NOTE 1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The Harris XG-15P portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment. The XG-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. 14221-1450-2000 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 CAUTION 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. 14221-1450-2000 Table 1-1: RF Exposure Compliance Testing Distances TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) RADIO FREQUENCY (MHz) 700/800 MHz (768.0125 - 775.9875) (798.0125 - 804.9875) (806.0125 - 815.09875) (851.0125 - 860.9875) Body1 Face 1.4 cm (0.55 in.) 2.5 cm (0.98 in.) 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. This is worst case based on the thinnest body mount accessory (belt clip). 14221-1450-2000 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! WARNING 1.5.1 Antenna Care and Replacement WARNING CAUTION 1.5.2 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! Aircraft WARNING 1.5.4 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.) Electronic Devices CAUTION 1.5.3 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. 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!! Electric Blasting Caps WARNING 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) 14221-1450-2000 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. WARNING 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. 10 14221-1450-2000 2.

REMARQUE 2.2 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LA FORMATION SUR LA SÉCURITÉ MISE EN GARDE La radio portative Harris XG-15P produit de l’énergie électromagnétique des RF lorsqu’en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue et classée pour une « Utilisation professionnelle seulement », ce qui signifie qu’elle ne doit être utilisée que dans le cadre d’un emploi par des individus conscients des risques et des moyens de limiter ceux-ci. Cette radio N’EST PAS conçue pour une utilisation par la « Population générale » dans un environnement non contrôlé. La radio portative XG-15P a été testée et est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC pour une « Utilisation professionnelle seulement ». De plus, cette radio Harris est conforme aux normes et directives suivantes quant à l’énergie des RF et aux niveaux d’énergie électromagnétique, ainsi qu’à l’évaluation de ces niveaux pour l’exposition aux humains : Bulletin 65 du OET de la FCC, édition 97-01, supplément C, portant sur l’évaluation de la conformité aux directives de la FCC quant à l’exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques des radiofréquences. American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), norme de l’IEEE sur les niveaux sécuritaires d’exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques des radiofréquences, 3 kHz à 300 GHz. American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), pratique recommandée par l’IEEE pour la mesure des champs électromagnétiques potentiellement dangereux – RF et micro-ondes. 11 14221-1450-2000 IC la norme RSS-102, Numéro 4, 2010: Gestion du spectre et télécommunications normes radioélectriques. L'exposition aux radiofréquences Conformité des appareils de radiocommunication (toutes bandes de fréquences). 2.2.1 Directives sur l’exposition aux RF AVERTISSEMENT Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les limites acceptables de la FCC pour l’utilisation professionnelle, respectez toujours les directives suivantes : N’utilisez PAS la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit connectée, car ceci peut endommager la radio et également causer un dépassement des limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Une antenne appropriée est celle fournie par Harris avec cette radio, ou une antenne spécifiquement autorisée par Harris pour être utilisée avec cette radio. (Reportez-vous à Table 6-1.) Ne transmettez PAS pendant plus de 50 % de la durée d’utilisation totale de la radio (« cycle de service de 50 % »). La transmission pendant plus de 50 % du temps peut causer un dépassement des exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. La radio transmet lorsque l’indicateur « TX » apparaît sur l’affichage. La radio transmet lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton « PTT » (bouton de microphone). Transmettez TOUJOURS en basse puissance lorsque possible. En plus de préserver la charge de la pile, une faible puissance réduit l’exposition aux RF. Utilisez TOUJOURS des accessoires autorisés Harris (antennes, piles, pinces de ceinture, hautparleurs/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 de votre bouche et légèrement déplacé sur un côté. Tableau 2-1: Distances de test de conformité des expositions aux RF DISTANCES TESTÉES (pire des scénarios) RADIOFRÉQUENCES 700/800 MHz (768.0125 - 775.9875) (798.0125 - 804.9875) (806.0125 - 815.09875) (851.0125 - 860.9875) Corps2 Visage 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.

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. Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée! MISE EN GARDE 2.4.1.1 Entretien Et Remplacement De L’antenne 13 14221-1450-2000 MISE EN GARDE 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.) AVERTISSEMENT 2.4.1.2 Appareils Électroniques 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! AVERTISSEMENT 2.4.1.3 Avion MISE EN GARDE 2.4.1.4 14 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! Détonateurs Électriques MISE EN GARDE 2.4.1.5 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. 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) Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive 14221-1450-2000 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. MISE EN GARDE 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. 15 14221-1450-2000 3.

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. 20 14221-1450-2000 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 21 14221-1450-2000 6.

Press both buttons for 2 seconds. A series of beeps will begin at the start of the 2 second period and then switch to a solid tone after the keys have been zeroed. The display will indicate KEY ZERO. If the cryptographic key(s) are zeroed, one or more keys must be transferred from the Keyloader into the radio before private communications may continue. 7.20.3 Receiving an Encrypted Call When receiving, the radio automatically switches between clear or private operation. If the transmission being received is an encrypted transmission, it will be decrypted, the icon will be displayed, the receiver will unsquelch, and the message will be heard in the speaker. For this to occur, the selected group or channel must be programmed for private operation and the correct cryptographic key must be loaded into the radio. 7.20.4 Transmitting an Encrypted Call 1. Select the desired group or channel. 2. Place the radio in Private Mode by pressing key; then follow the selection mode rules. On a System radio, the key can be used to toggle the Private Mode ON/OFF. When Private Mode is enabled, the icon is displayed. 36 14221-1450-2000 3. If the last state of the radio was Private Mode, the Private Mode will be enabled on power-up. Also, the Private Mode will be enabled if forced operation has been programmed in the radio. If a group or channel is not programmed for Private Mode operation, PVT DIS will be displayed if an attempt is made to enable private transmit mode. It is not possible to operate on this group/channel in Private Mode. If the radio does not have the correct encryption key loaded, NO KEY# will be displayed and the call will not be transmitted. 4. Continue with standard transmission procedures. A Private Mode access tone will be heard when the PTT button is pressed. 7.20.5 Emergencies on Encrypted Group The radio can be programmed to allow emergency calls to be transmitted in the clear when the radio does not have the key, or has an invalid key for the encrypted group in emergency. 7.21 SCAN OPERATION Groups/channels that have been previously added to the scan list on a per system basis may be scanned.

If the radio scans to a group/channel other than the one selected and then receives a call on the selected group, the radio switches to the selected group/channel. 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 displayed on line three. 4. Press to add the group/channel to the scan list. The a second time to set the group to Priority 2. The icon is 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 37 14221-1450-2000 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. NOTE 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 38 14221-1450-2000 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 preprogrammed 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. 39 14221-1450-2000 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. When scan is enabled on a system in a Mixed System Zone, the radio continues to display the zone name or system name per the current radio mode (system/zone). When toggling scan ON/OFF, there is no change one line 1 of the radio display. If it is showing system name, it continues to show system name; if it is showing zone name, it continues to show the zone name during scanning. 7.25 CALLER ID This feature allows you to view the caller ID or alias for up to the last 10 received calls.

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.

NOTE 7.27 INDIVIDUAL CALLS (P25 MODES) 7.27.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it un-mutes on the assigned working channel and displays . The first line on the display shows the logical ID number of the unit sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller un-keys and will continue until the PTT button, the button, or the individual call mode is entered. The volume of the ring is adjustable through the volume control levels. NOTE 42 14221-1450-2000 If a response is made by pressing the PTT to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call will automatically be directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back timeout, the radio will return to normal receive display, and *WHC* will appear on the first line of the LCD. To respond after the call-back time-out, press the key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an individual call back to the original caller. The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and Group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc. Figure 7-10: Calls Received Lists To access the Calls Received List, press the key twice.

To terminate the call, momentarily press the button. 45 14221-1450-2000 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 “overdial” 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: METHOD 2: 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 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 select/entry mode can be re-entered if the call is still active by pressing the 7.29 is pressed.

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: 46 14221-1450-2000 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 preprogrammed 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 preprogrammed 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. 47 14221-1450-2000 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. 48 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 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 Pressing the pre-programmed “no data” (ND) key. Refer to previous bullet. (if pre-programmed as “no data” (ND) key). Alert tone will sound. 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 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 button. to toggle Scan ON or OFF. 49 14221-1450-2000 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. 50 14221-1450-2000 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.

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. 52 14221-1450-2000 8.

American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave. DIRECTIVE 2004/40/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 29 April 2004 on the minimum health and safety requirements regarding the exposure of workers to the risks arising from physical agents (electromagnetic fields) and amended by: Directive 2007/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2007 Directive 2008/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2008 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 IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 4, 2010: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio Standards Specification. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands). 14221-1450-2010 1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines CAUTION 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. Table 1-1: RF Exposure Compliance Tested Distances RADIO FREQUENCY BAND (MHZ) 700/800 MHz (768.0125 - 775.9875) (798.0125 - 804.9875) (806.0125 - 815.09875) (851.0125 - 860.9875) TESTED DISTANCES (worst case scenario) Body Face 1.4 cm (0.55 in) 2.5 cm (0.98 in) This is worst case based on the thinnest body mount accessory (belt clip). 14221-1450-2010 The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of a 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, Harris radios generate RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems.

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. 14221-1450-2010 1.3.1 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. WARNING 1.3.2 Antenna Care and Replacement WARNING WARNING WARNING Always keep the antenna at least 1.6 cm (0.63 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.00 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements 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 supplied or approved antennas. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. 1.3.3 Electronic Devices CAUTION RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. are shielded from RF energy. However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off! 1.3.4 Aircraft Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! WARNING Use it on the ground only with crew permission. DO NOT use while in-flight!! 14221-1450-2010 1.3.5 Electric Blasting Caps WARNING To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the "Turn Off Two-Way Radios" signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA Standard: 1926.900) 1.3.6 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. WARNING 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. 14221-1450-2010 2.
