5 Content of the packaging CT transceiver with belt clip i-ion battery pack mh.v fast desktop charger wall adaptor ntenna If any item is missing, please verify with your Midland dealer. Maintenance Your Two Way adio is an electronic product of exact design and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years. Do not attempt to open the radio for any reason! The radio s precision mechanics and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same reason, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will void the warranty. Do not store the adio under the sunshine or in hot areas. igh temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the radio in dusty and dirty areas. Keep the adio dry. ainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits. If it appears that the adio diffuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut off its power immediately and take off the charger or battery from the radio. Do not transmit without antenna.

10 echarge The battery pack is not charged, charge it before use. Initially charging the battery pack after purchase or extended storage (longer than months) will not bring the battery pack to its greatest or its normal capacity.. Plug the C adapter into the back of the charger. Then plug the power cable of the adapter into city electric power.. Slide the i-ion battery pack or radio with a i-ion battery pack into the charger. Make sure the battery pack is connected with the charging terminals. When charging starts, the led lights up red on the desktop charger. When the battery pack is completely charged, the led turns green. emove the battery or the radio from the charger. GING NOTES fter the battery is charged to its highest capacity, don t charge anymore. Do not short-circuit the battery terminals or throw the battery into fire. Never attempt to remove the casing from the battery pack. Please turn the power off before charging. It will affect the battery life when charging the power-on radio. If the radio still shows low power after the normal charge, please change the battery. The average usage time of battery pack is hours. verage usage time is % for transmitting, % for receiving and % for standby. CT user s manual

19 Functions and operations Squelch level () - No. This function turns on the Squelch when the signal is strong; the Squelch will stay off when the signal is weak. Set the same DCS codes of your group and turn on the squelch. By setting the level too high, you may not receive the weak signals; while by setting it too low you may receive noises or undesired signals. There are levels available: from to. = lowest; = highest Step frequency (P) - No. This function lets you select the desired frequency step. The selectable steps are the following:.//./././ Kz Note: in channel mode, this function cannot be enabled. Output power () - No. In this you can select the high/low output power. ow power = W; igh power = W / W Note: select the output power can improve the quality of the call, while the low output power can reduce the radiation and the battery capacity loss. In channel mode the fast # to switch between the high or low output power ( No.). Battery save () - No. The power save feature enables a reduction in the consumption of the battery when the radio is in standby. You have selections available: / : / : / : / :. For example: : = s working and s battery saving. : = s working and s battery saving. Function () - No. This function allows hands-free conversations: just speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be automatically activated.

Note: we suggest you setting -s levels. Dual Watch Operation () - No. When this function is activated, you can receive the frequency of channel and channel B at the same time. If a signal is detected, will blink on the corresponding channel or frequency. Note: In Dual Watch operation mode, you can change the parameter of B channel or frequency freely. Keypad beep () - No. When this function is enabled, everytime a button is ed, you will hear a beep tone. Time-Out-Timer () - No. The function is used to prevent a too long transmission and limits the tx time: temporarily stops the transmssion if the radio has been used beyond the max pre-set time (for example s, s, s, etc). eceiving DCS () - No. DCS codes are similar to access codes and can be added to channels, so as to create a sort of personal channel. They enable the radio to communicate with the users that are tuned on the same channel and have set the same DCS code. CT user s manual

21 You can choose amongst: : : DN-DN (Normal DCS) : DI-DI (Inverse DCS) Note: In CT there are groups of normal and inverse DCS codes. This function cannot be used in channel mode. eceiving CTCSS (S) - No. s DCS codes, the CTCSS codes can be added to the channels for creating new private channels. Note: there are groups of CTCSS tones. In channel mode the CTCSS tones cannot be enabled. Transmitting DCS - () - No. In this Menu you activate a DCS code in tx mode. Note: the groups of DCS codes are. DCS codes cannot be set in channel mode. Transmitting CTCSS (S) - No. In this Menu you can set a CTCSS tone in tx mode. You can choose: or CTCSS (. to. z) Note: there are groups of CTCSS tones. In channel mode the CTCSS tones cannot be enabled. Voice function () - No. With this function, you activate a voice that informs you about any operation/ selection you are doing. () - No. With this function you can set your ID-code. It can be programmed by the proper programming software. You can edit up to digits. () - No. Thanks to the DTMF, while you are transmitting, the receiver can hear the DTMF and code. You can choose amongst the following options: CT user s manual

22 : : NI-ST: DTMF disabled. if you any on the pad during transmission, the speaker will send out the corresponding DTMF tone. When you the PTT, the radio automatically emits a DTMF sound. DT+NI: When transmitting, the NI code and the DTMF tones will be activated by the speaker of the radio. Note: select when using in case of affecting the radio. Signal code () - No. Thanks to this function, you can set a radio signal code. You can set up to groups. This function is enabled by the programming software. SCN esume Mode () - No. Thanks to this function, CT can SCN in frequency or channel mode. You can choose amongst three options: - Time-operated SCN Whenever a signal is detected, the radio will suspend the SCN for seconds, and then will continue to SCN even if the signal is still present. CO: Carrier-operated SCN Whenever a signal is detected, the radio will stop scanning. It will resume to SCN once the signal will disappear. : Search SCN The radio will stop scanning once a signal is detected. () - No. With this function you can decide when sending the code in tx mode. You can choose amongst possibilities. : PTT to turn it off : the code is sent when you the PTT EOT: the code is sent when the PTT is released : the code is sent when you and release the PTT Note: select when using in case of affecting the radio. PTT ID delay () - No. In this you can set the delay time (-ms) sending the. Note: select in normal using. CT user s manual

23 Channel Display Mode () - No. This function is used to set the display mode of channel. Display modes:.: Frequency + channel No. : Channel number NME: Channel name Note: Channel name mode must be set by the programming software. Up to three numbers or characters can be edited. Channel B Display Mode () - No. This function is used to set the display mode of channel B. Display modes:.: Frequency + channel No. : Channel number NME: Channel name Note: Channel name mode must be set by the programming software. Up to three numbers or characters can be edited. Busy Channel ock () - No. When this function is on, it may prevent other radios interference. If the selected channel is being used by other radios, when you PTT, your radio cannot transmit. It can transmit only when the channel is no longer busy. uto Keypad ock () - No. When this feature is activated, the pad will be automatically locked after s; this prevents accidental ure of any s. Shift direction () - No. Using this function, you may set the deviation between the rx and tx frequency. This function is particularly used for repeaters. You have the following options: Transmitting frequency is higher than receiving frequency (+); Transmitting frequency is lower than receiving frequency (-); Note: you should set different frequency deviation according to the repeaters selected.
