1. REGULATORY AND SAFETY INFORMATION

1.1 SAFETY CONVENTIONS

The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warning elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. L3Harris assumes no liability for the customer's failure to comply with these standards.

The WARNING symbol calls attention to a procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in personal injury. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING symbol until the conditions identified are fully understood or met.

The CAUTION symbol calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like, which, if not performed correctly or adhered to, could result in damage to the equipment or severely degrade the equipment performance.

The NOTE symbol calls attention to supplemental information, which may improve system performance or clarify a process or procedure.

1.2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION

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 - 1992 ^1 ), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
- American National Standards Institute (C95.3 - 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields - RF and Microwave.
- IC Standard RSS-102. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus (All Frequency Bands).
European Council Directive 89/391/EEC.

1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines

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	Face2
700/800 MHz(763 - 776 MHz)	0.98 in (2.5 cm)

UHF(378 - 522 MHz)	0.98 in (2.5 cm)

SAR Evaluation: 1g averaged, 50% PTT Duty Factor, Occupational/Controlled Exposure.

The information in this section provides the information needed to make the user aware of RF exposure, and what to do to assure that this radio operates within the FCC RF exposure limits.

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.

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

1.4.2 Antenna Care and Replacement

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.

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

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

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

To prevent accidental detonation of electric blasting caps, DO NOT use two-way 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

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.

4.2 BEFORE FIRST USE

Make sure the radio has:

• Fully charged battery
• Antenna attached
• Personality and radio programmed using RPM2
• Encryption keys loaded if using encrypted channels
• Personality activated

4.3 POWER ON AND SET VOLUME

The power switch and volume control are the same knob on top of the radio (see Figure 4-1). Turn the Power/Volume Knob clockwise to power on radio and increase the volume. The radio can be programmed to play an audible tone when changing the volume.

NOTE

A minimum volume level can be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low volume setting.

NOTE

The radio can be programmed to require the entry of a PIN to operate the radio. Check with your System Administrator if you forget your PIN. As the PIN is entered, an asterisk is displayed for each digit; the actual value is not displayed.

4.4 VIDA ID

VIDA ID provides the capability to provision the VIDA User Personality configured in the UAS to radios operating on P25 networks via a User Login. Each personality can contain up to 16 profiles and each profile can contain up to sixteen Talk Groups. Refer to Section 9.1 for a list of potential login and provisioning error messages and what to do if they occur.

4.4.1 User Login

User Login enables multiple radio users to pick a radio from a fleet pool and enter unique credentials to log into the P25 system. Upon successful login, the Alias associated with the radio user is displayed at various end points in the P25 system.

A user can login on up to three (3) devices simultaneously. For example, if the "same user" is logged into a portable radio and mobile radio, the P25 system can differentiate the subscribers while transparently displaying the alias to other users.

Login can be initiated by a menu option, a button programmed for user login, or by selecting a P25 system that requires login. To login manually:

1. From the UTILITY radio menu, select USER LOGIN, or press the button programmed for User Login.
2. Enter the System ID, User ID, and Password, as required.
3. Select Login.

4.4.2 Provisioning

If provisioning is enabled via radio programming and the user has successfully logged in, the VIDA User Personality configured in the UAS is provisioned to the radio. When no VIDA Provisioned database is available, the radio will operate using the RPM2-programmed personality.

4.5 RADIO DISPLAY

Figure 4-2 shows a sample front display while on the idle screen. The idle screen appears after power up or after exiting from the menus.

Figure 4-2: Sample Idle Front Display

NOTE

The radio can be programmed to display the User ID on the System line of the display.

Table 4-2 describes some of the icons that may be displayed by the radio. The radio menu also contains an icon glossary in the Utility Menu (see Section 4.7). Icons and their location can be customized using RPM2.

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).

NOTE

If enabled via radio programming, systems are not displayed in the ZONE menu, only zones are displayed.

Or

To select a zone/system via the menu:

1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the menus.
2. Use the left or right navigation buttons to display the ZONE menu. The currently selected zone/system is highlighted. A personality can have up to 512 systems and up to 250 Zones, independent of banks or channels.

Use the up or down navigation buttons to highlight the desired zone/system. Press and hold the up or down button to scroll repetitively; the menu wraps to allow quick access to a zone/system.

Enter the number of the zone/system to go directly to that selection in the list. Press the NUMERIC softkey to toggle the left, right, up, down navigation buttons to their alternate number function.

1. Press the VIEW ZONE soft key to view channels in the zone/system or select the desired zone/system using the Menu/Select button.

4.11 SELECT GROUP/CHANNEL AND BANK

The radio can be programmed with 1,250 talkgroups or 1000 channels per personality. Use the Group/Channel knob to select groups/channels 1 - 16. Use the A/B/C switch to set the bank. The selected bank is indicated on the display.

Bank A: Channel A1 - A16 (1-16)
Bank B: Channel B1 - B16 (17-32)
Bank C: Channel C1 - C16 (33-48)

If your system has more than 48 groups/channels, a button on the radio can be programmed for the SEL CHAN/GRP option. This allows you to select a "super bank," providing access to groups/channels beyond the first 48.

ZONES have a limit of 64 entries per zone and cannot be "superbanked."

Direct Channel Entry

A button on the radio can be programmed for Direct Channel Entry, which allows the user to enter the talkgroup/channel number directly from the keypad. Press the NUMERIC softkey to toggle the left, right, up, down navigation buttons to their alternate number function.

The radio can be programmed for one of the following Direct Channel Entry options:

• When a Zone is selected on the radio, Direct Channel Entry performs a lookup using the currently selected system's group list.

Or

• When a Zone is selected on the radio, Direct Channel Entry performs a lookup using the currently selected Zone's system/group list.

4.12 LOCK/UNLOCK KEYPAD

There are two levels of keypad lock available: Keypad Lock and Radio Lock. Keypad lock only locks the navigation keys (except for use in unlock), programmable softkeys, and DTMF keypad. Radio lock disables all physical keys and knobs except:

The three-position switch
- PTT

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.

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.

1. 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

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.

NOTE

The Bluetooth Speaker Mic is unaffected by this setting. PT Ting the Bluetooth Speaker Mic always results in audio being routed via the Bluetooth Speaker Mic.

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

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.

NOTE

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 "boop" deny tone. Additionally, if talkaround is disabled on a channel, the talkaround programmable button becomes inoperable and the radio boops.

To enable 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.

NOTE

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 when the radio is keyed.

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.

An increase in 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 automatically returns to normal operation.

NOTE

Emergency and special calls are not operational during Conventional Failsoft.

4.32.2 Failsoft (P25 Trunked)

When the site-link to the VNIC is down, the site is operating in Failsoft mode. Radios operating on that site can still communicate with each other, but not with the rest of the system. The radio provides a visual indicator (A! icon) on the display and plays a tone for a configured interval to indicate that the site is in Failsoft. This tone interval range is 0 to 120 seconds. This tone is not played during incoming voice or PTT.

The radio can be programmed to enable emergency mode. Unit name displays on dispatcher console if an emergency signal is received from another radio on a digital channel.

During stealth mode, the radio will not receive any type of call. Once the user presses the PTT button, the radio display and audio return to normal.

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, 14221-7200-6000, 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.

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.

4.35 WI-FI CLIENT SELECTION

XL portable radios support up to 24 different Wi-Fi networks configurable via programming, with an option to select one of the configured networks as default.

NOTE

These 24 Wi-Fi networks are considered radio administrator approved and Trusted Wi-Fi Networks (TWiN) on which the radio can operate.

4.36 STEALTH MODE

For some users, it is important to be able to turn off the radio's display lights and side tones, but not the 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 lights, indicator lights, audible alert, and 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. A button can be programmed via RPM2 to enable/disable Stealth Mode.

The following Stealth Mode options are configurable via RPM2:

• Persistence Enabled - Specify whether or not Stealth Mode persists after the radio is powered down.
• LCD Enabled - Specify if the LCD is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
  LED Enabled - Specify if the LED is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
• Backlight Enabled - Specify if the Backlight is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
• Side/Alert Tones Enabled - Specify if side tones and alert tones are enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
  Voice Annunciation Enabled - Specify if Voice Annunciation is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
• Channel/Group Knob Enabled - Specify if the Channel/Group Knob is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
• Top Display Enabled - Specify if the Top Display is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
• Top Display Minimum Brightness - When this option is enabled, the top display is enabled at the minimum brightness when the radio is in Stealth Mode.

2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the SCAN menu.
3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight SCAN Lists and press the Menu/Select button. Refer to the following sections.

When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique.

5.14.1 Default, Priority 1, and Priority 2 Channels

5.14.1.1 Default Channel

This is the currently selected channel and is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT while the radio is actively scanning and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the radio just received while scanning is called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 using RPM2, the radio always transmits on the default channel in scan.

5.14.1.2 Priority 1 Channel

This channel will be scanned more often than other channels in the list and will be scanned in between every other channel in the scan list. An example scan sequence would be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1, C4, etc. In addition, the priority channel is scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio drops C3 and switches to P1.

5.14.1.3 Priority 2 Channel

This channel is also scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence is P1, C2, P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9, etc. In addition, this channel is scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P2, the radio drops C3 and switches to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can also preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.

5.14.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning

Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional channels while still maintaining trunked radio operation. The radio can scan a conventional scan list while still receiving a trunked control channel and receiving trunked calls. Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done using RPM2 and cannot be changed on the radio. However, a user with access to the necessary menu layout (see Section 4.7) can edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and conventional channels on the selected Conventional Priority System). As the number of conventional channels being scanned increases, the time between scanning each channel increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with the consequent increase in the number of calls that will late-enter. To avoid missing calls, it is recommended to keep the number of conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer.

NOTE

The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC.

5.14.3 Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only)

If vote scan is enabled via RPM2, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the best audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always scanning. You cannot stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. The scanning icon on the idle screen indicates that the radio is vote scanning versus, regular scanning.

NOTE

If talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is disabled until talkaround is disabled again.

5.14.4 Edit Scan List

1. Press the Menu/Select button to toggle selection.

5.14.5 Set or Remove Priority 1 and Priority 2 Channels

Priority channels are scanned more often than non-priority channels. Note that P1 and P2 can only be set if configured as "Keypad" and the scan list is not set to "Fixed" using RPM2.

To set or remove priority 1 and priority 2 channels:

1. Press the Menu/Select button.
2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the SCAN menu.

5.14.6 Custom Scan Lists

The Mixed Zone Scan (MZS) feature gives the user the capability to scan based on a custom scan list that is assigned at the system level. The Custom Scan (CS) list can contain System and Channel/Group configurations across P25 Trunked, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is assigned to a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When assigned to a P25C or Analog system, the radio only scans conventional channels. MZS also gives the user the capability to scan beyond the selected system group set.

P25T Scan

When a custom scan list is assigned to a P25T system, the user can scan P25T, P25C, and Analog groups/channels. All P25T systems must have the same WACN, System ID, and Unit ID to be added to the custom scan list. If P25C and/or analog channels are added to the custom scan list, the radio will scan them using the Trunked/Conventional scan feature described in section 5.14.2, and will override any other conventional scan list that may have been programmed using RPM2.

P25C and Analog Scan

When a custom scan list is assigned to a P25C or Analog System, the user can scan P25C and Analog channels. P25T systems are ignored.

Custom scan list can be created using RPM2 or at the radio. The radio supports up to 10 Custom Scan lists, with up to 100 channels/groups in each.

For radios to be discoverable on the Wi-Fi network, your wireless router must be configured to allow Multicast (mDNS). This varies by router manufacturer; refer to your router's documentation for specific settings needed to enable Multicast (mDNS).

A.1 OVERVIEW

Perform the following to program a radio over Wi-Fi. For first time setup, see Section A.8.1.

1. Configure the Access Point (Section A.2).
2. Configure the personality (Section A.3).
3. Configure the RPM2 application (Section A.4).
4. Put the radio in Wi-Fi Programming Mode (Section A.5).
5. Discovery and programming in the RPM2 application (Section A.6).
6. Support for Enterprise Wireless Networks (Section A.7).
7. Helpful Hints (Section A.8).

A.2 CONFIGURE THE ACCESS POINT

• Setup an Access Point (wireless router) as follows. The bold values provided below are the default values in the personality.

Wireless Networking Name (SSID): harrisradios
Shared Key (Network Password): password
Wireless Authentication/Security Mode (Encryption Type): WPA

WPA and WPA2-PSK are the available Encryption Types in the RPM2 application

• Ensure that the Access Point has Multicast (mDNS) enabled. See the second note at the top of Appendix A for more information.

A.3 CONFIGURE THE PERSONALITY

For a radio to be programmed over Wi-Fi, the active personality on the radio must be configured for connecting with the values that were set in Section A.2. The following steps detail how to configure an existing radio personality.

1. In the personality, navigate to OPTIONS Network Configuration.

Figure A-1: Options Network Configuration

1. Under the Wi-Fi Configuration section, set the Encryption Type, Network (SSID), and Network Password.

NOTE

XL radios support up to 24 different Wi-Fi networks (SSIDs). These 24 Wi-Fi networks are considered radio administrator approved and Trusted Wi-Fi Networks (TWiN) on which the radios can operate.

Figure A-2: Wi-Fi Configuration

1. Under Network Service Configuration, the default values can remain the same. If the wireless network is managed by another department, please coordinate with them to get it setup correctly.

The Network Discovery Configuration Service Name is a Unique name used by RPM2 and radios to communicate with each other. There is more information about this in Section A.8.2.

Figure A-3: Service Name

1. After the personality is configured and saved, write it to the radio and then activate it.

A.4 CONFIGURE THE RPM2 APPLICATION

To ensure that RPM2 can discover radios over Wi-Fi, ensure that the Enable Wi-Fi checkbox is checked on the RPM2 Preferences screen as shown in Figure A-4. This checkbox is unchecked by default.

Figure A-4: Enable Wi-Fi in RPM2

Also, as shown in Figure A-4, the Service Name must be updated to reference the value in the active personalities for the radios you need to discover. See #3 in Section A.3 and Section A.8.2 for more information.

For default operation using the network as described in Section A.2, no other configuration of the radio or RPM2 is required.

A.5 PUT THE RADIO IN WI-FI PROGRAMMING MODE

To put the radio in Wi-Fi programming mode:

1. Turn the radio off and remove the programming cable (optional).
2. Press and hold the middle side button and PTT button (see Figure 5-1).
3. Power on the radio while continuing to hold the buttons.
4. Release the buttons when the WIFI INSTALL ACTIVE screen appears on the radio.
5. Initially, the radio displays DISCONNECTED. When the IP address is displayed, the radio is available to be programmed.

Figure A-5: Enable Wi-Fi Programming Mode on Radio

Refer to Section 4.35 for Wi-Fi Client selection information.

A.6 DISCOVERY AND PROGRAMMING IN THE RPM2 APPLICATION

1. Start RPM2.
2. Disconnect the radio from the programming cable.
3. Select the Radio tab and click the Wi-Fi connection button
4. When the Wi-Fi connection button is pressed, a "Discovering Wi-Fi Radios" message is displayed for several seconds and the radios connected to that access point with that Service Name populate the connection list.

To connect over Wi-Fi, the currently active personality MUST have the correct Wi-Fi parameters. Therefore, care must be taken that all personalities on a given radio have the correct Wi-Fi parameters for the desired network. Otherwise, activation of another personality on the radio will result in the inability to establish a Wi-Fi connection.

1. Select a radio or radios and perform the desired action. Only Read Personality, Write Personality, and Load Code are supported over Wi-Fi. See the table below for the supported combinations.

Table 11-1: Wi-Fi Feature Support

	SINGLE RADIO	MULTIPLE RADIOS (UP TO 16)
Read Single Personality	Yes	No
Read Multiple Personalities	Yes	No
Write Single Personality	Yes	Yes
Write Multiple Personalities	No	No
Load Single Code File	Yes	Yes
Load Multiple Code Files	Yes	Yes
Voice Annunciation	No	No
Feature Data	Yes	Yes
Radio Name	Yes	No
Install Splash Screen	Yes	Yes

1. In the Status Panel, all Wi-Fi related actions will have the prefix of "WIFI."

To help in displaying the radios, the "Connection" and "IP Address" columns are sortable.

NOTE

If the Access Point is not configured to the default values from Section A.2 and the active personality in the radio is removed, the radio loses connection to the Access Point and must be connected via the programming cable to write/activate a personality to reconnect to the Access Point.

A.7 RPM2 WI-FI SUPPORT FOR ENTERPRISE NETWORKS.

Enterprise Networks have certain limitations when it comes to Discovering/Programming Radios in RPM2. There is a 4500 second (75 minute) caching affect inherent to implementation with the Cisco® Wi-Fi solution that utilizes the Access Point (AP)/Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) components. Radios remain 'seen' in RPM2 even after the radio leaves Wi-Fi or is turned off. It is cached in RPM2 for 4500 seconds. This issue has only been observed with the Cisco AP and WLC solution; however, other enterprise wireless solutions may observe this caching affect. Operation with a lower tiered Wi-Fi router that does not operate with a WLC will likely not observe this behavior. Please see the Software Release Notes for Media Kit SK-019007-001 (14221-3100-8110) for more information.

A.8 HELPFUL HINTS

A.8.1 Initial Setup and Configuration

Since radio discovery is dependent on if Multicast (mDNS) messages are being received by RPM2, it is best to keep things as simple as possible. Here are the suggested steps if this is being setup and configured for the first time.

1. Configure the Access Point with the default personality values provided in Section A.2.
2. Create a basic personality with a single system, set and channel, write it to the radio and activate it.
3. Complete Sections A.4 through A.6.

If the radio was not discovered in RPM2 but an IP address is displayed on the radio screen as seen in Figure A-5, this may mean that the Multicast (mDNS) messages are not making it through the Access Point. Consult the Access Point's manual and make sure that those messages are not being filtered out.

A.8.2 Grouping Radios by Service Name

One benefit of using a unique Service Name is that it allows the user to create logical groupings of radios to reduce the number of radios discovered in RPM2 and help reduce the overhead of keeping track of which radios have been configured.

For example, if there are 100 radios in Wi-Fi programming mode (see Section A.5) with the same Service Name, all 100 radios are displayed in the Radio tab after discovery has been completed. This makes it difficult to select and program multiple radios simultaneously. However, if the Service Name in the active personality on 16 of the radios are set to something unique like "fire1" and the RPM2 application Service Name (see Section A.4) is also updated to "fire1," only those radios with a Service Name of "fire1" are discovered and displayed in the Radio tab.

APPENDIX B SCBA BLUETOOTH CONFIGURATION

NOTE

Refer to the vendor documentation for your SCBA for device-specific programming and configuration instructions.

This appendix provides radio configuration instructions to enable Bluetooth pairing with SCBA.

Refer to RPM2 User's Manual 14221-1100-2060 as necessary when performing the steps in this section.

1. Open RPM2.
2. Ensure a Radio Name is programmed.

a. Select the Radio Tab Personality Tab.
b. Click the button and enter the radio name. The radio name can be up to 16 characters long.

1. Select Audio Settings from the Personality Rail.
2. Under Audio Menu Settings, ensure Speaker is checked.

1. Under OPTIONS Audio Settings PTT Options, check PTT and select Accessory Only.

1. (Optional) Configure Automatic Level Control (ALC). Enabling ALC uses proprietary L3Harris algorithms to adjust and level audio to compensate for users who speak loudly or speak softly to be heard at nearly the same level.

NOTE

Requires RPM2 R6A or later and XLP R6A or later. Consult with your L3Harris radio technician before adjusting any of these settings.

a. Select OPTIONS Audio Settings Bluetooth Microphone.
b. Check (enable) ALC.
c. Set ALC Max Gain to desired level (Default = 6 dB; Range = 0 dB to +12 dB in 1 dB increments). This setting allows the user to set the maximum gain applied by the ALC feature for transmitted voice. Higher gain settings increase the chance for acoustic feedback.
d. Set Mic Gain to desired level (Default = 16 dB; Range = -16 dB to +16 dB in 1 dB increments). This setting allows the user to set the Mic Gain for the Bluetooth External Microphone (baseline before ALC).

1. Select OPTIONS Bluetooth Settings and check Bluetooth Enabled. Ensure MITM Protection Required is unchecked.

1. Program a radio button or switch for Bluetooth Enable/Disable:

a. Select OPTIONS Portable Programmable Buttons or Programmable Switches.
b. Select Bluetooth Enable/Disable from the drop-down of the desired button/switch.

1. Write the personality to the radio.

C.3 PROTECTED KEYS

The Protected Keys feature transfers P25 Voice Keys, from Key Loader to the radio, that have been wrapped (AES) or encrypted (DES) with Key Protection Keys (KPKs). KPKs are unprotected Key Encryption Keys (KEKs). The KPKs need to be loaded into the radio before the Protected Keys are loaded. Once loaded into the radio, the KPKs are used to unwrap (AES) or decrypt (DES) the Protected Keys.

The radio must be placed into the key loading mode (see Section C.2.2) in order to accept the KPKs and P25 Voice Keys.
