1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
The Harris XL-200P/XL-185P 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 t
he hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This
radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled
environment.
The XL-200P/XL-185P 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

1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the EU/AU/FCC/IC
allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may
also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to
Table 4-1.)
• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more
than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
• ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low
power can reduce RF exposure.
• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use
of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance
requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 1-1.)
• As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT LEAST 0.47 inches (1.2
cm) from the body and at least 0.98 in (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure
EU/AU/FCC/IC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the
best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends you hold the
microphone at least 2 in (5 cm) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.
• Refer to Standard EN 62311:2008.

2.2.1 Directives sur l’exposition aux RF
Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les
limites acceptables de la FCC pour l’utilisation professionnelle, respectez toujours les
directives suivantes :
• N’utilisez PAS la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit connectée, car ceci peut endommager la
radio et également causer un dépassement des limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Une antenne
appropriée est celle fournie par Harris avec cette radio, ou une antenne spécifiquement autorisée par
Harris pour être utilisée avec cette radio. (Reportez-vous à Tableau 2-1.)
• Ne transmettez PAS pendant plus de 50 % de la durée d’utilisation totale de la radio (« cycle de
service de 50 % »). La transmission pendant plus de 50 % du temps peut causer un dépassement des
exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. La radio transmet lorsque
l’indicateur « TX » apparaît sur l’affichage. La radio transmet lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton « PTT »
(bouton de microphone).
• Transmettez TOUJOURS en basse puissance lorsque possible. En plus de préserver la charge de la
pile, une faible puissance réduit l’exposition aux RF.
• Utilisez TOUJOURS des accessoires autorisés Harris (antennes, piles, pinces de ceinture, haut-
parleurs/micros, etc.). L’utilisation d’accessoires non autorisés peut entraîner un dépassement des
exigences de conformité pour une exposition aux RF professionnelle ou contrôlée de la FCC.
(Reportez-vous à Table 4-1.)
• Tel qu’indiqué dans Tableau 2-1, conservez TOUJOURS l’appareil et son antenne à AU MOINS
1,2 cm du corps, et à au moins 2,5 cm du visage pendant la transmission, pour vous assurer de ne pas
dépasser les exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. Cependant, pour
offrir la meilleure qualité sonore aux auditeurs de votre transmission, Harris recommande de tenir le
microphone à au moins 5 cm (2 po) de votre bouche et légèrement déplacé sur un côté.

2.4 CONSEILS D’UTILISATION
L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une radio portative. L’utilisation
de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un
véhicule ou dans un immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de manière
considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité.
Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être
obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre
direction ou à un emplacement plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation
d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule.
L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez
toujours correctement la pile.
2.4.1 Utilisation Efficace de la Radio
Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la transmission d’un message.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
20
Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée!
2.4.1.1 Entretien Et Remplacement De L’antenne
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. (Reportez-vous à Table 4-1.)
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!
2.4.1.3 Avion
• 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.

Please charge battery fully before first use. Due to government regulations, batteries
ship in a discharged state and may require up to two (2)
minutes in a charger for
successful initialization. During initialization, the charger will not show any charge
indication. After this initialization period, charging will resume normally.
1. Make sure batteries are charged per the manual supplied with the charger.
2. To attach optional belt clip, remove the existing tab from the back of the radio above the battery
compartment. Slide the belt clip into the groove.

4.4 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 4-5: Universal Device Connector
4.5 CLEANING
Keep the exterior of the radio, battery, antenna, and radio accessories clean.
Periodically clean using the following procedures:
1. To remove dust and dirt, clean using damp clean cloth (warm water and mild detergent soap).
2. Follow by wiping with damp (warm water) clean cloth. Wipe dry with clean cloth.
3. Remove the battery and wipe the battery and radio contacts using a soft dry cloth to remove dirt or
grease. This will ensure efficient power transfer from the battery to the radio.
4. Remove any accessories and clean the UDC contacts using a clean dry cloth. When the UDC is not
in use, cover the connector with the protective dust cap to prevent the build-up of dust or water
particles.
5. If the radio is used in a harsh environment (such as driving rain, salt fog, etc.), it may be necessary to
periodically dry and clean the battery and radio contacts with a soft dry cloth or soft-bristle non-
metallic brush.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F

For more rigorous cleaning, use the following procedure:
Do not use chemical cleaners, spray, or petroleum-based products. They may damage
the radio housing. We recommend using Chemtronics® Electro-Wash® PR (ES-1603) or
equivalent.
1. Apply the cleaning solution to a clean damp cloth and clean the radio.
Do not spray cleaning solution directly on radio. To clean the radio in the speaker and
microphone areas, carefully wipe these areas but prevent the cleaning solution from
entering the speaker or microphone openings.
2. Wipe off the radio with clean damp cloth using mild warm soapy water.
3. Follow up by wiping off the radio with clean damp cloth using warm water only.
4. Wipe dry with clean cloth.

5.11 SELECT ZONE/SYSTEM
A System is a group of channels or talkgroups that share a common set of parameters as programmed
using RPM2. For example, a Trunking system defines the parameters needed to communicate on a
particular infrastructure by agency or geographical region, such as WACN, System ID, Talkgroups, etc. A
conventional system defines the channel set used and any specific signaling attributes (See RPM2 for
more information on System attributes). Systems are designated by the XX icon in the Zone/System
menu.
A Zone is an OPTIONAL container that can hold channels or talkgroups from a variety of systems (see
Section 6.3.2). In other words, each member of a Zone belongs to an underlying system. (See RPM2 for
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F

more information on Zone attributes). Zones are always listed first in the Zone/System menu and are
designated by the icon. A button on the radio can be programmed to scroll through available
zones/systems (see Section 7.4).
Or
To select a zone/system via the menu:
1.
Press the Menu/Select button to access the menus.
2. Use or to display the ZONE menu.
The currently selected
zone/system will be highlighted. A personality can have up to 512 systems
and up to 50 Zones, independent of banks or channels.
3. Use or to highlight the desired zone/system. The and buttons
may be held to scroll repetitively, and the menu will wrap to allow quick
access to a particular zone/system,
4. Press the VIEW ZONE soft key to view channels in the zone/system, or

• Bank B: Channel B1 - B16 (17-32)
• Bank C: Channel C1 - C16 (33-48)
• Bank D: Channel D1 - D16 (49-64)
If your system has more than 64 groups/channels, a button on the radio can be programmed for the SEL
CHAN/GRP option. This allows you to select a “super bank,” providing access to groups/channels
beyond the first 64.
Note that ZONES have a limit of 64 entries per zone and cannot be “superbanked.”
Direct Channel Entry
A button on the radio can be programmed for Direct Channel Entry, which allows the user to enter the
talkgroup/channel number directly from the keypad.
The radio can be programmed for one of the following Direct Channel Entry options:

5.17 NOISE CANCELLATION
The XL-200P features Harris’ proprietary noise suppression capability to provide clear and crisp voice
quality in high-noise environments. This can be used in any mode, including analog and digital
communications.
The XL-200P has three microphones; two located at the top of the radio (primary) and one on the bottom
(secondary). When noise cancellation is enabled, voice is picked up by the upper left microphone, and
noise is picked up from the bottom microphone.
In the case where noise cancellation is enabled and a speaker microphone is attached to the XL-200P, talk
into the speaker microphone. In this mode, XL-200P top left microphone is used to pick up the
surrounding noise, and the other microphones are unused. See Section 5.17.4 for more information. If the
bottom (secondary) microphone is blocked, the XL-200P operates as though noise cancellation is turned
off.
5.17.1 Enable Noise Cancellation
To enable Noise Cancellation:
1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the menu.
2. Press or until the UTILITY menu is displayed.
3. Press or to highlight AUDIO SETTINGS
and press the
Menu/Select button.
4. Press or to highlight NOISE CANCELLATION.
Toggle Noise
Cancellation ENABLED/DISABLED using the Menu/Select button.
Refer to Section 6.5 for more information on the Audio Settings menu.
5.17.2 Using Noise Cancellation
When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:
• Verify NOISE CANCELLATION is enabled (see Section 5.17.1).
• Talk within two (2) inches of the primary microphone (see Figure 5-5).
• Ensure the primary and secondary microphones are not covered. See Section 5.17.4 for more
information on the primary and secondary microphones.
• Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.
• In very noisy environments, it is o.k. to yell into the radio. The radio can handle loud input levels.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
52
Figure 5-5: Using Noise Cancellation
5.17.3 The Effect of Distance from the Microphone
Unlike a normal microphone system, noise cancellation makes the level of your voice diminish quickly as
you move away from the radio. In essence, the radio starts to see your voice as surrounding noise.
Whereas, you may be comfortable speaking up to a foot away under normal operation, noise cancellation
requires that you hold the radio close.
5.17.4 Primary versus Secondary Microphone
5.17.4.1 Without a Speaker Microphone Attached
The primary microphone is located on top of the radio and the secondary is on the bottom of the radio
(refer to Figure 5-1 for microphone locations).
5.17.4.2 With a Speaker Microphone Attached
When a speaker microphone is attached, the radio electronically switches over to use the radio’s top left
microphone as secondary. The microphone on the attached speaker microphone becomes primary.
5.17.5 When using an SCBA Mask
When using an SCBA mask, the primary microphone can be held directly against the voice port. If the
SCBA has a voice amplifier, the same rule applies. Ensure that the secondary microphone is uncovered. If
possible, point the secondary microphone toward the noise source.
5.18 PTT OPTIONS
The radio can be programmed via RPM2 with one of the following PTT options:
• Radio and Accessory - In this mode, when the radio is PTT’d the audio source will correspond with
the PTT source.
If the source of PTT is radio, the audio is routed via the radio microphone.
If the source of PTT is an external microphone accessory, the audio is routed via the external
microphone accessory.
• Accessory Only - Any PTT input will have the audio routed through the external microphone
accessory.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
53
The Bluetooth Speaker Mic is unaffected by this setting. PTTing the Bluetooth Speaker
Mic always results in audio being routed via the Bluetooth Speaker Mic.
5.19 VOICE ANNUNCIATION
When enabled via programming, Voice Annunciation provides audible feedback for various radio
operations. The radio can be programmed to play an audio message for any or all of the following. This
message can be a pre-recorded (canned) message or a user-recorded message.
• Zone changes
• Channel changes
• System changes
• Encryption On/Off
• Noise Cancellation On/Off
• Scan On/Off
• Talkaround On/Off
• Monitor Mode On/Off
• 2 or 4 Position switch change
For more information on configuring the radio for Voice Annunciation, refer to the Voice Annunciation
Feature manual 14221-7200-6110.
5.20 ENABLE/DISABLE ENCRYPTION

menu. Power
cycling the radio does not disable talkaround.
Or
A button or switch can be programmed to toggle talkaround enable/disabled. See Section 7.4 for the
various options that can be programmed to the radio buttons and switches.
If the Talk-Around Indication feature is enabled using RPM2, the radio will play a unique grant tone
when a call is placed on a simplex channel or when Talk-Around has been enabled on a duplex
channel. This feature applies to both Analog and P25 Conventional systems. It optionally allows the
radio to also play the same tone when it receives a call while operating in simplex or Talk-Around. If
configured, the radio plays the tone at the selected volume level.
The tone will not play on systems configured with MDC.
Talk-Around Indication can be specified for each individual Analog and P25 Conventional system
configured in personality. The following options can be selected, and apply only when the radio is on a
simplex channel or when Talk-Around has been enabled by the user:
• Disabled: (This is the default option.) When this option is selected, the radio plays the standard grant
tone when a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received.
NOTE
NOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
56
• Transmit Only: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “Talk-Around” grant tone
when a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received.
• Transmit & Receive: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “Talk-Around” grant
tone when a call is placed, and at the beginning of a received call.
In the radio personality, the “Alert Tone” parameter needs to be enabled for each
channel on the Conventional Frequency Set. The “Ready To Talk Tone” parameter
must also be enabled for the Talk Around Indication tone to be played when the radio
is keyed.
5.24 TYPE 99 OPERATION
Type 99 is Harris' name for in-band, two-tone sequential signaling. It is a conventional signaling protocol
used to control the muting and unmuting of a radio. This signaling is commonly used for selective calling
of individual units or groups of units in a conventional system.
In Type 99 tone systems, calls are not heard until the radio detects the proper two-tone sequence. This, in
conjunction with squelch, prevents the user from hearing noise or undesired conversations. When the
radio detects the second tone, it sounds the appropriate Type 99 alert tone. After the second tone stops,
the receiver audio path is opened in order for the user to receive messages.
5.24.1 Enable/Disable Type 99
To enable Type 99:
1. Press Menu/Select button to access the main menu.
2. Press or to display the CALL menu.
3. Press or to highlight T99 TOGGLE.
4. Press the Menu/Select button to change T99 TOGGLE between ENABLED and DISABLED. T99
is displayed in the top of the radio display when Type 99 is enabled.
Or
A button or switch can be programmed to enable/disable Type 99 (see Section 7.4).
5.24.2 Disable After PTT
If this option is programmed using RPM2, Type 99 is disabled after the radio user activates the PTT. This
allows the radio user to monitor traffic on the channel (after a PTT action) without pressing the monitor
button.
Can be used in conjunction with the “Auto Reset” option (see Section 5.24.3) to disable Type 99 after a
PTT and automatically reset, or enable, Type 99 after 30 seconds.
5.24.3 Auto Reset
If this option is programmed using RPM2, Type 99 is automatically reset, or turned back on, after 30
seconds. Can be used in conjunction with the “Disable After PTT” option (see Section 5.24.2) to disable
Type 99 after a PTT and automatically reset, or enable, Type 99 after 30 seconds.

5.32 CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT (EDACS ONLY)
In the unlikely event of an EDACS system failure, communications can take place in Conventional
Failsoft mode. The radio is automatically directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose.
An increase in activity on the channel during Conventional Failsoft operation may be noticed, so be
careful not to transmit until the channel is clear.
Operation during Conventional Failsoft is the same as operation on a conventional system, except that it
is not possible to select a communications channel, or use emergency and special call. When trunking is
restored, the radio automatically returns to normal operation.
Emergency and special calls are not operational during Conventional Failsoft.
5.33 EMERGENCY OPERATION
The XL-200P can be programmed to enable emergency mode. Unit name displays on dispatcher console
if an emergency signal is received from another XL-200P on a digital channel.
5.33.1 Declaring an Emergency Call
To declare an emergency:
1. Press
and hold the emergency button on the radio or the speaker
microphone.
The length of time you need to hold the button is configured
using RPM2.
2. The emergency icon is displayed on the idle display.
• For digital channels, the radio transmits the talkgroup or radio ID to the dispatch console and
receiving radio.
• The radio can be programmed to have a dedicated emergency channel, which can be activated
from analog or digital channels.
•
The radio can also be programmed to send an Emergency Alarm in addition to or in place of the
emergency call (P25 modes).
The radio goes through transmit and receive cycles if so configured. Speak into the microphone while
the radio is transmitting or press PTT to talk.
3. To exit emergency, power cycle the radio or select EXIT EMERGENCY
from the CALL menu.
If enabled via programming, you can clear an emergency by pressing the
button programmed for the
Monitor/Clear function and then the emergency
button.
5.33.2 Receiving an Emergency Call
When receiving an Emergency Call, an alert beep sounds (if tones are enabled) and an emergency
indication is displayed. The unit ID and/or unit name of the unit in emergency is displayed. While the
emergency display is active, press PTT to respond to the emergency caller.
NOTE

5.33.3 Stealth Emergency
The radio can be programmed with the following emergency behavior:
• No audio indications when declaring an emergency.
Or
• No visual indications when declaring an emergency.
Or
• No audio and no visual indications when declaring an emergency.
During stealth mode, the radio will not receive any type of call. Once the user presses the PTT button, the
radio display and audio return to normal.
5.34 MDC-1200 (ANALOG CONVENTIONAL ONLY)
MDC-1200 is a legacy in-band signaling protocol that provides the radio with the ability to transmit and
receive a unique PTT ID. This PTT ID can be decoded by receiving radios and displayed as a
hexadecimal number or an alias string. In addition, MDC-1200 provides radios with the ability to transmit
emergency status to a console. Refer to the MDC-1200 Feature Manual, 14221-7200-6000, for complete
instructions on configuring and using this feature.
5.34.1 Normal PTT Operation
If MDC signaling on PTT press is enabled using RPM2, the radio transmits an MDC PTT ID message
when PTT is pressed. If the Sidetone option is enabled using RPM2, the radio plays a Ready-to-Talk
(RTT) tone after the MDC pre-signaling has been transmitted.
If MDC signaling on PTT release is enabled (using RPM2), the radio transmits post-call MDC signaling
when PTT is released.
• IF STE is enabled (using RPM2), the MDC post-call signaling is transmitted after STE is sent on PTT
release only.
• MDC post-call signaling is also sent when there is a radio unkey due to Carrier Control Timeout
(CCT). Normal CCT alert tones occur prior to unkey.
5.34.2 MDC PTT ID Receive Handling
When the radio receives an MDC PTT ID, it searches the MDC ID Alias List for an alias associated with
the ID. If one is found, it displays the alias. If none is found, the radio displays the ID in hexadecimal.
5.34.3 Emergency Declaration
Emergency declaration is accomplished by the radio generating an MDC Emergency PTT message. An
Emergency is considered acknowledged when the radio receives an “Ack To Emergency” PTT message
with an ID which matches its own ID. If Emergency Audio is enabled and the PTT Sidetone option is
enabled, the radio plays the Ready-to-Talk tone after the MDC Emergency PTT signaling is transmitted.
• If an MDC Alert on ACK is enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone when the MDC emergency is
acknowledged.
• If audio tones are enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone if the emergency is not acknowledged within
the programmed number of retries.

5.35 BEON OPERATION
The BeOn solution is a Voice over IP (VoIP) based, Push-to-Talk (PTT) communications system
operating over public or private wireless networks. The solution extends traditional Land Mobile Radio
(LMR) services onto the broadband capable third generation (3G) and 4G/LTE cellular networks. This
includes the ability to provide highly integrated interoperability services between BeOn users on the
cellular network and users of traditional LMR networks. Harris’ VIDA® IP core network switching
technology is the foundation for the BeOn application infrastructure. As a result, the application and
product suite provide many advanced features not found in competing technologies, and provide
internetworking of those services between public and private communications networks.
The XL-200P supports BeOn operation on Wi-Fi or LTE.

3. Press or to highlight SCAN LISTS
and press the Menu/Select button.
Refer to the following sections.
When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique.
6.14.1 Default, Priority 1, and Priority 2 Channels
6.14.1.1 Default Channel
This is the currently selected channel and is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT
while the radio is actively scanning and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the
radio just received while scanning is called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 using RPM2, the radio
always transmits on the default channel in scan.
6.14.1.2 Priority 1 Channel
This channel will be scanned more often than other channels in the list and will be scanned in between
every other channel in the scan list. An example scan sequence would be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1,
C4, etc. In addition, the priority channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority
channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio will
drop C3 and switch to P1.
NOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
78
6.14.1.3 Priority 2 Channel
This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2,
P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. In addition, this channel will be scanned even
while actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3
and activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can
also preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.
6.14.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning
Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional
channels while still maintaining trunked radio operation. In essence, the radio is able to scan a
conventional scan list while still receiving a trunked control channel and receiving trunked
calls. Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done using
RPM2 and cannot be changed on the radio. However, a user with access to the necessary menu layout
(see Section 5.8) is allowed to edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and conventional channels
on the selected Conventional Priority System). As the number of conventional channels being scanned
increases, the time between scanning each channel increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with
the consequent increase in the number of calls that will late-enter. In order to avoid missing calls, it is
recommended to keep the number of conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer.
The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC.
6.14.3 Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only)
If vote scan is enabled via RPM2, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the
best audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always scanning. You
cannot stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. The scanning icon on the idle screen
indicates that the radio is vote scanning versus, regular scanning.
If Talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is disabled until Talkaround is disabled again.

7. Select REMOVE PRI to remove priority.
6.14.6 Custom Scan Lists
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 Trunked, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is
assigned to a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When assigned to 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,

7.3 OTAP
The XL-200P supports Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) via ProFile Manager. RPM2 creates,
modifies and stores personality information while ProFile Manager delivers the personality over the
network to the desired radios. ProFile Manager also contains the ability to read personality information
over-the-air and save the files, so that RPM2 can modify the information if necessary.
You can interrupt the programming process, if necessary, by depressing the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button or
declaring an emergency. Once a radio personality update is successfully completed, the radio
automatically resets itself, switches to the new personality, and returns to normal operation. For more
information on using ProFile Manager, refer to software release notes AE/LZT 123 3263/1.

7.4.3.2 Indexed Features
These features can be assigned to any number of positions as long as each index value selected for it is
unique across multiple assignments of the same feature; for example, you cannot assign a Zone with a
particular index (e.g., “ZONE A”) to both positions A and B.
Table 7-5: Indexed Features
FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Zone Selection
Sets to the Zone index value.
• When setting the A/B/C/D switch to an indexed zone assigned position, the radio sets,
but does not “hold,” that zone. This has the resulting effects:
This sets the channel knob to be zone-based system/channel selection just like
selecting a zone from the main “Zone” menu or ramping up/down using the side
user-programmable buttons.
If a user then changes to a different system or zone via another method (menu,
button, etc.), it will override the Zone selection switch setting accordingly and not
require it to remain in the zone where the switch assignment is set.
• When changing away from a Zone assigned position, no actions/changes will be taken
by the radio.
System Selection
Sets to the System index value.
• When setting the A/B/C/D switch to an indexed System assigned position, the radio
sets, but does not “hold,” that System. This has the resulting effects:
This sets the channel knob to be system-based channel selection, just like
selecting a system from the main “Zone” menu or ramping up/down using the side
user-programmable buttons.
If a user then changes to a different system or zone via another method (menu,
button, etc.), it will override the System selection switch setting accordingly and not
require it to remain in the system where the switch assignment is set.
• When changing away from a System assigned position, no actions/changes will be
taken by the radio.

8.2 NARROWBANDING
The FCC has mandated that all public safety radios manufactured after January 1, 2013 comply with
narrowbanding restrictions. Radios manufactured after the above date will comply with these restrictions.
Existing radio personalities that contain frequencies that violate these FCC rules will cause an invalid
channel error indication on the radio display. The user will need to change the radio personality to comply
with the new rules. Note that there are multiple exceptions to the narrowbanding mandate, including the
Marine Frequencies listed in Section 8.1.

10. BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING
When upgrading from XLP R1A/C to R1D/E, the radio displays . XLP R1D installs an image that is
capable of installing future software releases and is required prior to upgrading to R2. Do not power
cycle when this screen is displayed on the radio or R1D will have to be reinstalled prior to
upgrading to R2.
When installing XLP R2A and later, if the upgrade is interrupted by a power cycle, the radio displays .
This indicates a partial install occurred and a reinstall is required. The radio should be connected via USB
and the software should be installed again.
For radios with XLP R3A and later, if is displayed, the radio has lost its factory information and needs
to be returned for updating.

10.2 OTAR ERRORS/INFORMATION
WORKAROUNDS:
1. Zeroize.
2. Load proper KEK from the Harris Key Loader or Motorola KVL.
IF RADIO INDICATES:
1. INVALID KEYSTORE ZEROIZE NEEDED - This occurs if the radio’s keys were loaded by the
Harris Key Loader followed by an attempt to load UKEKs with the Key Loader or keys with the
Motorola KVL.
- Fix by performing workaround 1, followed by 2.
2. NO UKEK – Displayed during a zeroize performed from the radio or a zeroize initiated from the
KMF.
- Fix by performing workaround 2.
3. Zeroize Complete – KMF has zeroized the radio.
- Fix by performing workaround 2.
4. Disabled OTAR Icon (red slash) – OTAR is disabled while in scan, talkaround, emergency, and
monitor.
- Fix by disabling these features. Icon will be corrected (no red slash).
5. Gray OTAR Icon (no red slash) – OTAR has not registered with tower (Conventional or Trunked
system).
- Fix by verifying proper frequencies.
- If the radio is turned to the OTAR channel out of range of a conventional tower, and then comes
in range after 3 minutes, fix by issuing an OTAR. Rekey, leaving and re-enter the OTAR channel.
6. Green OTAR Icon – OTAR is registered, all is well.
- If update fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.
7. Blue OTAR Icon – OTAR is attempting to rekey.

APPENDIX A WI-FI PROGRAMMING
Due to numerous issues with discovering and programming radios connected to
Enterprise Wireless networks, it is strongly
suggested that a single Access Point
Wireless network be used for programming radios with RPM2. See Section A.7 for
more information.
These instructions assume the user has a basic familiarity with Wireless (Wi-Fi)
networks, their configuration, and how to connect devices. If you are unfamiliar with the
terms and/or procedures mentioned in these instructions, please contact your IT
department for help before attempting to configure Wi-Fi programming.
For XL-200P radios to be discoverable on the Wi-Fi network, your wireless router must
be configured to allow Multicast (mDNS). This varies by router manufacturer; refer to
your router’s documentation for specific settings needed to enable Multicast (mDNS).
A.1 OVERVIEW
Perform the following to program an XL-200P over Wi-Fi. For first time setup, see Section A.8.1.
1. Configure the Access Point (Section A.2).
2. Configure the personality (Section A.3).
3. Configure the RPM2 application (Section A.4).
4. Put the radio in Wi-Fi Programming Mode (Section A.5).
5. Discovery and programming in the RPM2 application (Section A.6).
6. Support for Enterprise Wireless Networks (Section A.7).
7. Helpful Hints (Section A.8).

A.2 CONFIGURE THE ACCESS POINT
• Setup an Access Point (wireless router) as follows. The bold values provided below are the default
values in the personality.
Wireless Networking Name (SSID): harrisradios
Shared Key (Network Password): password
Wireless Authentication/Security Mode (Encryption Type): WPA
WPA and WPA2-PSK are the available Encryption Types in the RPM2 application
• Ensure that the Access Point has Multicast (mDNS) enabled. See the second note at the top of
Appendix A for more information. The following are examples of how to allow Multicast (mDNS)
message to be relayed and not filtered out on two different routers.
In the Buffalo Router (AC 1750), it is located in Advanced settings Wireless Multicast
Control. Check the Enable checkbox beside “Snooping.”
In the Linksys router (WRT54GS), it is located under the Security tab. Uncheck “Filter
Multicast” to prevent the Multicast (mDNS) messages from being filtered out.
A.3 CONFIGURE THE PERSONALITY
For a radio to be programmed over Wi-Fi, the active personality on the radio must be configured for
connecting with the values that were set in Section A.2. The following steps detail how to configure an
existing XL-200P personality.
1. In the personality, navigate to Options Network Configuration.
Figure A-1: Options Network Configuration
2. Under the Wi-Fi Configuration section, set the Encryption Type, Network (SSID), and Network
Password.
Figure A-2: Wi-Fi Configuration
3. Under Network Service Configuration, the default values can remain the same. If the wireless
network is managed by another department, please coordinate with them to get it setup correctly.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
111
The Network Discovery Configuration Service Name is a Unique name used by RPM2 and
radios to communicate with each other. There is more information about this in Section A.8.2.
Figure A-3: Service Name
4. After the personality is configured and saved, write it to the radio over USB and then activate it.
A.4 CONFIGURE THE RPM2 APPLICATION
To ensure that RPM2 can discover radios over Wi-Fi, ensure that the Enable Wi-Fi checkbox is checked
on the RPM2 Preferences screen as shown in Figure A-4. This checkbox is unchecked by default.
Figure A-4: Enable Wi-Fi in RPM2
Also as shown in Figure A-4, the Service Name must be updated to reference the value in the active
personalities for the radios you need to discover. See #3 in Section A.3 and Section A.8.2 for more
information.
For default operation using the network as described in Section A.2, no other configuration of the radio or
RPM2 is required.

A.5 PUT THE RADIO IN WI-FI PROGRAMMING MODE
To put the radio in Wi-Fi programming mode:
1. Turn the radio off and remove the USB cable (optional).
2. Press and hold the bottom side and PTT buttons.
3. Power on the radio while continuing to hold the buttons.
4. Release the buttons when the WIFI INSTALL ACTIVE screen appears on the radio.
5. Initially, the radio displays DISCONNECTED. When the IP address is displayed, the radio is
available to be programmed.

A.6 DISCOVERY AND PROGRAMMING IN THE RPM2 APPLICATION
1. Start RPM2.
2. Disconnect the radio from the programming cable.
3. Select the Radio tab (Figure A-6) and click the Wi-Fi connection button as shown in Figure A-6.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
113
Figure A-6: RPM2 Radio Tab: Wi-Fi
4. When the Wi-Fi connection button is pressed, a “Discovering Wi-Fi Radios” message is displayed for
several seconds and the radios connected to that access point with that Service Name populate the
connection list.
To connect over Wi-Fi, the currently active personality
MUST have the correct
Wi-
Fi parameters. Therefore, care must be taken that all personalities on a given
radio have the correct Wi-
Fi parameters for the desired network. Otherwise,
activation of another personality on the radio will result in the inability to establish a
Wi-Fi connection.
5. Select a radio or radios and perform the desired action. Only Read Personality, Write Personality,
and Load Code are supported over Wi-Fi for the XL-200P. See the table below for the supported
combinations.

If the Access Point is not configured to the default values from Section A.2 and the active
personality in the radio is removed, the radio loses connection to the Access Point and must
be connected over USB to write/activate a personality to reconnect to the Access Point.
A.7 RPM2 WI-FI SUPPORT FOR ENTERPRISE NETWORKS.
Enterprise Networks have certain limitations when it comes to Discovering/Programming Radios in
RPM2. There is a 4500 second (75 minute) caching affect inherent to implementation with the Cisco®
Wi-Fi solution that utilizes the Access Point (AP)/Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) components. Radios
remain ‘seen’ in RPM2 even after the radio leaves Wi-Fi or is turned off. It is cached in RPM2 for the
4500 second time period. This issue has only been observed with the Cisco AP and WLC solution,
however other enterprise wireless solutions may observe this caching affect. Operation with a lower
tiered Wi-Fi router that does not operate with a WLC will likely not observe this behavior.
Please see Release Notes for Media Kit SK-019007-001 version R7A06 for more information.
A.8 HELPFUL HINTS
A.8.1 Initial Setup and Configuration
Since radio discovery is dependent on whether or not Multicast (mDNS) messages are being received by
RPM2, it is best to keep things as simple as possible. Here are the suggested steps if this is being setup
and configured for the first time.
1. Configure the Access Point with the default personality values provided in Section A.2.
2. Create a basic personality with a single system, set and channel, write it to the radio and activate it
over USB.
3. Complete Sections A.4 through A.6.
If the radio was not discovered in RPM2 but an IP address is displayed on the radio screen as seen in
Figure A-5, this may mean that the Multicast (mDNS) messages are not making it through the Access
Point. Consult the Access Point’s manual and make sure that those messages are not being filtered out.
A.8.2 Grouping Radios by Service Name
One benefit of using a unique Service Name is that it allows the user to create logical groupings of radios
in order to reduce the number of radios discovered in RPM2 and help reduce the overhead of keeping
track of which radios have been configured.
For example, if there are 100 radios in Wi-Fi programming mode (see Section A.5) with the
same Service Name, all 100 radios are displayed in the Radio tab after discovery has been
completed. This makes it difficult to select and program multiple radios simultaneously.
However, if the Service Name in the active personality on 16 of the radios are set to something
unique like “fire1” and the RPM2 application Service Name (see Section A.4) is also updated to
“fire1,” only those radios with a Service Name of “fire1” are discovered and displayed in the
Radio tab.
