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.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 17 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.

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.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 19 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. • NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol! 2.4.1.4 Détonateurs Électriques 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.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 29 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. G 30 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. 4.6 OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES Only use Harris approved accessories. Refer to Harris’ Product and Services catalog for the complete list of options and accessories available.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 46 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 an 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 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 the left or right navigation buttons 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 the up or down navigation buttons 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 zone/system, 4. Press the VIEW ZONE soft key to view channels in the zone/system, or select the desired zone/system using the Menu/Select button.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 47 5.12 SELECT GROUP/CHANNEL AND BANK The radio can be programmed with 1,250 talkgroups or 1000 channels per personality. Use the Group/Channel knob to select groups/channels 1 - 16. Use the A/B/C/D switch to set the bank. The selected bank is indicated on the display. • Bank A: Channel A1 - A16 (1-16) • 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: • When a Zone is selected on the radio, Direct Channel Entry performs a lookup using the currently selected system’s group list Or • When a Zone is selected on the radio, Direct Channel Entry performs a lookup using the currently selected Zone’s system/group list. 5.13 LOCK/UNLOCK KEYPAD There are two levels of keypad lock available. Keypad lock and Radio lock. Keypad lock only locks the navigation keys (except for use in unlock), programmable softkeys, and DTMF keypad. Radio lock disables all physical keys and knobs except: • The 4-position switch • PTT • Emergency Button • Any User Programmable Button (UPB) programmed for Monitor/Clear. (This is required to allow Monitor/Clear to function for 2-button emergency clear.) The A/B switch, ABCD switch, or a button on the radio can be programmed to lock the keypad/radio. If the keypad was locked via a switch, moving the switch to another position will unlock the keypad. If locked via a button, the navigation keys must be used to enter the unlock sequence of Left, Right, Up Down.

A profile change persists across system/channel changes and power cycles. A button on the radio keypad can be used to toggle profiles. See Section 7.4.1. 5.17 NOISE CANCELLATION The XL-Portable 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 radio 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 radio, talk into the speaker microphone. In this mode, the radio’s 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 radio 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 the left or right navigation buttons until the UTILITY menu is displayed. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight AUDIO SETTINGS and press the Menu/Select button. 4. Press the up or down navigation buttons 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. NOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 52 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. 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. 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.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 53 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. 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 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.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 56 5.23 USE TALKAROUND TO BYPASS REPEATER (ANALOG AND P25 CONVENTIONAL ONLY) You can bypass the repeater system to communicate directly with other radios on your current channel’s receive frequency. This is useful if you are out of range of a repeater or if a repeater is busy. You will need to be in range of the other radio. In XLP R4A and later, talkaround can be enabled/disabled on a per-channel basis. When T/A is disabled, the icon is shown on the front and top display. If Talkaround is disabled for a channel (via the RPM2 personality), and the user tries to enable Talkaround via the menus or knobs while on that channel, the radio emits a “boop” deny tone. Additionally, if T/A is disabled on a channel, the Talkaround programmable button becomes inoperable and the radio boops. To enable talkaround: 1. Press Menu/Select button to access the main menu. 2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the CALL menu. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight TALKAROUND MODE. 4. Press the Menu/Select button to toggle TALKAROUND MODE to ENABLED. 5. The optional Talkaround icon appears. Calls are now made on the receive frequency until you disable talkaround mode via the CALL 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. NOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 57 The tone will not play on systems configured with MDC. Talk-Around Indication can be specified for each individual Analog and P25 Conventional system configured in personality. The following options can be selected, and apply only when the radio is on a simplex channel or when Talk-Around has been enabled by the user: • Disabled: (This is the default option.) When this option is selected, the radio plays the standard grant tone when a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received. • Transmit Only: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “Talk-Around” grant tone when a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received. • Transmit & Receive: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “Talk-Around” grant tone when a call is placed, and at the beginning of a received call. In the radio personality, the “Alert Tone” parameter needs to be enabled for each channel on the Conventional Frequency Set. The “Ready to Talk Tone” parameter must also be enabled for the Talk Around Indication tone to be played when the radio is keyed. 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 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 the left or right navigation buttons to display the CALL menu. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons 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.

Press the OPTIONS soft key. 7. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight NUISANCE and press the Menu/Select button. 8. The icon appears next to the channel and it will not be scanned. NOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 64 9. Highlight the channel, press the OPTIONS soft key, and select ADD BACK to add channel back to scan list. If you do not add the channel back to the list, the channel will return to the scan list when you cycle radio power or activate a personality. 10. Press the BACK soft key to exit the channel list. 11. Press the BACK soft key to exit the scan list display. 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. NOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 65 5.33 EMERGENCY OPERATION The radio can be programmed to enable emergency mode. Unit name displays on dispatcher console if an emergency signal is received from another radio 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). • If enabled via programming, the declaring radio sounds a recurring tone until the battery drains or the radio is powered off. Alert tone continues to play even after clearing the emergency. This tone stops during PTT and resumes when PTT is released. This tone is played at max volume and cannot be controlled with the volume knob. 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.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 66 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.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 67 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. Thus, 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-Portable supports BeOn operation on Wi-Fi or LTE.
