Stealth Mode - L3Harris XL Extreme Series Operator's Manual

5.38 STEALTH MODE

For some users, it is important to be able to turn off the radio's display lights and side tones, but
not the radio traffic. For example, in covert operations, lights and sounds could inadvertently
expose an otherwise unobservable radio user. For this purpose, the radio has a Stealth feature
that disables the radio display lights, indicator lights, audible alert, and side tones. When Stealth
Mode is on, the radio continues to scan the programmed list of Talk Groups and the user can key-
up on the selected Talk Group. A button or the two-position switch can be programmed via RPM2
to enable/disable Stealth Mode.
The following Stealth Mode options are configurable via RPM2:
• Persistence Enabled – Specify whether or not Stealth Mode persists after the radio is powered
down.
• LCD Enabled – Specify if the LCD is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
LED Enabled – Specify if the LED is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
•
Backlight Enabled – Specify if the Backlight is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
•
Side/Alert Tones Enabled – Specify if side tones and alert tones are enabled or disabled for
•
Stealth Mode.
Voice Annunciation Enabled – Specify if Voice Annunciation is enabled or disabled for Stealth
•
Mode.
Channel/Group Knob Enabled – Specify if the Channel/Group Knob is enabled or disabled for
•
Stealth Mode.
Top Display Enabled – Specify if the Top Display is enabled or disabled for Stealth Mode.
•
• Top Display Minimum Brightness – When this option is enabled, the top display is enabled at
the minimum brightness when the radio is in Stealth Mode.
