OPERATOR MANUAL

Complete operating details for the MTL-SX radio are included in operator manual LBI-38431.

OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition is important when using a VHF radio. Operating the radio in low areas of terrain, under 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 may be obtained by insuring that the antenna is vertical. Moving a few yards in another direction or moving to a higher elevation may also improve communica- tion. Vehicular 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 Com- mission’s rules and regulations during any service or oper- ating procedure.

INTRINSICALLY SAFE USAGE

Selected portable radios with appropriate factory in- stalled F4 Options are certified as Intrinsically Safe by the Factory Mutual Research Corporation. Intrinsically Safe ap- proval includes Class I, II, III, Division 1 hazardous loca- tions in the presence of Groups C, D, E, F and G atmospheres. Non-Incendive approval includes Class I, Di- vision 2 hazardous locations in the presence of Groups A, B, C and D atmospheres.

Hazardous locations are defined in the National Electri- cal Code. Useful standards NFPA 437A and NFPA 437M for the classifications of hazardous areas can be ordered from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.

BATTERY PACKS

Only battery packs identified with a green latch shall be used with a portable radio that is rated and labeled as Factory Mutual Intrinsically Safe. Use of non-specified battery packs voids Factory Mutual approval. The following battery pack options are approved for use in intrinsically safe radios:
