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.

which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the equipment
or severely degrade the equipment performance.
The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve
system performance or clarify a process or procedure.
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.

• IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 4, 2010: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio
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.

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.

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
14
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)
14221-1800-2000

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.

• Mission plan activated
14221-1800-2000
26
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.
4.7.1
To enable Noise Cancellation:
Enable Noise Cancellation
1. Press to access the main menu.
2. Select SETTINGS AUDIO SETTINGS.
3. Highlight and enable NOISE CANCELLATION using .
Refer to Section 5.6.1 for more information on the Audio Settings menu.
NOTE
NOTE
14221-1800-2000
27
4.7.2
When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:
Using Noise Cancellation
• Verify NOISE CANCELLATION is enabled (see Section 4.7.1).
• 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.
The Effect of Distance from the Microphone
4.7.4
4.7.4.1 Without a Speaker Microphone Attached
Primary versus Secondary Microphone
The primary microphone is located on the front of the radio and the secondary is on the back of the radio.
See Figure 4-5 for the location of these microphones.
INSERT GRAPHIC
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).
14221-1800-2000

INSERT GRAPHIC
Figure 4-6: With a Speaker Microphone Attached
4.7.5
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.

4.8 WI-FI
4.9 BLUETOOTH
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

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.

4.34 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.
• If audio tones are enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone if the emergency is not acknowledged within
the programmed number of retries.

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.

Side User Programmable Button 1 (yellow button with 3 dots) – unless programmed for
Monitor/Clear
Side User Buttons 2 and 3 (black buttons with 2 dots or 1 dot)
Keypad (numeric keys, #, * and navigation/soft keys)
These features can be assigned to any number of positions as long as each index value selected for it is
unique across multiple assignments of the same feature; for example, you can’t assign a Zone with a
particular index (e.g., “ZONE A”) to both positions A and B.
Indexed features:
• Channel Bank – Selects channels 1-16 in position A; 17-32 in position B; and 33-48 in position C.
If Channel Bank is selected for any single position, the entire set of 3 positions (A, B, and
C) will be set to Channel Bank.
• 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:
NOTE
14221-1800-2000
71
o This sets the channel knob to be system-based channel selection, just like selecting a system
from the main “Zone” menu or ramping up/down using the side user-programmable buttons.
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 is set.
When changing from a System assigned position, no actions/changes will be taken by the radio.

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.

Windows XP Route Configuration Notes
The italicized IP address (i.e.,
10.1.100.209) is the radio’s RF IP address as
configured in RPM and the site. The bold IP address (i.e.,
199.81.106.0) is a
submask built off of the radio’s PPP IP address.
a. route add 199.81.106.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 10.1.100.209 /p
b. ping 199.81.106.100 -n 1
2. Description of commands:
a. This route addition allows access to GPS over PPP. The RPM defaults to this nonce IP address.
If RPM specifies something different, this will need to be updated. The “/p” makes the IP
address permanent.
b. The ping should work.

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
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

cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including
interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
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.

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 mesure des champs électromagnétiques

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

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,
