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.
X10DR cuts the cord and for the first 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.
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 flash. If you then push the PTT an alert tone will sound to let you know your call is not getting though.
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 field pro-...
>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.
N.B. See page 36 for safety warning regarding use of headsets. Covert Operation 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.
The microphone’s blue status light will indicate charging mode. Simply place into pocket. The X10DR will beep to show correct placement. NB: do not allow debris to fill the pocket as it may prevent the microphone from...
Replacing the battery pack When you notice the X10DR sounding a small chirp, it indicates the battery is nearly flat 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.
X10DR ® Re-connection Each X10DR Secure Wireless Microphone is uniquely connected to a specific 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...
Antennas 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.

If an X10DR has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected to a severe fall, do not use it until you take it to an WCL Authorized Service Provider.
X10DR off when staff or posted signs instruct you to do so. vii/Blasting Areas and Posted Facilities: To avoid interfering with blasting opera- tions, turn off the X10DR when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted “Turn off two-way radio.” Obey all signs and instructions.
Page 33
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres: Turn off X10DR when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere. Do not charge X10DR, and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in serious injury or even death.
