User manual
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.
8. No changes or adjustments shall be made to the equipment except by
an authorized or certified electronics technician.
INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the MDX Conventional Mobile Radio.
The MDX is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance simplex
mobile FM radio providing reliable two-way communications. Direct mobile
to mobile communication, when out of repeater range, is also provided.
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
and 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 your
MDX radio.
