GENERAL PRECAUTIONS Always use only Midland authorized accessories. Unauthorized accessories have the risk of fire hazard, explosion, personal injury or damage to the radio. CAUTION Changes or modifications to your radio may void its compliance with government laws/rules and make it illegal to use. Avoid using the radio at temperatures below -30ºC or above 60ºC. Avoid storing the radio at temperatures below -40ºC or above 85ºC. WARNINGS Your Midland Syn-Tech III P25 Mobile Radio generates electromagnetic RF energy when it is transmitting. To ensure that you and those around you are not exposed to excessive amounts of that energy (beyond recommended allowable limits for occupational use): DO NOT operate your radio without a proper antenna. Otherwise, you can seriously damage your radio. DO NOT touch the antenna when you are transmitting. NEVER connect the transceiver to any AC power source. This may cause an electric shock or fire hazard and will damage your radio. NEVER connect the transceiver to a DC power source either greater than 16 volts or with reverse polarity. Doing so will damage the transceiver. DO NOT attempt to service any internal parts yourself. Please ask your dealer for necessary service. This radio should be opened by authorized personnel only. Please read the installation and operating instructions carefully.
Syn-Tech III P25 Mobile Radio OPERATION MANUAL 680-090-2041 Version 6.0eng http://www.midlandradio.com iiiFCC EXPOSURE STATEMENTS Restricted to occupational use to satisfy FCC RF energy exposure limits. The FCC has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF energy. Proper operation of this radio under normal conditions results in user exposure to RF energy below the Occupational Safety and Health Act and Federal Communication Commission limits. Mandatory Safety Instructions to Installers and Users: This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment. This radio is restricted to occupational use and work related operations only. Radio operators must have the knowledge to control their exposure conditions and the exposure conditions of bystanders and/or passengers to satisfy the lower exposure limit allowed for General Population. To comply with FCC RF exposure limits, DO NOT operate the transmitter of this mobile radio when a person outside the vehicle is within the minimum safe distance from the antenna: STM1050B – 22 inches (56 centimeters) STM1115B – 31 inches (79 centimeters) STM4040A/B – 18 inches (45 centimeters) SDT1090 – 31 inches (79 centimeters) 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. 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. For rear deck trunk and roof top installations, the antenna must be located at least the minimum safe distance away from rear-seat passengers and bystanders in order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements. 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. Antennas used for this transmitter must not exceed an antenna gain of 3 dBi. 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 Transmit/Receive LED is red. 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. Transmit only when all person(s) are at least the minimum distance from the properly installed, externally mounted antenna.

The radio is capable of distinguishing between analog and digital signals, and the channel may be configured to receive both signal types with no user intervention. The radio channel may also be configured to allow users to transmit analog signals, digital signals, or choose the appropriate transmit mode. The radio may also automatically switch the transmit mode after receiving a different mode signal. The radio will switch back to the selected mode after a time period. 4.1.1 Turning the Radio On and Off Press and release the On/Off Volume Knob to turn the mobile radio on. Press and hold the On/Off Volume Knob at least two seconds to turn the mobile radio off. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase the speaker volume. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to decrease the speaker volume. While the radio is performing power-on self-tests, it will display the greeting message and the current zone selection. The radio will power-on to the last selected channel. If a power-on password has been set, the radio will prompt for power-on password entry when it is turned on.

SMS messages are free text messages sent from one radio to another. With SMS messages, the message (up to 160 characters maximum) is entered using the alpha-numeric keypad and transmitted to the other radio. Predefined messages are common messages among all radios. A predefined message is selected from the predefined message list (of 20 messages of maximum 20 characters) and the message pointer is transmitted to the other radio. Status messages are common status settings among all radios. A current status is selected by the radio user (of 30 status settings of maximum 20 characters), and may be sent to another radio. Your current status may also be queried by another user. Both status and predefined messages rely on the receiving radio’s database to determine the message displayed. The message characters are not sent, instead only a pointer of which message should be displayed is sent. For proper status and predefined messaging operation, both the receiving and transmitting radios should be using the same message database.
