This two-way radio uses electromagnetic energy in the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to provide
communications between two or more users ov er a distan ce. It u ses RF en ergy or radio waves to sen d and
receive calls. RF energy is one form of electro magnetic 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 biol ogical 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

1.4.1 Federal Communications Commission Regulations

Before it was marketed in the United States, the XG-75M/M7300 series two-way mobile radios were
tested to ensure compliance with FCC RF energy exposu re limits for two-way mobile rad ios. When two­way radios are used as a consequence of employ ment, the FCC requires users to be fully aware of and
able to control their exposure to meet occup ational requirements. Exposure awareness can be facilitate d
by the use of a label directing users to speci fic user a wareness inf ormation. The radio h as an RF expo sure
product label. Also, this Product Safety Manual and the applicable Operator’s Manual include
information and operating instructions required to control RF exposure and to satisfy compliance
requirements.

1.5 COMPLIANCE WITH RF EXPOSURE STANDARDS

The XG-75M/M7300 series t wo-way mobile radios are designed and tested to comply with a number of
national and international standards and guidelines regarding human exposure to RF electromagnetic
energy. The radios comply with the IEEE and ICNIRP exposure limits for occupational/controlled RF
exposure environment at duty-cycle 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, each radio’s antenna radiates measurabl e RF energy only while it is transmitting (talking), not
when it is receiving (listening), or in a standby mode.

The XG-75M/M7300 series two-way mobile radios comply 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 4, 2010: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

Based on the highest radiated RF power and the highest antenna gain in antennas used with XG­75M/M7300 series radios, the distances listed in Table 1-3 and Table 1-4 are considered as safe distan ces
for controlled and uncontrolled environments with the XG-75M/M7300 series mobile radios transmitting
at a maximum 50% duty cycle:

1.5.1 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. Also refer to any special instructions included with the
antenna.

Use only approved/supplied antenna(s) or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments can cause t he FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded.

1.5.2 Approved Accessories

The radio has been tested and meets FCC RF guidelines when used with accessories supplied or
designated for use with it. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC’s RF
exposure guidelines, and may violate FCC regulations. For a list of approved accessories, refer to the
radio’s Installation Manual and/or to the Products and Services Catalog.

Installation Manual.

1.6 OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

To ensure bodily exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for
occupational use. Always adhere to the following basic guidelines:

• The push-to-talk button should only be depressed when intending to send a voice message.

• The radio should only be used for necessary work-related communications.

• The radio should only be used by authorized and trained personnel. It should never be operated by

children.

• Do not attempt any unauthorized modification to the radio. Changes or modifications to the radio may

cause harmful interference and/or cause it to exceed FCC RF exposure limits. Only qualified
personnel should service the radio.

• Always use only authorized accessories (antennas, control heads, speakers/mics, etc.). Use of

unauthorized accessories can cause the FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

The information listed above provides the user with information needed to make him or her aware of a RF
exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC exposure limits of this radio.

1.7 COMMON HAZARDS

The operator of any mobile radio should b e aware of certain hazards common to
the operation of vehicular radio transmissions. Possible hazards include but are not
limited to:

• Explosi ve 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 o ften, but not alway s, clearly marked. T urn 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.

18

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

• Interferen ce To Vehicular El ectronic 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 contai ns such equipment, consult t he dealer for the make of v ehicle
and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is
transmitting.

• Electric Bla sting Caps — To prevent accidental detonation o f electric blasting caps, DO NOT use

two-way radios within 1000 feet (305 meters) of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off
Two-Way Radios” (or equivalent) signs posted where electric bla sting 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 any one outside of th e vehicle is within t he minimum safe
distance from the antenna as specified in Table 1-3 and Table 1-4. Refer to Secti on 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 located 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 driver­side 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.

1.8 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

1.9 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 XG-75M/M7300 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.

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.

When using a two-way radio, remember these rules:

• It is a vio lation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. The radio operates in

much the same way as a telephone “party line.” Therefor e, 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 Fed er al 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 th e radio to send person al messages (excep t 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.

1.10 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.

2.4 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR UNE EXPOSITION À L’É NERGIE DES RF

2.4.1 Renseignements Sur Le Contrôle Et La Sensibilisation À L’énergie Des

RF Pour Les Exigences D’une Utilisation Professionnelle De La FCC

Avant d’utiliser les radios mobiles bidirectionnelles, passez en revue les renseignements et les
instructions opérationnelles importants suivants sur le contrôle et la sensibilisation à l’énergie des
RF. Se conformer à ces renseignements et instructions pour assurer la conformité aux directives
d’exposition aux RF.

Cette radio est destinée à être utilisée d ans des conditions professionnelles/
contrôlées, où les utilisateurs ont une pleine connaissance de leur exposition et

d’exposition aux RF. Cette radio N’est PAS autorisée po ur la popul ati on g énérale,
les consommateurs ou toute autre utilisation.

Des changements ou modifications non expressément approuvés par Harris pourraient
annuler le droit d’utilisation de l’équipement pour l’utilisateur.

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 appel s. L’énergie des RF est une forme d ’énergie
électromagnétique. D’autres formes compren nent, en tre autres, l’énerg ie électriq ue, la lumière d u 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, p euv en t causer d es d ommag es b iol og iq ues. 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 A mériqu e du Nor d son t conçues, fab riqu ées et testée s po ur 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 :

2.4.1.1 Règlements de la Federal Communications Commission (« Commission

fédérale des communications » aux États-Unis)

Avant d’être mise sur le marché aux États-Unis, la radio mobile bidirectionnelle XG-75M/M7300 a été
testée pour s’assurer de sa conformité aux limites d’exposition à l’énergie des RF de la FCC pour les
radios mobiles bidirectionnelles. Lorsque les radios bidirectionnelles sont utilisées à la suite d’une
embauche, la FCC demande aux utilisateurs de bien connaître et de pouvoir contrôler leur exposition pour
satisfaire les exigences professionnelles. La sensibilisation à l’exposition peut être facilitée par
l’utilisation d’une étiquette qui dirige les utilisateurs vers des renseignements particuliers sur la
sensibilisation de l’utilisateur. La radio possède une étiquette de produit sur l’exposition aux RF. De plus,
le Manuel sur la sécurité du produit et le présent Manuel de l’opérateur comprennent des renseignements
et les consignes d’utilisation nécessaires pour contrôler l’exposition aux RF et pour satisfaire les
exigences de conformité.

2.5 CONFORMITÉ AUX NORMES D’EXPOSITION AUX RF

La radio mobile bidirectionnelle XG-75M/M7300 est conçue et testée pour être conforme à un certain
nombre de normes et directives nationales et internationales quant à l’exposition humaine à l’énergie
électromagnétique des RF. Cette radio est conforme aux limites d’exposition de l’IEEE et de la
Commission internationale de protection contre les rayonnements non ionisants pour un environnement
professionnel/contrôlé d’exposition aux RF à des p ériodes de cycle de service allant jusqu’à 50 % (50 %
de transmission, 50 % de réception) et elle est auto risée par la FCC pour une utilisation professionnelle.
Sur le plan de la mesure de l’éner gie des RF pour la conformité aux directives d’exposition de la FCC,
l’antenne de la radio irradie une én ergie des RF mesurable seuleme nt lorsqu’elle t ransmet (parler), et non

2.6 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LA FORMATION SUR LA SANTÉ ET LA SÉCURITÉ AU TRAVAIL

S’assurer que l’exposition physique à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les limites
acceptables de la FCC pour l’utilisation professionnelle. Toujours se conformer aux directives de base
suivantes:

• Le bouton de microphone doit être abaissé seulement lorsque l’on souhaite envoyer un message

vocal.

• La radio doit être utilisée seul ement pour les communications nécessaires liées au travail.

• La radio doit être utilisée seulement par du personnel autorisé et formé. Elle ne doit jamais être

utilisée par des enfants.

• Ne tentez pas d’apporter une modification non autorisée à la radio. Des changements ou des

modifications à la radio peuvent causer une interférence nocive ou entraîner un dépassement des
limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Seul le personnel qualifié doit utiliser la radio.

• Utilisez toujours seulement des accessoires autorisés (antennes, haut-parleurs/micros, etc.).

L’utilisation d’accessoires non autorisés p eut entraîner un dépassement des exigences de con formité
pour une exposition aux RF de la FCC.

Les renseignements donnés ci-dessus donnent à l’utilisateur les renseignements nécessaires pour le
sensibiliser à l’exposition aux RF et sur ce qu ’il faut faire pour s’assurer que cette radio fo nctionne dans
les limites d’exposition de la FCC de cette radio.

2.7 DANGERS COURANTS

L'utilisateur de toute radio mobile doit être informé des dangers courants aux
transmissions par des radios de véhicules. Les dangers éventuels comprennent,
sans toutefois s'y limiter :

• Atmosphère s explosives – De la même manière qu'il est dangereux de faire l e plein d'essence d'un

véhicule dont le moteur est en marche, s'assurer que la rad io est éteinte (po sition OFF) avant de faire
le plein d'essence. NE PAS transporter de con teneurs de carburant dans le coffre d'un véhicule si la
radio est montée dans celui-ci.

Les zones avec une atmosphère potentielle ment explosiv e sont souvent , mais pas toujours, clairement
signalés. Éteindre la radio (position OFF) dans toutes les zones avec une atmosphère pot entiellement
explosive. Il est rare, mais pas impossible, que la radio ou ses accessoires génère des étincelles.

• Interféren ces a vec l es sys tèmes électr oniq ues de v éhicul es – Les sy stèmes électr oniq ues à i njectio n

de carburant, les systèmes électroniques de freinage antidérapage, les systèmes électroniques de
régulateur de vitesse, etc., sont des systèmes pouvant mal fonctionner en raison d'une protection
insuffisante contre l'énergie RF présente lors des transmissions. Si le véhicule est équipe de tels
systèmes, consulter le concessionnaire pour obtenir des informations sur la marque du véhicule et
déterminer si de tels circuits électroniques fonctionnent normalement lorsque le radio émet.

• Détonateurs électroniques – Afin d'éviter toute explosion accidentelle des détonateurs électriques,

NE PAS UTILISER les radios émetteur-récepteur à moins de 305 mètres (1 000 pieds) d'une
opération de dynamitage. Respecter toujours les signes d’extinction des radios émetteur-récepteur
affichés dans les endroits où les déton ateurs électriques sont utilisés. (norme OSHA : 1926.900)

33

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

• Énergie des fréquences radio – Pour prévenir toute brûlure ou toute blessure physique connexe

causée par l'énergie des fréquences radi o, ne pas faire fonctionner l'émetteur lorsqu'une personne à
l'extérieur du véhicule est située en deçà de la distance minimale sécuritaire de l'antenne, comme
stipulé à la Section 2.5.

• Véhicules alimentés au gaz de pétrole liquéfié (GLP) – L'instal lation de radios mobiles dans des

véhicules alimentés au gaz de pét role liquéfié avec u n réservoir GLP d ans le coffre ou dan s tout autre
espace scellé à l'intérieur du véh icule doit être conforme à la norme NFPA 58 de la National Fire
Protection Association. Exigences :

 L'emplacement qui abrite la radio doit être isolé et scellé de l'emplacement contenant le réservoir

de GLP et ses raccords.

 Des raccords de remplissage extérieurs doivent être utilisés pour le réservoir de GLP.
 Le réservoir de GLP doit être pourvu d'une évacuation vers l'extérieur du véhicule

• Véhicules équipés de coussins gonflables – Pour la pro tection du conducteur et celle de s passagers,

éviter d'installer les têtes de commandes de la radio (ou tout autre composant) au-dessus ou à
proximité des zones de déploiement de ces cou ssins gonflables. Outre les coussins gonflables avant
du conducteur et du passager, certains véhicules peuvent aussi être équipés de coussins gonflables
latéraux. Pour la sécurité des occupants, vérif ier l'em p lace ment d e tou s les co ussi ns g on flab les dans l e
véhicule avant d'installer équipement radio.

2.8 RECOMMANDATIONS POUR UNE CONDUITE SÉCURITAIRE

Recommandations principales de l'A merican Automobile Association (AAA) pour une conduite en toute
sécurité :

• Lire la documentation sur la sécurité d'utilisation de la radio.

• Garder les deux mains sur le volant et ranger le microphone dans son support durant la conduite du

véhicule.

• Effectuer un appel seulement lorsque le véhicule est à l'arrêt.

• Si un appel doit être effectué alors que le véhicule est en mouvement, conduire dans l a voie la plus

lente. Les conversations doivent être brèves.

• Si une conversation nécessite la prise de notes ou exige une réflexion plus approfondie, arrêter le

véhicule dans un endroit sûr et poursuivre l'appel.

• Toujours utiliser une radio mobile avec prudence.

2.9 RÈGLES ET RÉGLEMENTATIONS D'UTILISATION

Les systèmes de radio émetteur-récepteur doivent être utilisés conformément aux règles et
réglementations du gouvernement local, régional ou national.

Aux États-Unis, la radio mobile XG-75M/M7300 doit être utilisée conformément aux règles et
réglementations de la Commission fédér ale des comm unicat ions (F CC). L 'opérat eur d'un e radi o émetteu r­récepteur doit être pleinement familiarisé avec les règles qui s'appliquent au fonctionnement d'une radio
de ce type. Le respect de ces règles aide à éliminer la confusion, garantit une utilisation hautement
efficace des canaux radio existants et assure le bon fonctionnement du réseau radio.

Rappels des règles à suivre lors de l'utilisation d'une radio émetteur-récepteur :

• L'interrup tion de messages de détresse ou d'urg ence constitue une violation des règles d e la FCC. Le

fonctionnement de la radio est similaire au fonctionnement d'un téléphone « connexion multipoint ».
Par conséquent, toujours écouter avant d'émettre afin de s'assurer que le canal est libre. Les appel s
d'urgence sont prioritaires sur tous les autres messages. Si un message d'urgence est en cours de
transmission (pour signaler un incendie ou demander de l'aide à la suite d'un accident, par exemple),
ne pas émettre de messages sauf pour venir en aide.

• La loi fédérale interdit l'utilisation d'un langage obscène ou blasphématoire.

• La loi interdit l'envoi de faux indicatifs d'appel ou de faux messages de détresse ou d'urgence. La

FCC exige que vos conversations soient brèves et s'en t iennent au sujet de l'appel. Pour gagner du
temps, utiliser autant que possible des messages codés.

• L'utilisation de la radio pour l'envoi de messages personnels (sauf en cas d'urgence) constitue une

violation des règles de la FCC. Envoyer des messages essentiels uniquement.

• La loi fédérale interdit la répétition ou la diffusion de toute information entendue via les

communications radio. Les conversatio ns entre les utilisateurs qui partagent un même canal doivent
être traitées comme des messages confidentiel s.

• La FCC ex ige que les utilisateurs s'identifient à certai ns moments au moyen de leur indicatif d'appel .

Se référer aux règles qui s'appliquent au type particulier d'activités pour la bonne procédure à suivre.

• Aucune modification ou aucun ajustement ne doit être fait à l'équipement, sauf par un technicien

électronique autorisé et certifié.

En vertu de la loi des États-Unis, l'utilisation d'un émetteur radio sans licence sur le
territoire américain est punissable d'une amende d'un maximum de 10 000
emprisonnement de deux (2) ans au maximum, ou les deux.

4. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The XG-75M/M7300 mobile is a state-of-the-art radio designed to meet the critical d emands of its users.
The XG-75M/M7300 mobile supports multiple operating modes, including OpenSky
operation (700/800 MHz radios only), Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS

TM

ProVoice

trunked modes, P25 digital trunked mode, P25 digital conventional mode, and analog

®

digital trunked

®

) or

conventional mode.
The XG-75M mobile radio is essentially an M7300 mobile radio running XGP radio software/firmware.

Otherwise, an XG-75M radio is identical to a similar-RF-banded M7300 radio.
The optional Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver module can provide standard GPS formatted data

over the air for vehicle tracking systems.
Data Encryption Standard (DES) and the optional Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) are available for

maximum communications security.
The XG-75M/M7300 radio uses the CH-721 Control Head which is available in two models: System and

Scan. The display is designed to maximize readabilit y and ease of use. The CH-721 utilizes a 3-line 12­character alphanumeric display with large buttons, volume knob, and channel knob, providing a user­friendly interface.

The CH-721 control head can be mounted with the radio (Front Mount) or it can be mounted and operated
remotely. For remote mount installations configured with a CH-721 control head, all normal radio
operations and interfaces can be handled via the control head connected to the radio unit via a 3-wire
Controller Area Network (CAN) cable. Two control heads may be attached to a radio. Each control head
provides a serial access point for data and any one (only one at a time) can be connected to a data device
such as a personal computer.

Where multiple control heads are connected or where a dash-mount radio is installed with an additional
remote control head, the following featur es ar e available from each position:

• Outgoing voice calls can be initiated. Either control head can initiate a call but only one can talk at a

time. The other connected control head hears both sides of the conversation.

• Incoming and outgoing audio can be heard. (Outgoing audio is not broadcast at the source position.)

• Independent audio control is available.

• Radio settings such as talk group, scan mode etc., can be controlled. (Any connected control head can

override the radio settings of another connected control head.)

• Comfort settings, such as volume and display brightness that are applicable to the individual control

head can be adjusted and cannot be overridden by another control head.

• An optional intercom function is available between control units. Audio is broadcast to ALL

connected control heads.

The front panel of the control head includes a dot matrix display, controls for menu navigation, an
emergency button, three pre-set buttons, a Power On-Off/Volume Control knob, and a microphone
connector. In addition, the system model control head features a DTMF keypad (Figure 6-1).

Figure 6-1: System Model

The buttons on the front panel are backlit for operation in a low ambient light level such as nighttime
operation. Some buttons also flash to provide feedback of various operating conditions.

Button function may vary depending upon radio programming. Any non-DTMF button
can be configured to various functions via the at**chkeymap command. Refer to the AT

6.2 POWER UP AND VOLUME CONTROL

6.2.1 Power Up

1. Rotate the Power On-Off/Volume Control knob clockwise to power on the radio. The display

illuminates when the radio powers up.

2. Wait for the power-up sequence to complete, which takes approximately ten (10) seconds.

During this time, if enabled for auto registration, the radio is provisioned with a customized user
personality designed for the user’s specifi c needs by the OpenSky network administrator.

If this personality contains encrypted talk group s or if the user is authorized for, and intends to use,
manual encryption, User Login must b e performed unless the radio has been programmed to auto­login. This requires a system model control head so that the User ID and password can be entered.

3. When provisioning is complete, the radio displays the Dwell Display.

If User Login is required, the bottom line of the Dwell Display flashes the message “Pls Login.”

6.2.2 Volume Control

Turn the Power On-Off/Volume Control knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clock wise to
decrease the volume. The radio sounds a tone to indicate the current volume level.

6.3 SELF-TEST

After power-up, the XG-75M/M7300 radio undergoes a multi-function automatic registration procedure.
As many as sixteen (16) possible radio profiles are d ownloaded to th e radio from the networ k in response
to the User’s ID.

6.4 LOGIN TO THE NETWORK

Login occurs either automatically (auto registration) if the radio has a valid registration or, if enabled and
authorized for encryption (Section 6.32), requires the user to enter a User ID and password.

If encryption is enabled and authorized on the radio, the user is prompted to “Pls Login” with the *1 login
command, a User ID, and password [System Model Control Head required].

1. Press *1 (Login command).

2. Enter the full 10-digit User ID.

3. Press the # key.

4. Enter the password.

• If the radio is configured for alpha-numeric passwords and the password has consecutive

duplicate numbers (“MES33” for exampl e), enter # between the consecutive d uplicate numbers
so the radio does not interpret the entry as a letter (“D” in this example).

• If the radio is configured for numeric-only passwords, do not enter # between duplicated

numbers.

46

5. Press the # key twi ce for alpha-numeric passwords or once for numeric only passwords.
The User ID may be remembered from the previous login. (Refer to Section 6.5 for further details

regarding log off commands.) The password is established before the radio is put into operation. Contact
the local OpenSky network administrator for more information.

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

r the radio to register with the network upon the

NOTE

NOTE

If necessary, contact radio system ad ministration personnel for login assistance and/or
radio-specific login instructions.

6.5 LOG OFF THE NETWORK

The *0## command de-registers the radio. Typically, this is automatically performed when powering
down the radio. Using this method, the User ID is remembered by the radio so only the password is
needed at next login. Manually log off by pressing *0## (requires System Model).

6.6 TURN THE RADIO OFF

To turn the radio off, rotate the Power On-Off/Volume Control knob counter-clockwise. In multiple
control head installations, turning off the last powered-up control head also automatically turns off the
radio.

If enabled via programming, several user-selected radio setting s (i.e., scan mode , pre-set buttons, and side
tone levels) are maintained for the next operational session. At the next radio power-up, maintained
settings automatically restore, along with the network personality settings. In multiple control head
installations, settings are maintained for each control head position.

If power is abruptly disconnected from the radio prior to executing the correct turn-off
procedure, user-selected radio setti ngs and last-tuned channel information are lost. This
can extend the time required fo
subsequent power-up.

6.7 MENU DISPLAY AND CONTROL AREA

Following power-up, the radio display shows the default talk group (Figure 6-3). , OPT/OPTION,
or CLR/CLEAR changes the display to the next available menu. In many cases, the dwell display
automatically re-appears after no menu buttons are pressed for a short period of time (between 10 and 30
seconds). For some menus such as the GPS and User ID menus, this does not occur unless the menu
up/down buttons are pressed.

When the dwell display is active, it chang es to reflect the current profile, received talk group/caller ID
(when available), or channel if the channel menu is enabled. The second line of dwell menu changes
when the user presses the MENU button.

The radio’s display is highly interactive. It responds in the top and bottom text lines as the user presses
the menu buttons to scroll through the menu loop and the entries for each menu.

6.11 PERSONALITY

As illustrated in Figure 6-4, a personality defines the profiles and talk groups available to t he user. It is
the structuring of a collection of profiles and privileges established by the OpenSky network administrator
to provide the user with a co mprehensive set of profiles to communicate effectively with the necessary
talk groups or individuals.

Personalities are stored on the network and downloaded over-the-air to the radio. This process is called
“provisioning.” Provisioning occurs at radio power-up and at user log-in. Each personality can contain up
to sixteen (16) profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen talk groups.

6.11.1 Profiles

As stated above, each profile can contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. A profile also defines the radio’s
emergency behavior. All transmissions are made on the selected talk group (displayed on the top line of
the dwell display). The user can change the selected talk group to any of the other talk groups within the
profile.

6.11.2 Talk Groups

A talk group represents a set of users that reg ularly need to commun icate with one another. There can be
any number of authorized users assigned to a talk group. Talk groups are established and organized by the
OpenSky network administrator. An OpenSky talk group is similar to a channel within a conventional FM
radio system.

6.20 STEALTH MODE

For some users, it is important to be able to turn off the radio’s display lights, button backlighting, volume
and side tones, but not radio traffic. For example, in covert operations, lights and sounds could
inadvertently expose an otherwise unobservable radio user. For this purpose, the radio has a Stealth
feature that disables the radio display light, indicator light, and audible side tones.

When Stealth Mode is on, the radio continues to scan the programmed list of talk groups and the user can
key-up on the selected talk group. All buttons are disabled except for PTT, Emergency, 2# and MENU.
Since the screen is blank the user cannot see th e r esult of other button presses.

6.20.1 Enable Stealth Mode

1. Scroll through the menu until “StealthMenu” appears.

2. To immediately turn Stealth Mode on, press (+) or (-) with .
Or
Press quick button command 2# on the System Model control head.

6.20.2 Disable Stealth Mode

To turn Stealth Mode off, press quick button command 2# or the MENU button on the radio’s front panel.

6.21 ADJUST SIDE TONE AUDIO LEVEL

The radio sounds confirming tones called “side tones” when its buttons are pressed. Most users find this
audible confirmation helpful when navigating the menus. Side tone audio level can be adjusted or turned
completely off using the “Side Menu.”

For covert operations, it may be necessary to turn o ff side tones. For safety’s sake, turning off the radio
during covert operations is not recommended.

To temporarily disable the side tones that could expose the user’ s presence and position, use the menu
buttons to access the “Side Menu” and select “Off” from the menu choices.

If the radio is operating properly but side tones are not heard when the menu buttons are pressed, the side
tones are probably turned off. To turn them back on, access the “Side Tone” menu and select a setting
other than “off.”

Use the following procedure to set side tone level:

1. Scroll through the menu until the “Side Menu” appears in the bottom line of the display.

2. Use to change to the desired level (Off, Low, Medium, and High). To turn side tones

completely off, use the “Off” setting.

the radio, the radio displays “No App.”

6.23 RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT VOICE CALLS

As soon as the radio completes the startup/login/provision/self-test sequence and registers on the
OpenSky network, voice calls from talk groups in the active profile are audible.

6.23.1 Receive a Voice Call

The Alias/User ID/Talk Group name is only displayed if that dwell display option is
selected using the MENU button. For example, if the user sets the dwell display option
to profile, the profile continues to be displayed when a call is received.

No action is required to receive a voice call. The display responds to incoming voice calls as fol l ows:

• When the dwell display is set to received talk group, the scan mode is Normal or Fixed:
a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk gro up, then the alias (if available) or user ID

of the incoming caller is displayed.

b. If the received t alk group does not match the selected talk group, then the received talk group

name is displayed

• When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the Scan Mode is None, the radio only
receives voice on its selected talk grou p. When the call is receive d, the alias (if available) or t he user
ID of the incoming caller is displayed.

• When the dwell display is not set to received talk group, then there is no display indication of an
incoming call.

A radio receiving a System All Call di splays “All Call” instead of the alias. A radio
not transmitting on a talk group in emergency status drops all other calls to scan into
an All Call.

Refer to Section 6.27 for detailed information on talk group scanning. Refer to Section 6.32 for detailed
information regarding sending and receiving encrypted calls.

60

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

6.23.2 Transmit a Voice Call

Transmit a voice call as follows:

1. Turn the radio on.

2. If required, login to the network using a user ID and password (see

3. Select the talk group on which you want to transmit.

4. Press and hold the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button on the hand-held microphone, pause for a moment,

and then speak normally. For maximum clarity, hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from the
mouth and do not shout or whisper into it. If the call is queued by the network, wait for the grant tone
to sound before speaking.

5. Release the PTT button when finished speaking.
Refer to Section 6.32 for detailed information regarding sending and receiving encrypted calls.

6.24 ADJUST AUDIO TREBLE LEVEL

The tone of received signals can be adjusted using the radio’s “Treble Menu” as follows:

1. Scroll through the menu until “Treble Menu” appears. The radio’s current treble level setting

indicates in the top line of the di splay. There are four levels available: lo w, medium, medium-high,
and high.

2. Use to increase or decrease treble level.

3. Press the MENU button or wait a few seconds to return to the Dwell Display.

6.25 INTERCOM MODE

Section 6.4).

The optional intercom mode gives users at multiple control heads connected to the same radio the ability
to communicate with each other without transmitting over-the-air. Turn intercom mode on and off using
the “INTERCOM” menu as follows:

1. Scroll through the available menu i tems until “INTERCOM” appears in the display.

2. Use to toggle between “On” and “Off.”
When intercom mode is turned on:

• Incoming voice calls override intercom communications for the duration of the voice call. The radio

and associated con trol heads remain in intercom mode and intercom communications resu me when
the voice call ends.

• “TG: INTERCOM” appears in the control head’s display when talking on the intercom. This indicates

microphone audio is not sent out on the selected talk group; rather, it remains localized between th e
radio control positions (i.e., the control heads connected to the mobile radio).

• If a call exists o n the currently selected talk group when a PTT butto n is pressed at one of the co ntrol

heads, “TG: in use” appears in the display to indicate intercom mic audio cannot preempt the call on
the talk group.

61

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

CAUTION

NOTE

NOTE

A user at a radio with only one control head/front panel can turn intercom mode on. In
this case, pressing the microphone’s PTT button does NOT send microphone audio
anywhere.

6.26 TALK GROUP LOCK OUT

There are two ways of focusing voice communications by suppressing calls from talk groups in the
currently active profile:

1. No Scan: By turning scan off (selectin g “No Scan” via the “ScnModeMenu”), only the selected talk
group is audible.

2. Lock Out: By locking out selected talk groups, the “chatter” of the locked out talk groups cannot be
heard. This focuses the user’s scanning resources to calls only on desired talk groups.

Talk group lock out is a scan-related feature. With lock out, one or more talk groups in the active profile
can be temporarily disabled from being scanned. Calls are not received on locked-out talk groups. Lock
out settings are not retained between profile changes or when the radio is power cycled.

Lock out is a listening (receive) function and only blocks received calls on locked out
talk groups. Lock out does not affect transmit capability. The above methods do not
apply to recent emergency lock outs.

Only talk groups in the active profile can be locked out, since they are the only talk groups whose voice
calls can be heard on the radio.

P1, P2, and P3 talk groups cannot be locked out.

The default emergency and emergency-capable talk groups can be locked out if they are NOT in an
emergency state. If a talk group is locked out and is subsequently changed to the currently selected talk
group, it is automatically unlocked by the radio so the user can hear calls on the talk group. The radio may
be configured so all talk groups are automatically locked out by default. In this case, they must be
manually unlocked, if desired.

6.26.1 Lock Out a Talk Group

1. Scroll through the menu until “LockOutMenu” appears in the bottom line of the display . The n ame of
a talk group in the currently active profile appears in the top line.

2. Use to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the desired talk group for lock out
appears in the top line of the display.

3. Press the MENU button to lockout the displayed talk group. A less than symbol (<) ap pears next to
the talk group’s name.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, as needed, to lock out additional talk groups.

62

The dwell display re-appears a few second s af ter button presses end.
While scrolling through talk groups in the active profile, the only talk groups that appear in the

“LockOutMenu” are those in the active profile.

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

Functions the same as Normal Scan Mode, except the priority groups are fixed to the selected

NOTE

6.26.2 Unlock a Talk Group

1. Scroll through the menu until “LockOutMenu” appears in the bottom line of the display. The name of

a talk group in the currently active profile appears in the top line.

2. Use to scroll through the list of talk groups, if any, until the talk group desired for unlocking

appears in the top line of the display. A less-than symbol (“<”) appears next to the name of a talk
group that is currently locked out.

3. Press the MENU button to unlock the talk group. The less-than symbol (“<”) next to the name of the

talk group disappears. The dwell display appears as soon as the radio acknowledges the selection.

• Changing the active profile removes any lock outs you have made.

• Turning off the radio removes any lock outs you have made.

6.27 SCANNING

Three scanning modes are available for the radio, but only one can be active at any time. Changing the
scanning mode changes the way the radio scan s voice calls for all of pro files in the radio personality, no
matter which profile is or becomes active.

As described in Table 6-7, the choice of scanning mode changes the span of communications with all the
talk groups in the radio’s profiles, but does not affect interaction with the talk groups.

6.28 MAKE SELECTIVE CALLS

Selective Calling is a feature that allows two radio units to obtain and utilize an independent voice path
for a private call. Radios can be configured to both initiate an d receive Selective Calls or to only receive
Selective Calls.

In the OpenSky system, a source radio can be configured to initiate Selective Calls through a pre­programmed list in memory. This method uses the “speed dial list” set up by the OpenSky network
administrator and provisioned as part of the registration process.

In addition, a properly equipped source radio can initiate a Selective Call to any radio in the system by
entering the ten-digit voice user ID (which looks like a telephone number) of the target device. Entering a
Selective Call number without using the speed dial feature requires a system mod el control head (Figure
6-1). See Section 6.14 for more detail.

Selective Calls are terminated if an emergen cy is declared. The network limits Selective
Calls to ten (10) minutes maximum.

Table 6-8 lists and defines the messages that may be displayed by the radio during a Selectiv e C al l.

Press the # button or (-) using to reject an incoming Intercon nect Call.

6.31 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS

The XG-75M/M7300 mobile radio can transmit both emerg ency voice calls and emergency alerts over the
entire network. OpenSky handles emergency calls and alerts with the highest priority.

For critical voice communications, an emergency call can be raised on the default talk group or the
currently selected talk group by “declaring” an emergency on the talk group. The exact talk group is
determined by the currently activ e profile. After su ccessfully declaring an e mergency on a talk grou p, the
declaring radio’s microphone remains “hot” for a predetermined amount of time. In other words, the radio
transmits audio for a period of time even when the microphone’s PTT button is not pressed. An
emergency talk group is provided greater priority and infinite hang-time by the radio system’s
infrastructure. Hang-time is the maximum duration of quiet time between transmissions on the talk group
before the infrastructure assets are automatic ally taken away. Because an emergen cy call is handled on a
talk group, it is received by all radios and consoles monitoring the talk group.

An emergency alert is a data message sent by the radio to the MIS console (or any console capable of
receiving it). It identifies the radio declaring the emergency, and the radio’s location (if the radio is
equipped with a GPS receiver). Voice audio is not automatically transmitted during the emergency if the
administrator configures the radio for alert notification only.

6.31.1 Declare an Emergency Call or Alert

1. Press the red emergency button on the radio to enter emergency mod e. The emergency is raised after

the emergency raise delay [default is one (1) seco nd].

• If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured for Emergency Alert, the

emergency alert signal is sent to registered aler t servers, such as the dispatcher console.

• If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured for Emergency Call, the

talkgroup is placed into emergency status notifying other radios and the emergency alert signal is
sent to the dispatcher console.

• If the emergency behavior of the active profile is Current, the active, selected voice group

becomes the default emergency voice group.

• If the emergency behavior of the active profile is Default, the radio moves to the default

emergency voice group of the profile and this talk group becomes the select talk group.

2. The display alternates between “Emergency ” and whatever option is selected for the 2nd line of the

dwell display.

unsuccessful because of lost sync, ret ry occu rs i mmed iatel y upon r eacqu irin g sy nc. On each r etry attempt,
radio temporarily displays “E-RETRY.” This process repeats until the emergency is successfully
declared.

6.31.2 Silent Emergency

When this feature is enabled and an emergency call or aler t is declared by pressin g the emerg ency but ton,
the radio does not play a tone and displays an abbreviated emergency message (default is EBA). This
feature is enabled or disabled via programming or via the menu.

If the Silent Emergency feature is enabled or disabled via programming, the setting
survives power cycle. Enable/Disable selection via the menu does NOT survive power
cycle and the enable/disable state reverts to the programmed setting at power up.

6.31.3 Clear an Emergency Call or Alert

Check with the system administrator t o ensure that the radio is programmed to allow an
emergency to be cleared.

If enabled via programming, clear an emergency by:

1. Pressing and holding the CLR/CLEAR button and simultaneously pressing the emergency button.

2. After the Emergency Cleared Tone sounds, release both buttons.

If the radio is in Stealth Mode, clearing the emergency takes the radio out of Stealth Mode.

6.31.4 Receive an Emergency Call

Upon receiving an emergency call declared by another radio:

• An emergency tone sounds in the radio’s speaker/headset (three short high-pitched beeps).

• “EMERGEN CY” flash es in the disp lay if th e radio i s not in stealth mode. When receiving voice in an

active emergency, the flashing “EMERGENCY” is inhibited so that the alias of the sender can be
seen.

• On receivin g radi os wit h the e mergency t alk g roup selected, the al ias of the sen ding par ty is display ed

for 5 seconds during the open-mic period, then the word “Emergency” flashes on the second line of
the display and continues until the emergency state ends.

• If scan mo de is set t o “No S can” an d th e emerg ency was declared on the selected talk gro up, audio on

the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. See page 63 for additional information on
“No Scan” operation.

70

• If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the

selected talk group, the emergency talk group (identified by an “*”) must be selected before audio on
it is heard in the speaker/headset.

• If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the

selected talk group, the emergency talk group’s name appears in the bottom line of the display. Audio
on the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset.

• The declaring radio's alias appears in the bottom line of the display when the emergency talk group is

selected.

• An emergency call can be dismissed as described in the following section.

A radio declaring an emergency on a talk group has a “hot” mic time period of typically
ten (10) seconds just after it declar es the emergency. This time period may be adjusted
by system or network administration personnel on a per radio basis.

6.31.5 Dismiss an Emergency Call

An emergency is dismissed for a configurable amount of time only (default = 5 minutes).

To ignore an emergency call declared by another radio user:

1. Scroll through the menu until “EmgDismiss” appears in the display.

2. Press until the talk group in the emergency state appears, as indicated by an asterisk (*)

following the talk group’s name.

3. Press the MENU button.

The emergency dismiss timer is cleared when the emergency is cleared.

6.32 ENCRYPTION

In the OpenSky network, both data and voice use a 128-bit or 256-bit key encryption standard published
by the Federal Information Processin g S ervice (FIP S), called Advan ced Encr yp tion Stan dard ( AES). AES
is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce for encryption of classified materials.

When encryption is enabled on the network, data is encrypted from the MDIS to the Mobile End System
(MES) (e.g., XG-75M/M7300 mobile radio). This form of encryption provides air-link security.

Voice encryption is handled either automatically or manually. Automatic encryption is initiated through
the Unified Administration Server (UAS) for a specific talk group and requires nothing from the user.
Manual encryption is initiated by two or more radio users and requires system model control heads. Both
methods of encryption are discussed in the following sections.

6.32.1 Automatic Encryption

For automatic encryption, a network administrator selects the talk group to be encrypted at the interface to
the UAS. Once the talk groups have been select ed and iden tified as secure, creden tials for key g eneration

are generated automatically by the syste m and provisioned to authori zed users. This process requir es that
authorized users login to the network and be authenticated. Encryption keys require no manual handling
and are never sent “in the clear” over any network interface or air-link.

1. “Pls Login” appears displayed in the bottom line of the dwell display.

2. Login normally using the keypad on a system model control head to enter User ID and Password.
If a user is engaged in a call on a talk group encrypted at the network administrat or level, “Secure Call”

appears in the bottom line of the dwell display if the user is logged in to that talk group.
If a secure call is in progress elsewhere and the user has not logged in, the bottom of the dwell display

alternates between “No Access” and the ali as of the radio that is currently engaged in the secure call.

The radio can also be programmed to automatically login and enable encryption.

6.32.2 Manual Encryption (System Model)

Two or more users can manually encry pt a call, i f enabled, without an established encrypted talk group. A
pre-determined key is required at each radio.

The key must be pre-determined by the users prior to making a manually encrypted call
on a talk group and is entered into the radio using the keypad. For 128 bit encryption, this
key is between 1 and 16 digits. For 256 bit encryption, this key is between 17 and 32
digits.

If two communicating radios have different (manually­each radio sounds garbled.

With manual encryption enabled, unencrypted radio users on the talk group can still make standard voice
(unencrypted) calls on the talk group. However, if an unencrypted user attempts to transmit on the talk
group when one of the encrypted users is already transmitting on the talk group, the unencrypted radio
sounds a deny tone and “No Access” appears in the di splay. Also, the encrypted user can hear standard
unencrypted calls, but cannot respond while still manually encrypted.

Do not set a talk group for manual encryption if it has been set for encryption by the
network administration personnel.

Perform the following to transmit or receive manually encrypted calls:

1. Press *32 on the keypad.

2. Enter the key (1 – 16 digits for 128 bit encryption; 17 – 32 digits for 256 bit encryption).

3. Press the # key.

72

4. To end manual encryption, press *33#.
If a user is engaged in a call on a talk g roup that has been manually encrypted at the radio lev el, the user

sees “Secure Call” on the bottom of the dwell display.

NOTE

If a secure (encrypted) call is in progress, and the user has not entered the key, the bottom of the dwell
display alternates between “No Access” and the alias of the radio that is currently engaged in the secure
call.

Once the user has terminated manual e ncryption, “UnSecure” appears temporarily in the bottom line of
the dwell display.

6.33 PRESET BUTTONS

The front panel contains three buttons labeled A, B, and C. By holding one of these buttons down for
approximately three (3) seconds, the following current information is saved to the function of that button:

• Currently selected Priority 1, Priority 2, and Priority 3 talk groups

7.14 MACRO KEY OPERATION

Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Up to ten (10) macro keys can be defined, each capable of executing up to twenty (20)
keystrokes, to any pushbutton input (i.e., keypad keys, buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre­programmed to activate when pressed or when released. A macro key can also be pre-programmed to
change the keystroke sequence the next time the macro key is activated. For detail operation and
assignment of macro keys, contact your system administrator.

7.15 RE CEIVE A CALL

1. Turn the radio on by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise (out of detent). A

short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use.

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 is automatically returned to normal operation.

Emergency and Special Call are not operational durin
addition, the GRP control does not operate.

7.18 EMERGENCY OPERATION

The radio’s emergency behavior varies depending on programming. When an emergency is declared,
scanning stops and only restarts after the emergency is cleared.

7.18.1 Receive an Emergency Call

When receiving an emergency call fro m the sele cted gro u p and system, an alert beep sounds and the BSY
indicator illuminates. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line 2 until the emergency

7.19 MIXED SYSTEM ZONES

A Zone is a grouping of analog conventional channels, P25 conventional channels, and/or P25T or P25C
talkgroups. Mixed System Zones are defined in RPM and can be comprised of any combination of
channels/groups from multiple systems as long as th e system definitions share the same WACN/System
ID. If a Mixed System Zone is not configured in RPM, it will not appear on the radio. Up to 50 Mixed
System Zones can be defined.

To select a Mixed System Zone:

1. Press MENU.

2. Scroll through menu and select ZONE.

3. Select the desired Mixed System Zone.
Alternately, the System/Group/Channel knob or a button on the radio can be programmed to scroll

through available Mixed System Zones.
When scan is enabled on a system in a Mixed System Zon e, the radio cont inues to display the zone n ame

or system name per the current radio mode (system/zone). When toggling scan ON/OFF, there is no
change to the first line of the radio display. If it is showing system name, it continues to show system
name; if it is showing zone name, it continues to show the zone name during scanning.

7.20 CALLER ID

This feature allows you to view the caller I D or alias for up to the last 10 recei ved calls. Received calls
include Group, Announcement, Phone, Patch, SimulSelect, Agency, Fleet, and MDC.

1. Press MENU and scroll through menu to select CALL ID. Alternately, a button can be programmed

93

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

7.22 SYSTEM SCAN OPERATION (EDACS AND P25 TRUNKED)

The radio can be programmed with the following Syste m Scan features. These features are au tomatically
enabled upon radio power up. A key or menu option is also defined to allow the System Scan features to
be toggled during radio operation. This is covered in the Menu Selection and Pre-Programmed Keypad
Key sections. The System Scan state is maintained th rough system changes but defaults to ON at power
up.

7.22.1 Wide Area System Scan (WA Scan)

The XG-75M/M7300 Series mobile radio can be programmed for Wide Area System Scan operation for
multi-site applications. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios can be
programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is
found, the radio switches to the new sy stem and sounds an alert tone. The amount of time before the
radio enters Control Channel Scan after losing the control channel is configurable in RPM.

7.22.2 ProScan™

The radio can be programmed for ProScan™ system scan operation for multi-site applications depending
on the version of radio flash code. ProScan provides the radio with the ability to select a new syste m for
the radio to communicate on, when the selected system drops below a predefined level. This is
accomplished by enabling each radio to analyze the signal quality of its current control channel and
compare it with the signal quality of the control channel for each site in its adj acency scan list. Th e signal
quality metric used for the ProScan algorithm is based on a combination of both Received Signal Strength
Indicator [RSSI] and Control Channel Verification [CCV] measurements. When the selected system’s
signal quality level degrades below a pre-programmed level, the radio begins to look for a better control
channel. Once a control channel that exceeds the p re-programmed parameters is found, the radio changes
to the new system and emits a tone. If the control channel is comp letely lost, the radio enters Wide Area
System Scanning and searches the programmed adjacent systems until a suitable control channel is found.

7.22.3 Priority System Scan

The radio can also be programmed for Priority System Scan. (To ensure that this feature operates
correctly, the control channel of the priority system must be located on channel one unless you are using
the ProScan algorithm.) The priority system is the desired or preferred system. While receiving the
control channel of the selected system, the rad io periodically leaves the sel ected system and searches fo r
the control channel of the priority system at a programmable rate. The programmable rate is defined by
the value in the Priority Scan Time control, unless the ProScan algorithm is enabled as explained below.
This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed or when a call is rec eived. If the
priority system control channel is found, or meets the predefined ProScan criteria, the radio automatically
switches to the priority system.

7.22.4 When Wide Area System Scan is Enabled

If the radio cannot find the control channel of t he selected system and begins Wide Area System Scan, the
radio only scans for the priority system control channel if the priority system is in the WA Scan list.

7.22.5 When ProScan Is Enabled

The radio monitors the priority system an d switches to the pri ority system if the prior ity system meet s the
criteria defined in the “ProScan Options” dialo g box. If ProScan is enabled, the rate at which the radio
scans for the priority system is defined by the System Sample Time control.

94

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

7.22.6 Menu Selection

Press MENU and then use the ramp control to scroll through the selections until SYS SCAN is
displayed. Then press MENU to toggle the System Scan state. The SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display
message is displayed for two seconds to show the new state.

7.22.7 Pre-Programmed Keypad Key

Press the pre-programmed key and the SYSC ON or SYSC OFF display messag e is displayed for two
seconds to show the new state.

7.23 SCAN OPERATION

Only groups or channels that are part of the radio's scan list are scanned. Groups/channels are added to the
scan list on a per system basis through programming, the radio keypad, or both, dependent upon
programming. This scan list can be changed by the user from the keypad, unless programmed otherwise.
Each system's scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off. The XG-75M/M7300 Series
mobile radio can also be programmed to provide Trunked Priority Group Scan capability, which operates
similar to priority scan in Conventional mode.

The following is a description of programmable scan features that should be helpful in understanding the
scan operation of the radio:

Scan Hang Time - the del ay time the radio waits before resuming scan after the push-to-talk is released
or after the carrier has dropped a channel.

TX Select - the group the radio transmits on while scanning. The radio is programmed to transmit on
either the scanned group or the selected group.

Scan List (privileges) - this feature allows or prohibits scan list changes by the user.
P1 Programming - priority group programming is accomplished by one (and only one) of three methods:

• From the keypad, where the Priority programming is not fixed and does not follow the selected

channel.

• Priority 1 group programming follows the selected channel.

• Priority 1 group programming is fixed during PC programming and cannot be changed by the user.

P1 Always Scan - determin es if the Priority 1 Group is always scan ned, regard less of the scan state set by
the user.

7.23.1 Add Groups or Channels to a Scan List

1. With scan operatio n turned off, select the desired group channel t o add to the selected scan list.

2. Press (+) or (-) with to display the current priority status of the group on line 1 for a time-out

period.

NOTE

5. Press (+) with a third time to set the group/channel to Priority 1. is displayed in column 1,

line 1.

The priority level selection sequence only advances the group to the next higher priority level and stops at
priority level 1. To select a lower prio rity level, the group /channel must be deleted fro m the scan list and
then added back to the scan list. Each new group/channel added to the scan list starts at the lowest
priority. If the Priority 1 and Priority 2 group/channel are already set and a new group/channel is assigned
as Priority 1 or Priority 2, the previously assigned group/channel changes to non-priority scanning.

7.23.2 Delete Groups or Channels from a Scan List

1. With scan operatio n turned off, select the desired group/channel to delete from the selected scan list.

2. Press (+) or (-) with . The cur rent scan status of the

group/channel is display ed for a time-out

period.

3. Press (-) with to delete the group from the scan list. , or turns off. Any

group/channel

that is not in a scan list shows a “blank” when it is the selected group/channel.

7.23.3 Nuisance Delete

A group/channel can also be deleted fro m the s can lis t, if i t is no t the cur rently selected gr oup/ chann el, by
pressing (-) with during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group/channel.

The group/channel is deleted from the scan list in the same manner as if using the st eps above. Deletions
performed in this manner do not remain deleted if the radio is turned off and back on.

7.23.4 Turn Scan On

1. Toggle scan operation by pressing SCAN. The SCAN indicator turns on when the radio is scanning.

Scanning stops while the microphone is off-hook if the hookswitch feature is enabled
through programming.

2. When a group on the scan list receives a channel assignment, the radio unmutes on the assigned

channel, the BSY indicator comes on and the recei ved scan group is displayed.

• The radio continues scanning if a new group/channel is selected when scan is on.

• Pressing the PTT button when scan is on causes the radio to transmit on the displayed

group/channel or on the currently selected group depending on programming.

• Pressing up with when scan is on causes the radio to recall the s cann ed gro up/channel that

was last received. This group/channel is recalled for a period equal to the scan hang time.

96

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

NOTE

7.23.5 Priority Group/Channel Scanning

When scan is enabled and the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups/channels have been identified, the radio
listens to calls on those groups/channels and th e selected group/channel. While receiving a scanned call,
the radio continues to monitor the selected Priority 1 and Priority 2 group/channel and drops the call if the
selected group/channel or other higher priority call becomes active. During a Priority 2 call, the radio
continues to monitor for a Priority 1 group call.

The radio monitors for Agency an d Fleet calls that correspond to the Agency an d Fleet associated with
the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups. Priority Agency and Fleet calls are indicated by displaying AGENCY
or FLEET on the System line of the display and associated Priority 1 or 2 group on the Group line of the
display.

7.23.6 Turn Scan Off

Turn scan operation off by pressing SCAN. The radio resumes operation on the selected group/channel.

7.23.7 Mixed Zone Scan

The Mixed Zone Scan (MZS) feature gives the u ser the capabi lity to scan based on a custom scan list th at
is assigned at the system level. The Custom Scan (CS) list can contain System and Channel/Group
configurations across P25 Trunk, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is
defined on a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When defined on 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, P25 C,
and Analog groups/channels. All P25 T sy stems mu st have t he sa me WACN, Sy stem ID, and Un it I D
to be added to the custom scan list.

• P25C and Analog Scan

When a custom scan lists is assigned to a P25 C or Analog System, the user has the ability to scan
P25C and Analog channels. P25T systems are ignored.

7.23.7.1 Custom Scan List Selection

The Custom Scan List is assigned at the System level. Scanning protocols (Custom Scan, System Scan,
and Conventional Priority Scan) are mutually exclusive. Once a custom scan list is assig ned to a system,
when you enable scan, you are scanning the channel/groups defined in the custom scan list. A Custom
Scan List can be assigned to a sy stem through RPM only. The radio supports up to 10 Custom Scan lists,
with up to 50 channels/groups in each.

7.23.7.2 View Custom Scan Lists

7.24 INDIVIDUAL CALLS (EDACS AND P25 MODES)

7.24.1 Receive and Respond to an Individual Call

When the radio receives an individual call, it unmutes on the assigned working channel and turns on the
BSY indicator. Line 1 shows “ID” followed by the logical ID number of the radio sending the message,
or the associated name if the ID number is found in the individual call list. The individual call indicator
displays *INDV* on line 2. The radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If
enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the caller unkeys and continues until the PTT button, the CLR
button, or IND is pressed.

Hookswitch functions the same as CLR key in I-CALL, phone call, and menu modes.

If a response is made to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call is directed to the
originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio returns to normal
receive mode, but * WHC * is displayed. I f the caller's ID is not received, UNKNOWN displays for the
duration of the call and there is no call-back hang time.

98

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

To respond after the call-back time-out, press the IND key. The radio's display shows the callers ID on the
first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point initiates an individual call
back to the original caller. (If the l ast call was a group call, the display shows WHCG=1. Pressing the
PTT button places the call as an individual call.)

The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Receiv ed List as shown. Individual calls are
stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The
most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

To access the list, press the IND key twice. Use to scroll through the list. Press the MENU key to
display the time elapsed since the call was received.

7.24.2 Call Storage Lists

There are two lists available for call storage in th e radio; the calls received list (1-10) and the personality
list (1-99 as defined by the user). When the individual call mode is entered by pressing IND, the calls
received list is available. The u ser can t o gg le to th e pe rso nal ity l ist by select ing a ny key ot her th an DIS or
toggle between the two lists by pressing the IND key. If wrap is enabled, the calls rec eived list wraps on
itself and not into the other list.

The saved call list shows all ten storage locat ions. If no calls have been received, the saved call list is
empty and the pre-stored list is available upon entering the individual call mode.

When in the saved call list, pressing MENU toggles the time stamp ON and OFF. The time stamp
indicates how long ago the call was recei ved . T he d ispl ay ind icates t h is in for mation as HH:M M :SS wher e
HH = hours, MM = minutes, and SS = seconds.

When in the pre-stored list, pressing MENU toggles the logical identification (LID) ON and OFF.

MM-014716-001, Rev. P

7.24.3 Send an Individual Call

The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete an individual call:

1. To select a previou sly stored individual, select the I-Call mode from the menu or press IND followed

by the ramp control to scroll through the list of stored individuals. While in the individual call
list, the MENU key toggles the display between the call name and the unit ID number. If the
individual is not stored in this list but the individual’s unit ID is known, it can be entered directly
from the keypad.

2. Press the PTT button. The radio performs the necessary signaling to obtain a communication channel.

When the signaling is complete and the r adio is clear to transmit, the TX indicator turns ON and the
channel access tone sounds. Line 1 shows the called individual's name if found in the list of stored
individuals or ID followed by the logical ID number of the unit being called. The message *INDV*
displays on line 2. Proceed with the message.

7.25 SCAT™ OPERATION

A SCAT (Single Channel Autonomous Trunking) System operates with the same set of features as a
standard EDACS system. The only significant u ser change relates to the BSY indicator. Since only one
channel, operating as both control and working channel, exists in a SCAT System, the BSY indicator is
ON when the SCAT channel is in the working channel mode. When the transmission on the channel is
completed, the indicator turns OFF and indicates the return of SCAT control channel signaling.

7.26 TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS (EDACS AND P25)

7.26.1 Receive a Telephone Interconnect Call

Receiving a telephone interconnect call is identical to receiving an individual call. See the DTMF
Overdial Operation section if access to services requiring "over-dial" is needed. Overdial op erations are
available for any special call whether it is an individual call or a telephone interconnect cal l.

7.26.2 Send a Telephone Interconnect Call

Use the following procedures to initiate and complete a Telephone Interconnect call:

1. To select a previou sly stored phone number, select phone call mode from the menu, press PHN and

use the ramp control to scroll through the list of stored phone numbers. While in the phone
call list, the MENU key toggles the display between the phone call name and the phone call number.
If the phone number is not stored in this list but the phone number is known, it can be entered directly
from the keypad. If necessary, a pause can be entered by pressing and h olding 0-9, (*), or (#) until an
underscore appears in the display.

2. Press and release the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling to obtain a

communication channel. When the signaling is complete and the radio is clear to transmit, the TX
indicator turns on and the channel access tone sounds. Line 1 shows the accompanying name if
selected from the list of stored numbers or the phone number if entered directly. The message
*PHONE* is displayed on line 2. The radio then automatically transmits the programmed number
stored in the special call queue.

100

3. Telephone ringing is heard. When someone answers the phone, press the PTT button and speak into

the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to the caller. Unsuccessful interconnect signaling
returns the radio to the normal receive mode and the number remains displayed until the special call is
cleared by pressing the CLR button or the time-out expires or another group or system is selected.
