Midland Radio P-20 guide

Owner’s Manual for the P-20 (Itinerant Radio)

WARNING

Your wireless hand-held portable transceiver contains a low power transmitter. When the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button is pressed it sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. The device is authorized to operate at a duty factor not to exceed 50%. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for hand-held wireless devices.

To maintain compliance with the FCC's RF exposure guidelines, this transmitter and its antenna must maintain a separation distance of least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your face. Speak in a normal voice, with the antenna pointed up and away from the face at the required separation distance. The belt clip is for storage purposes only. DO NOT TRANSMIT WHILE USING THE BELT CLIP. To transmit, hold the device away from your body and ensure the antenna is at least 2 inches (5 centimeters) from your body when transmitting.

A NOTE ABOUT THE CTCSS or DCS CODES

This radio incorporates 38 CTCSS (Continuos Tone Coded Squelch System) codes and 83 DCS (Digital Coded Squelch) codes that, when activated, prevent the user from hearing other radios that do not have the same code. These codes do not make your conversation private. If you experience difficulties contacting or hearing other radios in your group make sure the CTCSS or DCS code is set the same on all radios. If you are using the P20 where interference from other radios or electrical devices are present, enabling the CTCSS or DCS codes will usually mute the interference. Many times interference will be noticed by the presence of loud static from the speaker.
