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, Rev. B

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.

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.
This is worst case based on the thinnest body mount accessory (belt clip).
14221-1450-2000, Rev. B
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always
properly charge the battery.
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, Rev. B
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.

2.2.1 Directives sur l’exposition aux RF
AVERTISSEMENT
12
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.

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.
Ce est le pire des cas basée sur le corps plus mince monter accessoire (clip ceinture).
13
14221-1450-2000, Rev. B
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
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

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 the Conventional Analog mode, the user selects a channel and communicates directly on that channel.
A channel is a transmit/receive 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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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.
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
47
14221-1450-2000, Rev. B
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
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.
7.32.1 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.
7.32.2 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:
48
14221-1450-2000, Rev. B

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.
7.32.3 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 7.32.2 section to
reset Type 99 operation.
7.33
AUDIO PLAYBACK
Every call received by the radio is recorded in internal memory, overwriting the last recorded call. When
the PLAYBACK key is pressed, the last recording is replayed and any future recordings are stopped.
Pressing PLAYBACK again repeats the same recorded call. Pressing and holding the PLAYBACK key
until the tone sounds erases the recording and starts the recording of incoming calls again. If a call is
received while the recorded call is playing, the recorded call continues to play, rather than the received
audio. However, if a call is received and the recorded call is played back in close succession received
audio could mute call playback. This feature requires RPM R8A and later, and ECP R15A and later.
The PLAYBACK function must be programmed to a button on the radio via RPM.

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

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.
•
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.

1.3
OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio.
Operating the radio in low lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges,
inside of a vehicle or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range
of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be
obtained by ensuring the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another
direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications.
Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted
antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a
portable radio. Always properly charge the batteries.
1.3.1 Efficient Radio Operation
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a
message.
WARNING
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered
on.
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.
14221-1450-2010, Rev. B
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!!
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.

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
14221-1450-2010, Rev. B
11
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

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.
2.2.2 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.

2.4
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.
14221-1450-2010, Rev. B

2.4.1 Utilisation Efficace de la Radio
Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la
transmission d’un message.
Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée!
MISE EN GARDE
2.4.1.1 Entretien Et Remplacement De L’antenne
MISE EN GARDE
AVERTISSEMENT
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.
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
14
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!

avant
• Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’avec la permission de l’équipage.
MISE EN GARDE
• 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
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.
