OPERATION MANUAL
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Before using your radio, please read this operation manual.
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

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 Portable 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. Transmitting
without an antenna may damage your radio.
DO NOT touch the antenna, or allow the antenna to touch any
bystanders, when you are transmitting.
DO NOT attempt to service any internal parts yourself. Please ask your
dealer for necessary service. This radio should be opened by authorized

OPERATION MANUAL
FCC 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.
This radio is NOT approved for use by the general population in an uncontrolled environment.
This radio is restricted to occupational use, work related operations only, where the radio
operator must have the knowledge to control the user’s exposure conditions for satisfying the
higher exposure limit allowed for occupational use.
When transmitting, hold the radio in a vertical position with its microphone 2 inches (5 cm)
away from your mouth. The radio is transmitting when the red Transmit/Receive LED on the
top of the radio is illuminated. You can cause the radio to transmit by pressing PTT on the
side of the radio.
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. 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
information.
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 radio normally causes the radio to transmit.
DO NOT allow the antenna to touch any part of your body while transmitting.
DO NOT transmit while the radio is attached to your belt.
KEEP the radio and antenna at least as far from bystanders as from yourself.
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.

still be quite simple. 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.

Turning the Radio On and Off
Rotate the On/Off Volume Knob clockwise past
the detent to turn the radio on. Rotate the knob
further clockwise to increase the speaker
volume. Rotate the knob counter-clockwise to
decrease the speaker volume. Rotate the knob
counter-clockwise past the detent to turn the
radio off.
While the radio is performing power-on selftests, it will display the greeting message and
the current zone selection. If the channel switch
is in the sixteenth position, the radio will poweron to the last selected channel. In any other
position the radio will power-on to the switchselected channel.
If a power-on password has been
set, the radio will prompt for
password entry when it is turned on.
Use the numeric keypad to enter the
correct password then press the left
soft key (OK). If the password is
entered incorrectly five times, the
radio will lock and must be
reprogrammed to reset the
password.

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.
