**** IMPORTANT

This product is designed to radiate low levels of radio energy in accordance with global government approved regulatory standards. It features Adaptive Power Output. APO automatically adjusts the RF power output in accordance with signal required. This features limits and reduces extraneous radiated radio energy. This also helps minimize battery consumption and extends battery shift life.

Do not touch the antenna when operational. Keep Handset antenna 25mm (1”) or more away from your face and body to ensure exposure levels remain at or below the maximum levels. Keep your body at least 20cm/8” from external antennas connected to the gateway mobile charger unit.

ANTENNA CONNECTION

ALWAYS ATTACH THE ANTENNA OR SMA CABLE CONNECTOR FIRMLY TO THE GATEWAY CRADLE ANTENNA PORT BEFORE CONNECTING XMC-RJ45/XIC-1.5 INTERFACE CABLE.

The standard supplied XMCA 1/4 wave stub antenna, can be fitted directly to the base of the X10DR Lite Gateway cradle when only limited range is required. For optimum range performance it should be mounted on the supplied L Bracket and placed on an unobstructed area of a vehicle roof rack, fender, or similar and connected via the supplied low loss coax cable kit to the RP-SMA-F output on the mobile charger.

Alternatively, a high performance XMPA muti-polarity roof mount antenna is approved and available as an accesory for those who require enhanced “non line of sight” coverage. Keep your body at least 20cm away from vehicle mounted external antenna� See page18 for other important details.

Operational Description

Congratulations on choosing the revolutionary X10DR® Lite Wireless Microphone. Pronounced “extender”. This incredibly compact, lightweight personal accessory extends the power of the mobile radio to the palm of your hand, whether in or out of the vehicle. X10DR has since its launch in 2012 redefined mobile network design by increasing user 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 Lite simply cuts the cord and puts the microphone and radio system access into the palm of the users hand when away from the vehicle, delivering true mobility without system compromise. Users can feel totally confident their private communications are kept secure due to the smart and secure 64 bit encryption functionality.

X10DR Lite unleashes the power of your mobile radio allowing wireless communication with a fixed located or vehicle mounted radio: up to 300 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.

Finally, if you go out of range, the blue LED will flash and the unit will sound a warning tone if you press the PTT button so you know to move back into your communication zone or to be simply aware. This ability to now communicate whilst outside your vehicle significantly enhances a safer and more secure work environment for everyone who carries an X10DR Lite Wireless Microphone.

Basic Operation

Power On & Off
Turn off the gateway charger by pressing the front grey button for 3 seconds and the blue LED will extinguish. Turn off the handset by pressing the grey PTT button while simultaneously pressing the two blue buttons below it. The microphone will sound a de-escalating tone. To power on the gateway, press the grey button, releasing the button once the LED lights. To power on the microphone simply place it into a powered on gateway and it will sound an escalating tone. The blue LED on both units will flash for a few seconds and then go solid once they’re connected.

Volume Control
First ensure your mobile radio’s volume is set to a comfortable listening level. You may then adjust the handset volume by pressing the top blue button to increase or the bottom button to decrease. There are 5 listening levels. The minimum level is not zero but is designed so you can still quietly hear radio traffic and not inadvertently turn off the audio.

Transmitting/Receiving
Use like any two way radio speaker microphone i.e. press the large grey PTT button to talk and release to listen. A short talk permit tone sequence will sound when activated. Speak with a normal strong clear voice about 2-3 cm from the microphone port. Do not yell as this causes loss of clarity.

Out of Range Indication
X10DR Lite provides the user with feedback should the user move out of range from their vehicle. If you walk out of range the blue status LED will flash. If you then push the PTT an alert tone will sound to let you know your call is not getting thru. NB, you may find you need to walk back about 10 meters closer to your vehicle to re-connect – Blue status light will then glow solid.

Charging Confirmation Tone
X10DR provides the user with a discrete tone whenever the X10DR handset is returned to the charging cradle. This discrete chirp ensures the user has a positive indication that the X10DR handset is charging and seated correctly in the cradle.

IMPORTANT – READ THIS

Audio adjustments

Qualified service personnel only!

When installing the X10DR system you may need to first carefully adjust the transmit and receive audio levels via the trimpots on the bottom of the gateway using a jewellers miniature screwdriver for optimum transmit and receive volume.

TRANSMIT: while listening on another radio, talk into the handset and adjust VR1 so it sounds the same volume and clarity as the host mobiles wired microphone.

RECEIVE: Using another radio, talk into its microphone and adjust VR2 so that the audio received thru the X10DR speaker is loud and clear with the X10DR Volume turned up near maximum.

Re-connection – Pairing

Each X10DR Lite Wireless Microphone is uniquely connected to a specific Gateway mobile charger in the factory. This ensures that all communications between the two units are secure and cannot be compromised or interfered with by a third party. In the event of a Secure Wireless Microphone being lost, it can be permanently erased from the Gateway by master resetting. You can do this by turning it off and then holding the On button for about 10 seconds until the LED momentary blinks. It is now ready to pair with a new handset. How to pair: hold the powered on handset while pressing both the blue volume controls until the blue LED flashes and the handset beeps. (~8 secs.) Now place the handset back into the gateway. After a few seconds the handset will sound confirmation tones and the blue LED on both units will glow solid to indicate connection is complete.

Battery – Charging

The X10DR Lite Wireless Microphone should be charged overnight before initial use. Thereafter it may be left in the charger unit between calls, or may be worn all day and placed back at the end of the work day. The unit is designed to provide about 15-24 hours operation between charges even on the busiest radio channels. On quiet channels it can last up to 3-4 days. When the battery does start to go flat, a short beep will sound once every 2 minutes. It will then automatically power down after 30 minutes, so you should plan to re- charge the unit as soon as is practical once the chirps are heard.

A fully discharged battery will typically recharge in less than 3-4 hours, or less if only partially discharged. The battery will re-charge even if the mobile charger unit has been turned off providing the cradle has been correctly wired. The microphone’s blue status light will indicate charging mode.

When the microphone is correctly seated in the X-Ponder cradle it will sound a double beep and then its LED will momentarily ‘blink’ every 10 seconds while in charge mode. The blink will end when the battery is near full capacity.

Simply place the mic into charging cradle and the X10DR Lite will beep to show correct placement.

NB: do not allow debris to fill the pocket as it may prevent the microphone from making contact with the charging pins Keep all liquids well away from the charging cradle at all times.

Replacing the battery pack

When you notice the X10DR sounding a small chirp every couple of minutes, it indicates the battery is nearly flat and should be re-charged. The unit will self power down after about 30 minutes when voltage drops to the minimum level. When you notice this occurring far more often than usual, it may mean it is time for the battery to be replaced.

Like all re-chargeable products, periodic replacement of the internal battery is required. The X10DR Lite Wireless Microphone features a high capacity Lithium Ion battery. To maximize the life of a Lithium battery its is better to keep it topped up by returning it to the charger often rather than waiting for it to first go flat – which was the opposite case with older nickel based batteries. Typically you can expect to get about 500 re-charge cycles before the battery will require replacement.

The process is simple and should only take your radio service supplier about 5 minutes to replace and test. Replacement of the battery should be ONLY undertaken by a qualified service technician so as to ensure no damage occurs to internal circuitry and to ensure the housing’s weatherproof integrity is not compromised. The new replacement battery part number is: XSMB-C14: 1450mA Lithium Polymer battery�

After replacement, the X10DR Lite Wireless Microphone should be first placed back into the mobile charger and charged for 4 hours prior to commencement of use. (In some rare cases it may also need to be “re-connected” to the mobile gateway charging unit)

X10DR Lite RJ45 interface Specification

RJ45 Interface Pinouts

1. Power: connected via a 1 amp in-line fuse preferably direct to a vehicle’s 12V battery via a 11 ohm series resistor but can be any voltage source from about 10-16VDC. Current consumption is typically 60mA/Max current <200mA.
   Note: internal speaker microphone battery will still charge when the unit is turned off.

2. Not used

3. Receive Audio: Receive audio from the host mobile radio that you wish to be sent to the Wireless Microphone. Ideally, it should be sourced pre-volume control but can be post, as long as the host mobile radio’s speaker audio has first been sent for a comfortable listening level in the vehicle. If required Adjust VR2 for desired maximum volume. VR2 is preset for ~100mVRMS input.

4. External Mic Audio: Audio from the Wireless Microphone that is to be transmitted over the host mobile radios transmitter. It is factory set for nominally 80mV RMS. IMPORTANT: If required Adjust VR1 so X10DR audio matches the level from the radio’s mobile mic. VR1 is preset for 80-100mVRMS output.

5. Radio Mic Lo: This is microphone audio ground.

6. COR/squelch/audio unmute: Input designed to monitor the receive status of the host mobile radio. Ideally, it is driven by an “audio unmute” switched ground command in the host mobile. i.e. when the radio’s speaker unmutes to pass audio then the COR input should toggle to ground in sync. Where radio COR status is not available, the X10DRs voice detect circuit in most cases allows satisfactory operation.

7. Ext PTT: Switched ground output designed to cause the host mobile radio to transmit.

8. Not used
   Shield. Ground: DC /Digital ground connection.

Types of antennas is not included in this list, having a higher gain than the maximum gain indicated this type are strictly prohibited for use with this device and will void type approval.

Proper Care & Handling Information

Charging your X10DR Lite :
To charge X10DR, use only the WCL mobile or desktop charger. When you use the WCL desktop charger to charge X10DR, make sure that the power adapter is fully assembled before you plug it into a power outlet. Then insert the WCL AC/DC plug pack firmly into the power outlet. Do not connect or disconnect the WCL AC/DC plug pack with wet hands. The WCL AC/DC plug pack may become warm during normal use. Always allow adequate ventilation around the WCL AC/DC plug pack and use care when handling. Unplug the WCL AC/DC plug pack if any of the following conditions exist:

1. The power cord or plug has become frayed or damaged.
2. The adapter is exposed to rain, liquid, or excessive moisture.
3. The adapter case has become damaged.
4.  You suspect the adapter needs service or repair.
5. You want to clean the adapter.

Cleaning your X10DR Lite :
Clean X10DR immediately if it comes into contact with any contaminants that may cause possible malfunctions—for example, ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, and lotions. To clean X10DR, unplug all cables and turn off X10DR (press and hold the manual On/Off button). Then use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Don’t use abrasive household or industrial cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia to clean X10DR.

Connectors and Press Buttons:
Never force a connector into a port or apply excessive pressure to a button, because this may cause damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port don’t join with reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for obstructions and make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Acceptable Temperature Extremes:
X10DR is designed to be normally operated and stored in temperatures between -20º and 55ºC (-4º to 122ºF). Lower or higher temperatures might shorten battery life or cause X10DR to temporarily stop working correctly. Leaving X10DR in a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight can cause X10DR to exceed these storage or operating temperature ranges. Avoid dramatic changes in temperature or humidity when using X10DR, as condensation may form within the unit. When you’re using X10DR or charging the battery, it is normal for X10DR to get warm. Battery will only charge when its ambient temperature is within safe limits.

Driving Safely:
Use of X10DR while driving a vehicle or riding a motorbike may be distracting. If you find using X10DR disruptive or distracting while driving or riding, pull off the road and park before making or answering a call. Use of X10DR while driving or riding is not recommended and is illegal in some countries. Check and obey the laws and regulations regarding the use of mobile devices like X10DR in the areas where you drive or ride.

Air Bag Equipped Vehicles:
An air bag inflates with great force. Do not store X10DR or any of its accessories in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.

Carrying and handling X10DR:
X10DR contains sensitive components. Do not drop, disassemble, microwave, burn, paint, or insert foreign objects into X10DR. Do not use X10DR if it has been damaged—for example, if X10DR is cracked, punctured, or damaged by water.
