SAFETY INFORMATION

The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards common to the operation of vehicular radio transmissions.
A list of 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 vehicles. Do not carry containers of fuel in the trunk of the vehicle.

2. Interference To Vehicular Electronics Systems
   Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid braking systems, etc., are typical of the type 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 the 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 Radios” 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.

**SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS OF MOBILE RADIOS***

Read the literature on the safe operation of your unit.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone on the hooks witch.
Place calls only when the vehicle is stopped.
When talking from a moving vehicle is unavoidable, drive in the slower lane. Keep conversation brief.
If conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the vehicle in a safe place and continue your call.
Whenever you use a mobile radio you should exercise caution.

• As recommended by the AAA.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with the rules  that apply to your particular 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 your two-way radio remember these rules:

1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency message. And, as your radio operates in much the same way as a telephone “party line”, always listen to make sure that the line is clear and that no one else is 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 you keep conversations brief and confine them to business. To save time, use coded messages whenever possible.
5. Using your radio to send personal messages (except in an emergency) is a violation of the FCC rules. You may send only those messages that are essential to the operation of your business.
6. It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known anything you overhear on your radio. Conversations between others sharing your channel must be regarded as confidential.
7. The FCC also requires that you identify yourself at certain times by means of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your particular type of operation for the proper procedure.
8. No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by an authorized or certified electronics technician.

INTRODUCTION

The Monogram Series Mobile Radio utilizes advanced design techniques using state-of-the-art technology. Microcomputer technology and a Phase Locked-Loop (PLL) synthesizer provide the added flexibility and capability inherent in quality radios.
16 channel capability, CTCSS (Channel Guard) and DCS signaling systems compatibility, as well as a quick scan function, (including dual-level priority scan) are all controlled by the microprocessor.
Priority channels on both levels are front panel programmable – and you the operator are in control. You can program your own list of priority channels. An automatic self-check feature is built into the radio. Each time the radio is turned  on, the microprocessor executes a self-check of the microprocessor and indicates proper operation by displaying 4000 in the display window and sounding an alert tone.
For programming, service and repair needs, see your local Service Representative.
He will be happy to service your radio for you.
IMPORTANT
Under U.S. Law, operation of an unlicensed radio transmitter within the jurisdiction of the United States may be punishable by a fine up to $10,000, imprisonment up to two years, or both!

OPERATION

POWER UP/DOWN

1. Turn the radio on by rotating the volume control 1/2 turn clockwise. “4000” appears in the display window for approximately 1 second. A power up alert tone is then sounded for approximately 1 second to indicate proper operation of the microprocessor. The MONITOR push-button will light to indicate operation in the receive mode.
   NOTE
   All receiver tone options are off (disabled) until you press the MONITOR button and the GREEN backlight goes out.
   The display changes to indicate the priority 1 channel (if programmed) or channel No. 1 (Ch:01).

2. Turn the radio off by turning the VOLUME control full counterclockwise.

RECEIVING A CALL

1. Turn the radio on and select the desire frequency by pressing the appropriate channel select pushbutton until the desired channel is displayed.
2. With the Monitor button lit, adjust the volume control to a comfortable listening level.
3. Rotate the SQUELCH control clockwise until the squelch noise (rushing sound) is no longer heard from the speaker and the BUSY LED goes out.
4. Push the Monitor button. The green black light will go out to indicate normal operation.

NOTES
DO NOT adjust the SQUELCH control while other parties are using the channel.
If your radio is equipped with Channel Guard, tone or digital, push the Monitor button (if lit) to enable the option. The CALL LED will now be off.

TO TRANSMIT A MESSAGE

1. Turn the radio on and select the desired channel by pushing the appropriate Channel up ▲ or Channel down ▼ selector button to display the desired channel.
2. Pick up the microphone (or Push the Monitor button while the mic is on-hook) and listen to be sure no one else is using the channel. The Monitor button should be lit and the BUSY LED should be out.
3. Remove the microphone from the hook-switch and push the PTT bar on the side of the microphone. Speak into the microphone in a normal tone of voice. The TX LED will light while the PTT bar is pressed (NOTE: PTT will not  operate while the microphone is “on-hook”).
4. Terminate the call as soon as you are through by releasing the PTT bar.

CHANNEL SCAN OPERATION

Scan permits you to monitor any or all programmed channels; the receiver continuously scrolls through each channel selected from the scan list. The channels to be scanned are user programmable and may or may not be assigned a priority level, its up to you the user to make this determination.

NOTE
If the power is cycled or the channel selector is changed during scan operation, scan must be re-initiated.

NON PRIORITY SCAN
Non-priority operation is initiated by pressing the “S” button. If the “2” button (Monitor) is lit, scan will be faster because the transceiver is looking only for carrier activity not channels programmed for Channel Guard. When not in the  Monitor mode (i.e., “2” button not lit), scanning speed will be slower due to combined search of carrier and channels programmed for Channel Guard.
If your scan list is empty, the “S” button will not light, an alert tone will sound, and scanning will not start.
The scanner will stop on the first channel with activity, and when that activity ceases, the dealer programmed SCAN WAIT TIME will go into effect (for reception of any additional transmissions on that channel). At the end of the scan  wait time, the transceiver will resume scanning, starting with the next channel on the list.
Picking up the microphone (going off-hook) while locked onto an active channel will stop scan and cause the radio to remain locked on that channel for the duration of transmission plus the scan wait time.
Picking up the microphone while not locked onto a channel, will stop scan as above, however, the transceiver will stop on the channel being scanned at the time the microphone was taken off-hook, if no priority channel had been programmed. If a priority channel is programmed, the transceiver will revert to Priority Channel #1, even in the Non-Priority scan mode.
Returning the microphone to the holder (going on-hook) will cause the scan sequence to resume the pre-programmed scan wait time.

1. To enter the non-priority scan mode, press the “S” button; it will light and the radio will start scanning all valid channels on the scan list.
2. To exit the non-priority scan mode, press the “S” button, the radio will return to normal operation.

PRIORITY SCAN

Any of the radio’s programmed channels may be assigned a priority level.
Two levels of priority our available – priority level #1 and priority level

2.

When operating in the scan mode, the scanner will stop on the first scan channel with activity. If that channel is not a priority channel, the scanner will continue to monitor both priority channels at each pre-programmed time interval.  When the radio detects activity on Priority Channel #2, it selects that channel while continuing to monitor Priority Channel #1. When activity occurs on Priority Channel #1, the scanner will immediately select that channel and remain  there until the transmission is completed and the scan wait time has expired.
Picking up the microphone (taking it off-hook) will cause the radio to immediately select Priority Channel #1 for operation. Unless a different operating channel is selected, all transmissions will occur on Priority Channel #1.
Returning the microphone to its holder (on-hook) will return the radio to the scan mode of operation.
Refer to Priority Channel Programming for details.

1. To enter the priority mode, press the “S” and “P” buttons while the microphone is on-hook. Each will light to indicate operation in the priority mode. The radio will now monitor the priority channels at time intervals pre-programmed by your dealer.
2. To exit the priority scan mode, press the “S” and “P” buttons. The radio will return to Priority Channel #1 for normal operation.

LIMITED PRIORITY SCAN

In Limited Priority Scan, the radio operates in the same manner as in Priority Scan, the radio will monitor Priority Channels 1 and 2 (at the intervals programmed by your dealer) as well as the non-priority channel to which you assigned limited priority scan.

1. To enter the Limited Priority Scan mode, press the “P” button while the microphone is on-hook. The “P” button will light and the radio will begin scanning Priority Channels 1 and 2 and the channel you assigned limited priority scan.
2. To exit the limited priority scan mode, press the “P” button. The light will go out and the radio will resume non-priority channel operation.

VACANT CHANNEL SCAN
Operation in the Vacant Channel Scan mode allows you to search for an idle channel. When this mode is selected, the radio will lock onto the first valid channel with no activity. If that channel goes active during the scan wait time, the  radio will resume the search for another inactive channel. The SCAN WAIT TIME (time radio remains on the channel after carrier drops) will remain in effect, however the SCAN DELAY TIME (time required for radio to detect proper  frequency and Channel Guard tone) is turned off.

1. To enter the Vacant Channel Scan Mode, press the “S” button. The “S” light will blink, indicating vacant channel scan is in progress. When a channel is identified, the “S” light will go out and the idle channel number displayed.
2.  To exit the Vacant Channel Scan Mode, press the PTT bar. The TX LED will light.

TRANSMIT TIME OUT TIMER
The Transmit Time Out Timer is a dealer programmable option that disables the radio transmitter if a single transmission (PTT pressed continuously) exceeds a preprogrammed time. When this occurs, the radio reverts to the receive mode, even if the PTT bar is still pressed. Following the time out period, an alert tone is sounded until the PTT bar is released and the TX LED goes out. In this way, the Transmit Time Out Timer minimizes channel abuse.
A transmission can be initiated immediately after releasing the PTT bar by simply pressing the PTT bar again. If the PTT bar is released prior to exceeding the time out period, the radio operates normally (reverts to the receive mode with no alert tone.
The time out period can be set for any period from 10 seconds to 16.5 minutes in 10 second increments.
BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT
The Busy Channel Lockout option prevents inadvertent transmissions on a channel that is already being used. If this option is enabled, pressing the PTT bar while the selected channel is in use will cause all transmit functions, including  the TX LED, to be disabled and a WARNING tone sounded. Transmissions will be allowed only on channels that are idle (BUSY LED off).
FRONT PANEL PROGRAMMING
In the Programming Mode, the user can program the scan list and two Priority Channels, if desired. Entry into the Programming Mode is allowed only during the first four seconds when the radio is turned on.

1. To enter the Programming Mode, turn the radio on and press and hold the “P” Priority button for up to 4 seconds. The radio will sound the prompt tone and display “Prog”. The radio can now be programmed with your scan list,  with or without priorities.

2. To add a channel to the scan list, select the channel and press the “S” button while the channel is flashing in the display. The number will be displayed continuously to indicate that it is stored on the scan list.

3. To select the next channel to be programmed and repeat the procedure above.
   NOTE
   When stopped on a channel in the Programming Mode, the display will blink if the channel is not in the scan list, and be on continuous if already included.

4. To delete a channel from the scan list, press the “1” auxiliary button LED. The display will change from continuous to flashing, indicating the deletion was successful. NOTE
   After selecting a channel to be deleted, use the “1” button to delete it from the scan list.

5.  After you have completed programming your scan list, press the “P” button again, the radio will sound the prompt tone and display “Prog”.

6. To save the scan list, press the “P” button again to enter the scan list into the micro-processor memory.

7. To exit the programming mode, press the “2” button.

PRIORITY CHANNEL PROGRAMMING

1. To display the current priority channel, press the “P” button. Note: you must be in the user programming mode. Refer to Front Panel Programming.
   If Channel 1 is Priority 1, “P1:01″is displayed; if no channel has been assigned priority, then “P1:–” is displayed.

2. Use the Channel up ▲ or the Channel down ▼ to ramp to the desired channel.

3. To delete a priority channel, press the “1” auxiliary button.

4. To save Priority Channel 1 after selecting it, press the “S” button to save it and bring up Priority Channel 2 in the display.

5. If channel 2 is assigned Priority 2, then P2:02″ is displayed. If no channel has been assigned priority, then “P2:–” is displayed.

6. Use the Channel up ▲ or the Channel down ▼ to ramp to the desired channel.

7. To delete priority channel 2, press the “1” auxiliary button

8. After you have completed programming your priority channels, press the “P” button, the radio  will sound the prompt tone and display “Prog”.

9. To exit the programming mode, press the “2” button. The radio will return to the normal operating state on Priority Channel 1, if assigned, or to Ch:01 if no priority channels were programmed into the radio.

ERROR MESSAGES

During normal operation, from turn-on to turn-off, the microprocessor is working. From initial self-check to channel scan operation it is designed to keep you informed of its operating status.
If your radio displays:
ER:01 – there is a problem with the EEPROM (For example, EEPROM not installed or installed incorrectly).
ER:02 – there is a programming problem with channel data. The radio will work, but only on correctly programmed channels.
