The XG-100M mobile radio supports the CH-721 Control Head which is available in System and Scan
models. The display is designed to maximize readability and ease of use. The CH-721 utilizes a 3-line 12-
character alphanumeric display with large buttons, volume knob, and channel knob, providing a user-
friendly interface.
For remote mount installations configured with a CH-721 control head, all normal radio operations and
interfaces can be handled via the control head connected to the radio unit via a 3-wire Controller Area
Network (CAN) cable. Two CH-721 control heads may be attached to the XG-100M. Each control head
provides a serial access point for data and any one (only one at a time) can be connected to a data device
such as a personal computer.
Where multiple control heads are connected or where a dash-mount radio is installed with an additional
remote control head, the following features are available from both positions:
• Either control head can initiate a call but only one can talk at a time. The other connected control
head hears both sides of the conversation.
• Incoming and outgoing audio can be heard.
• Independent audio control is available.
• Radio settings such as talk group, scan mode etc., can be controlled by either control head.
• Comfort settings, such as volume and display brightness that are applicable to the individual control
head can be adjusted and cannot be overridden by the other control head.
