common to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions. A list of the possible hazards are: 1. Explosive Atmospheres Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, be sure to turn the radio off while fueling the vehicle. Do Not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of the vehicle when the radio is mounted in the trunk. 2. Interference To Vehicular Electronic Systems Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic anti-skid breaking systems, electronic cruise control systems, etc., are typical of the types of electronic devices that may malfunction due to the lack of protection from radio frequency energy present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment, consult the dealer for the make of vehicle and enlist his aid in determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the radio is transmitting. 3. Dynamite Blasting Caps Dynamite blasting caps may be caused to explode by operating a radio within 500 feet of the blasting caps. Always obey the "Turn Off Two Way Radio" signs posted where dynamite is being used. When transporting blasting caps in your vehicle: a. Carry the blasting caps in a closed metal box with a soft lining. b. Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are being put into or removed from the vehicle. 4. Radio Frequency Energy To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency energy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the vehicle is within two feet of the antenna. Before jump starting or changing the vehicle battery, it is strongly sug- gested that the 10A fuse located in the Red lead (IGN A+) be removed. This will insure that the radio is protected from damage during the battery charging process. Replace fuse when charging is completed. CAUTION

Mobile radio installations in vehicles powered by liquefied petroleum gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire Protection Association standard (NEPA) 58 which requires that: a. The space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings. b. Outside filling connections shall be used for the LP gas container. c. The LP gas container shall be vented to the outside of the vehicle. SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS OF MOBILE RADIOS* Read the literature on the safe operation of the radio. • Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone in its cradle whenever the vehicle is in motion. • Place calls only when vehicle is stopped. Use recall dialing to speed the time it takes to call. • When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower lane. Keep conversations brief. • If conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the vehicle in a safe place and continue the call. Whenever using a mobile radio exercise caution. *As recommended by the AAA

rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Operators of two-way radio equipment must be thoroughly familiar with the rules that apply to the intended type of radio operation. Following these rules will help to eliminate confusion, assure the most efficient use of existing radio channels, and result in a smoothly functioning radio network. When using this two-way radio remember these rules: 1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. As the radio operates in much the same way as a telephone "party line", always listen to make sure that the line is clear - that no one else in on the air - before sending messages. If someone is sending an emergency message - such as reporting a fire, or asking for help in an accident - KEEP OFF THE AIR! Emergency calls have priority over all other messages. 2. Use of profane or obscene language is prohibited by Federal law. 3. It is against the law to send false call letters, or a false distress or emergency message. 4. The FCC requires that conversations be kept brief and confined to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible. 5. Using a radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of the FCC rules. Send only those messages that are essential for business operation. 6. It is against Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything overheard on the radio. Conversations between others sharing a channel must be regarded as confidential. 7. The FCC requires the operator to identify himself at certain times by means of call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to the particular type of operation for the proper procedure. The GE-MARC and EDACS trunking environments have automatic identification features built in and do not require the user to identify by means of call letters. NOTE 8. No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified electronics technician.

Radio. The radio is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, FM mobile radio providing reliable two-way communications in the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking environment, GE-MARC trunking system and conventional communications systems. In the EDACS or trunked system mode, the user selects a communications system and group. In this mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system controller. This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication channels. In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel and directly communicates on that channel. In this mode, a system refers to a set of channels. A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair. The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the radio’s programming and the particular radio system. Most features described in this manual may be enabled or disabled through programming. Consult the system administrator for the particular features that are programmed into the radio. This manual provides instructions for operating in either of the three systems (EDACS, GE-MARC, Conventional). A separate section is provided for each system with a complete set of instructions for operating the radio within that system. This radio allows the operator to switch between an EDACS, GE- MARC and Conventional system. Special attention should be given to the system selected and the operating characteristics of the radio working within that system. NOTE USER INTERFACE The operating controls are located on the radio’s front panel (see Figure 1). A liquid crystal display (LCD) displays the radio status information. The microphone connector is also located on the front panel. The front panel provides a POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control, a ramp up/down control, a SYStem select button, a CLeaR button, a SCaN button for on-off control of scan operation, a HOMe button and a SPecial Call button.

The LCD display provides seven alphanumeric characters to show the operational mode of the radio. The display also provides eleven status indicators. A dual function indicator lamp provides the red indicator TX when the radio is in the transmit mode and a green indicator RX when a signal is being received. An optional DTMF microphone is available to permit manual telephone interconnect calls, storing of numbers, etc. CONTROLS POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME This rotary control applies power to the radio and adjusts the receiver volume. Rotating the control clockwise out of detent applies power to the radio. A single alert tone sounds (if enabled through programming) to indicate the radio is operational. Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level.

the Group list or Channel list depending upon programming. Pressing the Y button and then the < or > button will increment or decrement the System selection. The secondary function is to increment or decrement items with a list (scan list, phone list, system, etc.). Press < to scroll in increasing order and press > to scroll in decreasing order. To auto-ramp, press and hold the button. SYSTEM SELECT Y This button permits selection of the desired System when used in conjunction with the <, > buttons. Momentarily pressing the Y button and then either of the < or > buttons within two seconds will permit scrolling of the programmed systems. Only those systems programmed can be selected. SCAN ON/OFF s This button is used to toggle scan operation on and off. When the radio is scanning, the SCAN status flag will be shown in the LCD display and all groups or channels in their respective scan list of the currently selected system will be scanned. A secondary function of this button, when used with the Y button, permits the lockout of the selected group or channel from the scan list. CLEAR c This button performs several functions depending on the selected radio system . When in the EDACS or GE- MARC radio system, pressing this button once will exit the special call mode and return to the normal System/Group display. When in the conventional radio system, pressing this button once will enable monitoring the channel for activity by unsquelching the receiver. All transmissions will be heard, even if Channel Guard protected.

Group and/or System by pressing and holding the key for a programmed duration. This button may also be programmed to function as an emergency button to declare an emergency by pressing and holding for a programmed duration. Emergency messages may only be transmitted in EDACS systems. The button must be programmed either for Home or Emergency, not both. SPECIAL CALL l This button is used to place the radio in the Special Call mode. From the Special Call mode, the radio is able to make individual and interconnect calls in an EDACS or GE-MARC system. INDICATORS The seven character alphanumeric display identifies the selected System/Group and operating modes or error conditions. There are also 11 status indicators to indicate radio or system status. Figure 2 - LCD Display SYS The System display indicates the number of the current EDACS, GE-MARC or Conventional system selected. GRP The Group display indicates the number of the current Group in an EDACS or GE-MARC System. LOCK This indicator will only be present when the optional DTMF microphone is used. When displayed, the keypad is locked on the DTMF microphone to prevent accidental transmission of tones by pressing of any of the keys on the keypad.

call or when a conventional channel is in use. The flag is also on when transmitting on a trunked channel. PHONE In EDACS or GE-MARC system, the PHONE and p status flags will be illuminated when the radio is placed in the Special Call mode. CALL This status flag will be illuminated when the radio receives an individual call in EDACS or GE-MARC systems. SCAN This status flag will be on when scan function is enabled. F This status flag indicates when a trunked group or conventional channel is scan enabled. p This status flag indicates when the radio is in a Special Call or Interconnect mode. Also on when PHONE is displayed. MESSAGES During radio operation, various messages are displayed in the LCD display. Typical messages include radio operation (radio in programming mode) and error messages (radio failure). MESSAGE NAME DESCRIPTION NC Out of range Indicates no connection between radio and system site. Incorrect system selected, out of coverage area, etc. EMRGNCY Emergency Flashing indicates that radio is sending an emergency signal (if programmed). AGENCY Agency Call Indicates an agency call. ALLCALL All Call Indicates an all call message. INDV Individual Call Indicates an individual call. CONV FS Conventional Failsoft Displayed when a failure of the EDACS system occurs. All communications will be in conventional mode. PROGRAM PC Programming Indicates radio is in the programming mode. SYN LOC Synthesizer Lock Indicates that the synthesizer is unable to load and lock on the channel properly.

events or operating conditions. These alert tones can be enabled or disabled by programming. Power-Up If programmed, a tone will sound on power-up after the radio passes the self test. Carrier Control Timer If the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded, five short high-pitched warning tones followed by a long low-pitched tone will be heard. The transmitter will shut down shortly after the alert tones are heard, interrupting communications. Release and re-key the PTT button to maintain communications. This will reset the carrier control timer and turn the transmitter back on. Key Press A short low-pitched tone sounds to indicate a key/button has been pressed. May be disabled through programming. TONES FOR TRUNKED OPERATION ONLY Out-Of-Range EDACS A single pitched tone will sound immediately after the PTT button is pressed, indicating the radio is out of range of the repeater. The radio will try to place a call for a short period (3 seconds) after the initial attempt. The radio will generate a second low pitched tone when it gives up trying to place a call. The system may be off the air or the radio requires servicing when the radio is within the calling range and these tones are heard. GE-MARC Five beeps will sound shortly after the PTT button is pressed when the radio is out of range of the repeater or the radio is inoperative. If the “Call Retry” is active, the radio will try the channel at twenty second intervals for five minutes.

button is pressed to indicate that the receiving party is already engaged in another call or the system is busy and its queue is full. You must rekey later to access the system. GE-MARC A low pitched tone will sound when the PTT button is pressed to indicate that all channels are busy. Clear To Talk A short burst tone indicates that the radio has acquired a channel and the user may proceed to talk. A programmable option. Available System A short low pitched tone indicates the radio is attempting to connect to the first available repeater. A continuous high pitched pulsed tone for two seconds indicates when a repeater is available and the radio is attempting to connect. TONES IN CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM Receive Only Channel A warbling tone sounds when a transmit attempt is made on a receive only channel.

Rotate the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control clockwise, out of detent, to turn on the radio. A short beep (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready for operation. The display indicates the last selected System and Group. In the EDACS trunked environment, if communications with the system’s control channel cannot be established, the NC message will be displayed. This may occur if, for example, the radio is out of range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another location or select another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked mode operations. The radio will automatically transmit a “log-in” message whenever the radio is turned on or whenever the radio roams into a new system when changing the Group selection. This “log-in’ message includes the Logical ID and the Group ID for that radio. RECEIVING A CALL 1. Turn on the radio as indicated in paragraph TURNING ON THE RADIO. 2. Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control clockwise to the desired audio level. 3. Select the desired System by pressing the Y button and then using the < or > ramp button to scroll to the desired System. Only Systems programmed can be selected. 4. Select the desired Group by pressing the < or > ramp button to scroll to the desired Group. Only Groups programmed can be selected. 5. The radio is now ready to receive calls. Individual Call 1. If an Individual Call (call directed only to your radio) is received, the radio unsquelches on the assigned Group. The BUSY status flag will light.

followed by one low pitched tone) will sound and the originator’s ID or just “ID” (dependent upon programming) is displayed for a short time. 3. To answer the call, press the PTT button and begin talking if caller’s ID is still in display. If caller’s ID is no longer in display, press the l button to display caller’s ID, then press PTT and begin talking. Group Call 1. When the radio receives a Group Call, it unsquelches on the assigned channel and the BUSY status flag lights. 2. If programmed ON, the Group Call receive tone (single tone) will sound. The Group name originator’s ID (if programmed) will be shown in the display. Interconnect Call 1. When the radio receives an Interconnect Call (telephone call directed to your radio), the radio unsquelches on the assigned channel and the BUSY status flag turns on. 2. If programmed ON, the Interconnect Call received tones (one high followed by one low pitched tone) will sound. The PHONE and p status flags will be displayed. 3. Press the PTT button and begin talking. Sending A Call 1. Turn the radio on and select the desired System and Group as indicated in paragraph TURNING ON RADIO. 2. Observe the display for the absence of the BUSY status flag to ensure that no one is transmitting on the selected System and Group and ensuring radio is in service area. 3. Press and hold the PTT button. The radio will perform the necessary signalling required to obtain a communications channel. If the signalling is unsuccessful, the radio will sound the appropriate alert tone(s).

and the BUSY status flag is displayed. If programmed, the clear to talk tone will sound. 5. Hold the microphone about 3 inches from your mouth and speak normally into the microphone. 6. Release the PTT button to listen for a reply. Sending A Special Call 1. Press the l button to place the radio into the Special Call mode and provide access to a pre-programmed special call alphanumeric list. Each selection from the list is pre-programmed with either an Individual Call or an Interconnect number. If programmed, the special call alphanumeric will be displayed. The PHONE and status flags will be displayed while in the Special Call mode. 2. Use the < or > button to scroll through the Special Call list. 3. Once the desired Individual/Interconnect Call number is displayed, press and hold the PTT button to initiate the call. The radio performs the necessary signalling required to obtain a working channel. 4. INDIVIDUAL - When the signalling is successfully completed, the BUSY status flag is displayed and the clear to talk tone sounds. Speak directly into the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to a reply. INTERCONNECT - When the signalling is successfully completed, the BUSY status flag is displayed and the proper DTMF tones will be sent and heard at the speaker. When someone answers, press the PTT button and speak directly into the microphone. Release the PTT button to listen to a reply. Messages cannot be received when the PTT button is pressed. If the signalling is unsuccessful, the radio will remain in the Special Call mode and sound the appropriate alert tone(s). 5. To return to the normal System/Group, press the c button to exit the Special Call mode.

the same set of features as a standard EDACS system. The only significant user change relates to the BUSY status flag. Since only one channel, operating as both control and working channel, exists in a SCAT System, the BUSY status flag will be displayed when the SCAT channel is in the working channel mode. When the transmission on the channel is completed, the BUSY status flag will not be displayed and indicates the return of SCAT control channel signalling. CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS System, communications may take place in conventional failsoft mode. The radio will be automatically directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose. During this mode of operation, CONV FS will be displayed in the alphanumeric LCD display. An increase in activity on the channel during conventional failsoft operation may be noticed, so be careful not to transmit until the channel is clear. Operation during conventional failsoft will be same as operation on a conventional system, except that it will not be possible to select a communications channel or use emergency and special call features. When trunking is restored, the radio will automatically be returned to normal operation. Emergency and Special Call features are not operational during conventional failsoft. NOTE HOME/EMERGENCY OPERATION The h button can be pre-programmed in one of the following configurations: 1. Home Enabled and Emergency Disabled - The radio will switch to the home System and/or Group. 2. Home Disabled and Emergency Disabled - The button is not active. 3. Home Disabled and Emergency Enabled - The radio will send an emergency transmission on the current System/Group.

System/Group by pressing and holding the h button for the programmed duration. Emergency Operation (Optional) The radio’s ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency and group and the emergency audio and visual display can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When an emergency is declared, scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency has been cleared. Receiving An Emergency Call When receiving an emergency call from the selected System/Group, an alert beep is heard and the BUSY status flag is displayed. The message EMRGNCY flashes in the display until the emergency condition is cleared. Follow standard emergency procedures. Declaring An Emergency Call (Optional Feature) To send an emergency call to the selected System/Group (or to an optionally pre-programmed emergency group), proceed as follows: 1. Press and hold the h button for a pre-programmed duration (check with the system administrator for duration time). The radio will transmit an emergency call request with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received. 2. When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep (programmable) indicating it is ready for voice transmission. EMRGNCY (programmable) flashes in the display until the emergency is cleared. 3. Press the PTT button and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. Release the PTT button to listen for a reply. 4. The emergency can be cleared (if programmed) by pressing momentarily the c button and then pressing the h button.

The radio may be programmed for wide area system scan operation for multi-site applications. Upon the loss of the currently selected system’s control channel, radios may be programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems. If a new control channel is found, the radio will switch to the new system and sound an alert tone. Priority System Scan (Optional) The radio may also be programmed for priority system scan. A priority system may be assigned among the systems programmed into the radio. Radios programmed in this manner will check for the priority trunked system’s control channel at a programmable rate ranging from 1 to 16 minutes. This priority scan timer is reset each time the PTT button is pressed or a call is received. If the priority system control channel is found, the radio will automatically switch to the priority system. Group Scan Only Groups that are part of the radio’s scan list may be scanned. Groups are added to the scan list on a per system basis through PC programming. Each system’s group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off. The radio may also be programmed to provide Priority Group Scan capability which operates similar to priority scan in conventional systems. The following is a description of PC programmable scan features that should be helpful in understanding Group Scan Operation. Scan Hang Time - the delay time the radio waits before resuming scan after PTT is released or after the carrier has dropped a channel. TX Select - the group the radio will transmit on while scanning. The radio will be programmed to transmit on either the scanned group or the selected group. Scan List (privileges) - pre-programmed list of groups that may be scanned. P1 Programming - priority group programming is accomplished by one (and only one) of two methods: 1. Priority 1 Group programming follows the selected channel.

cannot be changed by the user. P1 Always Scan - determines if the Priority Group will always be scanned, regardless of the scan state set by the user. Enable/Disable Scan To enable Group scan, press the s button. The SCAN status flag will be displayed. To disable Group scan, press and release the s button so that the SCAN status flag is not showing in the display. Nuisance Delete A Group can be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing both the s and c buttons during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted Group. The Group will be deleted from the system’s group scan list (the F status flag will not be displayed). Pressing the s and c buttons again will add the selected Group back to the scan list (the F status flag will be displayed). Turning the radio off and then back on will also restore the Group to the scan list. Add/Delete Groups Groups can be added or deleted from the scan list as necessary. To add Groups to the scan list: Scan must be disabled to add/delete a Group on the scan list. NOTE 1. Select the desired Group to be added. If the current group is already included in the scan list, the F status flag will be illuminated. 2. To add the Group to the scan list, press the Y button and then press the s button. The F flag will turn on and the Group will be included on the scan list. To delete Groups on the scan list: 1. Select the desired Group to be deleted. If the current Group is already included on the scan list, the F status flag will be illuminated.

then press the s button. The F flag will turn off and the Group will be removed from the scan list. Priority Group Scan When scan is enabled, the radio will listen for calls on the Groups in the scan list. While receiving a scanned group call, the radio will continue to monitor the Priority Group. If a call is received on a Priority Group while the radio is already connected to a scanned Group, that call will be dropped and the radio will accept the call on the Priority Group. DYNAMIC REGROUPING (OPTIONAL) Dynamic Regrouping is a feature which permits the System Manager to dynamically program new groups into selected radios. Upon development of the regrouping plan, the site controller sends each radio the regroup plan number, “group position” and activate/deactivate commands. Each radio that receives and acknowledges a regrouping instruction is successfully regrouped. When the radio is regrouped, it will alert the user and displays the regroup number (01-08) in the display. Emergency Operation (Optional) If the pre-programmed Group on the currently selected system contains a Home/Emergency group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will exit dynamic regroup and declare the emergency on the HOME Group. If no Home/Emergency group is present, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic regroup Group. DTMF MICROPHONE OPERATION (OPTIONAL) When a DTMF microphone (optional) is used with the mobile radio, several features are available. These include manual individual and interconnect calls, storage of individual and interconnect numbers by the user, recall of user stored individual and interconnect numbers and enable/disable of keypress alert tone. The following paragraphs describe the various operational features when using the optional DTMF microphone. Sending A Manually Entered Individual Call P, 0 - 9, PTT

SCAN OPERATION Wide Area System Scan When operating within a GE-MARC system the radio may be programmed to scan up to 20 Groups from other GE-MARC systems. The radio will scan the groups in the selected systems and if its programmed collect tone is not seen, then it will proceed to scan the groups of the systems in its wide area scan list. The group selection may change upon switching to the new system. Group Scan Only Groups that are part of the radio’s scan list may be scanned. Groups are added to the scan list on a per system basis through PC programming. Each system’s group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off. The radio may also be programmed to provide Priority Group Scan capability which operates similar to priority scan in conventional systems. The following is a description of PC programmable scan features that should be helpful in understanding Group Scan Operation. Scan Hang Time - the delay time the radio waits before resuming scan after PTT is released or after the carrier has dropped a channel. TX Select - the group the radio will transmit on while scanning. The radio will be programmed to transmit on either the scanned group or the selected group. Scan List (privileges) - pre-programmed list of groups that may be scanned. P1 Programming - priority group programming is accomplished by one (and only one) of two methods: 1. Priority 1 Group programming follows the selected channel.

cannot be changed by the user. P1 Always Scan - determines if the Priority Group will always be scanned, regardless of the scan state set by the user. Enable/Disable Scan To enable Group scan, press the s button. The SCAN status flag will be displayed.

When someone answers, press the PTT and speak directly into the microphone. Release the PTT when you stop talking to listen to a reply. 7. At the completion of the call, press and hold the PTT and then press the * or # key (as required by the radio system) to disconnect from the interconnect facility. SCAN OPERATION Only Channels that are part of the radio’s scan list may be scanned. Channels are added to the scan list on a per system basis through PC programming. The scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned off. The radio may also be programmed to provide Priority Scan. The following is a description of PC programmable scan features that should be helpful in understanding Scan Operation. Scan Hang Time - the delay time the radio waits before resuming scan after PTT is released or after the carrier has dropped a channel. TX Select - the channel the radio will transmit on while scanning. The radio will be programmed to transmit on either the scanned channel or the selected channel. Scan List (privileges) - pre-programmed list of channels that may be scanned. P1 Programming - priority programming is accomplished by one (and only one) of two methods: 1. Priority 1 Channel programming follows the selected channel. 2. Priority Channel programming is fixed during PC programming and cannot be changed by the user.

scanned, regardless of the scan state set by the user. Enable/Disable Scan To enable scan, press the s button. The SCAN status flag will be displayed. To disable scan, press and release the s button so that the SCAN status flag is not showing in the display. Add/Delete Channels Channels can be added or deleted from the scan list as necessary. To add Channels to the scan list: Scan must be disabled to add/delete a channel on the scan list. NOTE 1. Select the desired Channel to be added.

The F flag will turn on and the Channel will be included on the scan list. To delete Channels on the scan list: 1. Select the desired Channel to be deleted. If the current channel is already included on the scan list, the F status flag will be illuminated. 2. To delete the Channel from the scan list, press the s button and then press the s button. The F flag will turn off and the Channel will be removed from the scan list. Priority Channel Scan When scan is enabled, the radio will listen for calls on the channels in the scan list. While receiving a scanned channel, the radio will continue to monitor the Priority Channel. If a call is received on a Priority Channel while the radio is already connected to a scanned channel, that call will be dropped and the radio will accept the call on the Priority Channel.

The Selected Channel The SELECTED channel is the channel in the display when scan is turned on by pushing the s switch. When a signal is not being received, the radio reverts to this channel for transmitting. When a signal is being received, the radio can be PC programmed to either revert to the SELECTED channel or remain on the received channel for transmission. The SELECTED channel does not necessarily have to be a channel in the scan list. The SELECTED channel will be temporarily entered into the scan list and scanned until the SELECTED channel is changed. When scan is turned off by pushing the s switch, the radio will return to the SELECTED channel. Display Channel indicator While no signal is being received, the channel indicator will always show the SELECTED channel. When an active channel is received, the channel indicator will show the received channel. SCN indicator When the s button is pushed, the radio will light the SCAN indicator and begin scanning. The SCAN indicator will flash when the microphone is placed off-hook to show the radio is no longer scanning (only if the radio is PC programmed not to scan off-hook). Transmitting While In Scan: Transmitter operation in scan is determined by the PC programming of the radio’s personality. • Off-hook scan not enabled (default): With off-hook scan not enabled (normal default condition), all scanning will stop when the microphone is placed off-hook. The SCAN indicator will flash to show all scanning has stopped. If a signal is not being received when the microphone is placed off- hook, the radio will transmit on the SELECTED channel. If a signal is being received when the microphone is placed off-hook, the radio can be PC programmed (using the "scan transmit option")

channel. When the microphone is placed back on-hook, the radio will immediately start scanning, even if the received channel was still active. • Off-hook scan enabled: With off-hook scan enabled, moving the microphone off-hook will not affect scan operation. The radio will continue scanning. If a signal is not being received, the radio will transmit on the SELECTED channel. If a signal is being received, the radio can be PC programmed (using the "scan transmit channel" option) to either stay on the receive channel or revert to the SELECTED channel when the mic PTT is keyed. • On-hook When the microphone is on-hook (in the microphone hanger) and the radio is not receiving a channel, the radio always transmits on the SELECTED channel. When the radio is receiving a channel the radio’s personality can be programmed to transmit either on the received channel or the SELECTED channel. If the radio was programmed for the SELECTED channel, the display changes to the SELECTED channel when the transmitter is keyed.

ANTENNA REMOVAL It is strongly recommended that your antenna be removed from its mounting prior to passing through an automatic car wash in order to prevent antenna and/or vehicle damage. See your antenna instruction guide for instructions on how to safely remove the antenna from its mounting. FUSE REPLACEMENT The radio is protected by one or more fuses located in the cables connected to the vehicle power source(s). If the radio fails to operate, the problem may be a defective fuse. Replace the fuse(s) with a similar type and size. The fuse may be obtained from the radio supplier or most electrical supply stores. If, however, the trouble persists (continues to blow fuse or inoperative radio), check with the radio supplier. Radio Power ( Orange lead) 10 amp Fast Blow Type AGC15 JUMP STARTING THE VEHICLE Before jump starting or charging the vehicle battery, it is strongly suggested that the main power fuse, located in the orange lead, be removed. This insures that the radio is protected from damage in the battery charging process. Replace the fuse when charging is completed.
