1. REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION 
1.1 SAFETY CONVENTIONS 
The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions 
that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply 
with these precautions or with specific warning elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of 
design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. Harris assumes no liability for the customer’s 
failure to comply with these standards. 
The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if 
not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not 
proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully 
understood or met. 
The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like, 
which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the equipment 
or severely degrade the equipment performance.

1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION 
The Harris XL-
200P 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 XL-200P 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.

Standards Specification.  Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus 
(All Frequency Bands). 
1.2.1 
RF Exposure Guidelines 
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable 
limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines: 
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may 
also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with 
this radio by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to 
Table 3-1.) 
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more 
than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio 
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the 
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button. 
• ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low 
power can reduce RF exposure. 
• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of 
unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance 
requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 1-1.) 
• As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT LEAST 0.47 inches (1.2 
cm) from the body and at least 0.98 in (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF 
exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to 
the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends you hold the microphone at least 2 in (5 cm) 
from mouth, and slightly off to one side.

The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of RF exposure, 
and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits. 
1.2.2 
During transmissions, this Harris radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with 
other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to 
do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as 
hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites. 
Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility 
1.3 REGULATORY APPROVALS 
1.3.1 
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
Part 15 
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and  
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 
operation. 
1.3.2 
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the 
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any 
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. 
Industry Canada 
1.4 OPERATING TIPS 
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio.  Operating the radio in low 
lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle, or in a metal framed building can 
severely reduce the range of the unit.  Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.  
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the 
antenna is vertical.  Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also 
improve communications.  Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted 
antenna.  
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio.  Always 
properly charge the battery.  
1.4.1 
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.  
Efficient Radio Operation 
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on! 
WARNING

14221-1800-2000   
10 
1.4.1.1 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 3-1.) 
1.4.1.2 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! 
1.4.1.3 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!! 
1.4.1.4 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) 
1.4.1.5 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.

2.2 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LA FORMATION SUR LA SÉCURITÉ 
MISE EN GARDE
La radio portative Harris XL-200P 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 XL-200P 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

2.2.1 
AVERTISSEMENT
Directives sur l’exposition aux RF 
Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les 
limites acceptables de la FCC pour l’
utilisation professionnelle, respectez toujours les 
directives suivantes : 
• N’utilisez PAS la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit connectée, car ceci peut endommager la 
radio et également causer un dépassement des limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Une antenne 
appropriée est celle fournie par Harris avec cette radio, ou une antenne spécifiquement autorisée par 
Harris pour être utilisée avec cette radio. (Reportez-vous à Tableau 2-1.) 
• Ne transmettez PAS pendant plus de 50 % de la durée d’utilisation totale de la radio (« cycle de 
service de 50 % »). La transmission pendant plus de 50 % du temps peut causer un dépassement des 
exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. La radio transmet lorsque 
l’indicateur « TX » apparaît sur l’affichage. La radio transmet lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton « PTT » 
(bouton de microphone). 
• Transmettez TOUJOURS en basse puissance lorsque possible. En plus de préserver la charge de la 
pile, une faible puissance réduit l’exposition aux RF. 
• Utilisez TOUJOURS des accessoires autorisés Harris (antennes, piles, pinces de ceinture, haut-
parleurs/micros, etc.). L’utilisation d’accessoires non autorisés peut entraîner un dépassement des 
exigences de conformité pour une exposition aux RF professionnelle ou contrôlée de la FCC. 
(Reportez-vous à Table 3-1.) 
• Tel qu’indiqué dans Tableau 2-1, conservez TOUJOURS l’appareil et son antenne à AU MOINS 
1,2 cm du corps, et à au moins 2,5 cm 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.

2.4 CONSEILS D’UTILISATION 
L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une radio portative. L’utilisation 
de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un 
véhicule ou dans un immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de manière 
considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité.  
Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être 
obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre 
direction ou à un emplacement plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation 
d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule.  
L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez 
toujours correctement la pile.  
2.4.1 
Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la transmission d’un message.  
Utilisation Efficace de la Radio 
MISE EN GARDE
Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée! 

14221-1800-2000

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 un
e 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 3-1.) 
2.4.1.2 Appareils Électroniques 
AVERTISSEMENT
L’énergie des RF provenant de radios portatives peut affecter certains appareils 
électroniques. La majorité de l’équipement électronique moderne dans les voitures, les 
hôpitaux, les maisons, etc. est blindé contre l’énergie des RF. Cependant, dans les zones 
où l’on vous demande de fermer l’équipement de radio bidirectionnelle, respectez toujours 
les règles. En cas de doute, éteignez-le! 
2.4.1.3 Avion 
MISE EN GARDE
• Éteignez toujours une radio portative avant d’embarquer à bord d’un avion! 
• Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’avec la permission de l’équipage. 
• NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol! 
2.4.1.4 Détonateurs Électriques  
MISE EN GARDE
Pour prévenir la détonation accidentelle des détonateurs électriques, n’utilisez PAS 
de radios bidirectionnelles à moins de 305 m (1 000 pi) des opérations de détonation. 
Respectez toujours les indications « Éteindre les radios bidirectionnelles » situées là 
où des détonateurs électriques sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900)

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.

4.6 POWER ON AND SET VOLUME 
The power switch and volume control are the same knob on top of the radio (see Figure 4-1). 
Turn the Power/Volume Knob clockwise to power on XL-200P and increase the volume.  
Minimum volume levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to 
a low volume setting. 
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. 
4.7 NOISE CANCELLATION 
The XL-200P features Harris’ proprietary noise suppression capability to provide clear and crisp voice 
quality in high-noise environments.  This can be used in any mode, including analog and digital 
communications.  
The XL-200P 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 XL-200P, talk 
into the speaker microphone. In this mode, XL-200P front microphone is used to pick up the surrounding 
noise, and the rear microphone is unused. See Section 4.7.4  for more information. If the secondary 
microphone is blocked, the XL-200P operates as though noise cancellation is turned off.

• Ensure the primary and secondary microphones are not covered. See Section 4.7.4  for more 
information on the primary and secondary microphones. 
• Talk within two (2) inches of primary microphone (see Figure 4-4). 
• Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.  
• If possible, face the noise source when talking into the radio (see Figure 4-4). 
• In very noisy environments, it is o.k. to yell into the radio. The radio can handle very loud input 
levels. 
Figure 4-4: Using the Noise Cancellation Feature 
4.7.3 
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 under normal operation, noise cancellation 
requires that you hold the radio close.

Figure 4-5: Without a Speaker Microphone Attached 
4.7.4.2 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 primary (see 
Figure 4-6).

When using the SCBA mask, the primary microphone can be held directly against the voice port. If the 
SCBA has a voice amplifier, the same rule applies. Ensure that the secondary microphone is uncovered. If 
possible, point the secondary microphone toward the noise source.

4.10 PTT OPTIONS 
The radio can be programmed via RPM with one of the following PTT options: 
• Radio and Accessory – In this mode, when the radio is PTT’d the audio source will correspond with 
the PTT source. 
 If the source of PTT is radio, the audio is routed via the radio microphone. 
 If the source of PTT is an external microphone accessory, the audio is routed via the external 
microphone accessory. 
• Accessory Only -  Any PTT input will have the audio routed through the external microphone 
accessory. 
The Bluetooth Speaker Mic is unaffected by this setting.  PTTing the Bluetooth Speaker 
Mic always results in audio being routed via the Bluetooth Speaker Mic. 
4.11 VOICE ANNUNCIATION 
When enabled via programming, the Voice Annunciation feature provides audible feedback for various 
radio operations.  The radio can be programmed to play an audio message for any or all of the following.  
This message can be a pre-recorded (canned) message or a user-recorded message.  
• Zone changes 
• Channel changes 
• System changes 
• Encryption On/Off 
• Noise Cancellation On/Off 
• Scan On/Off 
• Talkaround On/Off 
For more information on configuring the radio for Voice Annunciation, refer to the Voice Annunciation 
Feature manual 14221-7200-6110.

4.12 SELECT CHANNEL AND BANK 
4.12.1 
The XL-200P can be programmed with 1000 channels per system, with 16 channels in each of the three 
banks. 
Using Group/Channel Knob 
• Bank A: Channel A1 - A16 
• Bank B: Channel B1 - B16 
• Bank C: Channel C1 - C16 
• Bank D: Channel D1 - D16 
Use the Group/Channel knob to select group/channel 1 – 16. Use the A/B/C/D switch to set bank. The 
selected bank is indicated on the display.  
If your system has more than 64 channels, the SEL CHAN/GRP option available from 
the shortcut menu, allows you to select a channel group with channels 97-144, etc. See 
Section 4.35 for more information. 
4.12.2 
To manually enter a channel using the radio keypad: 
Manually Enter Channel Number 
1. Select CHANNEL ENTRY from the Shortcut Menu (this menu option must be programmed to the 
shortcut menu using RPM R10B or later). 
2. Enter the channel number.  You can enter raw numeric index or bank letter and channel number (e.g., 
B18 and 66 will both select channel 66). To enter the bank letter, press   while the cursor is on 
the first digit to cycle through 2/A/B/C. 
Entering a number greater than the maximum number of entries in the selected zone will select the last 
channel.  From the radio’s perspective, channels entered in this manner are not treated any differently 
from channels selected by the channel knob; for example, the scan list will be adjusted to add the channel 
(and make it P1 if applicable), emergencies will go out on the entered channel, etc. 
Physically moving the channel knob or changing the system causes the radio to select 
the channel indicated by the channel 
knob position (in other words, subsequent 
channel changes are not made with respect to the manually entered channel). 
4.13 LOCK/UNLOCK KEYPAD 
The A/B switch can be programmed to lock/unlock the keypad.

See Table 4-1 for the various options that can be programmed to the   switch. 
If the Talk-Around Indication feature is enabled in RPM, the radio will play a unique grant tone when a 
call is placed on a simplex channel or when Talk-Around has been enabled on a duplex channel.  This 
feature applies to both Analog and P25 Conventional systems.  It optionally allows the radio to also play 
the same tone when it receives a call while operating in simplex or Talk-Around.  If configured, the radio 
plays the tone at the selected volume level. 
The tone will not play on systems configured with MDC. 
Talk-Around Indication can be specified for each individual Analog and P25 Conventional system 
configured in personality.  The following options can be selected, and apply only when the radio is on a 
simplex channel or when Talk-Around has been enabled by the user: 
• Disabled: (This is the default option.)  When this option is selected, the radio plays the standard grant 
tone when a call is placed.  The radio does not play a tone when a call is received. 
• Transmit Only: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “Talk-Around” grant tone 
when a call is placed.  The radio does not play a tone when a call is received. 
• Transmit & Receive: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “Talk-Around” grant 
tone when a call is placed, and at the beginning of a received call. 
In the radio personality, 
the “Alert Tone” parameter needs to be enabled for each 
channel on the Conventional Frequency Set.  The “Ready To Talk Tone” parameter 
must also be enabled for the Talk Around Indication tone to be played when the radio 
is keyed. 
4.20 TYPE 99 OPERATION 
Type 99 is Harris' name for in-band, two-tone sequential signaling. It is a conventional signaling protocol 
used to control the muting and unmuting of a radio. This signaling is commonly used for selective calling 
of individual units or groups of units in a conventional system. 
In Type 99 tone systems, calls are not heard until the radio detects the proper two-tone sequence. This, in 
conjunction with squelch, prevents the user from hearing noise or undesired conversations. When the 
radio detects the second tone, it sounds the appropriate Type 99 alert tone. After the second tone stops, 
the receiver audio path is opened in order for the user to receive messages. 
4.20.1 
1. Press  to access the main menu. 
Enable/Disable Type 99 from Call Menu: 
2. Use   to highlight and select CALL. 
3. Press   to change T99 TOGGLE between ENABLED and DISABLED. T99 is displayed in the

DESCRIPTION 
This is the main scre
en showing the OTAR status 
(receiving/transmitting, registering, and rekeying).  
4.34 MDC-1200 (CONVENTIONAL ONLY) 
MDC-1200 is a legacy in-band signaling protocol that provides the radio with the ability to transmit and 
receive  a unique PTT ID. This PTT ID can be decoded by receiving radios and displayed as a 
hexadecimal number or an alias string. In addition, MDC-1200 provides radios with the ability to transmit 
emergency status to a console.  Refer to the MDC-1200 Feature Manual, 14221-7200-6000, for complete 
instructions on configuring and using this feature. 
4.34.1 
If MDC signaling on PTT press is enabled in RPM, the radio transmits an MDC PTT ID message when 
PTT is pressed. If the Sidetone option is enabled in RPM, the radio plays a Ready-to-Talk (RTT) tone 
after the MDC pre-signaling has been transmitted. 
Normal PTT Operation 
If MDC signaling on PTT release is enabled (in RPM), the radio transmits post-call MDC signaling when 
PTT is released. 
• IF STE is enabled (in RPM), the MDC post-call signaling is transmitted after STE is sent on PTT 
release only. 
• MDC post-call signaling is also sent when there is a radio unkey due to Carrier Control Timeout 
(CCT).  Normal CCT alert tones occur prior to unkey. 

 14221-1800-2000 
43 
4.34.2 
When the radio receives an MDC PTT ID, it searches the MDC ID Alias List for an alias associated with 
the ID.  If one is found, it displays the alias.  If none is found, the radio displays the ID in hexadecimal. 
MDC PTT ID Receive Handling 
4.34.3 
Emergency declaration is accomplished by the radio generating an MDC Emergency PTT message.  An 
Emergency is considered acknowledged when the radio receives an “Ack To Emergency” PTT message 
with an ID which matches its own ID. If Emergency Audio is enabled and the PTT Sidetone option is 
enabled, the radio plays the Ready-to-Talk tone after the MDC Emergency PTT signaling is transmitted. 
Emergency Declaration 
• If an MDC Alert on ACK is enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone when the MDC emergency is 
acknowledged.

WARNING
NOTE

14221-1800-2000   
58 
5.7.1 
5.7.1.1 Home Channel 
Home, Priority 1, and Priority 2 Channels 
This is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT while the radio is actively scanning 
and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the radio just received while scanning is 
called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 in RPM, the radio always transmits on the home channel in scan. 
5.7.1.2 Priority 1 Channel 
This channel will be scanned more often than other channels in the list and will be scanned in between 
every other channel in the scan list. An example scan sequence would be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1, 
C4,  etc. Also, the priority channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority 
channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio will 
drop C3 and switch to P1. 
5.7.1.3 Priority 2 Channel 
This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2, 
P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. Also, this channel will be scanned even while 
actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and 
activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can also 
preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1. 
5.7.2 
Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional 
channels while still maintaining  P25 trunked radio operation. In essence, the radio is able to scan a 
conventional scan list while still receiving a P25 trunked control channel and receiving P25 trunked calls.  
Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done in RPM and 
cannot be changed on the radio.  However, a user with sufficient UI privilege level (see Section 
Trunked/Conventional Scanning 
4.16) is 
allowed to edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and conventional channels on the selected 
Conventional  Priority System).  As the number of conventional channels being scanned increases, the 
time between scanning each channel increases  (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with the 
consequent increase in the number of calls that will late-enter.   In order to avoid missing calls, it is 
recommended to keep the number of conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer. 
The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC. 
5.7.3 
If vote scan is enabled via RPM, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the best 
audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always scanning. You cannot 
stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. There is an icon in the upper status bar 
indicating that the radio is vote scanning. 
Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only) 
If Talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is turned off.

• Zone Selection – Sets to the Zone index value. 
 When setting the A/B/C switch to an indexed zone assigned position, the radio sets, but does not 
“hold,” that zone.  This has the resulting effects: 
o This sets the channel knob to be zone-based system/channel selection just like selecting a 
zone from the main “Zone” menu. 
o If a user then changes to a different system or zone, it will override the radio’s 
zone/system/channel selection accordingly and not require it to remain where the switch 
assignment set it to. 
 When changing from a Zone assigned position, no actions/changes will be taken by the radio. 
• System Selection – Sets to the System index value. 
 When setting the A/B/C switch to an indexed System assigned position, the radio sets, but does 
not “hold,” that System.  This has the resulting effects:

7.2 NARROWBANDING 
The FCC has mandated that all public safety radios manufactured after January 1, 2013 comply with 
narrowbanding restrictions (see http://transition.fcc.gov/pshs/public-safetyspectrum/narrowbanding.html 
for more information). Radios manufactured after the above date will comply with these restrictions. 
Existing radio personalities that contain frequencies that violate the new FCC rules will cause an invalid 
channel error indication on the radio display. The user will need to change the radio personality to comply 
with the new rules. Note that there are multiple exceptions to the narrowbanding mandate, including the 
Marine Frequencies listed in Section 7.1.

APPENDIX A  PPP/SLIP CONNECTION 
A.1 OVERALL CONFIGURATION 
This  appendix describes how to setup PPP and SLIP connections between a Portable radio acting as a 
Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) and a Mobile Data Peripheral (MDP).  The MDP in Figure A-1  is a 
Windows XP machine.  This example is used throughout the configuration,  but is only intended as a 
guide.  It is important to realize that all IP addresses are site/configuration specific.  Prior to configuring 
the MDT or the MDP, the system administrator should provide configuration specifics. 
Figure A-1: Example of PPP/SLIP Configuration 
• MDP PPP IP Address – There are two types of configuration for the MDP’s IP address, dynamically 
assigned by PPP or statically assigned within the MDP’s PPP configuration settings: 
 Dynamic via PPP (shown in Figure A-1) - When using PPP’s dynamic IP address assignment, the 
radio will assign its own RF IP address to the MDP.  Outbound IP data from the site will be 
processed by the radio if the port matches the ports within the radio’s services (Radio Textlink, 
OTAR, OTAP, etc.).  All other outbound IP data from the site is forwarded to the MDP.  Inbound 
IP data from the MDP will be processed by the radio if the MDP uses the radio’s PPP IP address; 
otherwise, it will be forwarded to the site. 
 Static – The MDP software allows the configuration of a static IP address to the MDP.  While this 
provides more configurability, routing of traffic to the MDP from the site must be configured 
within the site’s routers. 
• MDT’s PPP IP – This is typically a nonce IP address (shown in Figure A-1) to allow the MDP to 
address the radio explicitly (i.e., ping). 
• MDT’s RF IP – This IP address is how the site addresses the radio and must match configuration at 
the site. 
Other IP addresses in the figure above are beyond the scope of this configuration document and are 
provided for the purpose of the configuration example only. 

14221-1800-2000   
86 
A.2 RADIO CONFIGURATION  
1. Use RPM to configure MDT services, PPP IP address, and RF IP address. 
2. Within Data Options  Data Interfaces tab, enable MDT and configure the MDT’s PPP address: 
3. Within the Data Options, Data Transport tab, configure the MDT’s RF IP3
. 
3 If the MDP will be configured to have the radio provide the IP address (dynamic PPP IP address assignment), it is important 
to set the RF IP Address even if the site will dynamically assign it.  Otherwise, the radio will fail PPP negotiation until the 
radio has registered with the site.

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 XL-200P 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

1.2.1 
RF Exposure Guidelines 
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within 
the FCC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere 
to the following guidelines: 
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may 
damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be 
exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by 
Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this 
radio.  
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty 
cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF 
exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is 
transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio 
will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button. 
• ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to 
conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure. 
• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt 
clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the 
FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to 
be exceeded. (Refer to Table 1-1.) 
• As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT 
LEAST 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) from the body and at least 0.98 inches (2.5

1.4 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 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.  
1.4.1 
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a 
message.  
Efficient Radio Operation 
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered 
on. 
1.4.1.1 Antenna Care and Replacement 
Always keep the antenna at least 0..47 inches (1.2 cm) away 
from the body and 0.98 inches (2.5 cm) from the face when 
transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance 
requirements are not exceeded. 
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. 
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized 
antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage to 
the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations.

LA SÉCURITÉ 
MISE EN GARDE
La radio portative Harris XL-200P 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 XL-200P 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 
AVERTISSEMENT
Directives sur l’exposition aux RF 
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.  

14221-1800-2010 11 
• 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 1,2 cm (0,47 po) du corps, et à au moins 2,5 cm 
(0,98 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.

2.4 CONSEILS D’UTILISATION 
L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une 
radio portative. L’utilisation de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, 
sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un véhicule ou dans un 
immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de 
manière considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de 
l’unité.  
Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines 
améliorations peuvent être obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. 
Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre direction ou à un emplacement 
plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation d’une 
antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule.  
L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas 
d’une radio portative. Chargez toujours correctement la pile.  
2.4.1 
Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la 
transmission d’un message.  
Utilisation Efficace de la Radio 

14221-1800-2010 13 
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
Conservez TOUJOURS l’appareil et son antenne à au 
moins 1,5 cm (0,59 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. 
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 
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 

14 14221-1800-2010 
MISE EN GARDE

Éteignez toujours une radio portative avant 
d’embarquer à bord d’un avion! 
• Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’
avec la permission de 
l’équipage. 
• NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol! 
2.4.1.4 Détonateurs électriques  
MISE EN GARDE
Pour prévenir la détonation accidentelle des détonateurs 
électriques, n’utilisez PAS de radios bidirectionnelles à 
moins de 305 m (1 000 pi) des opérations de détonation. 
Respectez  toujours les indications « Éteindre les radios 
bidirectionnelles » situées là où des détonateurs électriques 
sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900) 
2.4.1.5 Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive 
MISE EN GARDE
Les zones ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive 
sont souvent, mais pas toujours, identifiées clairement 
comme telles. Il peut s’agir de zones d’alimentation en 
carburant, comme les postes d’essence, les installations de 
stockage ou de transfert de carburant ou de produits 
chimiques, ainsi que les zones dont l’
air contient des 
produits chimiques ou des particules, comme des grains, 
de la poussière ou des poudres métalliques. 
Des étincelles dans de telles zones peuvent provoquer une 
explosion ou un incendie, causant ainsi des blessures ou 
même la mort. 
Éteignez les radios bidirectionnelles dans toute zone ayant 
une atmosphère potentiellement explosive. Il est rare, mais 
pas impossible qu’une radio ou ses accessoires produisent 
des étincelles.

4. BATTERY PACKS 
The XL-200P series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal 
Hydride (NiMH), Lithium-Polymer (Li-Poly), or Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery 
packs. Please follow the directions below to maximize the useful life of each 
type of battery pack. 
Do not disassemble or modify Lithium battery packs.  The 
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 pack is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte 
that results in skin or eye contact with the electrolyte, 
immediately flush the affected area with water. If the 
battery electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 
minutes and consult a physician immediately. 
Always use Harris authorized chargers and conditioners. Use 
of unauthorized chargers and conditioners may void the 
warranty. 
4.1 CONDITIONING NIMH BATTERY PACKS 
Condition a new NiMH battery pack before putting into use. This also applies 
to  rechargeable NiMH battery packs that have been stored for long periods 
(weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging and fully 
discharging the battery pack three (3) times using the tri-chemistry  charger.  
The first time the battery pack is put into the charger, this unit will condition 
Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and discharging 
(cycling) the battery.  Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details. 
WARNING
CAUTION
WARNING
WARNING
CAUTION

16 14221-1800-2010 
Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial 
use will result in shortened performance by the battery. 
4.2 CONDITIONING LITHIUM BATTERY PACKS 
Lithium-based battery packs do not suffer from memory effect and therefore 
do not require conditioning.   
4.3 STORING LI-ION BATTERY PACKS 
If a battery pack is expected to be idle for a month or more, it should be 
properly prepared.  Li-Ion battery packs should not be stored fully charged.  
Before storing the battery pack, discharge it to 40% capacity.  If the battery is 
not discharged prior to storage, its overall capacity may be reduced.  Although 
all battery packs experience some capacity loss during storage, the shelf life 
for Li-Ion battery packs is about 3 months.  However, note that any capacity 
drop which occurs during storage is permanent and cannot be reversed. Li-Ion 
battery packs should be purchased and used immediately.  They should not be 
stock-piled without a rotating stock plan.
