Selecting the PMR466 or LDP band (only for the dual band version)
Midland G9 (Dual band) is pre-set at factory on the PMR446 band.
To switch to the LPD band, keep pressed the MENU button until the LPD shows channel ‘1’.
To return to the PMR446 band, keep pressed the MENU button again, until the LCD shows ‘P1’.
! This procedure disables the “ EMG ” function; therefore if you change the frequency band, remember
to activate the Emergency function again (see paragraph “Emergency function”).
Channel selection
Press the MENU button. The number of the channel will start flashing on the display.
Press the scroll buttons ▼▲ till you select the desired channel. Press the PTT button to confirm, or wait for 5
seconds.
According to the version you bought, you can choose amongst the following channels:
› Dual band version: PMR446 from P1 to P8 and from 9p to 24p (pre-set) / LPD from 1 to 69.
› E version (PMR446 only): from P1 to P8 and from 9p to 24p (pre-set)
! Channel P8 has been set at factory for the “Emergency” function; we suggest that you do not use it for
general communications!
Displaying the channel/sub audio tone
To momentarily display the PMR446 channel and the subadio tone used in the pre-set channels, go to the desired
channel (from 9p to 24p) and keep pressed the ▼ for 3 seconds.
Transmission and reception
To transmit keep the PTT button firmly pressed (it is not important what part of it). Wait for a fraction of a second
then speak normally in the direction of the microphone and hold the device at a distance of about 5 cm; TX will
appear on the display.
When you have finished, release the PTT.
When the radio is in reception mode ( PTT released) you will automatically receive any communication. RX will
be displayed.
! By default the output power set is “H-high”, so independently on which PTT key you press (small or
big)the sending will be with high power.
! If you use an external microphone, the PTT on it will follow the same PTT setting of the radio.
VOLUME adjustment
Rotate the VOLUME knob till you reach the desired level.
