OPERATING RULES AND REGULATIONS

Two-way FM radio systems must be operated in ac-

cordance with the rules and regulations of the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). As an operator of

two-way radio equipment, the user must be thoroughly

familiar with the rules that apply to the intended type of

radio operation. Following these rules will help to elimi-

nate confusion, assure the most efficient use of existing

radio channels, and result in a smoothly functioning radio

network.

When using the radio, remember these rules:

1. It is a violation of FCC rules to interrupt any distress or

emergency message. In conventional mode the radio

operates in much the same way as a telephone “party

line” therefore always listen to make sure that the line

is clear--that no one else is on the air--before sending

any messages. If someone is sending an emergency

message--such as reporting a fire or asking for help

in an accident--KEEP OFF THE AIR!

2. Use of profane or obscene laguage is prohibited by

Federal Law.

3. It is against the law to send false call letters or a false

distress or emergency message.

4. The FCC requires that conversations be brief and

confined to business. To save time, use coded mes-

sages whenever possible.

5. Using the radio to send personal messages (except in

an emergency) is a violation of FCC rules. Only those

messages essential for the business operation may

be sent.

6. It is against the Federal law to repeat or otherwise

make known anything overheard on the radio. Con-

versations between others sharing a communications

channel must be regarded as confidential.

7. The FCC also requires that the caller be identified at

certain specific times by means of call letters. Refer

to the rules that apply to the particular type of opera-

tion for the proper procedure.

8. No changes or adjustment shall be made to the

equipment except by an authorized or certified elec-

tronic technician.

OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition are important when

operating a two-way radio. Operating the radio in low ter-

rain areas, under power lines or bridges, inside of a ve-

hicle, or inside a metal- or steel-framed building can se-

verely reduce the operating 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 one direction

or another or moving to a higher elevation may also im-

prove communication.

Battery condition is another important factor in the

trouble-free operation of the radio. Always properly

charge the batteries. (See Battery Packs section for

more information).

Always observe all of the Federal Communication

Commission’s (FCC’s) rules and regulations.

Figure 1 - PCS Standard/Scan Radio

INTRODUCTION

The PCS™ Standard/Scan/DTMF portable radios

are lightweight, full-featured radios that provide reliable

two-way communications. The PCS comes in 4-, 8-, and

16-channel versions. The SCAN function exists all al-

lows monitoring of all channels. Any channel may be

scanned with or without a priority level. One channel can

be programmed for Priority 1 (P1) and another for Prior-

ity 2 (P2), with any or all remaining channels pro-

grammed as non-priority channels. It also allows HOME

channel selection or Emergency mode transmission.

The User (also known as Universal) Device Connec-

tor (UDC), located on the side of the radio, provides con-

nections for external audio accessories. This connector

also allows the radio system personnel to connect pro-

gramming equipment and program the per-channel and

overall radio features. Consult the radio system person-

nel to determine the programmed features of your radio.

Features that are programmable on a per-channel basis

include:

• Receive Frequency

• Transmit Frequency

• High/Low Transmit Power

• Channel Busy Lock-Out

• Squelch Tail Elimination (STE)

• Channel Guard Encode/Decode (Tone or

Digital)

• Type 99 Tone Decode

• Automatic Number Identification (ANI)

• Telephone Interconnect (DTMF Dial)

Features that are programmable on an overall radio ba-

sis include:

• Carrier Control Timer (CCT)

• Display Backlighting

• Alert Tones

• HOME Channel or Emergency Channel

• Three (3) Auto-Dial Telephone Numbers
