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 i nches (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.

AVERTISSEMENT

2.2.1 Directives sur l’exposition aux RF

Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électr omagnétique 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’UTILIS ATION

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.

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 non­metallic brush.

CAUTION
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
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,

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 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 butt on.
Refer to Section 6.5 for more information on the Audio Settings menu.
48
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F

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. 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 S peaker Microphone Attached
The primary microphone is located on top of the radio and the secondary is on the bottom of the radi o
(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.
49
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
NOTE

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 of the following. This message can be a pre-recorded (canned) message or a user-recorded message.

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

5.30 MONITOR AND SQUELCH TYPES (CONVENTIONAL ONLY)

The monitor function allows you to temporarily turn off selected squelch to monitor for traffic that may not normally break squelch. The type of squelch used depends on an analog or digital channel. A button or switch on the radio can be programmed to start or stop Monitor (see Section 7.4 for the various options that can be programmed to the radio buttons and switches.).
For analog channels, there is:
Noise squelch - any received signal breaks squelch.
Continuous Tone Coded Squelch (CTCSS) - squelch is selective based on tone code.
Continuous Digital Coded Squelch (CDCSS) - squelch is selective based on digital code.
For digital channels, there is:
Monitor squelch - any received digital signal breaks squelch.
Normal squelch - Received Network Access Code (NAC) must be correct to break squelch.
Selective squelch - Received NAC and talkgroup Identification (ID) or unit ID must be correct to
break squelch.
During encrypted operations, the radio only unmutes when receiving with the same key.

5.32 CONVENTION AL 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.
61
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F

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.
T he radio can be programmed to have a dedicated emergency channel, which can be activated
from analog or digital channels.
T he 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.
62
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F

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, t he radio plays a Ready-to-Talk
(RTT) tone after the MD C p re-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.

NOTE
NOTE
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 ra dio always transmits on the default channel in scan.
6.14.1.2 Priori ty 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.
6.14.1.3 Priori ty 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 receivin g on a non-pri ority cha nnel. For e xample, if the radio i s activel y receivin g 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.
78
14221-1800-2000, Rev. F
NOTE

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 dis ab le d un t il Talkaround is disabled again.

6.14.4 Edit Scan List

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, 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. If P25C and/or analog channels are added to the custom scan list, the radio will scan them using the Trunked/Conventional scan feature described in section 6.14.2, and will override any other conventional scan list that may have been programmed using RPM2.
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.
Custom scan list can be created using RPM or at the radio. The radio supports up to 10 Custom Scan lists, with up to 100 channels/groups in each.

7.3 OTAP

The radio supports Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) via ProFile Manager. RPM2 cr eates, 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) but to n 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.
