1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

WARNING

The L3Harris XL-95P portable radio generates RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This radio is designed for and classified as “Occupational Use Only,” meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards and the ways to minimize such hazards. This radio is NOT intended for use by the “General Population” in an uncontrolled environment.

The XL-95P and XL-45P portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for “Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this L3Harris radio complies with the following Standards and Guidelines regarding RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for exposure to humans:
· FCC KDB Publication 447498 General RF Exposure Guidance · American National Standards Institute (C95.1 ­ 19921), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with
Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A

1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines

CAUTION

To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the EU/AU/FCC/IC allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

· DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by L3Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by L3Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to Table 3-2.)
· DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the “PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.
· ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low power can reduce RF exposure.
· ALWAYS use L3Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc.). Use of unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 1-1.)
· As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT LEAST 0.47 inches (1.2 cm) from the body and at least 0.98 in (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure EU/AU/FCC/IC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, L3Harris recommends you hold the microphone at least 2 in (5 cm) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.
· Refer to Standard EN 62311:2008. Table 1-1: RF Exposure Compliance Tested Distances (Worst Case Scenario)

RADIO FREQUENCY 700/800 MHz
(763 – 776 MHz) (793 – 806 MHz) (806 – 824 MHz) (851 – 870 MHz)

1.2.2 Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility
During transmissions, this L3Harris radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.
1.3 REGULATORY APPROVALS
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
1.3.1 Part 15
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
1.3.2 Industry Canada
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause interference, and 2) This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
1.4 OPERATING TIPS
Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in low-lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle, or in a metal framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit. In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna. Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble- free operation of a portable radio. Always properly charge the battery.
1.4.1 Efficient Radio Operation
Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.

WARNING

Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!

1.4.2 Antenna Care and Replacement

WARNING

Do not use the portable radio with a damaged or missing antenna. A minor burn may result if a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Operating a portable radio with the antenna missing could cause personal injury, damage the radio, and may violate FCC regulations.

CAUTION

Use only the supplied or approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attachments could cause damage to the radio unit and may violate FCC regulations. (Refer to Table 3-2.)

1.4.3 Electronic Devices

CAUTION

RF energy from portable radios may affect some electronic equipment. Most modern electronic equipment in cars, hospitals, homes, etc. is shielded from RF energy. However, in areas in which you are instructed to turn off two-way radio equipment, always observe the rules. If in doubt, turn it off!

1.4.4 Aircraft

WARNING

· Always turn off a portable radio before boarding any aircraft! · Use it on the ground only with crew permission. · DO NOT use while in-flight!!

1.4.5 Electric Blasting Caps

WARNING

To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use twoway radios within 1000 feet of blasting operations. Always obey the “Turn Off Two- Way Radios” signs posted where electric blasting caps are being used (OSHA Standard: 1926.900).

1.4.6 Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

WARNING

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

2.2 RENSEIGNEMENTS SUR LA FORMATION SUR LA SÉCURITÉ

MISE EN GARDE

La radio portative L3Harris XL-95P produit de l’énergie électromagnétique des RF lorsqu’en mode de transmission. Cette radio est conçue et classée pour une « Utilisation professionnelle seulement », ce qui signifie qu’elle ne doit être utilisée que dans le cadre d’un emploi par des individus conscients des risques et des moyens de limiter ceux-ci. Cette radio N’EST PAS conçue pour une utilisation par la « Population générale » dans un environnement non contrôlé.

La radio portative XL-95P and XL-45P a été testée et est conforme aux limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC pour une « Utilisation professionnelle seulement ». De plus, cette radio L3Harris est conforme aux normes et directives suivantes quant à l’énergie des RF et aux niveaux d’énergie électromagnétique, ainsi qu’à l’évaluation de ces niveaux pour l’exposition aux humains :
· FCC KDB 447498 · American National Standards Institute (C95.1 ­ 1992), norme de l’IEEE sur les niveaux
sécuritaires d’exposition humaine aux champs électromagnétiques des radiofréquences, 3 kHz à 300 GHz.

12

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A

· American National Standards Institute (C95.3 ­ 1992), pratique recommandée par l’IEEE pour
la mesure des champs électromagnétiques potentiellement dangereux ­ RF et micro-ondes.
2.2.1 Directives sur l’exposition aux RF

AVERTISSEMENT

Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les limites acceptables de la FCC pour l’utilisation professionnelle, respectez toujours les directives suivantes :

· N’utilisez PAS la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit connectée, car ceci peut
endommager la radio et également causer un dépassement des limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Une antenne appropriée est celle fournie par L3Harris avec cette radio, ou une antenne spécifiquement autorisée par L3Harris pour être utilisée avec cette radio. (Reportezvous à Tableau 2-1.)

· Ne transmettez PAS pendant plus de 50 % de la durée d’utilisation totale de la radio (« cycle
de service de 50 % »). La transmission pendant plus de 50 % du temps peut causer un dépassement des exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. La radio transmet lorsque l’indicateur « TX » apparaît sur l’affichage. La radio transmet lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton « PTT » (bouton de microphone).

· Transmettez TOUJOURS en basse puissance lorsque possible. En plus de préserver la
charge de la pile, une faible puissance réduit l’exposition aux RF.

· Utilisez TOUJOURS des accessoires autorisés L3Harris (antennes, piles, pinces de ceinture,
haut-parleurs/micros, etc.). L’utilisation d’accessoires non autorisés peut entraîner un dépassement des exigences de conformité pour une exposition aux RF professionnelle ou contrôlée de la FCC. (Reportez-vous à Table 3-2.)

· Tel qu’indiqué dans Tableau 2-1, conservez TOUJOURS l’appareil et son antenne à AU
MOINS 1,2 cm du corps, et à au moins 2,5 cm du visage pendant la transmission, pour vous assurer de ne pas dépasser les exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. Cependant, pour offrir la meilleure qualité sonore aux auditeurs de votre transmission, L3Harris recommande de tenir le microphone à au moins 5 cm (2 po) de votre bouche et légèrement déplacé sur un côté.

2.4 CONSEILS D’UTILISATION
L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une radio portative. L’utilisation de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un véhicule ou dans un immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de manière considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité. Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre direction ou à un emplacement plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut faciliter le fonctionnement dans un véhicule. L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez toujours correctement la pile.
14

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A
2.5 UTILISATION EFFICACE DE LA RADIO
Gardez l’antenne dans une position verticale pendant la réception ou la transmission d’un message.

Ne tenez PAS l’antenne lorsque la radio est allumée !

MISE EN GARDE

2.5.1 Entretien Et Remplacement De L’antenne

MISE EN GARDE

N’utilisez pas la radio portative si son antenne est endommagée ou absente. Une brûlure légère peut se produire au contact d’une antenne endommagée avec la peau. Remplacez immédiatement une antenne endommagée. L’utilisation d’une radio portative alors que l’antenne est absente peut causer des blessures, endommager la radio et pourrait enfreindre la réglementation de la FCC.

AVERTISSEMENT

Utilisez seulement l’antenne fournie ou une antenne approuvée. Des antennes non autorisées, des modifications ou des ajouts à une antenne peuvent endommager la radio et enfreindre la réglementation de la FCC. (Reportez-vous à Table 3-2.)

2.5.2 Appareils Électroniques

AVERTISSEMENT

L’énergie des RF provenant de radios portatives peut affecter certains appareils électroniques. La majorité de l’équipement électronique moderne dans les voitures, les hôpitaux, les maisons, etc. est blindé contre l’énergie des RF. Cependant, dans les zones où l’on vous demande de fermer l’équipement de radio bidirectionnelle, respectez toujours les règles. En cas de doute, éteignez-le !

2.5.3 Avion

MISE EN GARDE

· Éteignez toujours une radio portative avant d’embarquer à bord d’un avion !
· Ne l’utilisez au sol qu’avec la permission de l’équipage. · NE l’utilisez PAS durant le vol !

2.5.4 Détonateurs Électriques

MISE EN GARDE

Pour prévenir la détonation accidentelle des détonateurs électriques, n’utilisez PAS de radios bidirectionnelles à moins de 305 m (1 000 pi) des opérations de détonation. Respectez toujours les indications « Éteindre les radios bidirectionnelles » situées là où des détonateurs électriques sont utilisés. (Norme OSHA : 1926.900)

15

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A

2.5.5 Atmosphère Potentiellement Explosive

MISE EN GARDE

Les zones ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive sont souvent, mais pas toujours, identifiées clairement comme telles. Il peut s’agir de zones d’alimentation en carburant, comme les postes d’essence, les installations de stockage ou de transfert de carburant ou de produits chimiques, ainsi que les zones dont l’air contient des produits chimiques ou des particules, comme des grains, de la poussière ou des poudres métalliques. Des étincelles dans de telles zones peuvent provoquer une explosion ou un incendie, causant ainsi des blessures ou même la mort. Éteignez les radios bidirectionnelles dans toute zone ayant une atmosphère potentiellement explosive. Il est rare, mais pas impossible qu’une radio ou ses accessoires produisent des étincelles.

4.10 SELECT ZONE/SYSTEM
A System is a group of channels or talkgroups that share a common set of parameters as programmed using RPM2. For example, a Trunking system defines the parameters needed to communicate on an infrastructure by agency or geographical region, such as WACN, System ID, Talkgroups, etc. A conventional system defines the channel set used and any specific signaling attributes (see RPM2 online help for more information on System attributes).
A Zone is an OPTIONAL container that can hold channels or talkgroups from a variety of systems (see Section 5.3). In other words, each member of a Zone belongs to an underlying system. Zones are always listed first in the Zone/System menu and are designated by the icon. A button on the radio can be programmed to scroll through available zones/systems (see Section 6.5).

4.16 NOISE CANCELLATION
XL Connect Series portable radios feature L3Harris’ proprietary noise suppression capability to provide clear and crisp voice quality in high-noise environments. This can be used in any mode, including analog and digital communications. The radio has two microphones; one located at the top and front of the radio (primary) and one on the back of the radio (secondary). When noise cancellation is enabled, voice is picked up by the front microphone, and noise is picked up from the rear microphone. In the case where noise cancellation is enabled and a speaker microphone is attached to the radio, talk into the speaker microphone. In this mode, the radio’s front microphone is used to pick up the surrounding noise, and the other microphone is unused. See Section 4.16.4 for more information. If the secondary microphone is blocked, the radio operates as though noise cancellation is turned off.

43

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A 4.16.1 Enable Noise Cancellation
To enable Noise Cancellation: 1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the menu. 2. Press the left or right navigation buttons until the UTILITY menu is displayed. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight AUDIO SETTINGS and press the
Menu/Select button.
4. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight NOISE CANCELLATION. Toggle Noise Cancellation ENABLED/DISABLED using the Menu/Select button.
Refer to Section 5.5 for more information on the Audio Settings menu.
4.16.2 Using Noise Cancellation
When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following: · Verify NOISE CANCELLATION is enabled (see Section 4.16.1). · Talk within two (2) inches of the primary microphone (see Figure 4-3). · Ensure the primary and secondary microphones are not covered. See Section 4.16.4 for more
information on the primary and secondary microphones. · Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority. · In very noisy environments, it is o.k. to yell into the radio. The radio can handle loud input
levels.
Figure 4-3: Using Noise Cancellation
44

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A
4.16.3 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. Whereas you may be comfortable speaking up to a foot away under normal operation, noise cancellation requires that you hold the radio close.
4.16.4 Primary versus Secondary Microphone 4.16.4.1 Without a Speaker Microphone Attached
The primary microphone is located on top front of the radio, and the secondary is on the back of the radio (refer to Figure 4-1 for microphone locations).
4.16.4.2 With a Speaker Microphone Attached
When a speaker microphone is attached, the radio electronically switches over to use the radio’s front microphone as secondary. The microphone on the attached speaker microphone becomes primary.
4.16.5 When using a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Mask
When using an SCBA mask, the primary microphone can be held directly against the voice port. If the SCBA has a voice amplifier, the same rule applies. Ensure that the secondary microphone is uncovered. If possible, point the secondary microphone toward the noise source.
4.17 PTT OPTIONS
The radio can be programmed via RPM2 with one of the following PTT options: · Radio and Accessory – In this mode, when the radio is PTTed, the audio source will
correspond with the PTT source. If the source of PTT is radio, the audio is routed via the radio microphone. If the source of PTT is an external microphone accessory, the audio is routed via the
external microphone accessory. · Accessory Only – Any PTT input will have the audio routed through the external microphone
accessory. The Bluetooth Speaker Mic is unaffected by this setting. PTTing the Bluetooth Speaker Mic always results in audio being routed via the Bluetooth Speaker Mic.
NOTE
45

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A

4.18 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 · Encryption On/Off · Noise Cancellation On/Off · Scan On/Off · Talkaround On/Off · Monitor Mode On/Off · Three Position switch change For more information on configuring the radio for Voice Annunciation, refer to the Voice Annunciation Feature Manual 14221-7200-6110.
4.19 ENABLE/DISABLE ENCRYPTION

4.22 USE TALKAROUND TO BYPASS REPEATER (ANALOG AND P25 CONVENTIONAL ONLY)
You can bypass the repeater system to communicate directly with other radios on your current channel’s receive frequency. This is useful if you are out of range of a repeater or if a repeater is busy. You must be in range of the other radio.

Talkaround can be enabled/disabled on a per-channel basis. When talkaround

is disabled, the icon is shown on the front and top display. If talkaround is

disabled for a channel (via the RPM2 personality), and the user tries to enable

talkaround via the menus or knobs while on that channel, the radio emits a

NOTE

“boop” deny tone. Additionally, if talkaround is disabled on a channel, the

talkaround programmable button becomes inoperable and the radio boops.

To enable talkaround: 1. Press Menu/Select button to access the main menu. 2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the CALL menu. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight TALKAROUND MODE.

4. Press the Menu/Select button to toggle TALKAROUND MODE to ENABLED.

5. The optional talkaround icon appears. Calls are now made on the receive frequency until you disable talkaround mode via the CALL menu. Power cycling the radio does not disable talkaround.

Or A button or switch can be programmed to toggle talkaround enable/disabled. See Section 6.5 for the various options that can be programmed to the radio buttons and switches.

If the talkaround Indication feature is enabled using RPM2, the radio will play a unique grant tone when a call is placed on a simplex channel or when talkaround has been enabled on a duplex channel. This feature applies to both Analog and P25 Conventional systems. It optionally allows the radio to also play the same tone when it receives a call while operating in simplex or talkaround. If configured, the radio plays the tone at the selected volume level.

NOTE

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 enabled for the Talk Around Indication tone to be played

NOTE

when the radio is keyed.

4.23 TYPE 99 OPERATION
Type 99 is L3Harris’ name for in-band, two-tone sequential signaling. It is a conventional signaling protocol used to control the muting and unmuting of a radio. This signaling is commonly used for selective calling of individual units or groups of units in a conventional system. In Type 99 tone systems, calls are not heard until the radio detects the proper two-tone sequence. This, in conjunction with squelch, prevents the user from hearing noise or undesired conversations. When the radio detects the second tone, it sounds the appropriate Type 99 alert tone. After the second tone stops, the receiver audio path is opened for the user to receive messages.
4.23.1 Enable/Disable Type 99
To enable Type 99: 1. Press Menu/Select button to access the main menu. 2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the CALL menu. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight T99 TOGGLE.

4.34 MDC-1200 (ANALOG CONVENTIONAL ONLY)
MDC-1200 is a legacy in-band signaling protocol that provides the radio with the ability to transmit and receive a unique PTT ID. This PTT ID can be decoded by receiving radios and displayed as a hexadecimal number or an alias string. In addition, MDC-1200 provides radios with the ability to transmit emergency status to a console. Refer to the MDC-1200 Feature Manual, 14221-72006000, for complete instructions on configuring and using this feature.
4.34.1 Normal PTT Operation
If MDC signaling on PTT press is enabled using RPM2, the radio transmits an MDC PTT ID message when PTT is pressed. If the Sidetone option is enabled using RPM2, 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.
4.34.2 MDC PTT ID Receive Handling
When the radio receives an MDC PTT ID, it searches the MDC ID Alias List for an alias associated with the ID. If one is found, it displays the alias. If none is found, the radio displays the ID in hexadecimal.
59

14221-1800-2070, Rev. A 4.34.3 Emergency Declaration
Emergency declaration is accomplished by the radio generating an MDC Emergency PTT message. An Emergency is considered acknowledged when the radio receives an “Ack To Emergency” PTT message with an ID which matches its own ID. If Emergency Audio is enabled and the PTT Sidetone option is enabled, the radio plays the Ready-to-Talk tone after the MDC Emergency PTT signaling is transmitted. · If an MDC Alert on ACK is enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone when the MDC emergency
is acknowledged. · If audio tones are enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone if the emergency is not
acknowledged within the programmed number of retries.
