MIDLAND G9 - Manual (Page 12)

FEATURES
› New “Dual PTT” feature for high or low output power. Midland G9 is equipped with a Dual PTT key. Than-
ks to this brand new feature, it is possible to use the high power only when it is really necessary, enabling in
this way a high reduction of the battery consumption.
› New “Emergency CALL” feature. Midland G9 introduces an innovative and important feature: the channel
dedicated to the emergencies. Radio communications usually happen between two or more users which
are tuned on the same channel: it’s not possible to transmit or receive to/from different channels. But thanks
to the “Emergency” function, you can also keep a check on the Emergency channel: all users having a
Midland G9 can communicate on the tuned channel and at the same time can receive/transmit Emergency
messages on the dedicated channel. Simply keep pressed the EMG button for 3 seconds and an emergency
CALL will be sent to all the G9 within the range: they will be automatically tuned on the “EC” channel (Emer-
gency Channel).
› New “Manual Out of range” feature: just press twice the EMG button and you will verify whether there are
some radios within the range of your equipment.
› New “Vox TalkBack” feature: if one radio is continuously transmitting in VOX, the Vox TB will automatically
stop the transmission after 20” to allow the transmission to the other users as well.
