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.
5. Liquefied (LP) Gas Powered Vehicles 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 (NFPA) 58 which requires that: a. Space containing the radio equipment shall be isolated by a seal from the space containing the LP gas container and its fittings. b.
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.
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.
CONTROLS AND INDICATORS CONTROLS ON/OFF/VOLUME CONTROL Turns the radio ON or OFF and allows the user to adjust the volume to the desired listening level. SQUELCH CONTROL Quiets the radio receiver when there are no incoming calls. Maximum squelch is obtained at full clockwise rotation. CHANNEL SELECT (CH) Enables you to select any of the preprogram- med channels by pressing either of the channel selector push-buttons (up or down).
SCAN PUSH-BUTTON Turns the SCAN function ON or OFF (ON indicated by a RED backlit display). Provides the "ENTER" function during scan programming. PRIORITY SCAN PUSH-BUTTON Turns priority scan on/off (ON indicated by a green backlit display). Provides access to programming mode at radio turn-on. AUXILIARY SPEAKER Functionally, it replaces the internal speaker with PUSH-BUTTON the auxiliary speaker. This function must be (Optional) re-initialized after power is cycled (OFF/ON).
ALERT TONES Self Check ALERT TONE - Sounded for one second each time the radio is turned on and the microprocessor completes its self-check. It also indicates proper operation by momentarily displaying 4000 in the display window. POWER UP - A power up alert tone is sounded to indicate proper operation of the microprocessor. SCAN LIST EMPTY - If your scan list is empty, the "S" button will not light, an alert tone will sound, and scanning will not start.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 st opped on a channel i n the Programming Mode, the display will blink if the channel is not in the scan list, and be on continuous if already included. 4.
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 Pro-gramming. 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.
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.

QUICK REFERENCE CARD RADIO ON/OFF, POWER UP 1. Turn the radio on by rotating the on/off control 1/2 turn clockwise after "4000" appears in the display and the power up alert tone is generated, the display will change to indicate the #1 priority channel. If no priority channel is programmed, the display will change to channel 1. 2. Turn the radio off by rotating the on/off control fully counterclockwise.
7. Exit the scan mode by pressing "S". Your radio will return to normal operation. NOTE: If your scan list is empty/unprogrammed, the "S" will not illuminate, scan will not start and an alert tone will sound. Priority Scan 1. With microphone on-hook, press the "S" and "P". Each will illuminate and the radio will be in the priority scan mode. 2. The scanner stops on the first scan channel with activity.
