NOTES 

1. 

  Reception can often be improved if you relocate 

by a short distance. This effect is more noticeable 
inside buildings.  

 

 

The range of the “Display Series” base radio is 
approximately two miles, line-of-sight.  

2. 

  If your radio does not detect calls from other 

radios on the channel, turn off Quiet Call by 
pressing and holding both volume buttons at the 
same time

—a double beep indicates Quiet Call is 

off.  

3. 

  Without use of a repeater: To hear a call, select a 

channel programmed to receive the caller’s 
transmit frequency. To call another unit, select a 
channel programmed to transmit the other radio’s 
receive frequency.  

 

  Using a repeater: A radio channel can hold two 

separate operating frequencies, one for receive 
and one for transmit. Your channel must work 
with the repeater’s transmit and receive 
frequencies.  

 

  NOTE: A dealer must program the radio for 

repeater operation.  

4.  

  An optional RM-7 Remote Speaker / Microphone 

and headset, plus the CCL-M 12 VDC Adapter, 
allow operation in a vehicle. See page ii for 
accessories.  

5.  

 

To “talk” with each other, radios must be 
programmed identically for Quiet Call code, as 
well as frequency. Each code is unique; radios 
respond only to the code programmed.  

 

  Press and hold both volume buttons at the same 

time.  

 

 

A single beep indicates Quiet Call squelch is on.  

 

 

A double beep indicates Quiet Call squelch is off.  

CHART 

If you have trouble operating the base radio, review the Control & Operation, pages 3 through 9. If you 
think the base radio is malfunctioning, check the list below.  

Problem 

Possible Solutions  

GENERAL 

 

The radio does not work at 
all.  

  Make sure the 120 VAC outlet is active and the RPS-1B power 

supply is connected. 

Operating features do not 
work exactly as expected.  

  The radio has been dealer programmed for customized operation. 

(Consult dealer.) 

Reception is poor.  

  Move to a different location. (See Note 1.)  

  Confirm the proper antenna is connected to the radio. 

  Use an optional high-gain antenna. See page ii, Optional 

Accessories. 

You cannot hear calls from 
other radios.  

  Turn off Quiet Call (coded) squelch. (See Note 2.)  

  Ensure radio receives the same frequency the caller transmits. 

(See Note 3.)  

Your calls cannot be heard in 
other radios.  

  Make sure that your radio transmits on the receive frequency of the 

radio(s) you want to call. (See Note 3.) 

ERROR TONES 

 

An error tone sounds when 
the radio is first switched on.  

 

See “Error Tones” on page 6. 

An error tone occurs while 
transmitting.  

 

Refer to “Transmitter Time-Out,” page 6.  

QUIET CALL 

 

You cannot screen out calls 
from users outside of your 
Quiet Call group.  

  Make sure that the channel is programmed with Quiet Call. 

  Activate coded squelch. (See Note 5.)  

You cannot hear Quiet Call 
messages while in Quiet Call 
(coded) squelch.  

  Confirm that the channel is programmed to detect the same code 

as the calling radio(s) transmits. (See Note 5.) 

Others in your Quiet Call 
group cannot hear your Quiet 
Call messages.  

  Verify that you transmit the same code as the radio(s) you call are 

programmed to detect. (See Note 5.)  

SCAN 

 

The radio constantly stops on 
a busy channel, preventing 
you from hearing calls on.  

 

Skip over the interfering channel when scanning. See “Temporary 
Busy Channel Blocking” on page 7.
