CONTROL & OPERATION 1 ANTENNA The flexible antenna radiates and receives radio signals. Screw the antenna base all the way into the threaded bushing on top of the radio. NOTE: 2 Use only the type of antenna furnished with the radio. VHF and UHF antennas are not interchangeable. ON/ VOLUME UP To switch the unit On, press the On/ Volume Up button; the speaker will emit a turn on beep. If the radio turns on to the Scan Channel it will emit the Scan Beep.
OPERATION ON-OFF / VOLUME ADJUST RECEIVE To switch on the radio - press the On/Volume Up button. The radio will emit the Channel beep. If the radio turns on to the Scan Channel it will emit the Scan Beep. The radio will always turn on to the channel that was selected when it was last turned off. To hear calls from other users - adjust the volume as desired. The radio can only receive broadcasts while the Push-To-Talk button is not being pressed.
OPERATION TRANSMIT OPTIONAL ALERT TONES Normally, you should not transmit until the channel is quiet. This can be determined by monitoring the channel prior to transmitting. To transmit - hold down the Push-To-Talk button and with the radio four inches away talk into the microphone. Speak in a normal tone, since talking louder will not improve the listeners reception.
OPERATION CHANNEL SCAN OPERATION Channel scanning allows you to listen to broadcasts on your radio channels. The JMX "D-Series" will scan all channels programmed into the radio except the NOAA Weather Channel. How Scanning Works Using the Channel Selector button, select the Scan Channel. The radio sounds the Scan Beep, and then repeatedly checks each channel in the scan list. The channel display will show the channel numbers as they are scanned.

BATTERIES CAUTION: Use only RITRON-supplied chargers; using other chargers may cause fire or explosion, or otherwise damage the radio. CHARGING The JMX "D-Series" radio is powered by a rechargeable battery pack. Because the battery pack loses its charge during storage and shipment, fully charge it before first use. To ensure peak radio performance for the next day, charge the battery overnight after each day of use. It completely charges in about ten hours.
!! CAUTIONS ALL RADIOS !! OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT: MOISTURE: JMX "D-Series" radios are not waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to rain or excessive moisture. CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum products can damage the radio case. DO NOT use petroleum solvents of any kind; use a soft cloth moistened with water to clean the case. EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can damage the battery and other components.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES 1. Try a battery pack from a working radio. If the radio in question works with that pack, the original battery is suspect. Charge the suspect battery as recommended in this manual. If this original battery cannot power the radio, try charging it again with another charger. If the battery still doesn't hold a charge, the pack should probably be replaced. If the battery appears to be "good" after using the second charger, the first charger may be faulty.
FCC LICENSE REQUIRED FCC REGULATIONS HOW TO OBTAIN AN FCC RADIO LICENSE LICENSING The FCC requires the owners of the radios to obtain a station license before using them. The station licensee is responsible for ensuring that transmitter power, frequency and deviation are within the limits specified by the station license. The station licensee is also responsible for proper operation and maintenance of the radio equipment.
