General Information
 
With the MCS 2000 you have chosen an excellent 
mobile radio. The Motorola warranty for quality guar-
antees the high standard of Motorola products. Your 
MCS 2000 radio has left our factory only after exten-
sive tests.
 
This user guide describes the way a 
 
standard
 
 
radio works. Since standard operation may be 
changed by programming - both concerning 
the 
 
Functions
 
 which the radio includes and the 
 
Buttons
 
 used to activate them - the way your 
radio operates may differ from what is 
described here. 
The radio 
 
display prompts
 
 may be pro-
grammed into the radio in one of a number of 
different languages. English is the default lan-
guage and is used to describe the displays in 
this user guide.
For further information, contact the person in 
charge of your radio system or your local serv-
 
ice representative.
