Base Station Antenna; Using Your Transceiver - Midland M Zero Manual Del Usaurio

BASE STATION ANTENNA

While your Transceiver is designed for mobile opera-
tion, you might wish to use it as a base station unit,
in conjunction with a 12,6 Vdc ± 10% 2 A DC power
supply. If you decide to use your Transceiver as a base
station, choose an antenna designed to operate most
efficiently as a base station antenna. For example, the
1/2 wave antenna is a high-efficiency radiator with
omnidirectional characteristics. It performs as well in
most applications as the ground plane does. You can
use this type of antenna for medium-long range com-
munications.

USING YOUR TRANSCEIVER

Do not transmit without a suitable antenna or 50 Ohm load connected to
the antenna connector.
To receive:
1. Make sure that the cigarette lighter plug is properly inserted into a
12V power socket.
2. Make sure that the antenna and the microphone are attached.
3. The emergency knob must be set to the CH position.
4. Set the Squelch control to maximum counterclockwise position.
5. Turn on the unit by rotating the VOLUME control clockwise.
6. Turn the RF-GAIN knob totally clockwise.
7. Set channel selector to the desired channel.
8. Adjust VOLUME for a suitable listening level.
9. Adjust Squelch to cut out annoying background noise when no si-
gnal is being received.
