MON button (Monitor)
The Monitor button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch,
in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the squelch per-
manently opened. By excluding the squelch you will avoid listening the
communication “chopped” by the squelch. In order to activate the Mo-
nitor function, so as to listen to all traffic on the selected channel, keep
pressed the
MON/SCAN button for about 2 seconds. Keep pressed the
button MON/SCAN for about 2 seconds to disable this function.
Scanning all channels
Midland G7/G7E Pro can automatically search for signals throughout the
PMR/LPD bands by scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid sequen-
ce. When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that channel and
you can transmit by pushing
PTT . If you press PTT during scanning you
can transmit on the channel from which the scanning started. The scroll
buttons / allow you to change the direction of scanning (from lower
channels to higher ones or vice versa) and therefore to skip communica-
tions which are of no interest.
Press briefly the button
MON/SCAN to start scanning.
If you want to stop it, press again MON/SCAN . Your transceiver will go
back to the channel from which the scanning originally started.
Display backlight
If there is insufficient light to read the display you can press the
MENU
button to switch the display back light on for about 5 seconds.
Switching the backlight on the display adds an additional drain on the
batteries. Try to make a moderate use of this.
5.7 Keypad lock
Keep pressed CALL/ for about 5 seconds and will be displayed as con-
firmation. Only PTT and CALL/ remain active. To disable this function,
keep pressed again CALL/ for 5 seconds approx.
