X10DR ® Carry Clip Removal Two types of carry clips are available: Standard spring belt clip Part No: XSMC This is the traditional type most users are familiar with. It allows the X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone to be clipped to work vests, clothing, epaulettes, etc. For maximum performance 360º around your vehicle it is recommended that it be worn in a location that allows the antenna to protrude above you body.
Operation Description Congratulations on choosing the revolutionary X10DR® Secure 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 and out of the vehicle. X10DR stands ready to re-define mobile network design by increasing user functionality and mobility whilst dramatically improving the effectiveness of your infrastructure investment.
® How it works 60.... 150.... 300 Metres.
Basic Operation Power On & Off Usually the unit will be installed such that it powers off & on with the host mobile radio or by a manual switch fitted by your installation mechanic. You can manually turn off the X-Ponder mobile charger by pressing the front grey button for 3 seconds and the blue LED will extinguish. You can do the same on the Secure Wireless Microphone by pressing the lower grey button. The speaker mic will sound a de-escalating tone.
X10DR ® Talk Permit tone X10DR provides talk permit tones so users know when to start speaking so that words are not lost at the start of a transmission. If, the channel is busy, no channel grant or you are out of range, the user will hear the X10DR talk permit tones followed immediately by the radio BUSY or Out of Range tone. Charging Confirmation Tone X10DR provides the user with a discrete tone whenever the X10DR Secure Mic is returned to the charging cradle.
Multiple Unit Operation Up to three Secure Wireless Microphones may be connected to one radio device by use of the optional XIB Interface box accessory. Operation is identical to single user operation with the added benefit that, each party also hears each other talk when they transmit. This functionality is ideal for police: where two officers are assigned to a patrol van, or ambulance: where up to 3 paramedics can communicate at a scene as well as with their control room.
Headset Operation The 6 pin Hirose industrial connector also allows use of a variety of heavy duty and lightweight headsets and application specific audio accessories to enhance you communications capability. Use either the headset/accessory’s integral PTT or use the speaker mic PTT to transmit. The internal speaker is immediately disabled when a headset is plugged in.
Technical Notes Battery - Charging The X10DR Secure 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 10-12 hours operation between charges even on the busiest radio channels. If the battery does start to go flat a short beep will sound once every 2 minutes.
X10DR ® Replacing the battery pack When you notice the X10DR sounding a small chirp, it indicates the battery is nearly flat and should be recharged. The unit will self power down after 30 minutes when voltage drops to that 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.
Re-connection Each X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone is uniquely connected to a specific X-Ponder mobile charger. 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 disconnected from the X-Ponder mobile charger by connecting with a new replacement Secure Mic unit.
X10DR ® Antenna choice & replacements As compared to the basic internal 1/4 wave stub antenna, the XMMA magnetic mount antenna provides enhanced coverage when placed on an unobstructed area of a vehicle’s roof and should be connected via its low loss coax cable to the RP-SMA-F output on the mobile charger. MAKE SURE YOU FULLY TIGHTEN! The XRMA multipolarity antenna provides even greater coverage in multipath - non line of sight - situations.
X10DR ® Installation & Connections 1. Switched B+: Used to automatically turn on/off Secure Wireless Microphone if connected to host radio switched B+ output, if not, the user should supply manual on/off switch. Note: internal speaker microphone battery will still charge when the unit is turned off. 2. External Mic Audio: Audio from the Wireless Microphone that is to be transmitted over the host mobile radios transmitter. It is factory set for approx 80mV RMS. 3.
Alternatively, it could be driven by the radio’s unsquelch command that factors in reception of required correct CTCSS tones, etc. Internal jumpering caters for active low or high inputs. 9. Ground: DC /Digital ground connection. 13. Remote PTT: This provides a remote alternative to transmit Secure Wireless Microphone audio via the host mobile radio.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy: The unit transmits and receives radio frequency (RF) energy through its antennas. The antennas are located at the top edge of the unit.
Charging your X10DR: 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.

Do not store X10DR or any of its accessories in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
*NOTE: Range is always dependent on the local terrain and communications environment. For longer distances an external antenna should always be fitted to the vehicle. A variety of vehicle antenna configurations are available to enhance into-building penetration or, to simply extend the overall communication zone around your vehicle. Ask your dealer which antenna configuration best suits your specific application. Units operate in the 2.
