1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

The Harris XG-75P portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during

transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use

Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by

individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This

radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled

environment.

The XG-75P portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for

“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this Harris radio complies with the following Standards and

Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for

exposure to humans:

 FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

 American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect

to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

 American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

 DIRECTIVE 2004/40/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29

April 2004 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the

risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) and amended by:

 Directive 2007/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007

 Directive 2008/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008

1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines

To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable

limits for occupational use and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive

2004/40/EC, always adhere to the following guidelines:

 DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may

also cause the FCC RF exposure limits and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive

2004/40/EC to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by Harris or an

antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to Table 6-1.)

 DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more

than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements and/or the exposure limit

values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the

“TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk)

button.

 ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low

power can reduce RF exposure.

WARNING

CAUTION

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

 ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of

unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance

requirements and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC to be

exceeded. (Refer to Table 1-1.)

 As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT LEAST 1.6 cm (0.63

inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC

RF exposure compliance requirements and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive

2004/40/EC are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your

transmission, Harris recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and

slightly off to one side.

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

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.)

WARNING

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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.

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

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.

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.

WARNING

CAUTION

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

4.7 BATTERY DISPOSAL

In no instance should a battery be incinerated. Disposing of a battery by burning will

cause an explosion.

RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK DISPOSAL – The product you have

purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its

useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this

battery into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for

details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal. Canadian and U.S. users

may call Toll Free 1-800-8-BATTERY® for information and/or procedures for

returning rechargeable batteries in your locality.

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.

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

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.

NOTE

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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.

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.

 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.

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.

This quick key sequence is used to set the current active profile to the default profile in the personality as

defined in the UAS.

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.

This quick key sequence is used to transmit the RTT Automatic Normal Message to the console.

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

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

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.

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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

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.

NOTE

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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

 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

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.

appear in the display followed by the active talk group.

8.26 SELECTIVE ALERTS

Selective alert messaging is an OTP feature that allows one of up to eight (8) pre-programmed (canned)

text messages to be sent from one radio to another. 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.

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.

NOTE

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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.

NOTE

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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.

NOTE

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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)

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

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

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

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

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#.

9 EDACS, CONVENTIONAL, AND P25 OPERATION

9.1 TURNING ON THE RADIO

1. Power ON the radio by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise. A short alert

signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use.

The radio can be programmed to require the entry of a PIN in order to operate the radio.

Check with your System Administrator if you forget your PIN. As the PIN is entered, an

asterisk is displayed for each digit. The actual value is not displayed.

2. The display shows the last selected system and group or a default system and group (depending on

programming).

3. Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level.

4. Select the desired system and group. The display indicates the current system and group names.

5. The radio is now ready to transmit and receive calls.

In the trunked environment, CC SCAN will be displayed if communication with the

system's control channel cannot be established. This may occur if, for example, the radio

is out of range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another location or

select another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked mode

operations. CC SCAN is displayed on the group line until a control channel is accessed.

NOTE

14221-1100-2010, Rev. E

9.2 CONTROLS

The XG-75P portable radios feature two rotary control knobs, an emergency button, and a dual-position

A/B switch located on the top of the radio (Figure 9-1). The Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and two option

buttons are located on the side (Figure 9-2) of the radio. The front mounted keypad of the System model

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.

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

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 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

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

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

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.

9.26.3 Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency: Overdial

Once the radio has established a connection to the public telephone system, it may be necessary to “over-

dial” more digits to access banking services, answering machines, credit card calls, or other types of

systems that require Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) access digits.

Overdial operation can also be used to initiate a telephone interconnect call via DTMF signaling if a dial

tone has already been accessed on the system. This method makes a telephone interconnect call while

operating in the conventional mode but will also function in trunked mode if a dial tone is directly

accessible.

Telephone numbers and other number sequences for overdialing can be stored in the phone list when

programming the radio. These numbers are accessed by pressing the key, then following the

selection mode rules. Perform the following procedures to access and dial these stored numbers.

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

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

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

 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.

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

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

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.

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).

1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

The Harris Corporation XG-75 portable radio generates

RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This

radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use

Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of

employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the

ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT

intended for use by the “General Population” in an

uncontrolled environment.

The XG-75P portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF

exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this radio complies

with the following Standards and Guidelines with regard to RF energy and

electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to

humans:

within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use

and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU

Directive 2004/40/EC, always adhere to the following

guidelines:

 DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may

damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits and/or

the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC to be

exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by

Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris Corporation for use

with this radio.

 DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty

cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF

exposure compliance requirements and/or the exposure limit values in

Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC to be exceeded. The radio is

transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio

will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.

 ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to

conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.

 ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt

clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the

FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements

and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC

to be exceeded.

 As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT

LEAST 1.6 cm (0.63 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00

inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure

compliance requirements and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of

EU Directive 2004/40/EC are not exceeded. However, to provide the best

sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends

you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from your mouth, and

slightly off to one side.

the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00 inch) from the face when

transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance

requirements are not exceeded.

WARNING

Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing

antenna. A minor burn may result if skin comes into

contact with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged

antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the

antenna missing could cause personal injury, damage the

radio, and may violate FCC regulations.

WARNING

Use only supplied or approved antennas. Use of

unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments

could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC

regulations.

1.3.3 Electronic Devices

CAUTION

RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic

equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars,

hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However,

in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio

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

WARNING

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often,

but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling

areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or

storage facilities, and areas where the air contains

chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal

powders.

Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire

resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Turn OFF two-way radios when in any area with a

potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not

impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate

sparks.

2.2 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LA FORMATION SUR

LA SÉCURITÉ

MISE EN GARDE

La radio portative Harris XG-75P produit de l’énergie

électromagnétique des RF lorsqu’en mode de

transmission. Cette radio est conçue et classée pour une

« Utilisation professionnelle seulement », ce qui signifie

qu’elle ne doit être utilisée que dans le cadre d’un emploi

par des individus conscients des risques et des moyens de

limiter ceux-ci. Cette radio N’EST PAS conçue pour une

utilisation par la « Population générale » dans un

environnement non contrôlé.

La radio portative XG-75P a été testée et est conforme aux limites

d’exposition aux RF de la FCC pour une « Utilisation professionnelle

seulement ». De plus, cette radio Harris est conforme aux normes et directives

suivantes quant à l’énergie des RF et aux niveaux d’énergie

électromagnétique, ainsi qu’à l’évaluation de ces niveaux pour l’exposition

aux humains :

 Bulletin 65 du OET de la FCC, édition 97-01, supplément C, portant sur

l’évaluation de la conformité aux directives de la FCC quant à

l’exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques des

radiofréquences.

 American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), norme de l’IEEE

sur les niveaux sécuritaires d’exposition humaine aux champs

électromagnétiques des radiofréquences, 3 kHz à 300 GHz.

 American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), pratique

recommandée par l’IEEE pour la mesure des champs électromagnétiques

potentiellement dangereux – RF et micro-ondes.

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.

16 14221-1100-2020, Rev. B

 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 Tableau 2-1.)

 Tel qu’indiqué dans Tableau 2-1, 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.

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.

18 14221-1100-2020, Rev. B

2.4.1 Utilisation Efficace de la Radio

Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la

transmission d’un message.

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.

2.4.1.2 Appareils Électroniques

AVERTISSEMENT

L’énergie des RF provenant de radios portatives peut affecter

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.
