5.2 Volume control
Turn the knob Volume [11] to about half way and adjust it to a comfortable level as
soon as a signal is received. If no signal is received, use the Mon/Scan [19] buon
described at par.5.4.
5.3 Transmit and receive
The buon PTT [12] is located on the top le side of the device. To transmit:
1. Make sure that no one else is currently talking on the selected channel
2. Keep buon PTT[12] rmly pressed. TX [2] will appear on the display
3. Before you start talking, wait for a fracon of a second then speak normally in the
direcon of the microphone, and hold the device at a distance of about 5cm.
4. When you have nished, release the PTT[12]. TX [2] will disappear from the display
5. When the radio is in receiving mode, it will receive any communicaon transmied
on that channel (RX [8] displayed).
The antenna should be more than 25mm away from the head or body while in transmit
mode.
Do not transmit whilst near blasng equipment or in an explosive environment.
Do not let children operate a radio transmier without adult supervision.
Before transming on a UHF channel, listen to ensure it is not already in use.
5.4 MON buon (Monitor)
The Monitor buon is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch in order to listen
to weaker signals. By excluding squelch you will avoid listening to communicaon
“chopped” by the squelch. To acvate the Monitor funcon, so as to listen to all trac
on the selected channel, hold down the MON/SCAN [19] buon for about 2 seconds.
Connue pressing MON/SCAN [19] buon for about 2 seconds to disable this funcon.
5.5 Scanning all channels
Midland G7 XT can automacally search for signals throughout the band by scanning,
i.e. selecng the channels in rapid sequence. When a signal is detected, the scanning
pauses on that channel and you can transmit by pushing PTT [12]. If you press PTT [12]
during scan you can transmit on the channel from which the scanning started.
The scroll buons [20] allow you to change the direcon of scanning (from lower
channels to higher ones or vice versa) and therefore to skip communicaons which are
of no interest. Press briey the buon MON/SCAN [19] to start scanning. To stop scan,
press MON/SCAN [19]. The transceiver will go back to the channel from which the
scanning originally started.
5.6 Display backlight
If there is insucient light to read the display, press the MENU [18] buon to illuminate
for about 5 seconds.
NOTE: Switching on the backlight is an addional drain on the baeries
