WARNING
The Harris XG-25P 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.
CAUTION
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable
limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:
2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION
The XG-25P 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.
2.1 RF EXPOSURE 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 7-1.)
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 2-1.)

WARNING
Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!
WARNING
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.
CAUTION
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 7-1.)
CAUTION
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!
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 that the
antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also
improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted
antenna.
Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always
properly charge the battery.
3.1 EFFICIENT RADIO OPERATION
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.
Do not hold the antenna when receiving a message and, especially, do not hold when transmitting a
message.

WARNING
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!!
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)
WARNING
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly
marked. These may be fuelling areas, such as gas stations, fuel or chemical transfer
or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as
grain, dust, or metal powders.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death.
Turn off two-way radios when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It
is rare, but not impossible that a radio or its accessories could generate sparks.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. D
WARNING
Do not disassemble or modify Lithium battery packs. Lithium battery packs are
equipped with built-in safety and protection features. Should these features be
disabled or tampered with in any way, the battery pack can leak electrolyte,
overheat, emit smoke, burst, and/or ignite.
WARNING
If the battery is ruptured or is leaking electrolyte that results in skin or eye contact
with the electrolyte, immediately flush the affected area with water. If the battery
electrolyte gets in the eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and consult a physician
immediately.
CAUTION
Failure to properly condition NiMH battery packs before initial use will result in
shortened performance by the battery.
CAUTION
Always use Harris authorized chargers and conditioners. Use of unauthorized chargers
and conditioners may void the warranty.
5 BATTERIES
The XG-25P series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium
Polymer (Li-Poly), or Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Please read the battery information provided
carefully to maximize the useful life of each type of battery.
5.1 CONDITIONING BATTERY PACKS
5.1.1 Conditioning NiMH Battery Packs
Condition a new NiMH battery before putting into use. This also applies to rechargeable NiMH batteries
that have been stored for long periods (weeks, months, or longer). Conditioning requires fully charging
and fully discharging the battery three (3) times using the tri-chemistry charger. The first time the battery
is put into the charger, this unit will condition Nickel-based battery packs by automatically charging and
discharging (cycling) the battery. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for details.
5.1.2 Additional Information
For more information regarding the proper care of portable radio batteries or establishing a battery
maintenance program, refer to ECR-7367. To order, call toll free at 1-800-368-3277, then select option 7.
12
14221-1500-2000, Rev. D
CAUTION
Although the XG-25P has been designed to tolerate changing the battery pack without
turning power off, Harris recommends turning the radio off before changing battery packs
to ensure safety and best operation.
5.2 CHARGING BATTERY PACKS
Battery chargers are available from Harris with nominal charge times. Combinations include single and
multi-position charge units.
Harris chargers are specifically designed for charging nickel-based and lithium battery packs. The
chargers are chemistry-specific for the battery packs and automatically adjust the charging profiles
accordingly. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for specific operating instructions.
Observe the following guidelines when charging a battery pack:
Avoid high temperature during charging.
Discontinue use if the charger is overheating.
Only charge Harris battery packs using a charger approved for use by Harris.
Do not leave batteries in the charger indefinitely. For best results, leave the battery in the charger for
two to six hours after the Green Ready LED comes on. Then place the battery pack into service and
fully discharge (as indicated by the radio low battery warning) before re-charging.
If any faults are encountered while charging the battery pack, consult the charger’s manual to determine
the cause and possible corrective action.
5.3 BATTERY PACK USAGE
NiMH, Lithium Ion, and Lithium Polymer batteries vary in capacity and life cycle. NiMH, Lithium-Ion,
and Lithium Polymer type batteries require basic usage guidelines be followed in order to optimize the
battery runtime or shift life.
The following guidelines will help optimize the battery runtime or shift life:
Ensure NiMH battery packs are fully discharged (as indicated by the radio low battery warning)
before re-charging. Full discharge is not required for Lithium-Ion or Lithium Polymer battery packs.
Periodically condition NiMH battery packs. The frequency should be determined based on usage
patterns (refer to ECR-7367). If the battery is fully discharged (to radio Low Battery warning) during
routine use, the frequency of conditioning may be reduced. Lithium-Ion and Lithium Polymer
batteries do not suffer from memory-effect and therefore do not require conditioning.
Do not leave any Harris rechargeable batteries in a charger for more than a few days.
