  the  new  message  overwrites  the  oldest message.  1. Press   to access the menu. 2. Press   or   to scroll through menu until RD MAIL is displayed. Press   to select. 3. Scroll through the list of received messages using the   or   key. 4. Selecting a received message with the   key will bring up a reply to sender option. 9.34.3 Delete TextLink Messages Select DEL MAIL with the   key to delete ALL messages in the inbox. 9.34.4 View the Current Time Select TIME with the   key to retrieve the current date and time. NOTE
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 97 9.35  VIEW GPS INFORMATION If the GPS Speaker microphone is connected to the XG-75P, you can view your position and satellite information via the GPS Menu.  GPS requires an unobstructed view of the sky and the signal is greatly diminished inside buildings, tunnels, heavily forested areas, etc. GPS may not work at all under some conditions, especially in metal enclosures or buildings. 1. Press   to access the menu. 2. Press   or   to scroll through menu until GPS is displayed and press   to select. 3. Press   or   to scroll through available information screens.  9.36  CONTROL AND STATUS SERVICES The  XG-75P  supports  Control  and  Status  services.  These  services  allow  the  computer  application  to monitor  and  control  a  radio.  The  Control  and  Status  Services  can  be  used  from  a  locally-connected Mobile  Data  Terminal  (MDT)  or  a  network  MDT.  In  some  cases,  the  radio  can  support  both  MDTs simultaneously. However, priority is given to the local MDT. The Radio Status Service allows an MDT or Fixed End System (FES) to receive real-time status updates from a radio. An MDT sends Host Attach/Detach messages to the radio as UDP datagrams destined for the UDP Service Address and Service UDP Port of the radio. All responses and asynchronous reports are returned to the address and port of the requesting host. Refer to the ECP Control and Status Services Feature Manual, 14221-7200-6040, for more information on this feature.
14221-1100-2010, Rev. E   98 10  PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 10.1  IMMERSIBLE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE XG-75P  radios  labelled  “immersible”  (see  Figure  10-1)  require  periodic  testing  using  specialized equipment to verify the radio’s watertight integrity.  To  recertify  the  watertight  integrity  of  the  XG-75P  portable  radio,  the  radio  must  be  inspected  by  a service center authorized and certified by Harris to perform the necessary tests to verify the watertight integrity. The  Harris  Service  Network  includes  company-owned  service  facilities  as  well  as  the  capabilities  of service  partners  located  throughout  the  world.   We  have  over  250  Authorized  Service  Centers  (ASC) qualified to perform warranty repairs, installation and maintenance services.  For a list of ASCs, contact our Customer Care Center.  Preventive Maintenance for Immersion-Rated Radios CAUTION XG-75P  radios  with  Immersion  Option  must  be  serviced  by  a  service  center authorized and certified by Harris to perform the necessary tests to verify watertight integrity.  As part of a thorough preventive maintenance plan, Harris recommends Immersion-Rated  XG-75P  radios are,  at  a  minimum, tested  and  re-certified  on  an annual basis.  Harris further recommends that the radios be tested on or close to the anniversary of the ship date printed on the Model Number label on the back of the radio (see Figure 10-1).   Figure 10-1: Labels
  14221-1100-2010, Rev. E 99 10.2  BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING Use Table 10-1 as a troubleshooting guide if the radio is not functioning properly.  If additional assistance is required, contact a qualified service technician or call Harris at 1-800-528-7711.  Table 10-1: Troubleshooting SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION Radio will not turn on. Low battery charge. Change the battery pack to a fully charged pack. No Audio. Speaker volume is muted. Increase the volume level. Poor Audio. User is in a poor coverage area or not on the network. Move to a better coverage area. Radio powers off for no apparent reason. Radio may be experiencing very low voltage.  Have the battery checked by an authorized technician. Radio will not transmit. Radio may be out of coverage area or may be overheated. Return to coverage area if possible. If overheated, let radio cool before retrying transmission. Report this failure to an authorized technician. CAUTION Though none of the above symptoms or solutions require disassembling the radio, this is a reminder  that  Harris  recommends  the  radio  should  only  be  disassembled  by  Harris-authorized  and  certified  service  personnel.    More  importantly,  if  the  radio  is  covered  by Immersion-Rated  Option  MAEV-PKGMR,  then  the  radio  must  be  serviced  by  Harris authorized and certified service personnel.  This is a requirement to maintain the watertight integrity warranted under Immersion Option MAEV-PKGMR.

Une  brûlure  légère  peut  se produire  au  contact  d’une  antenne  endommagée  avec  la peau.  Remplacez  immédiatement  une  antenne endommagée. L’utilisation d’une radio portative alors que l’antenne  est  absente  peut  causer  des  blessures, endommager  la  radio  et  pourrait  enfreindre  la réglementation de la FCC.  AVERTISSEMENT Utilisez seulement l’antenne fournie ou une antenne approuvée. Des antennes non autorisées, des modifications ou des ajouts à une  antenne  peuvent  endommager  la  radio  et  enfreindre  la réglementation de la FCC.  2.4.1.2  Appareils Électroniques  AVERTISSEMENT L’énergie des RF provenant  de radios portatives peut affecter certains  appareils  électroniques.  La  majorité  de  l’équipement électronique  moderne  dans  les  voitures,  les  hôpitaux,  les maisons,  etc.  est  blindé  contre  l’énergie  des  RF.  Cependant, dans les zones où  l’on vous demande de fermer l’équipement de radio bidirectionnelle, respectez toujours les règles. En cas de doute, éteignez-le!
14221-1100-2020, Rev. B 19  2.4.1.3  Avion  MISE EN GARDE  Éteignez  toujours  une  radio  portative  avant d’embarquer à bord d’un avion!  Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’avec la permission de l’équipage.  NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol! 2.4.1.4  Détonateurs Électriques   MISE EN GARDE Pour  prévenir  la  détonation  accidentelle  des  détonateurs électriques,  n’utilisez  PAS  de  radios  bidirectionnelles  à moins  de  305 m  (1 000 pi)  des  opérations  de  détonation. Respectez  toujours  les  indications  « Éteindre  les  radios bidirectionnelles » situées là où des détonateurs électriques sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900) 2.4.1.5  Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive  MISE EN GARDE Les zones ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive sont  souvent,  mais  pas  toujours,  identifiées  clairement comme  telles.  Il  peut  s’agir  de  zones  d’alimentation  en carburant, comme les postes d’essence, les installations de stockage  ou  de  transfert  de  carburant  ou  de  produits chimiques,  ainsi  que  les  zones  dont  l’air  contient  des produits chimiques  ou  des particules,  comme des  grains, de la poussière ou des poudres métalliques. Des étincelles dans de telles zones peuvent provoquer une explosion  ou  un  incendie,  causant  ainsi  des  blessures  ou même la mort. Éteignez les radios bidirectionnelles dans toute zone ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive. Il est rare, mais pas impossible qu’une radio ou ses accessoires produisent des étincelles. 3.

CAUTION Always  use  the  correct  options  and  accessories  (battery, antenna,  speaker/mic,  etc.)  for  the  radio.  Immersion  rated options  must  be  used  with  an  immersion  rated  radio. Intrinsically  safe options must be  used  with  intrinsically  safe radios. 4.  BATTERY PACKS The XG-75  series portable  radios use rechargeable, recyclable  Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion), or Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly) battery packs. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each type of battery pack. 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  pack  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.  CAUTION Always  use Harris  authorized chargers  and  conditioners.  Use of  unauthorized  chargers  and  conditioners  may  void  the warranty.  4.1  CONDITIONING NIMH BATTERY PACKS Condition a new NiMH battery pack before putting into use. This also applies to  rechargeable NiMH battery  packs  that  have  been  stored for  long  periods (weeks,  months,  or  longer).  Conditioning  requires  fully  charging  and  fully discharging the  battery pack  three (3)  times using the  tri-chemistry charger.  The first time the battery pack 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.
14221-1100-2020, Rev. B 21  CAUTION Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in shortened performance by the battery. 4.2  CONDITIONING LI-ION OR LI-POLY PACKS Lithium battery packs  do not suffer from memory effect and do  not require conditioning.   4.3  STORING LI-ION BATTERY PACKS If  a  battery  pack  is  expected  to  be  idle  for  a  month  or  more,  it  should  be properly prepared.  Li-Ion battery packs should  not be  stored fully charged.  Before storing the battery pack, discharge it to 40% capacity.  If the battery is not discharged prior to storage, its overall capacity may be reduced.  Although all battery packs experience some capacity loss during storage, the shelf life for Li-Ion battery packs is about 3 months.  However, note that any capacity drop which occurs during storage is permanent and cannot be reversed. Li-Ion battery packs should be purchased and used immediately.  They should not be stock-piled without a rotating stock plan.  4.4  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio battery packs or establishing a battery maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367 which may be  ordered  by  calling  toll  free  1-800-368-3277  (international  -  1-434-455-6403) or via https://premier.pspc.harris.com/infocenter/. 4.5  BATTERY DISPOSAL CAUTION In no instance should a battery pack be incinerated.
