SAFETY INFORMATION
The operator of any mobile radio should be aware of certain hazards
common to the opera ti on of ve hi c ular ra di o tran sm issi ons.
A list of possible haza rds ar e:
1. Explosive At mosphe res
Just as it is dangerous to fuel a vehicle with the motor running, be
sure to turn the radio off while fueling the vehicles. Do not carry
containe rs of fuel in the trunk of the vehi cle .
2. Inte rfe re nce To Vehicular E le c tr oni cs S y st e ms
Electronic fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid braking systems, etc., are typical of the type of electronic devices that may
malfunct ion due to th e lack of prote ction from radio freque ncy en ergy
present when transmitting. If the vehicle contains such equipment,
consult the dealer for the make of the vehicle and enlist his aid in
determining if such electronic circuits perform normally when the
radio is tra n sm it ti ng.
3. Dynamite Blasting Caps
Dynamite blasting ca ps may be caused to expl ode by operating a radi o
within 500 fe et of the bla sting c aps. Al ways ob ey the "T ur n Of f T w o
W a y Radi os" sign s poste d where dyna m ite is being use d.
When transporti ng bl a stin g caps in your ve hi cle :
a. Ca rry the bla sti ng ca ps in a closed meta l box wit h a soft lini ng.
b. Leave the radio OFF whenever the blasting caps are being put
into or removed from the vehicle.
4. Radi o F requency E nergy
To prevent burns or related physical injury from radio frequency
energy, do not operate the transmitter when anyone outside of the
vehicl e is wi th in t w o fe et of th e a nt en na.

5. Liquefied (LP) Ga s Powe red Vehicles
Mobile radio installa tions in vehicles powered by liquef ied petroleum
gas with the LP gas container in the trunk or other sealed-off space
within the interior of the vehicle must conform to the National Fire
Protection Association standard (NFPA) 58 which requires that:
a. Space co nta i ning the ra di o e qui pment sh al l be isolate d by a se al
from the space con tain ing the LP gas conta ine r and i ts fit ti ngs.
b. Outside fill ing connect ions shall be used for the LP gas conta iner .
c. The LP gas contai ner shall be vente d to the outside of the veh icle.
SAFE DRIVING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USERS OF MOBILE
RADIOS*
Read the lite ra t ure on the safe ope ration of your uni t.
Keep both hands on the steering wheel and the microphone on the
hookswitch.
Place call s only when the vehic l e is stoppe d.
When talki ng fro m a moving vehi cle is unav oidabl e, drive in the slow er
lane. Keep conversation brief .
If conversation requires taking notes or complex thought, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and conti nue your ca ll.
Wheneve r you use a mobi le radi o you should exe rc ise caut io n.
* As recommended by the AAA.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
T wo-way FM r adio systems m ust be operat ed in accord ance with the rules
and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). As an
operator of two-way radio equipment, you must be thoroughly familiar with
the rules that appl y to your partic ular typ e of radio oper ation. Following th ese
rules will he lp to el iminate confusi on, a ssure the most ef ficien t use o f exi sting
radio ch an ne ls, and result in a smoot hly func ti oni ng ra dio network.

When using your two-wa y ra dio re mem be r these rules:
1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or emergency
message. And, as your radio operates in much the same way as a
telephone "p arty lin e", alway s listen to m ake sure that the l ine is cle ar
and that no one else is on the air before sending messages. If someone
is sending an eme r ge nc y me ssage , suc h as re po rting a fir e, or askin g
for help in an ac cident - KEEP OFF THE AIR! Emergenc y call s
have priority over all othe r messag es.
2. Use of profane or ob sce ne langu ag e is prohi bite d by Fe de ral law.
3. It is against the law to send false call letters, or a false distress or
emergency message.
4. The FCC requires tha t you keep conversations brie f and confine them
to business. To save time, use coded m essa ge s whe neve r possib le.
5. Using your radio to send personal mes sages (except in an emergency )
is a violation of the FCC rules. You may send only those messages
that are essential to the operat ion of your busin ess.
6. It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise make known
anything you overhear on your radio. Conversations between others
sharing your cha nn el mu st be reg arde d as c onfi de ntia l.
7. The FCC also requires that you identify yourself at certain times by
means of your call letters. Refer to the rules that apply to your
partic ul ar type of op er ation for the proper pr oc edure.
8. No chang es o r adjustm ents sha ll b e made to th e e quipm ent exce pt b y
an autho riz e d or c e rti fi ed el ec t roni c s tec hn ic ia n.

INTRODUCTION
The Monogram Series Mobile Radio utilizes advanced design techniques
using state-of-the-art technology. Microcomputer technology and a Phase
Locked-Loop (PLL) synthesizer provide the added flexibility and capability
inhere nt i n qua li ty rad ios.
16 channel capability, CTCSS (Channel Guard) and DCS signaling systems compatibility, as well as a quick scan function, (including dual-level
priority scan) are all controlled by the micr opro cessor.
Priority channels on both levels are front panel programmable - and you
the opera tor are in cont rol. You can progra m your o wn list of priority channe ls.
An automatic self-chec k fe a ture is built into t he ra dio . E a ch t im e the radio
is turned on, the microprocessor executes a self-check of the microprocessor
and indicate s prop er opera ti on by displa yin g 400 0 in the di spla y wi ndo w an d
sounding an alert tone.
For program m ing, service and re pair needs, see your local Service Representative . He wil l be happy to servic e your radio fo r you.
