Operations
Turning on/o
To turn on the transceiver, turn the VOLUME knob clockwise until you hear it
clicks. To turn o the transceiver, turn the knob counter-clockwise.
Selecting the PMR446 or LDP band
Midland G9 PRO (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 “+” function; therefore if you change the frequency
band, remember to activate the Emergency function again (see paragraph
“Emergency call function”).
Selecting the PMR446 bands - 24CH or 32CH
G9 PRO can operate on two PMR446 bands thanks to a simple procedure
described in this chapter: a traditional band with 24 channels and a new one
with 32 channels.
• With the 24 channels it is possible to communicate with all radios working
on the operative band 446Mhz-446.1Mhz.
• While with the 32 channels, the operating band is extended up to
446.2Mhz.
When G9 PRO is set on the “new channels”, the display will show “PMR”.
How to activate the PMR446 bands
• Switch o the radio
• Turn it on by pressing MENU and +/EMG
• The display will show “-_ _”
• Press the following keys in the correct sequence: ▼ - MENU -▲; the
symbol “-_ _” on the display will be replaced by a series of “o”.
In case of wrong sequence, G9 PRO will exit the procedure
• At the end of the sequence, the display will show the frequency band cur-
rently in use. Now you can select “P8”(traditional band) or “P16”(new
band) by means of the ▲/▼ controls
• Press PTT to confirm your selection
