Transmit/Receive channels are chosen from the frequencies programmed by switches inside the cover. Refer to the channel data list and set DIP switches for the desired frequency.
6 All connections to the unit are made through the DB9 connector. Connect wiring according to the diagram below. Connections to DB-9 connector: 1. Mod in (data). Audio sensitivity is 100mV RMS @ 60% Peak deviation. 2. AF out (data) (0.25 volt rms) 3. PTT . Ground to transmit. 4. GND 5. V in . 9-18 VDC 6. Busy Detector 0 volts DC = busy, 5 volts DC = open 7. Audio/Mic in. Sensitivity 5 mV. Typ. 8. Switch 9. Spkr out. 1 V. rms. typ. to 8 ohm load. PS current: Power save 15-30 mA. typ. Standby 30-50 mA. typ. Receive 35-60 mA. typ. Transmit Low power 400-650 mA. typ. Transmit High power 1100-1800 mA. typ. How to Program 70-x01BD. Requirement : PC running DOS or Windows 95/98, 70-1410K kit including: Programing box, Programming Cable, and Software on one 3.5 disc. (Optional: dot matrix printer) Connection Diagram Programming cable Com port
7 PC Programming box 1. Install ACC900 by copying ACC900.exe to your PC or running it from the floppy disk. 2. Connect the 70-x01 Unit through the Programming box and cable to the PC .(See Connection Diagram) 3. Run Acc900.exe and select Band, 70-101BD VHF or 70-201BD UHF. 4. After selecting Band, Press Enter. The screen will show 5. On first operation you will need to set the Com Port and path to data files before beginning to program radios. 6. To read radio channel data from a unit, first push box switch ON (DOWN). Second you must select read radio from the software then Push Switch READ and wait for the download to complete. If everything is OK Red LED will show while reading. The screen will show: 70-x01BD SUPPLY 12 V DC ON/OFF WRITE READ Radio Model 70-101BD VHF 70-201BD UHF Setup & Select Data Source 1.

95.0145.0IMPORTANT NOTICE FCC LICENCE REQUIREDThe M222P operates on GMRS (Gerneral Mobile Radio Service) frequencieswhich require an FCC (Federal Communications Commission) license. Information on how to apply for a license is included in the owner's manual. Auser must be licensed prior to operating on channels 1 - 7 or 15 - 22, whichcomprise the GMRS channels of the M222P. Serious penalties could result for unlicensed use of GMRS channels, in violation of FCC rules, as stipulated inthe Communications Act's Sections 501 and 502 (amended).Licensed users will be issued a call sign by the FCC which should be used forstation identification when operating the M222P. GMRS users should also cooperate by engaging in permissible transmissions only, avoiding channelinterference with other GMRS users, and being prudent with the lenght of theirtransmission time.Questions regarding the license application should be directed to the FCC at1-888-CALL FCC. Additional information is available on the FCC's website atwww.fcc.gov/wtb/prs/genmbl.htmlExposure To Radio Frequency EnergyYour Midland radio is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human being toradio frequency electromagnetic energy: = United Statse Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations: 47 CFR part 2 sub-part J = American National Standards Indtitute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992 = Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition = National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurements (NCRP) of the Unitates, Report 86, 1986 = International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1998To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the general populationor uncontrolled environment exposure limits, transmit no more than 50% of the time. The radio generates measuable RF energy exposure only when transmitting.
FCC Warning: For transmitter designed to operate above 25 MHz shall not be certificated for use under this part if the operator can program and transmit on frequencies, other than those programmed by the manufacturer, service or maintenance personnel, using the equipment’s external operation controls. The operator’s manual for this equipment states on page 7 under ‘installation and programming’ that the equipment supplier or qualified radio tradesman using the Titan Base Repeater programming software are the only ones that can change the transmitting frequencies.
