Introduction
Thankyou for choosing the revolutionary X10DR (“extender”) Secure
Wireless Microphone. This incredibly compact, lightweight personal
accessory extends the power of the mobile radio to the palm of your
hand, whether in and out of the vehicle. X10DR stands ready to re-dene
mobile network design by increasing user functionality and mobility whilst
dramatically improving the effectiveness of your infrastructure investment.
This visionary solution provides users out of vehicle communications with
the power and performance of their mobile radio.
X10DR cuts the cord and for the rst time puts the microphone and radio
system access into the palm of your hand when away from the vehicle,
delivering true mobility without system compromise. Users can feel totally
condent their private communications are kept secure with up to AES128
encryption (model dependent) functionality. X10DR uniquely incorporates
HLC™ “Hard Line Coding” connection protocol that virtually eliminates
any possibility of outside intrusion between the X10DR and your vehicle’s
mobile. When the mission is critical, X10DR delivers.
X10DR unleashes the power of your mobile radio allowing wireless
communication with a xed located or vehicle radio: up to 500 meters
or more.* Our EVR™ enhanced voice resilience audio ensures users can
communicate with clean clear audio, with the power and range of
their mobile radio, whilst not being tied to the vehicle allowing the user
to be truly mobile in every operational environment. This ability to now
communicate whilst outside your vehicle signicantly enhances a safer
and more secure work environment for everyone who carries an X10DR
Secure Wireless Microphone.

How it works
SECURE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION
via your vehicle’s mobile radio
Your
mobile
....up to 500 meters.
Basic Operation
Power On & Off
The X10DR will power off & on in synch with the host mobile radio or by
a manual switch tted by your installation mechanic. You can manually
turn off the X-Ponder mobile charger by pressing the front grey button for
5 seconds and the blue LED will extinguish. You can do the same on the
Secure Wireless Microphone by pressing the red button. The Secure Mic
will sound a de-escalating tone. To power On, do the same, releasing the
button once the LED lights. The secure mic will sound an escalating tone.
The blue LED on both units will ash momentarily and then go solid once
they’re connected.
Volume Control
When you rst activate the unit you should rst adjust the Secure Wireless
Microphone volume to a comfortable listening level. You may adjust the
volume by pressing the top blue button to increase or the bottom to
decrease. There are 5 listening levels. The minimum level is not zero but is
designed so you can still quietly hear radio trafc and not inadvertently
turn off the audio.
Transmitting/Receiving
Use like any two way radio speaker microphone i.e. press the large PTT
button to talk and release to listen. Speak with a normal strong clear voice
about 3-5cm (2”) from the microphone port. Do not yell as this causes loss
of clarity.
8
Talkaround
Your X10DR can be congured so that up to eight X10DR devices can be
connected to the one mobile radio. Use Talkaround to talk to other users
sharing your mobile radio without the audio being transmitted over the
radio channel whilst continuing to be able to monitor all communications
over the radio system. Both handsfree and Press to talk operation is
available. Handsfree requires use of either an earpiece connected to the
3.5mm audio jack but preferabley with a noise cancelling headset with
boom mic connected to the Hirose® accessory port.
Secondary PTT
In some applications your X10DR may be connected to two mobile radios,
or a mobile radio and a smartphone with LTE, a satellite link or perhaps
your vehicle’s Public Address systems. In these situations the top centre
button can be used as a secondary PTT button to communicate over the
secondary device.
Talk Permit tones
X10DR can provide talk permit tones* so users know when to start speaking
so that words are not lost at the start of a transmission. The tones can be
enabled individually, 3 short chirps when you press the main PTT, 2 chirps
for Secondary or Talkaround PTT. If you are out of range of your vehicle,
the user will hear the X10DR’s Out of Range tone.
Out of Range Indication
X10DR provides the user with audible feedback should the user move out
of range from their vehicle. Note: if you walk out of range the blue status
LED will ash. If you then push the PTT an alert tone will sound to let you
know your call is not getting though. Pressing the Talkaround Function or
Emergency button when Out of Range will provide a similar indication.
Depending on your location, you may nd you need to walk back several
meters closer to your vehicle to re-connect and the blue status light will
then glow solid again.
Charging Conrmation Tone
X10DR provides the user with a discrete tone whenever the X10DR
Secure Mic is returned to the charging cradle. This discrete alert ensures
the user has a positive indication that the X10DR Secure Mic is charging
and seated correctly in the cradle. The X10DR microphone blue LED
momentary ashes every 10 seconds while charging inside the cradle.
The LED remains constant when fully charged.
9
Emergency
The emergency button can be used to trigger and reset the emergency
function in your suitably equipped mobile radio. The time you hold the
button is the time your mobile radio registers the emergency command.
So if your radio requires you to hold the front panel emergency button for
2 secs, then you should hold the Wireless Microphone emergency button
for 2 seconds. A short beep* will sound when the emergency (orange)
button is pressed. See pg. 20 for other Emergency information.
Advanced Emergency Operation (Elite Models only)
X10DR Elite models provide additional emergency signalling capability
including sending alert tones locally to other units in multi-unit installations
and over the network withor without optional Live Mic. Live Mic sends user
Mic audio for a pre-programmed duration with higher audio gain so others
monitoring can ascertain the nature of the emergency. This is followed
by a receive wait time before repeating the cycle however many times
was desired. Alternatively, where the console operator is able to remotely
monitor a mobile, the X10DR Mic can be programmed to facillitate this
remote audio monitoring for a pre-determined time. Emergency can be
reset by pressing the emergency button for another two seconds.
Earpiece Operation
X10DR provides the user with a weather protected (Elite models
waterproof) 3.5mm earpiece jack to allow use of a range of earpiece
styles to suit individual user preferences while ensuring call privacy.
Plugging in an earpiece disables the internal loudspeaker. Elite models
are not waterproof with the protective cap removed or if damaged.
Find Me™
X10DR’s Find Me feature allows a lost unit or its user to be audibly located
by sounding a loud continuous alert tone thru the Secure Mic. To activate
press the X-Ponder function button for 2 seconds. The loud alert tone will
immediately start to sound. it can be deactivated by the user momentarily
pressing any button on the Secure Mic or at the vehicle by momentarily
pressing the X-Ponder gateway’s function button. Note if the Secure Mic
is out of range it will immediately sound the alert tone once it reconnects.
Function can be enabled/disabled by eld programmer.
Radio Off Alert
Once the X10DR is powered on should the attached host mobile radio
be turned off for any reason the user will be alerted as soon as the secure
mic is removed from the cradle with an out of range tone. This automatic
alerting ensures users know there mobile radio is active when away from
the vehicle.
