Battery Indicator:
The battery Condition indicator in the display will show the amount of charge of your
batteries. Replace alkaline or recharge the Ni-Cad batteries as soon as possible after
the indicator shows less than 2 segments of the battery lit.
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Your 75-517 may not include rechargeable batteries and a charger. Install the batteries
observing their polarity. If you are using rechargeable batteries and the Midland
standard charger (model 18-396), plug the charger into a 115 volt wall socket and the
charger plug into the charge jack marked
“CHG” (item 7on Page 6 illustration) on
the side of the radio. Allow the batteries to charge 10 hours for Ni-Cad and 16 hours
for Ni-MH prior to use. Never attempt to charge any type of Alkaline battery in
this radio.
BELT CLIP
The 75-517 comes standard with a belt clip. Attach it to the radio back by sliding the
top of the clip up over the two rectangular bosses on the back of the 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 bottom of the radio.
QUICK USE INSTRUCTIONS:
Install fresh Alkaline or fully charged Ni-Cad or Ni-MH batteries.
Turn the unit on by rotating the ON/OFF Volume control clockwise.
The squelch is factory set and is not adjustable.
Make sure the radio you want to talk to does not have the CTCSS or other codes
turned on.
1.
To talk, press the “PTT” (Push to Talk) button on the side of the radio marked
“PTT”. Talk into the front of the radio about 6 inches from your mouth.
2. To listen release the “PTT” button.
Other functions will be described later.
POWER SAVE CIRCUIT
This part of the operation of the radio is completely automatic and not adjustable.
When the radio has not transmitted or received a signal for several seconds it will
begin to cycle from a sleep mode to fully on. This occurs several times a minute. If a
signal is received or you cause the radio to transmit, the radio will become fully
awake. This cycling from sleep to fully on increases the battery life more than 50%.
An icon in the upper right of the display flashing “SAVE” will verify this.
RANGE OF FRS RADIOS
The best range between portable FRS radios is achieved when they are operating in
open terrain outside of buildings and vehicles. Anyone using a portable unit inside a
vehicle will experience a significant loss of range.
