14221-1500-2000 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. Harris Corporation assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these standards.
14221-1500-2000 2 SAFETY TRAINING INFORMATION WARNING The Harris XG-25P 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.
14221-1500-2000 • As noted in Table 2-1, ALWAYS keep the device and its antenna AT LEAST 1.5 cm (0.59 inches) from the body and at least 2.5 cm (1.0 inch) from the face when transmitting to ensure FCC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends you hold the microphone at least 5 cm (2 inches) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.
14221-1500-2000 3 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.
14221-1500-2000 3.1.3 WARNING 3.1.4 WARNING 3.1.5 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!! 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.
14221-1500-2000 4 BATTERIES The XG-25P series portable radios use rechargeable, recyclable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH), Lithium Polymer (Li-Poly), or Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) batteries. Please read carefully, the battery information provided, to maximize the useful life of each type of battery. 4.1 WARNING Do not disassemble or modify Lithium battery packs. Lithium battery packs are equipped with built-in safety and protection features.
14221-1500-2000 4.2 CHARGING BATTERY PACKS Battery chargers are available from Harris with nominal charge times. Combinations include single and multi-position charge units. Harris chargers are specifically designed for charging nickel-based and lithium battery packs. The chargers are chemistry-specific for the battery packs and automatically adjust the charging profiles accordingly. Refer to the appropriate charger manual for specific operating instructions.
221-1500-2000 3. Remove the battery pack from the radio. Figure 4-1: Removing the Battery Pack 4.4.2 Attaching the Battery Pack Make sure the power to the radio is turned off. 1. Align the tabs at each side on the bottom of the battery pack with the slots at the bottom of the battery cavity . 2. Push the top of the battery pack down until the latches click to attach the battery to the radio. 3. Tug gently to verify that the latches are secure and the battery pack is properly attached to the radio.
14221-1500-2000 4.5 BATTERY DISPOSAL In no instance should a battery be incinerated. Disposing of a battery by burning will cause an explosion. CAUTION RECHARGEABLE BATTERY PACK DISPOSAL – The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream.
14221-1500-2000 5 INTRODUCTION The XG-25P is available in two models: the Scan model with a limited 6-button front-mounted keypad and the System model with a 15-button DTMF front-mounted keypad. The Harris XG-25P portable radio delivers end-to-end encrypted digital voice and IP data communications.
