THIS RADIO COMPLIES WITH PART IS OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION
IS SUBJECT TO THE CONDITION THAT THIS DEVICE DOES NOT CAUSE
HARMFUL INTERFERENCE.
Your Midland model 75-503 brings the new FRS (Family Radio Service) lo your
fingertips. The Family Radio Service is provided for by the FCC and is totally
license free. For the first time business and the general public can use the quiei UHF
FM band for personal communications at no charge The 75—503 uses maximum
allowable power for range up to 2 miles. Use for fishing, hunting, picnics, hiking,
business, or any other activity where communications are needed for convenience or
safety. The model 75-503 operates on 3 channels to provide the best in quiet and
private communication. Also (his radio offers power save, and auto—squelch,
TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR 75-503
Due to the band of operation (462/467 MHz) the 75-503 provides communications
that are virtually the of atmospheric interference (skip) that is common on lower
frequency bands. Along with this and an antenna system that is very efficient as
compared to other unlicensed radio bands, communications range is surprisingly
good, Many times the limits to maximum possible range are environmental factors
such as blookage caused by trees, buildings, hills, or other obstructions, lfyou find
communication is not possible, many times this can be overcome by moving only a
few feet to a new location. Range may be reduced while operating in a vehicle or
from inside to outside a metal building. Battery condition also affects range. The
75-503 operates best on alkaline batteries. While this unit has been designed with
gaskets for water resistance and ruggednss it is a precision piece of electronic
equipment that should not be exposed to water or handled carelessly. Normal care
should result in years of trouble free operation. Do not leave batteries installed over
a long period oftime as leakage may occur that can destroy the radio, Always save
your receipt, as it is required for warranty consideration.
PREPARATION
BATTERIES
75-503 radios operate with 3 AA alkaline batteries or Ni—cad batteries (batteries not
supplied). Alkaline batteries will provide about 24 hours of use Ni-cad batteries
provide about 8 hours of use. Ni-Cad batteries must be charged prior to use.
Charge time is 10 hours with the wall charger (not supplied). Do not mix battery
types in the radio.
To Install Batteries:
1. Hold the radio face down. Press the latch so it swings away from the cover.
2. Lifi the battery cover off the unit.
3. Insert 3 AA batteries observing the proper polarity.
4, Replace the battery cover over the batteries and fasten with the latch.
Low Battery/Transmit Indicator:
The "TX/BAT?" LED on the front ofthe radio will light when the unit is
transmitting and what not transmitting if the batteries are low.
BELT CLIP
The 75-503 comes standard with a belt clip, Attach it to the radio back by sliding
the top ofthe clip up over the two rectangular bosses an the back ofthe radio until it
snaps into place. To detach the belt clip, press the lever inside the top of the clip
away from the radio body and slide the clip toward the bcntom of the radio.
QUICK USE INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install fresh alkaline or fully charged Ni-cad batteries
2. Turn the unit on by turning the volume control clockwise.
3. To talk press the PTT (push-totalk) button on the side of the radio and talk
into the fi‘ont ol' the radio.
4, To listen release the PTT button.
5. Volume and other functions maybe adjusted as described later.
POWER SAVE CmCUlT
This part ofrhe operation of the radio is completely automatic and not adjustable.
When the radio has not transmitted or received a signal for about 8 seconds it will
begin to cycle from a sleep mode to fully on. This occurs about once a second. lfa
signal is received or you cause the unit to transmit the radio will become fully
awake. This cycling from sleep to fully on increases the standby battery life more
than 50%.
FEATURES AND LOCATION OF CONTOIS
TOTURNTH'E RADIOONOROFF
The ON/OFF/VOLUME control at the top of the radio controls power and volume.
A series oftonts will be heard confirming that radio is on.
TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL IN USE
Select the channel by sliding the channel switch to position I, 2, or 3. These
selections correspond to chamnels l, 3, an 5 on any 14 channel FRS radio.
TO USE CALL BUTTON
Press and release the CALL button. A call signal will be sent for about 2 seconds
The signal will also be heard in the speaker,
TO ADJUST THE VOLUME
Use the ON/OFF/VOLUME control Io adjust the volume. To test the volume
setting, press the "MON“ button so static noise can be heard. The noise can be used
as a reference level for volume sening.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SOLUTION
No Power 1. Check battery installation and/or replace batteries
Cannot Rweive Messages I.Make sure the volume is set high enough.
2. Change your location. you may be cut of range.
3. Install batteries pr_opcrly or replace.
Range is Short 1. Operating the radio in a vehicle or metal building
will decrease the range. If possible operate outside of
vehicles or buildings.
2. Carrying the radio 50 that the antenna is very near
the body will decrease the range. Hold the radio in
the open for the best range.
Interference/Static ll Change your location. The interference may be
causedhy nearby electronic or electrical equipment.
CARE OF RECHARGEABLE NI-CAD BATTERIES
ALWAYS DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY
Always follow the battery manufactures recommendations for
charging and disposing ofNiCad batteries.
The following is meant as general information regarding Ni—Cad batteries.
I, Occasionally allow the batteries to fully discharge before recharging. Full
discharge will be indicated by the low battery indicator coming on during
receive operation.
2, Always allow the battery to frilly charge before using. This requires 10 hours with
the optional charger.
l The above will prevent the batteries from developing “finemory' which effectively
reduces their capacity.
4. It is better to store Ni-Cad batteries that are discharged rather than charged.
