5.0 Keypad lock
During normal use you can lock the transceiver’s keypad in order to
avoid accidental activation of any function.
To activate the keypad lock, hold down the
CALL/LOCK
button
for about three seconds until the symbol appears on the display
(bottom right). This will deactivate all buttons of the transceiver
except transmission (
PTT
button), call (
CALL/LOCK
button) and the
monitor (
SCAN/MON
button - ref. par. 5.8). Any attempt to access
the disabled buttons while in this mode will cause an audio error
signal (low tone).
To deactivate the keypad lock keep the
CALL/LOCK
button pressed
for about three seconds until the symbol disappears.

It is not possible to lock the keypad when the device is scanning
or in Dual watch mode.
5. Audio call function
You can send an audio call on the selected channel. You can do this
by pressing briefly the
CALL/LOCK
button. Your device will stay in
transmission mode for two seconds, broadcasting the call (to attract
the attention of the other party) and then it automatically goes back
to reception.

During transmission of the call the speaker of your device will also
play the call melody as confirmation.

You can select any of the 10 preset melodies.

Audio call is a special feature of
MIDLAND G2. For this reason it
is advisable to warn and check with the other party about it so that
unnecessary interferences may be avoided.

alert, every time you receive a call from another
MIDLAND G2
, your
device will alert you of the call by vibrating but it will remain silent.

Silent call is a special feature which works only among
MIDLAND

below:

every transmission as soon as you release the

to avoid that saying ‘roger’ every time you finish talking. In order to
enable/disable the roger beep do the following:
1) Turn off your device.
