4. PREPARING THE TRANSCEIVER
Make sure the following items are supplied in the package before you start using your
transceiver:
2 transceivers; double desktop charger; wall adaptor; 2 battery packs, 800m A/h NiMH; belt clip;
operational manual.
If any of the above is missing or damaged contact your supplier immediately.
4.1 Battery pack recharge
The supplied battery pack is 6V NiMH type and must be recharged without taking it out of the
transceiver; it takes 12 -14 hours to fully recharge.
To recharge the battery pack:
1. Connect the socket of the wall adaptor to a mains power socket and insert the jack of the wall
adaptor into the desktop charger plug.
2. Place your transceiver into the cradle of the desktop charger.
3. When charging is complete take the transceiver out of the cradle and detach the socket of the
wall adaptor from the mains.
! Do not overcharge the batteries! When these are fully charged the charging process
does not stop automatically. Do not forget therefore, to remove the transceiver from the
charger as soon as the batteries are charged.
! Do not try to charge alkaline batteries or non rechargeable batteries. Make sure that
when you charge the radio, only rechargeable NI-MH batteries should be contained
in the battery compartment! It is very dangerous attempting to recharge other types
of batteries (for example alkaline or manganese batteries). Batteries which are not
suitable to be recharged may leak, explode or even burn and cause damage!
! Using a different battery charger other than the one specied can cause damage to
your device or may even cause explosions and personal injuries.
! Do not throw batteries into re or place them near heat as this may cause explosions
or personal injuries. Dispose of the batteries according to procedures set out by local
regulations.
! Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types or batteries which have
been used in different manners.
4.2 Memory effect of rechargeable batteries
Rechargeable NiMH (Nickel-Metal-Hydrate) batteries are affected by what is known as the
“memory effect”. This phenomenon is associated with a drastic reduction of battery autonomy
and is triggered if the batteries are regularly charged before being fully discharged and/or are not
completely recharged. To avoid the memory effect:
• When possible, recharge the batteries only when they are completely discharged (until the
device turns itself off during normal use)
• Do not disconnect the battery charger before the time indicated for a full battery charge.
• Discharge and recharge your batteries completely at least twice a month. In any case, the best
solution for avoiding the memory effect is to use in turn two battery sets: one in use, and the
other as a spare set. The memory effect can be easily eliminated by completely discharging/
charging the batteries 3 or 4 times.
The memory effect should not be confused with the normal battery life, which is 300-400
cycles of charge/discharge on average. It is completely normal for operating duty to decrease
when the batteries have reached the end of their life; at this point, you will need to substitute
the batteries.
4.3 Installing and removing the belt clip
With the belt clip you can easily attach the transceiver to your belt. The clip however, must be
removed in order to install or change the batteries. To remove the belt clip follow the indication of
picture 1. To x the clip back to the device slot it in the guides at the back of the transceiver until
it clicks into place.
4.4 Installing/removing the battery pack
4.4.a Removal
1) Remove the belt clip as explained in
paragraph 4.3;
2) Open the battery compartment as shown
in picture 2;
3) Remove the battery pack;
4) Replace the battery cover and x the belt
clip.
4.4.b Installation
1) Remove the belt clip as explained in
paragraph 4.3;
2) Insert the battery pack into the battery
compartment;
3) Replace the battery cover and x the belt
clip.

Your MIDLAND G7 is designed to provide you with years of optimal performance. If for some
reason problems arise, refer to this chapter before contacting a service centre in your region.
7.1 Reset
If your transceiver experiences a logical malfunction (improper symbols on the display, blocking of
functions, etc.), it may not be experiencing a true failure, but rather a problem caused by external
factors. For example, it may have an incorrect setting brought on by a noise or spikes in the
electrical system during battery recharging. In such cases, you can reset the transceiver to its
factory-programmed settings, by resetting all parameters:
1) Turn off the transceiver
2) Remove the batteries for about 60 seconds (Par.4.4)
Before you go ahead with the reset, we recommend that you take note of all the setting you
have carried out as they will be deleted.

performance of the equipment
2.2 Warnings
! BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the directions and warnings on the batteries stated at
chapter 4.1
! Do not 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 use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equipment. Just use
a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth with a mixture of
water and a neutral soap.
3. IDENTIFYING THE PARTS
