The antenna supplied by the manufacturer or radio dealer must be mounted at a location such that during radio transmission, no person or persons can come closer than the above indicated minimum safe distance to the antenna, i.e. 38 inches. To comply with current FCC RF exposure limits, the antenna must be installed at or exceeding the minimum safe distance stated above, and in accordance with the requirements of the antenna manufacturer or supplier. Vehicle Installation Instructions: The antenna used for this transmitter must be mounted on the center of the roof ONLY and must be installed in vehicle having the following characteristics in order to prevent bystanders and passengers from being exposed to levels exceeding the limits for General Population/Uncontrolled Exposure environment: 1. All passengers must be sitting under a solid metal roof. 2. Rooftop width must be at least 76 inches (183 centimeters) OR the edges of the physical boundary of the vehicle must be at least 76 inches apart. DO NOT operate the radio without the proper antenna installed. Do not substitute any antenna for the one supplied or recommended by the manufacturer or radio dealer. The antenna gain must not exceed 0 dBd. By not following the antenna recommendations you may be exposing person(s) to excess radio frequency radiation. You may contact your radio dealer or the manufacturer for further instructions. DO NOT transmit more than 50% of total radio use time (50% duty cycle). Transmitting for more than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. This radio is transmitting whenever the TX icon is displayed on the radio LCD. Pressing the PTT switch on the side of the microphone normally causes the radio to transmit.  The preceding information is provided to make you aware of RF exposure and how to ensure that this radio is operated within FCC RF exposure limits. You, as the qualified end-user of this radio device must control the exposure conditions of bystanders to ensure the minimum separation distance, stated above for satisfying FCC RF exposure compliance, is maintained between the antenna and nearby persons.

This transceiver should be installed in 12V negative ground vehicles only. Complete installation instructions are available in the corresponding radio service manual. Antenna selection, installation and positioning requires knowledge of RF radiation and exposure conditions and should be performed by qualified personnel only. Please consult your dealer or communications coordinator for more information.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation 13 Operation Turning the Radio On and Off Press and hold the power/volume knob for two seconds to turn the radio on. The radio will perform a power-on test, which includes lighting all display segments and may sound a single beep when complete. Under certain circumstances, such as after the radio has been reprogrammed, it may also display a check code and sound a triple beep. Rotate the volume knob clockwise to increase the volume. Channel Selection Rotate the channel/menu knob to select the channel. The radio may be programmed to stop or Rollover when it reaches the highest and lowest channels. Please consult your dealer or communications coordinator regarding channels programmed in your radio. Group Selection Your radio channels may be organized into channel groupings that further sort and organize your channels. To select a different group of channels, press the channel/menu knob twice, or until the GRP is displayed, then rotate to the channel/menu knob until the desired new group number or name is displayed. To exit, press the channel/menu knob repeatedly until the first channel in the new group is displayed. Please consult your dealer or communications coordinator regarding channel groups programmed in your radio. Receiving Transmissions from Other Radios Each channel of your radio may be programmed for carrier squelch operation, CTCSS/DCS operation or 2-tone operation. The following paragraphs describe these modes of operation. Ask your dealer or communications coordinator if you have questions on how your radio has been programmed to operate.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 14 © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation Carrier Squelch Operation A signal that matches the programmed receive frequency will be heard if it is of sufficient strength to exceed the squelch threshold. An on frequency signal exceeding the squelch threshold level will be indicated by the BUSY icon. CTCSS/DCS Operation CTCSS or DCS signaling adds an additional condition to carrier squelch operation. In addition to the signal having to exceed the squelch threshold level, the received signal must also have the correct CTCSS or DCS tone or code before the audio will be passed to the speaker. CTCSS or DCS signaling allows multiple users on the same frequency to hear only signals which have their correct CTCSS tone or DCS code. An on frequency signal without the correct CTCSS or DCS signal will be indicated by the BUSY icon while no audio is heard.  CTCSS/DCS allows multiple users to share the same frequency. However CTCSS/DCS is only useful to avoid disturbing other users with messages not related to them. If more than one radio is transmitting at the same time, this will cause interference. Do not transmit if the BUSY icon is on. Wait until the channel is clear before transmitting. 2-tone Operation 2-tone signaling allows individual or group calls to be made to your radio. On channels programmed for 2-tone decode operation, you can press the channel/menu knob for two seconds to mute all receive signals until the programmed 2-tone signal has been decoded. After the programmed 2-tone signal is decoded, the radio will beep, and subsequent receive audio will be heard over the speaker. Press and hold the channel/menu knob again to mute the radio until it receives a new call. Pressing the MON button or PTT will disable the 2-tone muting function.  Consult your dealer or communications coordinator for further details on how your radio has been programmed for 2-tone operation.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation 15  2-tone signaling allows users to receive only calls intended for them. However, more than one radio transmitting at a time will still cause interference. Do not transmit if the BUSY icon is on. Wait until the channel is clear before transmitting. Transmitting to Other Radios  Before transmitting, the FCC requires you monitor the channel to make sure it is clear. Transmitting while someone else is transmitting will create interference and disrupt both conversations. Follow these steps to transmit to other radios. 1. Monitor the channel by pressing the MON button. Channel activity is also indicated by the BUSY icon. 2. If the channel is clear, press and hold the push to talk (PTT) switch on the side of the microphone. 3. The TX icon will display while the radio is transmitting. 4. Hold the microphone approximately 2 inches from your mouth and speak across the face of the microphone in a clear, normal voice. 5. Keep the PTT switch pressed until you have finished speaking. 6. Release the PTT switch to return to receive mode.  Do not shout! It will only create distortion.  Press PTT before you start talking and release PTT after you have finished speaking.  Your radio doesn’t allow you to talk and receive simultaneously, so keep your transmission short. When you are transmitting, other people can not. Use common sense and do not occupy the channel too much.  The radio might be programmed with a timeout timer which will automatically end your transmission after a preset time. In this case release PTT and wait for a few seconds. The radio transmitter will be enabled again after a few seconds. Ask your dealer or communications coordinator for further details.  The radio might be programmed for busy channel lock out, which automatically disables the transmitter if your channel is busy. In this case wait until the channel is clear.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 16 © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation Scanning Channels If you have more than one channel programmed, your Titan radio may be programmed to allow you to scan them. Press and release the SCAN button to activate scan. The radio will begin checking all channels in the scan list for activity. The SCAN icon or PRI icon will be displayed while the radio is scanning. To turn scan off, press and release the SCAN button again. The scan mode and scan list are initially programmed by your dealer or communications coordinator. If a priority scan mode has been selected, the priority channel is checked for activity more often than other channels in the scan list. The priority channel will also be checked for activity while the radio is receiving on a non-priority channel. Once the receive signal ends, the radio may be programmed to wait a period of time before resuming scan. When the Scan hold after RX timer has expired, scanning will resume. There is also a Scan hold after TX timer that will be started whenever the radio has ceased transmitting on a channel. Your dealer or communications coordinator will customize the scan options for your particular situation; the following paragraphs detail the available options. The scan mode depends on both the dealer programmed Scan Selection and the user selection from the menu functions as outlined in the table. Dealer programmed Scan Selection User menu selection Normal Modify Second PS PRI Priority scan Priority scan Priority Monitor Public Safety scan SCN Busy scan Alternate Busy scan Alternate Busy scan N/A P/S N/A No scan Priority scan N/A
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation 17 Priority Scan Priority scan is available when your dealer has programmed Normal or Modify Scan Selection. Use the menu function to select PRI scan mode.  The default user selection is PRI scan mode. If enabled in programming, you may assign a second priority channel before starting scan. Select the desired second priority channel using the channel selector, then press and hold the SCAN button for two seconds. The channel display will flash when a second priority channel is displayed. Press and release SCAN to activate Priority scan. The channel selected when scan is started will be assigned as the first priority channel. The priority channel(s) will be checked more often than the other channels in the scan list. While scanning in Priority scan mode, the radio will display “---“ and the PRI icon. If activity is detected on a channel, the radio will pause scan and display that channel. While stopped on a non-priority channel, the radio will continue to check for activity on the priority channel(s). This is called priority channel lookback, and the receive audio from the non-priority channel will be briefly interrupted while priority lookback occurs. While the radio is stopped on a non-priority channel it may be deleted from the scan list by briefly pressing the A/D button. This is the nuisance channel delete function. The priority channel(s) can not be deleted from the scan list. To resume scanning at the next channel in the scan list, without deleting the channel, rotate the channel/menu knob clockwise. In Priority scan mode the scan escape function may have been enabled by your dealer or communications coordinator. To temporarily suspend scan and switch to the last received channel, press and release the AUX button. When finished operating on the last received channel, press and release the AUX button again to resume scan operation. The priority channel selections will not be changed by the scan escape function.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 18 © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation Busy Scan Busy scan is available when your dealer has programmed Normal or Modify Scan Selection. Use the menu function to select SCN scan mode.  The default user selection is PRI scan mode. Press and release SCAN to activate Busy scan. All channels in your scan list will be checked for activity, with no preference given to any channel. While scanning in busy scan mode, the radio will display “---“ and the SCAN icon. If activity is detected on a channel, the radio will pause scan and display that channel. While the radio is paused on a channel it may be deleted from the scan list by briefly pressing the A/D button. This is the nuisance channel delete function. To resume scanning at the next channel in the scan list, without deleting the channel, rotate the channel/menu knob clockwise. Public Safety Scan Public Safety scan is available when your dealer has programmed PS Scan Selection.  No user scan mode selection is possible in Public Safety scan mode. The user selection is fixed at PRI scan mode. If enabled in programming, you may assign a second priority channel before starting scan. Select the desired second priority channel using the channel selector, then press and hold the SCAN button for two seconds. The channel display will flash when a second priority channel is displayed. Press and release SCAN to activate Public Safety scan. The channel selected when scan is started will be assigned as the first priority channel. The priority channel(s) will be checked more often than the other channels in the scan list. While scanning in Public Safety scan mode, the radio will display the first priority channel and a flashing PRI icon. While the radio is scanning, the channel knob may be rotated to select and display a new first
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation 19 priority channel. This is the primary difference between Public Safety scan and Priority scan. If activity is detected on a channel, the radio will pause scan and display that channel. While stopped on a non-priority channel, the radio will continue to check for activity on the priority channel(s). This is called priority channel lookback, and the receive audio from the non-priority channel will be briefly interrupted while priority lookback occurs. While the radio is stopped on a non-priority channel it may be deleted from the scan list by briefly pressing the A/D button. This is the nuisance channel delete function. The priority channel(s) can not be deleted from the scan list. To resume scanning at the next channel in the scan list, without deleting the channel, rotate the channel/menu knob clockwise. Priority Monitor Mode (Dual watch) Priority Monitor mode is available when your dealer has programmed Second Scan Selection. Use the menu function to select PRI scan mode.  The default user selection is PRI scan mode. User selections of SCN (Busy scan) and P/S (Priority scan) are also possible when your dealer has programmed Second Scan Selection. If enabled in programming, you may assign a second priority channel before initiating priority monitoring. Select the desired second priority channel using the channel selector, then press and hold the SCAN button for two seconds. The channel display will flash when a second priority channel is displayed. Press and release SCAN to activate Priority Monitor mode. The channel selected when priority monitoring is started will be assigned as the first priority channel. Then use the channel/menu knob to select a channel of operation, while continuing to monitor the priority channel(s) for activity. While in Priority Monitor mode, the radio will normally display the operating channel and the PRI icon.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide 20 © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation If activity is detected on a priority channel the radio will switch to and display the priority channel. Transmitting While in Scan Mode In Busy scan mode, when PTT is pressed while scanning, the radio will transmit on the last received channel. If no last receive channel has been established since scan was started, transmit will occur on the scan start channel. In Priority scan or Public Safety scan mode, the radio will always transmit on the first priority channel while scan is turned on. The first priority channel will also always be displayed while transmitting. If Priority Monitor mode has been activated, the radio will always transmit on the displayed channel (whether operating channel or priority channel(s)). Editing Your Scan List One of the features of your Titan mobile radio is the ability to add channels and groups of channels to your scan list. Of course, you may also delete channels from your scan list. These changes are saved in radio EEPROM and are not temporary. Depending on dealer programming the scan list edits may be retained indefinitely or may be reset when scan or the radio are turned off. Or, you may reset the scan list back to dealer programming at any time by pressing the A/D button until the second beep is heard. The channels in your radio may be organized into groups and a menu function allows you to select whether the scan will check only channels in the current group or in all groups. Then within each group, each individual channel may be selected for scan. As you are editing the scan list, if the PRI icon or SCAN icon is on, the channel is currently in the scan list. If the neither icon is on that channel will not be scanned.
Titan™ Mobile User’s Guide © 2005, Midland Radio Corporation 21 Press and release the A/D button to enter scan add/delete mode. The A/D icon (AX2 on standard head) will be displayed while scan add/delete mode is active. Once you are in add/delete mode, use the channel knob to scroll through the channels. To add a channel to the scan list, or remove a channel that is already in the list, press and release the scan button. The PRI or SCAN icon will toggle on/off indicating scan list status. Press and release the A/D button again to exit add/delete mode. DTMF ANI The Titan mobile radio may be programmed to automatically send a DTMF ANI signal when you press PTT on certain channels. Or, if ANI has been configured by programming, but not enabled for the channel, you can use the menu function to temporarily enable ANI.  A thirty second release timer will be started each time you release PTT. The ANI will not be sent unless this timer has expired. Squelch and Other Menu Functions Several parameters may be changed using the menu functions. 1. Press the channel/menu knob to select the first menu item, squelch level, SQL. 2. Rotate the channel/menu knob to change the squelch level.
