1. REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION
1.1 SAFETY SYMBOL CONVENTIONS
The following conventions are used in this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of operation, installation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. Harris assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these standards.
The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully understood or met.
The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the equipment or severely degrade equipment performance.
The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve system performance or clarify a process or procedure.
1.2 RF ENERGY EXPOSURE AWARENESS AND CONTROL INFORMATION FOR FCC OCCUPATIONAL USE REQUIREMENTS
Before using the two-way mobile radio, review the following important RF energy awareness and control information and operational instructions. Comply with this information and instructions to ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines.
This radio is intended for use in occupational/controlled conditions, where users have full knowledge of their exposure and can exercise control over their exposure to remain below RF exposure limits. This radio is NOT authorized for general population, consumer, or any other use.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Harris could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
NOTE

This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide communications between two or more users over a distance. It uses RF energy or radio waves to send and receive calls. RF energy is one form of electromagnetic energy. Other forms include, but are not limited to, electric power, sunlight, and x-rays. RF energy, however, should not be confused with these other forms of electromagnetic energy, which, when used improperly, can cause biological damage. Very high levels of x-rays, for example, can damage tissues and genetic material.
Experts in science, engineering, medicine, health, and industry work with organizations to develop standards for exposure to RF energy. These standards provide recommended levels of RF exposure for both workers and the general public. These recommended RF exposure levels include substantial margins of protection. All two-way radios marketed in North America are designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure they meet government-established RF exposure levels. In addition, manufacturers also recommend specific operating instructions to users of two-way radios. These instructions are important because they inform users about RF energy exposure and provide simple procedures on how to control it. Refer to the following websites for more information on what RF energy exposure is and how to control exposure to assure compliance with established RF exposure limits:
http://www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/rf-faqs.html http://www.osha.gov./SLTC/radiofrequencyradiation/index.html
1.2.1 Federal Communications Commission Regulations
Before it was marketed in the United States, the XL Series mobile radio was tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposure limits for two-way mobile radios. When two-way radios are used as a consequence of employment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and able to control their exposure to meet occupational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitated using a label directing users to specific user awareness information. The radio has an RF exposure product label. Also, this manual includes information and operating instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance requirements.
1.3 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS
The XL Series mobile radio is designed and tested to comply with a number of national and international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy. This radio complies with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF exposure environment at duty­cycle times of up to 50% (50% transmit, 50% receive), and it is authorized by the FCC for occupational use. In terms of measuring RF energy for compliance with the FCC exposure guidelines, the radio’s antenna radiates measurable RF energy only while it is transmitting (talking), not when it is receiving (listening), or in a standby mode.
Table 1-1 lists the recommended minimum safe lateral distances for a controlled environment and for unaware bystanders in an uncontrolled environment, from transmitting antennas (i.e., monopoles over a ground plane, or dipoles) at rated radio power for mobile radios installed in a vehicle. Transmit only when unaware bystanders are at least the uncontrolled recommended minimum safe lateral distance away from the transmitting antenna.

The XL Series mobile radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and guidelines:
United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Code of Federal Regulations; 47 CFR § 2
sub-part J.
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE)
C95.1-2005.
Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-2005.
IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 5, 2015: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio Standards
Specification. Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands).
Based on the highest radiated RF power and the highest antenna gain in antennas to be used with the XL Series mobile radio, the distances listed are considered as safe distances for controlled and uncontrolled environments with the XL Series mobile radio transmitting at a maximum 50% duty cycle.
1.3.1 Mobile Antennas
The antenna(s) for the radio must be installed in accordance with the antenna installation procedures presented in the radio’s Installation Manual. Installation guidelines presented in the Installation Manual are limited to metal-body motor vehicles or vehicles with appropriate ground planes.
Use only approved/supplied antenna(s) or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments can cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded.

1.6 COMMON HAZARDS
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions. Possible hazards include but are not limited to the following:
Explosive Atmospheres - Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle while its engine is running, be sure
to turn the radio OFF while fueling the vehicle. If the radio is mounted in the trunk of the vehicle, DO NOT carry containers of fuel in the trunk.
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. Turn the radio OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. It is rare, but not impossible that the radio or its accessories could generate sparks.
Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems - Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-
skid braking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic devices that can malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency (RF) energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is transmitting.
Electric Blasting Caps - To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-
way radios within 1000 feet (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off Two­Way Radios” (or equivalent) signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used. (OSHA
Standard: 1926.900).
Radio Frequency Energy - To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency energy,
do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the vehicle is within the minimum safe distance from the antenna as specified in Table 1-1. Refer to Section 1.2 for additional information.
Vehicles Powered by Liquefied Petroleum (LP) Gas - Radio installation in vehicles powered by
liquefied petroleum gas, where the LP gas container is in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle, must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 58. This requires:
The space containing the radio equipment must be isolated by a seal from the space containing
the LP gas container and its fittings.
Outside filling connections must be used for the LP gas container. The LP gas container space shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle.
Vehicles Equipped with Airbags - For driver and passenger safety, avoid mounting the radio’s control
head (or any other component) above or near airbag deployment areas. In addition to driver-side and passenger-side front-impact airbags, some vehicles may also be equipped with side-impact airbags. For occupant safety, verify the location of all airbags within the vehicle before installing the radio equipment.

1.7 SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS
The American Automobile Association (AAA) advocates the following key safe driving recommendations:
Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone in its hanger whenever the vehicle is in motion.
Place calls only when the vehicle is stopped.
When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower lane. Keep conversations brief.
If a conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the vehicle in a safe place and continue
the call.
Whenever using a mobile radio, exercise caution.
1.8 OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS
Two-way radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the local, regional, or national government.
In the United States, the XL mobile radio must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Operators of two-way radio equipment must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to the particular type of radio operation. Following these rules helps eliminate confusion, assures the most efficient use of the existing radio channels, and results in a smoothly functioning radio network.
When using a two-way radio, remember these rules:
It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. The radio operates in
much the same way as a telephone “party line.” Therefore, always listen to make sure the channel is
clear before transmitting. Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. If someone is sending an emergency message – such as reporting a fire or asking for help in an accident, do not transmit unless assistance can be offered.
The use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law.
It is against the law to send false call letters or false distress or emergency messages. The FCC requires
keeping conversations brief and confined to business. Use coded messages whenever possible to save time.
Using the radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Send
only essential messages.
It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio.
Conversations between others sharing the channel must be regarded as confidential.
The FCC requires self-identification at certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer to the rules
that apply to the particular type of operation for the proper procedure.
No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified
electronics technician.
Page 14
14221-1850-2000
14
Under U.S. law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of the United States may be punishable by a fine of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to two (2) years, or both.
1.9 OPERATING TIPS
The following conditions tend to reduce the effective range of two-way radios and should be avoided whenever possible:
Operating the radio in areas of low terrain, or while under power lines or bridges.
Obstructions such as mountains and buildings.
In areas where transmission or reception is poor, communication improvement may sometimes be obtained by moving a few yards in another direction, or moving to a higher elevation.

Cette radio bidirectionnelle utilise une énergie électromagnétique dans le spectre des radiofréquences (RF) pour permettre une communication à distance entre deux utilisateurs ou plus. Elle utilise l’énergie des RF ou les ondes radio pour envoyer et recevoir des appels. L’énergie des RF est une forme d’énergie
électromagnétique. D’autres formes comprennent, entre autres, l’énergie électrique, la lumière du soleil et les rayons X. Toutefois, l’énergie des RF ne doit pas être confondue avec ces autres formes d’énergie
électromagnétique qui, lorsque mal utilisées, peuvent causer des dommages biologiques. Par exemple, des niveaux très élevés de rayons X peuvent endommager les tissus et le matériel génétique.
Des experts en science, en ingénierie, en médecine, en santé et de l’industrie travaillent avec des organismes
pour établir des normes pour l’exposition à l’énergie des RF. Ces normes procurent des niveaux recommandés d’exposition aux RF autant aux travailleurs qu’au grand public. Ces niveaux d’exposition aux RF recommandés comprennent d’importantes marges de protection. Toutes les radios bidirectionnelles commercialisées en Amérique du Nord sont conçues, fabriquées et testées pour s’assurer qu’elles satisfont les niveaux d’exposition aux RF établis par le gouvernement. Les fabricants recommandent également des consignes d’utilisation particulières aux utilisateurs de radios bidirectionnelles. Ces instructions sont importantes, car elles informent les utilisateurs sur l’exposition à l’énergie des RF et donnent des procédures
simples sur la manière de contrôler cette exposition. Consultez les sites Web suivants (en anglais) pour de
plus amples renseignements sur ce qu’est l’exposition à l’énergie des RF et comment contrôler l’exposition
pour assurer la conformité aux limites d’exposition établies :

4.4 USER LOGIN (VIDA PROVISIONING)
VIDA Provisioning provides the capability to provision the VIDA User Personality configured in the UAS to VIDA units operating on P25 networks via a User Login. Each personality can contain up to 16 profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen Talk Groups.
User Login enables multiple radio users to pick a radio from a fleet pool and enter unique credentials to log into the P25 system as themselves. Upon successful login, the Alias associated with the radio user is displayed at various end points in the P25 system.
A user can login on up to three (3) devices simultaneously. For example, if the “same user” is logged into
a portable radio and mobile radio, the P25 system can differentiate the subscribers while transparently displaying the alias to other users.
Login can be initiated by a menu option, a button programmed for user login, or by selecting a P25 system that requires login. To login manually:
1. From the UTILITY radio menu, select USER LOGIN, or press the button programmed for User
Login.
2. Enter the System ID, User ID, and Password, as required.
3. Select Login.

4.15.2 Using Noise Cancellation
When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:
Verify NOISE CANCELLATION is enabled (see Section 4.15.1).
Talk within two (2) inches of the primary microphone.
Ensure the primary and secondary microphones are not covered. See Section 4.15.4 for more
information on the primary and secondary microphones.
Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.
If necessary, it is o.k. to yell into the radio. The radio can handle loud input levels.
4.15.3 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. Therefore, noise cancellation requires that you hold the radio close.
4.15.4 Primary versus Secondary Microphone
The voice microphone is located on top front face of the mic and the noise microphone is on the lower rear side. Every effort should be made to not obstruct either element during radio transmissions.
4.16 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

If configured, the radio plays the
tone at the selected volume level.
The tone will not play on systems configured with MDC.
Talkaround 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 talkaround 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 “talkaround” grant tone when
a call is placed. The radio does not play a tone when a call is received.
Transmit and Receive: When this option is selected, the radio plays a different “talkaround” 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

4.30 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.
4.30.1 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.
Page 53
14221-1850-2000

4.30.2 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.
4.30.3 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.

5.12 SET UP SCAN
These procedures are used to set up the scan list, home channels, and priority channels. To access the scan lists:
1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the main menu.
2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the SCAN menu.
3. Press the up or down navigation buttons 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.
5.12.1 Default, Priority 1, and Priority 2 Channels
5.12.1.1 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.
5.12.1.2 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.
5.12.1.3 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.
NOTE
Page 66
14221-1850-2000
66
5.12.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning
Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional channels while still maintaining trunked radio operation. The radio can 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 4.7) can 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. 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.
5.12.3 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.
5.12.4 Edit Scan List
Depending on the scan list options selected via RPM2, you may be able to add or remove channels/groups from the scan list.
To edit the scan list:
1. Press the Menu/Select button.
2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the SCAN menu.
3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to select SCAN LISTS.

5.12.6 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 can 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 5.12.2, and will override
any other conventional scan list that may have been programmed using RPM2.
Page 69
14221-1850-2000

7.2 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 7.1.

9.2 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.
- If rekey fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.
