Press to activate the selected profile. 8.16 CHANGING THE SELECTED TALK GROUP Each profile stored in the radio can have up to 16 talk groups. One talk group within the currently active profile is set as the “selected talk group.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.19 ADJUSTING SIDE TONE AUDIO LEVEL The radio sounds confirming tones called “side tones” when its buttons are pressed. Most users find this audible confirmation helpful when navigating the menus. Side tone audio level can be adjusted or turned completely off using the “Side Menu” or the Quick Key combination #4. Quick Key combination #4 turns off the backlight in addition to the side tones. Unlike Stealth Mode, alert tones can still be heard.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.21.1 Receiving a Voice Call No action is required to receive a voice call. The display responds to incoming voice calls as follows: • When the dwell display is set to received talk group and the scan mode is Normal or Fixed: a. If the received talk group matches the selected talk group, then the alias (if available) or user ID of the incoming caller is displayed. b. If the received talk group does not match the selected talk group, then the received talk group name is displayed.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K NOTE Lock out is a listening (receive) function and only blocks received calls on locked out talk groups. Lock out does not affect transmit capability. “No Scan” and “Lock Out” do not apply to recent emergency lock outs. Only talk groups in the active profile can be locked out, since they are the only talk groups whose voice calls can be heard on the radio. Talk group lock out is a scan-related feature.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K The choice of scanning mode broadens or narrows the span of communications with all the groups in profiles you listen to, but does not affect your interaction with those groups you talk with. The scanning modes available for selection may be limited to a subset of the three scanning modes by the administrator. Table 8-8: Scan Modes SCAN MODE None Normal (Default) Fixed EXPLANATION Eliminates distractions. Full communications (listen and talk) with the selected talk group.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. K Selective calls are terminated if an emergency is declared. The network limits selective calls to 10 minutes maximum. NOTE If a Selective Call is attempted without registration, “No Priv” is displayed. NOTE 8.25.1 Manually Dialing a Selective Call (System Model Only) 1. Enter *8, the User ID number of the user being called, and the # key (no dashes or spaces). Note that this feature must be enabled by the administrator.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.25.2 Selective Call Using Speed Dial Speed dial numbers are defined and provisioned by the OpenSky network administrator and cannot be manually entered into the radio by the user. Contact the administrator if changes to the speed dial list are required. NOTE • Scroll through the Menu options using the or button until “Speed Dial” appears in the second line of the display.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.26.1 Defining Messages All selective alert messages are pre-defined. The messages are programmed and provisioned remotely by your OpenSky system administrator. The radio user cannot create selective alert message content. The entire selective alert message, including the abbreviation, can be up to 99 characters long. Table 8-10 lists and defines the messages that may be displayed by the radio during a Selective Alert.

14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.28 EMERGENCY COMMUNICATIONS The XG-25P portable radio is capable of sending an emergency alert and making emergency calls on the network. The OpenSky system handles emergency calls with the highest priority, allowing you or the people you serve to get needed help. Emergency call and alert capability for a profile is configured by the system administrator. The radio that initiates an emergency alert emits a signal of three distinct beeps that only goes to the dispatch console.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K If the attempt is unsuccessful, “E-PEND” flashes periodically and a retry is queued for 10 seconds. If unsuccessful because of lost sync, retry occurs immediately upon reacquiring sync. On each retry attempt, the radio temporarily displays “E-RETRY.” This process repeats until the emergency is successfully declared. 8.28.2 Receiving an Emergency Call When receiving an emergency call, the radio sounds the emergency tone (three short high-pitched tones).
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.29 OPENSKY ENCRYPTION In the OpenSky network, both data and voice use a 128-bit or 256-bit key encryption standard published by the Federal Information Processing Service (FIPS), called Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). AES is approved by the U.S. Department of Commerce for encryption of classified materials. When encryption is enabled on the network, data is encrypted from the MDIS to the Mobile End System (MES) (e.g., XG-25P portable radio).
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K NOTE The key must be pre-determined by the users prior to making a manually encrypted call on a talk group and is entered into the radio using the keypad. For 128 bit encryption, this key is between 1 and 16 digits. For 256 bit encryption, this key is between 17 and 32 digits. 8.29.2.1 Using Manual Encryption 1. Press *32 on the keypad. 2. Enter the key (1 – 16 digits for 128 bit encryption; 17 – 32 digits for 256 bit encryption). 3. Press #. 4.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 3. Press the button to send the currently selected message. If no messages have been configured, no message is sent and an error tone sounds. Press or to cancel status message selection. 8.31 REQUEST TO TALK (RTT) MESSAGES If enabled via programming, the RTT message feature allows you to send a short service message to the VNIC. Section 8.31.1 describes how to send an RTT message via the keypad and Section 8.31.2 describes how to send an RTT message via the menu.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.33 GPS COORDINATES The radio’s current latitude and longitude coordinates may be displayed using the “GPS” menu. The following procedure assumes a GPS antenna is connected to the radio and it is receiving adequate signals from GPS satellites. 1. Press or until the “GPS” menu appears in the display. Current GPS coordinate latitude and longitude data continuously scrolls in the top line of the display in a degrees:minutes:seconds format. 2.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.34.3 Radio Limitations Using Extended Coverage Modes Connecting a portable radio to a V-TAC introduces minor functional limitations. See the following sections for a listing. 8.34.3.1 Limitations Using XCOV, XCOV-TG, and XCOV-PROF Portable radios connected to the V-TAC using any of the Extended Coverage Modes, XCOV, XCOV-TG, or XCOV-PROF, will not channel-scan unless they lose radio frequency contact with the V-TAC. If manually enabled, radios will not scan network channels. 8.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K 8.34.5 Use XCOV-TG Mode When using the XCOV-TG mode, up to 30 client radios can connect to the V-TAC. However, unlike XCOV, radios connected using XCOV-TG are limited to communicating only on the XCOV-TG talk group. The radio can only raise an emergency if this talk group is emergency capable. Advanced features such as selective calling and mobile data operations are not available to the XCOV-TG connected clients.
14221-1500-2000, Rev. K • The client profile used to connect to the V-TAC must have been previously provisioned to the client prior to connection. If the profile is not in the client’s personality, the client cannot connect to the VTAC. • Neither the V-TAC nor a client can change the profile once it has entered XCOV-PROF mode. The Profile menu will be disabled. • Client global profiles are disabled. 8.34.6.

The radio then prompts the user to edit the band. Table 8-12 lists valid bands and their definitions. Press or to edit the number assigned to the frequency band and press to confirm and enter the SOI mode. Use the Client Mode menu to return to normal operation (Network Mode).
