OPERATOR MANUAL

Complete operating details for the M-PA radios are in- cluded in LBI-38377. This operator’s manual contains de- tailed operating procedures for the Select, Scan and System model radios.

OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition is important when using a VHF radio. Operating the radio in low areas of terrain, un- der power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle or in a metal or steel framed building can severely reduce the range of the unit Mountains and buildings can also reduce the range of the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement maybe obtained by insuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communication. Ve- hicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted antenna.

Battery condition is another critical factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Observe the procedures listed in the Service Section to insure the battery packs do not develop the "Memory Effect".

Always observe all of the Federal Communication Commission’s rules and regulations during any service or operating procedure.
