General Information
Congratulations on choosing the GM950, an
excellent mobile radio. Motorola’s stringent quality
procedures guarantee the high standard of
Motorola products. Your radio has left our factory
only after extensive tests.
This user guide describes the way a standard radio
works. Since standard operation may be changed
by programming, the way your radio operates may
differ slightly from what is described here.
If in doubt contact the person in charge of your
radio system or the Motorola dealer who supplied
the equipment.
WARNING: When installing or removing the
mobile radio from the vehicle,
the radio must be switched off.
