Introduction

Congratulations! You now own the best value in heavy-duty trunking radio

systems...a Uniden two-way FM mobile transceiver. The SVS8025TSE is an
800 MHz, 15 Watt, alphanumeric display subscriber unit that operates in a
trunked wireless communications environment. In a trunking system, several
radio channels are combined with high powered repeater stations to extend
the communications range and provide more efficient channel access. The
SVS8025TSE is also compatible with ESAS® (Extended Sub-Audible
Signaling). This is Uniden’s networking system for switched trunked call
processing and sophisticated data and text communications. Uniden dealers
can program the SVS8025TSE radio to include many features to meet your
needs.

Read this Operating Guide completely to be sure you are getting the most
from your radio.

Licensing

Before using your radio, you may need a license issued by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). Your Uniden dealer can help you with
this requirement and with all your future communication needs.

Technical Support and Service

Your Uniden dealer can provide you with technical assistance and
information. If your radio does not perform properly, take it to a Uniden dealer
for servicing. The radio contains no user-serviceable parts. Unauthorized
adjustment will void the warranty and may cause illegal radio operation.
Make sure that a qualified technician services your radio equipment. When
servicing the radio, use only factory-authorized replacement parts.

Features, specifications, and availability of optional accessories are all
subject to change without notice.

remain part of the original group, when the radio is in a different cell.

stolen or when service is disconnected.
