INTRODUCTION THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RITRON BASIC FEATURES Congratulations on your purchase of the “Display Series” base station. Your new radio is the result of Ritron’s more than 30 years history 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.
INTRODUCTION Special Feature “Z” button. The “Z” button is capable of performing one of a variety of functions. These functions can be PC programmed by your dealer OR certain functions (in bold) can also be assigned to the “Z” button by the end user. “Z” button function options: Channel Scan, Weather Channel, Monitor, Send 2-Tone Code*, Send Call Tone, Send DTMF ANI (PC programmable by your Ritron dealer).
CONTROL & OPERATION 1 2 3 4 5 CHANNEL DISPLAY The channel display will indicate the current operating channel. When the Scan Channel is selected the display will rapidly flash the channels being scanned, and will stop when a channel is received. The channel display also indicates the volume level between 0-9 whenever a volume control is pressed.
OPERATION As long as the Volume Up button is held down the volume will increase and the display will indicate the volume level as number between 0 and 9. When the Volume Down button is held down the volume will decrease and the display will indicate the volume level as a number between 9 and 0. FIG-2: VOLUME LEVEL INDICATOR ON-OFF VOLUME ADJUST To turn on the radio - press the On / Volume Up button. The radio will sound the Channel Beep. If the radio turns on to the Scan Channel it will emit the Scan Beep.
OPERATION When Carrier or Tone Squelch is selected by the user, all channels will operate in that mode. The JBS / PBS “D-Series” base station will operate in tone squelch mode when it is first turned on. QC AND DQC TONE CODES Tone codes filter out static, noise and reduce unwanted “chatter” on radio channels. When you operate on a frequency with a tone code, you screen out most interference. This allows you to communicate with less interference and to hear only those users in your radio group.
OPERATION RADIO ALERT TONES The base station responds to certain instructions by sounding a beep or series of tones. These tones can tell you that the radio is working as you expect. Power On / Self Check “OK” When it is first turned on, the base station runs a quick “self test” to confirm basic functions. When complete the base station will emit the Channel Beep and the Channel Display will show the operating channel. The base station is then ready to use.
OPERATION CHANNEL SCAN OPERATION Channel scanning allows you to listen to broadcasts on your radio channels. The JBS / PBS “Display-Series’ base station 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 base station 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.
OPERATION With Priority Scan enabled: The first channel in the scan list is the Priority Channel. The radio checks the Priority Channel every two seconds to check for activity. This time is programmable and can be set for 1 - 8 seconds. The base station can be programmed to transmit only on the Priority Channel when scanning.
OPERATION “Z” BUTTON - PROGRAMMABLE SOFT KEY CALL TONE The “Z” button is capable performing one of a variety of functions. These functions can be PC programmed by your dealer OR certain functions can also be assigned to the “Z” button by the end user. Function options: Channel Scan, Weather Channel, Monitor, Send 2-Tone Code, Send Call Tone, Send DTMF ANI (PC programmable by your Ritron dealer). Refer to the Dealer PC programmer HELP file for specific “Z” button programming instructions.
NOAA WEATHER RADIO FEATURE NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) is a nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather information direct from a nearby National Weather Service office. NWR broadcasts National Weather Service warnings, watches, forecasts and other hazard information 24 hours a day. Working with the Federal Communication Commission’s (FCC) Emergency Alert System, NWR is an “all hazards” radio network, making it your single source for comprehensive weather and emergency information.
NOAA WEATHER RADIO FEATURE 1. Press & hold the Volume Down / Off button until the “Radio Off” tones are heard, then release. 3. Press & release the On / Volume Up button – the radio will start beeping. NOAA WEATHER ALERT FEATURE Once a NOAA weather frequency has been selected on your VHF model base station it will listen for emergency broadcasts from the National Weather Service, regardless of which channel you are on.
RADIO PROGRAMMING HOW TO READOUT FIELD PROGRAMMABLE FREQUENCY & TONE CODES IMPORTANT To talk to other users in your group, all radios must be set to the same frequency and Interference Eliminator codes. 1. Press & hold the Volume Down / Off button until the “Radio Off” tones are heard, then release. 3. Press & release the On / Volume Up button – the radio will start beeping. In our example, channel 3 of a UHF radio is programmed to operate on the “Brown Dot” frequency of 464.
RADIO PROGRAMMING HOW TO FIELD PROGRAM FREQUENCY & TONE CODES 7. Enter the 1st digit of the frequency code by clicking the PTT button until the channel display shows the desired number. Pause - the radio will sound a low tone and show a hyphen across the center of the display to indicate that it is ready to accept the next digit. 8. Enter the 2nd digit of the frequency code by clicking the PTT button until the channel display shows the desired number.

RADIO PROGRAMMING HOW TO DELETE A CHANNEL Following the instructions in “How to Field Program Frequency & Tone Codes” on page 13, enter a Frequency Code of “00” and a Tone Code of “00”. Once a channel has been deleted it is no longer available with the Channel Selector. A deleted channel can be added back at any time. To add a deleted channel back, follow the instructions in “How to Field Program Frequency & Tone Codes” on page 13.
!! CAUTIONS – ALL RADIOS !! OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT: LOCATION: Be aware that this radio and / or antenna may create interference with, or be interfered with, by nearby electronic equipment such as computers, monitors, keyboards, electronic telephones and other sensitive devices. Either move the equipment or use a remote antenna to separate components sufficiently to stop or reduce interference.
TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES 1. Reception can often be improved if you relocate by a short distance. This effect is more noticeable inside buildings. The range of the “Display Series” base radio is approximately two miles, line-of-sight. CHART If you have trouble operating the base radio, review the Control & Operation, pages 3 through 9. If you think the base radio is malfunctioning, check the list below. Problem 2.
SPECIAL APPLICATION HOW TO FIELD PROGRAM 2-TONE ENCODE CODES 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/pdf/gg_07.pdf). This application requires you to program the radio(s) that will be sending the command for 2-Tone code operation, and radio(s) that will be receiving the command (e.g. Ritron Callbox) for 2-Tone Encode operation.
FCC & IC LICENSE REQUIRED LICENSING The FCC requires the owners of the radios to obtain a station license before using them. HOW TO OBTAIN AN FCC RADIO LICENSE Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Licensing Information 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.
