Introduction

How it works

SECURE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION

via your vehicle’s mobile radio

....up to 500 meters.

Your

mobile

Wearing the X10DR Secure Mic

Note: Your X10DR will perform best

when worn with the antenna protruding

above your shoulder. Different types

of carry clips are available. Rare earth

magnets lock secure microphones into

the gateway mobile charging cradle.

XLMC Long mount clip

(default) Replacement part No: XLMC-RK

This general purpose type features a

strong large spring belt clip which allows

the X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone

to be securely clipped to all types of

industrial work vests, jackets, leather

clothing, thick epaulettes and winter

clothing etc.

XSMC Short mount clip

Replacement part No: XSMC-RK

Designed for electrical utilities working

amongst high tension power lines.

Except for minimal metal components, it

features all polymer parts to prevent high

voltage spark leakage while allowing

the X10DR Microphone to be safely

clipped to lightweight safety vests, work

attire, uniforms and epaulettes, etc.

XVMC Velcro® mount clip

Replacement part No: XVMC-RK

The Velcro mount type features a

Velcro “hook” disc on the back of the

microphone. A matching supplied

Velcro “loop” patch should be ideally

sewn or pinned to the users work attire/

vest in the shoulder area to allow the

antenna to protrude above.

Wear on your shoulder

for best performance

Power On & Off

The X10DR will power off & on in synch with the host mobile radio or by

a manual switch tted by your installation mechanic. You can manually

turn off the gateway mobile charger by pressing the front grey button for

5 seconds and the blue LED will extinguish. You can do the same on the

Secure Wireless Microphone by pressing the red side button. The secure

mic will sound a de-escalating tone. To power On, do the same, releasing

the button once the LED lights. The secure mic will sound an escalating

tone. The blue LED on both units will ash momentarily and then go solid

once they’re connected. (if not, please refer Device Pairing page 15)

Volume Control

When you rst activate the unit you should rst adjust the secure mic

volume to a comfortable listening level. You may adjust the volume by

pressing the blue buttons to increase or the bottom to decrease. There

are 5 listening levels. The minimum level is not zero but is designed so you

can still quietly hear radio trafc and not inadvertently turn off all audio.

Transmitting/Receiving

Use like any two way radio speaker microphone i.e. press the large PTT

button to talk and release to listen. Speak with a normal strong clear voice

about 1-2cm (<1”) from the microphone port. Do not yell as this causes

loss of clarity.

Handsfree ( Elite Model Factory Option)

Your X10DR can be congured so that up to ve X10DR devices can

be congured to communicate local, “off-net” in handsfree mode in

talkaround. Handsfree mode requires use of an earpiece or ideally, a

headset for optimum audio performance. To enable handsfree mode

quick double press the talkaround button, a unique tone wil sound and

you will hear yourself speak in the earpiece. To reset simply press PTT or

Talkaroud button again. See page 13 for more details.

Basic Operation

Up to 500 meters and more

Talkaround

Your X10DR can be congured so that up to eight X10DR devices can be

connected to the one mobile radio. Use Talkaround to talk to other users

sharing your mobile radio without the audio being transmitted over the

radio channel whilst continuing to be able to monitor all communications

over the radio system.

Control - Secondary PTT

In some applications your X10DR may be connected to two mobile radios,

or a mobile radio and a satellite link or perhaps your vehicle’s Public

Address systems. In these situations the top centre button can be used

as a secondary PTT button to communicate over the secondary device.

Talk Permit tones

X10DR can provide talk permit tones* so users know when to start speaking

so that words are not lost at the start of a transmission. The tones can be

enabled individually, 3 short chirps when you press the main PTT, 2 chirps

for Secondary or Talkaround PTT. If you are out of range of your vehicle,

the user will hear the X10DR’s Out of Range tone.

Out of Range Indication

X10DR provides the user with audible feedback should the user move

out of range from their vehicle. Note: if you walk out of range the blue

status LED will ash to visually indicate you have lost connection with

your vehicle. If you then push the PTT an alert tone will sound to let you

know your call is not getting though. Pressing the Talkaround function or

emergency button when “out of range” will provide a similar indication.

Depending on your location, you may nd you need to walk back several

meters closer to your vehicle to re-connect and the blue status light will

then glow solid again. Additionally, on Elite Models out of range can be

remotely indicate via the gateway interface to allow other devices to

remotely detect whether the user is within range of their vehicle or not.

This system feature is usually used with a XSJB Smart Junction Box.

Charging Conrmation Tone

X10DR provides the user with a discrete tone whenever the X10DR Secure

Mic is returned to the charging cradle. This discrete alert ensures the user

has a positive indication that the X10DR Secure Mic is charging and seated

correctly in the cradle. The X10DR microphone blue LED momentary

blinks every 10 seconds while charging inside the cradle. The LED remains

constant when fully charged.

Emergency

The emergency button can be used to trigger and reset the emergency

function in your suitably equipped mobile radio. It can be congured so

that the time you hold the button is the time your mobile radio registers

the emergency command. So if your radio requires you to hold the front

panel emergency button for 2 secs, then you should hold the Wireless

Microphone emergency button for 2 seconds. A short beep* will sound

when the emergency (orange) button is pressed.

Advanced Emergency Operation (Elite Models only)

X10DR Elite models provide additional emergency signalling capability

including sending alert tones locally to other units in multi-unit installations

and over the network with or without optional Live Mic. Live Mic sends user

Mic audio for a pre-programmed duration with higher audio gain so others

monitoring can ascertain the nature of the emergency. This is followed

by a receive wait time before repeating the cycle however many times

was desired. Alternatively, where the console operator is able to remotely

monitor a mobile, the X10DR Mic can be programmed to facilitate this

remote audio monitoring for a pre-determined time. Emergency can be

reset by pressing the emergency button for another two seconds.

Earpiece Operation

X10DR provides the user with a weather protected (Elite models

waterproof) 3.5mm earpiece jack to allow use of a range of earpiece

styles to suit individual user preferences while ensuring call privacy.

Plugging in an earpiece disables the internal loudspeaker. Elite models

are not waterproof with the protective cap removed or if damaged.

Find Me™

X10DR’s Find Me feature allows a lost unit or its user to be audibly located

by sounding a loud continuous alert tone thru the Secure Mic. To activate

press the gateway function button for 2 seconds. The loud alert tone will

immediately start to sound. It can be deactivated by the user momentarily

pressing any button on the Secure Mic or at the vehicle by momentarily

pressing the gateway’s function button. Note if the Secure Mic is out of

range it will immediately sound the alert tone once it reconnects. Function

can be enabled/disabled by eld programmer.

Radio Off Alert

Once the X10DR is powered on should the attached host mobile radio

be turned off for any reason the user will be alerted as soon as the secure

mic is removed from the cradle with an out of range tone. This automatic

alerting ensures users know their mobile radio is active when away from

the vehicle.

Stealth Mode

For special applications the Secure Mic’s Blue LED on the front of the Secure

Mic can be temporarily disabled along with all audible alert tones. This is

achieved by holding down the VOLUME UP/DOWN (both) while powering

up the unit. To turn the LED back on, simply power down and power back

up. The feature may be of particular use to “Law Enforcement Users” who

may prudently prefer in some situations to not be walking around at night

with a blue light glowing on their shoulder. Alternatively, Stealth mode can

be permanently enabled via re-programming the X10DR Secure Mic.

Accessory Mic Boost

Users can choose to increase an audio accessory’s microphone sensitivity

on X10DR models tted with the Hirose accessory port to cater for sensitivity

requirements or variations in headset manufacturer’s specications. To

activate the higher sensitivity, the X10DR’s blue VOLUME UP button should

be held down while powering up. The user will thereafter hear 2 short

conrmation beeps at the end of each start up tone sequence. To revert

to standard operation, the unit should be powered up with the VOLUME

DOWN blue button held down.

NOTE: Enabling the mic boost does NOT effect the l internal front cover microphone.

The default sensitivity can be adjusted using the XPK Field Programmer.

Remote Monitor (Elite Models only)

A unique input is provided on Elite series X10DR installations which allows

that users audio to be remotely activated. The activation may be from

a manual switch installed in the vehicle (supplied by others) or it may

connect to a mobile radio suitably equipped to allow a despatcher to

remotely send a command to the users vehicle mobile that can be used

in turn to activate the remote monitor function. Depending on the specic

application a XSJB special function may be required.

Public Address /In-Car Monitor (Elite Models only)

The X10DR Elite model provides a powerful 8 watt RMS audio output that

can be used with an optional external speaker, to allow a Secure Mic

user’s transmissions to be audibly monitored in the vehicle when away

from the vehicle or to allow public address. Press buttons on the base of

the gateway allows the audio volume to be adjusted up or down. Speaker

connection is via a 3.5mm mono socket in the base of the gateway.

In-out of cradle remote sensing (Elite Models only)

The Elite gateway cradle provides an externally accessible indication of

when the secure mic is in the gateway cradle or not. This can be used

for automatic enabling of functions such as lone worker or other remote

electronic devices. A XSJB is usually used with this feature.

Multiple X10DR Secure Wireless Microphones may be connected to one

radio device by use of the optional XJB/XJB-DCI junction box accessory.

Operation is identical to single user operation with the added benet

that, each party also hears each other talk when they transmit. This

functionality is ideal for police: where two ofcers are assigned to a patrol

van, or ambulance: where 3 paramedics can communicate at a scene

as well as with their control room. It is also ideal for ofce use allowing a

number of personnel to access a local base or control station or remote

control console while moving around a building, shop or warehouse. Note:

communication between X10DR users is always routed back through

their respective gateway mobile chargers and not direct between units.

Ask your dealer for more information on this unique and highly regarded

operational capability. Elite Users see also the following related feature.

The new Elite models can provide dual simultaneous access to the mobile

radio via one gateway. This unique capability allows for more seamless

connectivity and means that only one external antenna is necessary

to communicate with both handsets when away from the vehicle.

Each handset can transmit and receive over the host mobile while also

monitoring each others communications trafc. Should you so desire both

users can also communicate locally ”off-net” in talkaround mode, when

that makes operational sense. Note: in Dual Mic operation there maybe

be some minor degradation in coverage depending on the environment.

For the majority of users this may not be noticeable.

The small size of the X10DR unit allow for its selective use in covert short

range applications. The remote monitor PTT function means someone

else can enable “listening” without the covert operative having to touch

anything. As audio is duplex (bi-directional) they can also be congured

so you can also talk to them over the radio at the same time allowing

vital messages to be passed on even when an operative is transmitting in

local talkaround mode. The mission critical focused Elite model provides

AES128 encryption version to ensure the highest levels of voice security.

To further enhance its security it automatically updates its encryption key

continuously throughout the day, making it generally operationally far

more tactically secure than the highest top end AES256 portable radios

who may only have their encryption keys changed monthly and whose

transmissions are often broadcast on wide area networks.

Motorcycle Operation

Multiple Unit Operation

Covert Operation

Dual Mic Operation (Elite models only)

The X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone is especially suitable for

motorcycle use. Models tted with a 6 pin Hirose industrial connector

allow easy connection to a helmet microphone and dual earpiece t out.

Making use of the handlebar PTT input, a bike can be congured so that,

when the rider is on the bike and presses the handle bar PTT, their headset

microphone audio is sent out over the radio. Off the bike but still wearing

the helmet, the user can press the Secure Wireless Microphone PTT to talk,.

Finally, if the user removes their helmet, they can unplug from the Hirose

connector on the base of the unit and just use the secure wireless

microphone like standard.

(note headset warnings later in this manual)

X10DR provides the user with a IP67 rated waterproof Hirose HR10 audio

port to allow use of a wide range of motorcycle headsets, industrial

hearing protection heavy duty headsets besides a range of lightweight

noise cancelling headsets and other traditional two way radio audio

accessories to be connected to aid in achieving your communications

objective on a clear and effective manner. Plugging in a headset disables

the internal loudspeaker.
