Introduction
The Type PRM8010 transceiver is a versatile, microprocessor-controlled, dash-mounted, mobile
radio designed to access facilities provided by the Private Mobile Radio Service.
The transceiver is software programmable to produce the options required to suit specific
requirements. Though many options are available, each unit is dispatched from the factory
programmed with a specific software application package, so that only a few parameters need to
be varied in the field (eg. frequencies, selective call identities).
This guide describes all the facilities that are currently available, though some may not be
available on your equipment.
The facilities that are available to you are most easily identified by examining the key label
overlay on the front panel display.
Common functions and facilities are described in section 1.5.4.
Other functions are described in section 1.5.5.
Scanning functions are described in section 1.5.6.
Selcall functions are described in section 1.5.7.
Some specially adapted application packages may include facilities described separately in
supplementary information sheets.

SWITCH ON/OFF
To switch on, press the On/Off switch.
The LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) backlighting will be on when power is connected to the set.
To switch off, press the On/Off switch.
If the radio is wired for external on/off switching the On/Off switch will control only the display.

SPEECH RECEPTION
Select the required channel by using 'Channel UP' button.
Pressing this button enables the selection of higher numbered channels, returning to
the lowest channel number once the highest number has overflowed.
Set the 'squelch' control fully anti-clockwise.
In the absence of a signal the squelch control eliminates receiver noise and also
suppresses weak interfering signals.
