Before you start!
X10DR has been designed to allow simple connectivity to most radio models from those dating back from the 90’s to the
most current digital models from most professional radio manufacturers. Understanding the basic connectivity will allow
you to successfully connect to just about any wireless radio device, or to allied wired radio control consoles. The following
describes the pin out connectivity of the X10DR mobile charger’s 15 pin DB15 connector. Note: pins not described are used
for factory set-up and should not have DC voltages or grounds applied to them otherwise the device may be damaged or
may cause incorrect operation.
Pin 1. Switched B+ In: Used to automatically turn on/off X10DR by sensing the host radio’s status. Normally, this pin connects
to a host radio’s switched B+ output, if available (no current required), if not, the installer should supply a manual on/off
switch for user activation of the unit. Note: The speaker microphone’s battery will still charge when the switched B+ is re-
moved.
Pin 2. Transmit Mic Audio Out: This should connect to the host mobile’s transmit audio input. This is the audio from the Wire-
less Microphone that is to be transmitted over the host mobile radio’s transmitter. It is factory set for approx 80mV RMS. This
can be adjusted up to about 800mV by carefully adjusting the radio audio output VR1 trimpot. (Subject to factory pre-pro-
grammed settings. The maximum level can be reset electronically by use of the X10DR Programming kit.)
Pin 3. Radio Mic Lo: This connects to the host mobile’s microphone audio ground. Note: on some TDMA digital radios this pin
may be best connected to only the shield of the interface cable. This is due to TDMA noise that may be transferred from the
host mobile and appear as noise on the X10DR unit.
Pin 4. Receive Audio In: This should connect to the host mobile’s receive audio output. This audio source should be under
the radio’s squelch control and of a level above 40mVrms. Ideally, it should be sourced pre-volume control but can be
post, as long as the host mobile radio’s speaker audio has rst been set for comfortable listening in the vehicle before ad-
justing VR2 trimpot.
Pin 5. DC Power In: This pin should connect via a 1 amp in-line fuse preferably direct to a vehicle’s 12V battery but can be
any constant voltage from about 6-15VDC. Current consumption is typically 60mA. Max current 220mA@12V. It requires to
be constantly connected to ensure the units can recharge when the host mobile may be turned off.
Pin 6. Ext. PTT Out: This pin provides a switched ground output and should connect to the host mobile radio’s external PTT in-
put. Some radio models have active high PTT inputs. Those models will require the use of special interface cables that allow
the X10DR output to be inverted to an active high.

Pin 7. Emergency Out: This output is intended to connect to the host mobile radio’s emergency input. It is normally provides
an active switched ground (<50mA sink) 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. On some radios this input is available as standard, on others it requires the host mo-
bile’s I/O ports to be rst programmed for such.
Pin 8. COR/Squelch/Audio Unmute In: This input is designed to monitor the receive status of the host mobile radio. For best
operation it is driven by an “audio unmute” switched ground output from the host mobile. i.e. an indicator of whenever
the host radio’s speaker unmutes. Alternatively, it should be driven by a switched ground output that indicates the radio’s
squelch condition. This output should factor reception of the required correct CTCSS tones, etc. On some radios this output
is available as standard, on others it requires the host mobile’s I/O ports to be rst programmed for such. Internal jumpering
within the X10DR mobile charger caters for radios with active high outputs.
On some radio devices a COR output is not available without modifying the host mobile. While this would be desirable, the
X10DR features smart VOX circuitry to adapt its operation in these cases where a radio COR is not available. In some mo-
biles there is a DC shift on the radio’s speaker output terminal whenever the radio unmutes, which can be used as a COR
input. Making use of such requires changes to R40/41 in the X10DR mobile charger. Such congurations requires good tech-
nical know-how and care must be taken to NEVER short a mobile radio’s bridged audio output to ground.
Pin 9. Ground: This pin should connect to DC / Digital ground connection. Note: on digital radios this is usually NEVER audio
ground. Connect to the vehicle’s chassis or a solid DC ground from the host mobile.
Pin 13. Remote PTT In: This pin allows you to provide a remote PTT alternative to transmit Secure Wireless Microphone audio
over the host mobile radio. You may choose to connect to a motorbike’s handle bar PTT, a hidden palm or footswitch or a
wireless PTT device. When a headset is connected to a secure wireless microphone’s Hirose® audio port the microphone
sensitivity is normal.
However, if a headset is NOT attached to the Hirose audio port, then grounding pin 13 causes the X10DR to transmit audio
with substantially increased mic sensivity. This allows Remote Monitor to be achieved by using a switched output from the
host mobile to remotely activate the function. Thus a control room operator could monitor the user’s ambient audio to as-
certain the health or safety of the user. Alternatively, this pin can be used with the XFB Special function box for other spe-
cialist applications such as Lone Worker.

Internal Jumpering (pre April 2014) REV 1
Some alternate interface congurations are available by modifying the internal jumpering of the mobile charger unit. These
solder “blob jumpers” are provided to allow compatibility with different mobile radio types.
Re-conguration of these jumpers should only be undertaken by qualied radio service personnel. (Requires precision minia-
ture SMD type hand soldering.)
To access the PCB, 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 making sure to not damage wiring.
Installation Jumper Conguration:
- For N/O active ground emergency trigger: SJ1 Out SJ2 In (default)
- For N/C active high emergency trigger: SJ1 In SJ2 Out
- For active lo radio COR SJ3 Out (default)
- For active high radio COR SJ3 In
- For Vox enable SJ4 In (default)
- For Vox disable* SJ4 Out
R40 Default: not tted - Fit 0 ohm** for DC shift COR detect
R41 Default: tted - Remove for DC shift COR detect
** or as appropriate
J3 Default: In
(*Warning - may cause some radio
supervisory tones to be not heard)
- Remove J3 to prevent the wireless mic speak-
er from muting when placed inside the mobile
charger. This option is generally recommended
only when the host radio has no internal or
external speaker. Removing J3, may cause
the re-charge time to increase on a very busy
radio channel.

Internal dip switch setting (Ex factory - Post Apr 2014) Rev 1
From April 2014 the X10DR cradle now features a dip switch array in place of the J3 and solder jumpers.
Some alternate interface congurations are available by modifying the internal dip switch settings of the mobile charger
unit. These dip switch settings are provided to allow compatibility with different mobile radio types.
To access the PCB, 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 making sure to not damage wiring.

Adjusting Levels - VERY IMPORTANT
Installation of the X10DR requires setting of audio levels between the X10DR and the
host radio. VR1 and VR2 on the base of the X10DR charger can be used to ne tune
levels. Use a small Phillips “jewellers” screwdriver (PH1) to carefully adjust the settings.
The X10DR is factory set to provide a nominal 80mV audio signal to the host radio’s mic
input. This level can be adjusted via VR1 to suit the particular radios requirement. VR1
should be adjusted (if necessary) to match the audio level & quality when the X10DR
transmit audio is compared with the host radio st mic transmit audio level & quality
(listen via a service monitor, or another radio). VR2 should be adjusted (if necessary) to
set a loud and undistorted receive audio signal on the X10DR unit when receiving from
a service monitor, or another radio. Make sure the X10DR user volume control is on level
4 before adjusting VR2 (press the right blue button closest to the antenna 5 times and
then press the left blue button once). Note: some radios can only provide a volume
controlled audio output to the X10DR. In such cases you should rst set the host radio
speaker volume to a comfortable listening level in the vehicle, and then adjust the
X10DR volume to suit.
Radio Programming - VERY IMPORTANT
For correct X10DR operation, the host mobile radio on some occasions will require reprogramming (via its associated FPP/
CPS etc) to enable correct functionality. Read carefully this instruction document to get a complete understanding of the
interfacing requirements. It is not a difcult interface but it does require common technical practical commonsense when
interfacing to other devices. Whilst some manufacturers radios are pre-congured to suit from the factory, others require
service shop programming for functions like PTT, COR (channel busy), emergency trigger and audio level settings to be ac-
cessible on the radios rear interface connector. Incorrect radio settings may cause distortion or noisy audio, the unit to not
function or may damage either the X10DR or host radio if not congured properly.

VR2
Set Up - Basic Requirements
The X10DR mobile charger’s trimpots are very delicate and extreme care must be taken when adjusting to
prevent physical damage. - NOTE: mechanical damage is not covered by X10DR product warranty!

The XIB-TA allows up to 3 X10DRs to be
connected to a host radio. Normal PTT
will transmit over the host radio, and to
the other X10DR users. Pressing the or-
ange button will transmit in talk around
mode ONLY to the other X10DR users (ie
not over the host radio). The XIB-TA does
not support activation of the host radio’s emergency function
when used in talk around mode (see dipswitch settings).
To align the XIB-TA you will need a second radio on the same
channel so that you can talk to and monitor the X10DR system
performance. Set the receive audio volume on each X10DR to
level 4 by pressing the volume up button 5 times and then press
the volume down button once.
Talk on each X10DR microphone and ensure the other X10DR
microphones have the same volume output. Adjust trimpots B,
C, & D to achieve uniform volume across each individual X10DR.
If necessary adjust trimpot A to adjust overall volume output for
all X10DRs together.
Talk on the second radio and adjust trimpot E to match the
receive volume compared when talking on the X10DR micro-
phones.
Finally, talk on an X10DR microphone and adjust trimpot F for
correct transmit deviation so that it matches the host radio
standard wired mic levels. Listen on the second radio for clarity
and volume. All audio levels should now be balanced.

XIB-TA Set Up
Multi Unit installs
Multi unit installs require the use of either a XIB-TA or a XFB-
TA. Both devices are designed to cross connect two or
more X10DR units into one host radio. The host radio con-
nects to the radio port on the XIB/XFB-TA, and the X10DRs
connect to the other ports. A maximum of nine X10DRs
can be connected requiring four cascaded XIB/XFB-TA in-
terfaces. The radio port connects to an X10DR port on a
downstream XIB/XFB-TA. All X10DRs will be able to hear all
conversations from the other units. Only one X10DR can
talk at a time. Internal dipswitches in the XIB-TA provide
users with either host radio emergency function or talk
around function, while XFB-TA allows for both.

XFB-TA Set Up
The XFB-TA allows up to 3 X10DRs to be connected to a host radio. Normal PTT
will transmit over the host radio, and to the other X10DR users. Pressing the or-
ange button will transmit in talk around mode ONLY to the other X10DR users (ie
not over the host radio). XFB-TA supports triggering of the host radio emergency
function by pressing the PTT and orange buttons together for more than 1 sec-
ond (depending on dipswitch settings).
To align the XFB-TA, follow the same alignment procedure for the XIB-TA.

FIND ME FEATURE:
The XFB-TA has a “nd me” feature, if required.
The XFB-TA unit also allows an external switch to be con-
nected to the XMC series radio interface cable’s remote
PTT wire to provide a “nd me” function; where a loud tone
can be sent to the secure mic in the event that it gets lost,
to alert the user of a hazard, return to vehicle alert or, in
cases where the user may have lost consciousness.
To set it up, congure dipswitch and connect 12VDC to
the remote PTT wire on the XMC cable via a (not supplied)
switch to enter “nd me” mode. The alert tone volume can
be adjusted via trimpot G. Note: a harsh, distorted alert
tone can at times be a better aid in determining the direc-
tion of a lost device.

The XFB-MR allows the X10DR to be connected to 2 separate host radios (or one radio and
a public address system). Depending on dipswitch settings, the X10DR PTT button can either
PTT simultaneously on both radios via the normal PTT button, or PTT on radio 1 only. Depend-
ing on dipswitch settings the X10DR orange button will either trigger the host radio emer-
gency function, or PTT on radio 2 only.
To align the XFB-MR you will need a second radio on the same channel/s as your host radio/s
so that you can talk to and monitor the X10DR system performance. Set the receive audio
volume on the X10DR to level 4 by pressing the volume up button 5 times and then press the
volume down button once. Talk on the second radio and adjust trimpot E to set the receive
volume in the X10DR. Talk on the X10DR microphone via radio 1 and adjust trimpot F for cor-
rect transmit deviation so that it matches the host radio standard wired mic levels. Listen on

the second radio for clarity and volume. Repeat the process for
radio 2, adjusting trimpot A for transmit deviation, and trimpot B
for receive volume. Radio 2 offers a marker tone at the end of re-
ceive to distinguish from radio 1 receive (only available with radi-
os which have a COR indicator). Momentarily transmit on the sec-
ond radio on the same channel as radio 2 and notice the beep
heard in the X10DR at the end of transmission. Adjust trimpot G to
set preferred volume of the marker tone. Note: setting the marker
tone level too loud will often cause user dissatisfaction with a few
weeks of usage. The recommended level setting is just audible.
XFB-MR MANUAL RADIO SELECT FEATURE:
The XFB-MR has a dipswitch selectable option to allow an exter-
nal toggle switch (not supplied) to be connected to the XMC
radio interface cable remote PTT wire so that it can remotely
select PTT between radio 1 and radio 2. The remote PTT wire
should be open circuit to select radio 1 and connected to +12V
to select radio 2.

Talkaround
Talkaround allows users to talk amongst themselves without their audio being transmitted over the radio channel. However, all host radio
received audio is always heard by all X10DR users.
Connecting multiple X10DRs to dual radios.
A maximum of nine X10DRs can be connected via three XIB-TA devices connected to a XFB-MR function box. Talkaround is not normally
available in this conguration. The XFB-MR device dip switches dene the user function of the X10DR orange butons. The XIB-TA units
should be left with their default settings.
NOTE: Installers should discuss the end user’s desired X10DR button conguration prior to installation, so that internal dip switches can be
set accordingly.
