Carry Clip Removal
X10DR
®
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 loca-
tion that allows the antenna to protrude above you body.
Magnetic mount clip Part No: XMMC
The magnetic mount type uses a rare earth magnet attached
to your clothing that the metal back of the X10DR magnetically
clings too. This unique version allows the associated clothing
magnet piece to be located high on your shoulder enabling the
antenna to radiate both sides of your body more equally. An ad-
ditional magnet tted to the X-Ponder mobile charger ensures
the microphone is fully secured when dropped.
The two types may be interchanged as needed, Both attach
to the back of the microphone identically. To remove follow
the directions in these three photos: Locate the metal securing
tag - Press the tag away from the Spk Mic whilst sliding the clip
upwards.

Note: Neodium, rare earth magnets, are fragile and can easily
break if dropped and will then need to be replaced. (Not cov-
ered by warranty) Take extra care when handling them. Keep away
from credit cards or like items, that can be damaged by strong
magnetic elds. Attach the magnet to the inside of attire, prefer-
ably where the antenna will also be visible from behind you. This
will maximise coverage. Use with heavy jackets may require use
of higher powered or multiple magnets. Your dealer will be able
to advise on what is best suited to your work environment attire.

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-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 allow-
ing wireless communication with a xed located or ve-
hicle radio: 60, 150, 300 metres (yards) or more.* - Now
users can communicate with enhanced clean 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.

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 lower grey button. The speaker
mic will sound a de-escalating tone. To power On, do the same,
releasing the button once the LED lights. The speaker 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. Speak with a normal
strong clear voice about 3-5cm (2”) from the microphone port.
Do Not yell as this causes distortion and loss of clarity.
Emergency
If enabled, the emergency button can be used to trigger and
reset the emergency function in your suitably equipped mobile
radio. The time you hold the button is the time your mobile ra-
dio sees the emergency command. So if your mobile radio re-
quires you to hold the radios front panel emergency button for 2
seconds, then you should hold the Secure Wireless Microphone
emergency button for 2 seconds.

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 immedi-
ately by the radio BUSY or Out of Range tone.
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.
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 glow solid.
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
Up to three Secure Wireless Microphones may be connected to
one radio device by use of the optional XIB Interface box ac-
cessory. 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 up to
3 paramedics can communicate at a scene as well as with their
control room. It is also ideal for ofce use allowing up to 3 person-
nel 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
antennas are located ideally >1m (39”) 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.
10

The 6 pin Hirose industrial connector also allows use of a variety
of heavy duty and lightweight headsets and application specic
audio accessories to enhance you communications capabil-
ity. 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.
Accessory Mic Boost
Users can increase an audio accessory’s microphone gain 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 VOL-
UME UP button (right side) 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 op-
eration, the unit should be powered up with the VOLUME DOWN
(left side) button held down.
NOTE: this does NOT effect the sensitivity of the X10DR’s normal
front cover microphone.
The small size of the X10DR unit may allow for its selective use
in covert applications. The remote monitor PTT function means
someone else can enable “listening” without the covert opera-
tive having to touch anything. As audio is duplex (bidirectional)
you can also talk to them at the same time allowing vital mes-
sages to be passed on even when an operative is transmitiing.
The Advanced model : X10DR-XX1 unit provides 128 bit encryp-
tion version to ensure high levels of voice security. while the
Standard X10DR-XU1 versions provide 64 bit encryption. Both en-
cryption types are based on the well recognized ‘SAFER” format.

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 at a short beep will sound once
every 2 minutes. It will then automatically
power down after 30 minutes, so you
should then re-charge the unit as soon
as is practical ones the chirps are heard.
A fully discharged battery will typically re-
charge in less than 4 hours, or less if only
partially discharged. The battery will re-
charge even if the mobile charger unit
has been turned off. The microphone’s
blue status light will indicate charging
mode.
Li-POL
Please recycle thoughtfully
Simply place into pocket. The X10DR will
beep to show correct placement.
NB: do not allow debris to ll the pocket
as it may prevent the microphone from
making contact with the charging pins
Keep all liquids well away from the
charging cradle at all times.

Replacing the battery pack
When you notice the X10DR sounding a small chirp,
it indicates the battery is nearly at and should be re-
charged. 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. The Secure Wireless
Microphone features a 1200mA Lithium Polymer battery
to provide typically 10-12 hours operation when used
with a busy radio channel.
To maximize the life of a Lithium battery its is better to
keep it topped up by returning it to the charger often
rather than waiting for it to rst go at - which was the
opposite case with older nickel based batteries. Typical-
ly you can expect to get about 500 plus full re-charge
cycles before the battery will require replacement.
The process is simple and should only take your radio
service supplier about 5 minutes to replace and test.
Replacement of the battery should be ONLY undertak-
en by a qualied service technician so as to ensure no
damage occurs to internal circuitry and to ensure the
housing’s weatherproof integrity is not compromised.
The replacement battery part number is: XSMB-C12:
1�2A LI-POL battery�
After replacement, the Secure Wireless Microphone
must be rst placed back into the mobile charger and
will initially need to be charged for 8 hours prior to com-
mencement of use. Depending on the situation it may
also need to be “re-connected” to the mobile charg-
ing unit)
X10DR

Re-connection
Each X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone is uniquely
connected to a specic 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 discon-
nected from the X-Ponder mobile charger by connect-
ing with a new replacement Secure Mic unit.
How to re-connect: hold the speaker mic while pressing
both the blue up and down volume controls until the
blue LED ashes and the speaker mic beeps.(after 8 secs.)
Press together
until LED ashes
and unit beeps
Now place the speaker mic back
into the mobile charger. After a few
seconds the speaker mic will sound
a conrmation two tone and the
blue LED on both units will glow solid
to indicate connection is complete.
Audio adjustments
The Secure Wireless Microphone sys-
tem is usually factory set for standard
audio levels required to provide sat-
isfactory mobile radio voice levels.
Should the volume be too soft or
loud and distorted, it may require re-
adjustment to set the correct level
for your particular installation.
Using a radio systems analyser to monitor the radio
channel adjust the internal trim pots so as to achieve
maximum permitted voice deviation within minimum
voice clipping (distortion). See Page 16 for adjustment points.

As compared to the basic internal 1/4 wave stub an-
tenna, 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. It
should be bracket mounted onto an unobstructed area
above the vehicle’s roof line and should be connected
via the supplied low loss coax cable to the RP-SMA-F
output connector. MAKE SURE YOU FULLY TIGHTEN!
Alternatively, where approved, the XBDA bidirectional
amplier may also be installed to further enhance in-
building coverage from your vehicle. The XBDA is in-
stalled in series between the antenna and the mobile
charger using a 3m (10’) length of RG58A coax cable to
ensure a maximum of 1W output to the antenna. Only
qualied radio service personnel should install a XBDA
so as to ensure the effective radiation level remain in full
compliance with regulatory requirements in your coun-
try of operation�
Warning: ensure your body stays at least 20cm (8”) from
any antenna that connects to a XBDA unit�
In the event of a damaged or lost antenna, only original
replacements should be used so as to not compromise
the units type approval certication or performance.
The speaker microphone usese a unity gain ground
independent antenna for maximum multi-directional
range. The mobile charger output has a reverse polar-
ity SMA female antenna connector, as does the XBDA.

1� Switched B+: Used to automatically turn on/off Se-
cure Wireless Microphone if connected to host radio
switched B+ output, if not, the user should supply man-
ual 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 Micro-
phone that is to be transmitted over the host mobile
radios transmitter. It is factory set for approx 80mV RMS.
3� Radio Mic Lo: This is microphone audio ground.
4� Receive Audio: Receive audio from the host mobile
radio that you wish to be sent to the Wireless Micro-
phone. Ideally, it should be sourced pre-volume con-
trol but can be post, as long as the host mobile radio’s
speaker audio has been sent for comfortable listening
in the vehicle.
5� Power: connected via a 1 amp in-line fuse preferably
direct to a vehicle’s 12V battery but can be any volt-
age from about 6-15VDC. Current consumption is typi-
cally 60mA/Max current 420mA@6V. (12V = <200mA)
6� Ext� PTT: Switched ground output designed to cause
the host mobile radio to transmit.
7� Emergency: Output intended to connect to the host
mobile radio’s emergency input. It is normally provides
an active switched ground but can be jumpered to be
active open circuit. The time held low (or high) is the
exact time that the user presses the Emergency button.
This output could be used for other functions such as to
trigger the panic function of a car alarm system, provid-
ing it is correctly “buffered” so as to not cause damage
to the mobile charger.
8� COR/squelch/audio unmute: Input designed to moni-
tor the receive status of the host mobile radio. Ideally, it
is driven by an “audio unmute” switched ground com-
mand in the host mobile. i.e. when the radio’s speaker
unmutes to pass audio then the COR input should tog-
gle in sync.
Installation & Connections
17

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. You may choose to connect to a mo-
torbike handle bar PTT, a hidden palm or footswitch, a
wireless PTT device, or even to an output from the host
mobile equipped to provide remote radio monitoring
of the Secure Wireless Microphones users audio. In such
remote monitoring cases, use of the remote PTT input
causes the sensitivity of the Secure Wireless Microphone
to be greatly increased, so a control room operator
can more easily monitor the health or safety of the
user. There is no increased audio gain when a headset
is connected to the base of the Wireless Microphone.
Alternate Congurations
Some alternate congurations are available by internal
jumpering of the mobile charger unit. These are pro-
vided to allow compatibility with different mobile radio
types.
Re-conguration of these jumpers should only be
undertaken by qualied radio service personnel.
To access, rst remove the rear mounting plate from
the mobile charger. Next remove the 4 case screws to
access internal PCB. Take extreme care when handling
the PCB to prevent damage by electrostatic discharge
(ESD) or to internal wiring. Re-assemble carefully re-
membering to re-insert the belt clip securing spring.
