JBS-146M-A Instructions
Auto Turn On When Power Restored
Ritron model JBS-146M-A has been built to operate any time power is applied to the base radio, eliminating the need to press the
On/Volume Up button to turn the radio on.
The JBS-146M-A model base radio .........................................................................................................................................................
•
Will turn on any time power is applied to the radio, allowing it to automatically turn back on after a power failure.
•
Will store the current channel in EEPROM each time the channel is changed, assuring that the radio will automatically restart
to the current operating channel after a power outage. As an alternative, the radio can be PC programmed to turn on to
channel 1 whenever power is applied.
•
Will not turn-off by pressing the Volume Down/Off button. The only way to turn the radio off is to remove power.
•
Will restart to a mid volume level after a power outage. As an alternative, this option can be disabled using the PC
Programmer and the radio will turn on at minimum volume.
•
Will not turn-off as a result of a low battery condition, therefore, the JBS-146M-A is not recommended for battery powered
applications.
•
Does not have Power Save capability for battery conservation.
•
Requires Ritron PC Programmer 9.6.0 or higher.
To place the JBS-146M-A into field programming mode ......................................................................................................................
1. Remove power from the JBS-146M-A base radio.
