INTRODUCTION

This manual describes the operation of the M-PAtwo-way FM Select, Scan, and System model portable radios.

Operating controls on the radio include a ro- tatable control knob, rotatable volume control, a 4- button keypad (Scan model) or 16-button keypad (System model), push-to-talk, emergency and moni- tor buttons. The on/off power switch for the unit is located on the removable battery pack.

The 8-digit alphanumeric liquid crystal display (LCD) on the front of the radio displays the operating status of the radio. This backlit display also has status flags for indicating the various operating con- ditions such as transmitter on, scanning, or emer- gency mode enabled.

The exact operation of your radio will vary de- pending upon the mode of operation, the radio’s programming, and the particular radio system. Con- sult your radio system’s representative for particular features that are programmed into your radio.
