This product is designed to radiate low
levels of radio energy in accordance with
global government approved regula-
tory standards. It features Adaptive Power
Output. APO automatically adjusts the RF
power output in accordance with signal
required. This features limits and reduces
extraneous radiated radio energy. This also
helps minimize battery consumption and
extends battery shift life. Do not touch the
antenna when operational. Keep Secure
Microphone antenna 10mm (2/5”) or more
away from your body to ensure exposure
levels remain at or below the maximum
levels. Keep your body at least 20cm/8”
from external antennas connected to the
X-Ponder mobile charger unit.

Wearing the X10DR Secure Mic
X10DR is designed to best perform when worn with
the antenna protruding above your shoulder.
Different types of carry clips are available including:
Standard clip (default) Replacement part No: XSMC
This is the traditional type allows the X10DR Secure Wireless Mi-
crophone to be clipped to work vests, clothing, epaulettes, etc.
For maximum performance 360º around your vehicle it is recom-
mended that it be worn in a location that allows the antenna to
protrude above you body. Rare earth magnets secure the micro-
phone in the X-ponder charging cradle.
Velcro® mount clip Replacement part No: XVMC
The Velcro mount type features a large 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
you body to ensure maximum range. Rare earth magnets secure
the microphone in the X-ponder charging cradle.
Removable clip Replacement part No: XRMC
This type has a removable larger spring belt clip which allows the
X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone to be clipped to heavier work
vests, leather clothing, thick epaulettes, etc. It locks mechani-
cally into the X-ponder charging cradle.

Operation Description
Congratulations on choosing the revolutionary X10DR®
Secure Wireless Microphone. Pronounced “extender”.
This incredibly compact, lightweight personal acces-
sory 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-dene mobile network design by in-
creasing user functionality and mobility whilst dramati-
cally improving the effectiveness of your infrastructure
investment. This visionary solution provides users out of
vehicle communications with the power and perfor-
mance of their mobile radio.
X10DR cuts the cord and for the rst time puts the mi-
crophone and radio system access into the palm of the
users hand when away from the vehicle, delivering true
mobility without system compromise. Users can feel to-
tally condent their private communications are kept
secure due to the smart 64 bit/128 bit encryption (model
dependent) functionality. X10DR uniquely incorporates
HLC™ “Hard Line Coding” connection protocol that
virtually eliminates any possibility of outside intrusion be-
tween the X10DR and your vehicle’s mobile. When the
mission is critical, X10DR delivers.
X10DR unleashes the power of your mobile radio al-
lowing wireless communication with a xed located
or vehicle radio: 60, 150, 300 metres (yards) or more.*
Our EVR™ enhanced voice resilience audio ensures us-
ers can communicate with clean clear audio, with the
power and range of their mobile radio, whilst not being
tied to the vehicle allowing the user to be truly mobile in
every operational environment.
Finally, if you go out of range, the blue LED will ash and
the unit will sound a warning tone if you press the PTT
or Emergency button so you know to move back into
your communication zone or to be simply aware. This
ability to now communicate whilst outside your vehicle
signicantly enhances a safer and more secure work
environment for everyone who carries an X10DR Secure
Wireless Microphone. 6

SECURE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION via your vehicle’s mobile radio
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 tted by your instal-
lation 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 Wire-
less Microphone by pressing the grey button. The secure mic will
sound a de-escalating tone. To power On, do the same, releas-
ing 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.
Volume Control
When you rst activate the unit you should rst ensure your mobile
radio’s volume is set to a comfortable listening level. You may
then adjust the Secure Wireless Microphone volume by pressing
the right top button to increase or the left 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 the audio.
Transmitting/Receiving
Use like any two way radio speaker Mic i.e. press the large black
PTT button to talk and release to listen. A short Talk permit tone se-
quence will sound. Speak with a normal strong clear voice about
3-5cm (2”) from the microphone port. Do not yell as this causes
loss of clarity.
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. If you then push the PTT an alert
tone will sound to let you know your call is not getting though.
Pressing the Emergency button when Out of Range will provide a
similar indication. Depending on your location, you may nd you
need to walk back about 10 meters (yards) closer to your vehicle
to re-connect - Blue status light will then glow solid.

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 by the
radio BUSY or Out of Range tone. (can be disabled by eld pro-
grammer)
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 chirp
ensures the user has a positive indication that the X10DR Secure
Mic is charging and seated correctly in the cradle.
Earpiece Operation
X10DR provides the user with a weather protected 3.5mm ear-
piece jack to allow use of industry standard earpieces thereby
providing additional privacy of communications. A range of ear-
piece styles are available to suit individual user preferences. Plug-
ging in an earpiece disables the internal loudspeaker.
Emergency
If enabled, the emergency button can be used to trigger and
reset the emergency function in your suitably equipped mo-
bile radio. The time you hold the button is the time your mobile
radio sees 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. When you press the emergency (orange) button a
short beep will sound. (Can be disabled by use of X10DR Field
programmer) See page 22 for other Emergency operations in-
formation.
Stealth Mode
For special applications the secure Mic’s Blue LED on the front of
the Secure Mic can be temporarily disabled. 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 Enforce-
ment Users” who may prefer in some situations to not be walking
around at night with a blue light glowing on their shoulder.

Multiple Unit Operation
Multiple X10DR Secure Wireless Microphones with EVR™ en-
hanced audio 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 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 X-ponder mobile chargers and not
direct between units. Ask your dealer for more information on this
unique and highly regarded operational capability.
INSTALLERS NOTE:
Use of the XBDA “booster” accessory is NOT compatible with
multiple unit installations. Multiple unit operation requires that an-
tennas are located ideally >50cm (20”) apart to minimize the op-
portunity for cross unit interference. Attention needs to be made
when locating antennas so that each X10DR provide similar cov-
erage patterns to ensure balanced unit to unit communications.
Motorcycle Operation
The X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone is especially suitable for
motorcycle use. Models tted with a 6 pin Hirose industrial con-
nector 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.
