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-15P 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. WARNINGCAUTIONNOTEWARNING
14221-1450-2000 7  IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 4, 2010: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio Standards Specification. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands).  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  Regulation (EC) No 1137/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 October 2008  Directive 2012/11/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 April 2012 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.  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 1.4 cm (0.55 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (0.98 inches) 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. CAUTION

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 and/or the exposure limit values in Annex A of EU Directive 2004/40/EC. 1.2.2 Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility 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. 1.3 REGULATORY APPROVALS 1.3.1 Part 15 This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 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 Industry Canada This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. 1.4 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 This is worst case based on the thinnest body mount accessory (belt clip).
14221-1450-2000 9 1.5 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message. Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on! 1.5.1 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 6-1.) 1.5.2 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! 1.5.3 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!! 1.5.4 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) WARNINGWARNINGCAUTIONCAUTIONWARNINGWARNING
14221-1450-2000 10 1.5.5 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. WARNING

14221-1450-2000 13 2.2.2 Interférence/Compatibilité Électromagnétique Pendant les transmissions, cette radio Harris produit de l’énergie des RF qui peut causer de l’interférence avec d’autres appareils ou systèmes. Pour éviter de telles interférences, fermez la radio dans les zones où il est indiqué de le faire. N’utilisez PAS le transmetteur dans des zones sensibles aux radiations électromagnétiques, comme les hôpitaux, les avions et les sites de détonation. 2.3 INTERFÉRENCE DES RADIOFRÉQUENCES 2.3.1 Partie 15 de la FCC Cet appareil est conforme à la Partie 15 de la réglementation de la FCC. Le fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : 1. Cet appareil ne doit pas causer une interférence nuisible; et 2. Cet appareil doit accepter toute interférence reçue, y compris une interférence qui peut causer un fonctionnement non souhaité. 2.3.2 Industrie Canada Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement. 2.4 CONSEILS D’UTILISATION L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une radio portative. L’utilisation de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un véhicule ou dans un immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de manière considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité. Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre direction ou à un emplacement plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule. L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez toujours correctement la pile. 2.4.1 Utilisation Efficace de la Radio Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la transmission d’un message. MISE EN GARDE Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée! 2.4.1.1 Entretien Et Remplacement De L’antenne
14221-1450-2000 14 MISE EN GARDE N’utilisez pas la radio portative si son antenne est endommagée ou absente. Une brûlure légère peut se produire au contact d’une antenne endommagée avec la peau. Remplacez immédiatement une antenne endommagée. L’utilisation d’une radio portative alors que l’antenne est absente peut causer des blessures, endommager la radio et pourrait enfreindre la réglementation de la FCC. AVERTISSEMENT Utilisez seulement l’antenne fournie ou une antenne approuvée. Des antennes non autorisées, des modifications ou des ajouts à une antenne peuvent endommager la radio et enfreindre la réglementation de la FCC. (Reportez-vous à Table 6-1.) 2.4.1.2 Appareils Électroniques AVERTISSEMENT L’énergie des RF provenant de radios portatives peut affecter certains appareils électroniques. La majorité de l’équipement électronique moderne dans les voitures, les hôpitaux, les maisons, etc. est blindé contre l’énergie des RF. Cependant, dans les zones où l’on vous demande de fermer l’équipement de radio bidirectionnelle, respectez toujours les règles. En cas de doute, éteignez-le! 2.4.1.3 Avion MISE EN GARDE  Éteignez toujours une radio portative avant d’embarquer à bord d’un avion!  Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’avec la permission de l’équipage.  NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol! 2.4.1.4 Détonateurs Électriques MISE EN GARDE Pour prévenir la détonation accidentelle des détonateurs électriques, n’utilisez PAS de radios bidirectionnelles à moins de 305 m (1 000 pi) des opérations de détonation. Respectez toujours les indications « Éteindre les radios bidirectionnelles » situées là où des détonateurs électriques sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900) 2.4.1.5 Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive
14221-1450-2000 15 MISE EN GARDE Les zones ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive sont souvent, mais pas toujours, identifiées clairement comme telles. Il peut s’agir de zones d’alimentation en carburant, comme les postes d’essence, les installations de stockage ou de transfert de carburant ou de produits chimiques, ainsi que les zones dont l’air contient des produits chimiques ou des particules, comme des grains, de la poussière ou des poudres métalliques. Des étincelles dans de telles zones peuvent provoquer une explosion ou un incendie, causant ainsi des blessures ou même la mort. Éteignez les radios bidirectionnelles dans toute zone ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive. Il est rare, mais pas impossible qu’une radio ou ses accessoires produisent des étincelles.
14221-1450-2000 16 3. CLEANING Keep the exterior of the radio, battery, antenna, and radio accessories clean. Periodically clean using the following procedures: 1.

14221-1450-2000 20 5. INTRODUCTION The XG-15P series portable radio is available in a System model with a 15-button DTMF front-mounted keypad. Figure 5-1: XG-15P Radio The XG-15P portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications. It is designed to support multiple operating modes including:  P25 Trunked Mode  P25 Digital Conventional Mode  Conventional Analog Mode The XG-15P supports a full range of advanced digital trunking features, including voice 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 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. 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 depends 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-15P. Then refer to the corresponding section(s) within this manual for feature and operation information.
14221-1450-2000 21 5.1 WATER RESISTANCE The XG-15P series portable radios operate reliably even under adverse conditions. These radios meet MIL-STD-810F specifications for wind driven rain, humidity, and salt fog. 5.2 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 5-2: XG-15P 15-Pin Universal Device Connector

However, if the “scanned-to” group/channel is programmed at a higher priority the radio remains on the “scanned-to” group/channel.  The radio continues scanning if a new group/channel is selected when scan is ON. 3. Pressing the PTT button when scan is ON will cause the radio to transmit on the displayed group/channel or to the currently selected group (depending on programming). 7.21.2 Add Groups and Channels to a Scan List 1. With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group/channel to add to the selected scan list. 2. Press . The current priority status of the group/channel will be displayed in column 10 of line three for a time-out period. If the group is not part of the scan list, the status will be blank. 3. While the status is displayed, press to add the group/channel to the scan list. The icon is displayed on line three. 4. Press a second time to set the group to Priority 2. The icon is displayed on line three. 5. Press a third time to set the group/channel to Priority 1. The icon is displayed on line three. The priority level selection sequence only advances the group/channel to next higher priority level and stops at priority level 1. To select a lower priority level, the group/channel must be deleted from the scan list and then added back to the scan list. Each new group/channel added to the scan list starts at the lowest priority. If the Priority 1 and Priority 2 group/channel are already set and a new
14221-1450-2000 38 group/channel is assigned as Priority 1 or Priority 2, the previously assigned group/channel will change to non-priority scanning. One of the following messages may be momentarily displayed. SCAN DIS The radio is not programmed to scan. FIXED P1 A Priority 1 group/channel has been pre-programmed into the radio. A new Priority 1 group cannot be selected. FIXD LST A fixed scan list has been pre-programmed into the radio. It is not possible to change the list without reprogramming the radio. To quickly view multiple group scan status, press either or the key. Then slowly rotate the group knob. Each group/channel status will appear on the display. 7.21.3 Deleting Groups from a Scan List 1. With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group/channel to delete from the selected scan list. 2. Press . The current status of the group/channel is displayed for a time-out period. 3. While the status is displayed, press to delete the group/channel from the scan list. , ,or turns OFF. Any group/channel that is not in a scan list will show a "blank" for the time out period when it is the selected group/channel. 7.21.4 Nuisance Delete A group/channel can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group/channel, by pressing the key during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group/channel. The group/channel will be deleted from the scan list in the same manner as if done using the steps above. Deletions done in this manner will not remain deleted if the radio is powered OFF and then powered ON. 7.22 SYSTEM SCAN (P25 TRUNKED) The radio can be programmed using Radio Personality Manager (RPM) with the following System Scan features. These features are automatically enabled when the radio is powered ON. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to be toggled during radio operation. The System Scan state will be maintained through system changes but will default to ON when the radio is powered ON. Enable/Disable via Menu Selection Press and then use the or buttons to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is displayed. Then press to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. Enable/Disable via Pre-Programmed Keypad Key Press the key pre-programmed to toggle System Scan and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state. 7.22.1 Wide Area System Scanning The XG-15P series radio can be pre-programmed through RPM for Wide Area System Scan operation for roaming across mobile systems. 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 NOTE
14221-1450-2000 39 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. The amount of time before the radio enters Control Channel Scan after losing the control channel is configurable in RPM. 7.22.2 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 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. 7.22.2.1 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. 7.22.2.2 When ProScan is Enabled The radio monitors the priority system and will switch to the priority system if the pre-programmed 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 7.22.3 for more information on ProScan. 7.22.3 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. 7.23 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.
14221-1450-2000 40 7.23.1 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. 7.23.2 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 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. 2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep indicating the radio has auto keyed (see Table 7-4) and is ready for voice transmission. *TXEMER* flashes on line two in the display until the emergency is cleared. 3. Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. and momentarily turn ON. 4. Release PTT when the transmission is complete. To clear the emergency, first press and hold the button. While continuing to hold the button, press the EMERGENCY button. (This will work if the radio is programmed to clear emergencies.) 7.24 MIXED SYSTEM ZONES A Zone is a grouping of analog conventional channels, P25 conventional channels, and/or talkgroups. Mixed System Zones are defined in RPM and can be comprised of any combination of channels/groups from multiple systems. If a Mixed System Zone is not configured in RPM, it will not appear on the radio. Up to 50 Mixed System Zones can be defined. To select a Mixed System Zone: 1. Press . 2. Press or to select ZONE and press . 3. Press or to select the desired Mixed System Zone and press . Alternately, the System/Group/Channel knob or a button on the radio can be programmed to scroll through available Mixed System Zones.

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. 7.26.1 Mixed Zone Scan The Mixed Zone Scan (MZS) feature gives the user the capability to scan based on a custom scan list that is assigned at the system level. The Custom Scan (CS) list can contain System and Channel/Group configurations across P25 Trunk, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is defined on a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When defined on a P25C or Analog system, the radio only scans conventional channels. MZS also gives the user the capability to scan beyond the selected system group set.  P25T Scan When a custom scan list is assigned to a P25T system, the user has the ability to scan P25T, P25C, and Analog groups/channels. All P25T systems must have the same WACN, System ID, and Unit ID to be added to the custom scan list.  P25C and Analog Scan When a custom scan lists is assigned to a P25C or Analog System, the user has the ability to scan P25C and Analog channels. P25T systems are ignored. 7.26.1.1 Custom Scan List Selection The Custom Scan List is assigned at the System level. Scanning protocols (Custom Scan, System Scan, and Conventional Priority Scan) are mutually exclusive. Once a custom scan list is assigned to a system, when you enable scan, you are scanning the channel/groups defined in the custom scan list. A Custom Scan List can be assigned to a system through RPM only.

14221-1450-2000 46 7.28.3 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. 1. Follow the procedure in Section 7.28.2 to establish a connection to the telephone system or consult the system administrator for the procedure to access a dial tone on the trunked or conventional system. 2. Overdial numbers are transmitted using one of the following methods: METHOD 1: 1. Enter the overdial selection mode by pressing the button. 2. Use the or buttons to scroll through the list of stored numbers. is displayed. Press the PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the number needs to be transmitted again it must be selected or entered again (this prevents unwanted numbers from being sent the next time the PTT button is pressed during the call). Overdial select/entry mode remains active until the call is dropped, cleared, or is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing . METHOD 2: 1. Enter the overdial selection mode by pressing the button. 2. Press and hold the PTT button while entering the overdial number sequence from the keypad. This method sends DTMF tones during individual, telephone interconnect, trunked group, or conventional channel calls. Press the PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the number needs to be transmitted again it must be selected or entered again (this prevents unwanted numbers from being sent the next time the PTT button is pressed during the call). Anytime the PTT button is pressed and held, the keypad is enabled for DTMF entry. Overdial select/entry mode remains active until the call is dropped, cleared, or is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing . This overdial select/entry mode remains active until dropped, cleared, or is pressed. The overdial select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing the button. 7.29 PRE-STORING INDIVIDUAL AND TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS FROM THE KEYPAD Individual Call ID numbers, telephone numbers, and other number sequences for overdialing are stored in the special calls lists when programming the radio. The first ten entry locations of these lists can be changed by the radio operator. The keypad is used when adding, changing, and storing numbers in these entry locations. Use the following procedure to store a number in one of the first ten entries of a special call list:
14221-1450-2000 47 1. Press the or button to enter the individual call list or the phone call list. is displayed. 2. Scroll through the list using the or keys until one of the first ten entries is reached. NO ENTRY is displayed if the location is empty. 3. Enter the desired number. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and holding 0-9, , or until an underscore appears in the display (telephone interconnect only). The individual call list entries will accept up to 5 digits. The phone call list entries accept a combination of up to 31 digits and pauses. 4. Press and hold the key until the display changes indicating that the number has been stored. Repeat steps 1-4 to store additional numbers, to change numbers already stored, or to change the storage location of a number. 7.30 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION (P25 MODES) The Status and Message operations allow for the transmission of a pre-programmed status or a pre-programmed message to a P25T 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 (see Section 7.30.1). 7.30.1 Status Operation 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. View the currently selected status after it has been transmitted by pressing the key and then the key 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 condition will flash in the display.
14221-1450-2000 48 The status selection can be changed by pressing a different status key 0 through 9, or the status operation can be cancelled by pressing Clear/Monitor button ( ). Both operations must be carried out prior to the time-out period. 7.30.2 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 Clear/Monitor button ( ). Both operations must be carried out prior to the pre-programmed time-out period. 7.31 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 may 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. 7.32 PORTABLE DATA The XG-15P 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 an MDT or a host computer is a programmable option per radio. Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or received). 7.32.1 Displays The following will be displayed during data operation: DATA T/R Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting/receiving a data call. DATA OFF Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state. DATA ON Appears for two seconds on top line of display when the radio is toggled to the data enabled state.
14221-1450-2000 49 7.32.2 DATA OFF Operation The radio can be placed in the data disabled state by any of the following methods. When the data state is disabled, DATA OFF appears on the top line of the display.  Declaring an emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency condition exists). Alert tone will sound.  Pressing Option Button 1 (if pre-programmed as “no data” (ND) key). Alert tone will sound.  Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key. Refer to previous bullet. 7.32.3 DATA ON Operation The data state is enabled by one of the following (depending on how it was disabled). DATA ON will appear on the top line in the display for two seconds then the display will return to normal.  Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key toggles data state ON or OFF.  Clearing an emergency. This is valid only if the emergency caused “DATA OFF” operation. 7.32.4 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. 7.32.5 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.  Press the button.  Press the PTT.  Change a group or system.  Enter Telephone Interconnect mode.  Enter Individual call mode.  Receive a new emergency assignment.  Declare or clear an emergency.  Receive an individual or phone call.  Receive an Agency, Fleet, or System All Call.  Press to toggle Scan ON or OFF.
14221-1450-2000 50 7.32.6 Data Lockout Mode During the voice call scan hang time (pre-programmed) the radio will not receive data calls. 7.33 TYPE 99 OPERATION (ANALOG CONVENTIONAL) 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-15P 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 will be heard. 7.33.1 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. 7.33.2 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. 7.33.3 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 Section 7.33.2 section to reset Type 99 operation. 7.34 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.
14221-1450-2000 51 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. 7.35 RADIO TEXTLINK OPERATION Radio TextLink provides a simple means of exchanging pre-defined, or “canned,” text messages. This section describes how to send messages if the Radio TextLink feature is enabled. 7.35.1 Send TextLink Messages 1. Press to access the menu. 2. Press or to scroll through menu until SND MAIL is displayed. Press to select. 3. Press or to scroll through the pre-defined messages that scroll across the top of the display. Press to select to select the desired message. 4. Press or to scroll through the list of available destination IDs and select the desired ID with . 7.35.2 View Received TextLink Messages Received Messages are listed in the order in which they are received (newest at the top). All messages include the user LID along with the date and time stored/displayed. The mailbox can hold 16 messages at a time. If a new Message arrives after the limit is reached, the new message overwrites the oldest message. 1. Press to access the menu. 2. Press or to scroll through menu until RD MAIL is displayed. Press to select. 3. Scroll through the list of received messages using the or key. 4. Selecting a received message with the key will bring up a reply to sender option. 7.35.3 Delete TextLink Messages Select DEL MAIL with the key to delete ALL messages in the inbox. 7.35.4 View the Current Time Select TIME with the key to retrieve the current date and time. 7.36 VIEW GPS INFORMATION If GPS is enabled in RPM and the GPS Speaker microphone or GPS dongle is connected to the XG-15P, 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 NOTE

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. 7.37 CONTROL AND STATUS SERVICES The XG-15P 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.

6 14221-1450-2010 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 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 1.4 cm (0.55 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (0.98 inches) 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.

12 14221-1450-2010 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.  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 1,4 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. Tableau 2-1: Distances de test de conformité des expositions aux RF RADIOFRÉQUENCES (MHz) DISTANCES TESTÉES (pire des scénarios) Corps2 Visage 700/800 MHz (768.0125 - 775.9875) (798.0125 - 804.9875) (806.0125 - 815.09875) (851.0125 - 860.9875) 1,4 cm 2,5 cm Dans cette section figurent les renseignements nécessaires pour sensibiliser l’utilisateur à l’exposition aux RF et sur ce qu’il faut faire pour s’assurer que cette radio fonctionne dans les limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. 2 Ce est le pire des cas basée sur le corps plus mince monter accessoire (clip ceinture).
14221-1450-2010 13 2.2.2 Interférence/Compatibilité Électromagnétique Pendant les transmissions, cette radio Harris produit de l’énergie des RF qui peut causer de l’interférence avec d’autres appareils ou systèmes. Pour éviter de telles interférences, fermez la radio dans les zones où il est indiqué de le faire. N’utilisez PAS le transmetteur dans des zones sensibles aux radiations électromagnétiques, comme les hôpitaux, les avions et les sites de détonation. 2.3 INTERFÉRENCE DES RADIOFRÉQUENCES 2.3.1 Partie 15 de la FCC Cet appareil est conforme à la Partie 15 de la réglementation de la FCC. Le fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : 1. Cet appareil ne doit pas causer une interférence nuisible; et 2.

L’utilisation de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un véhicule ou dans un immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de manière considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité. Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre direction ou à un emplacement plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule. L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez toujours correctement la pile. 2.4.1 Utilisation Efficace de la Radio Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la transmission d’un message.
14 14221-1450-2010 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 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!
14221-1450-2010 15 2.4.1.4 Détonateurs Électriques MISE EN GARDE Pour prévenir la détonation accidentelle des détonateurs électriques, n’utilisez PAS de radios bidirectionnelles à moins de 305 m (1 000 pi) des opérations de détonation. Respectez toujours les indications « Éteindre les radios bidirectionnelles » situées là où des détonateurs électriques sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900) 2.4.1.5 Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive MISE EN GARDE Les zones ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive sont souvent, mais pas toujours, identifiées clairement comme telles. Il peut s’agir de zones d’alimentation en carburant, comme les postes d’essence, les installations de stockage ou de transfert de carburant ou de produits chimiques, ainsi que les zones dont l’air contient des produits chimiques ou des particules, comme des grains, de la poussière ou des poudres métalliques. Des étincelles dans de telles zones peuvent provoquer une explosion ou un incendie, causant ainsi des blessures ou même la mort. Éteignez les radios bidirectionnelles dans toute zone ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive. Il est rare, mais pas impossible qu’une radio ou ses accessoires produisent des étincelles. 3.
