INTRODUCTION THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RITRON FEATURES Congratulations on your purchase of the JMX "D-Series" radio. Your new radio is the result of Ritron's 25+ years of designing, manufacturing, and supplying reliable, professional wireless communication products. Ritron wireless products will improve the operation, safety, and profitability of any organization by providing instant voice communications between employees throughout the workplace. This manual covers the JMX "D-Series" radios.
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 To turn on the radio - press the On/Volume Up button. The radio will emit a beep and the channel display will light. 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 adjust the volume - press the volume up or volume down button until you reach the desired level. The volume level is displayed as a number between 0 through 9.
OPERATION QC TONE CODES (Interference Eliminator Codes) Tone codes help filter out the "chatter" of others that share your radio channel. When you operate on a frequency with a tone code, you screen out most interference. This allows you to hear only those users in your radio group. IMPORTANT! All radios in the talk group must operate on the same frequency and tone code. TRANSMIT Normally, you should not transmit until the channel is quiet.
OPERATION SCAN CHANNEL OPERATION Last Channel Scanned Alert Tone ADDITIONAL FEATURES Channel scanning allows you to listen to broadcasts on your radio channels. The JMX "D-Series" (except JMX-111D) will scan all channels programmed into the radio with the exception of the NOAA Weather Channel, refer to page 6. When changing channels with the Channel Selector button, an alert tone will sound to indicate the last channel that received a message when the radio was scanning.

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.
Have questions? Call 800-USA-1-USA (800-872-1872) or visit our website at www.ritron.com SPECIAL APPLICATION HOW TO FIELD PROGRAM TWO-TONE ENCODE CODES THIS FEATURE AVAILABLE ON JMX-144D/446D/444D MODELS ONLY For special applications, it is possible to use your Ritron portable radio or base station for remote control applications; such as opening or closing a gate remotely (see Ritron GateGuard at www.ritron.com/gg_04.pdf). This application requires you to program your radio for 2-Tone encode operation.
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.
