COVERAGE/RANGE

The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained du-

ring use in an open space.

The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental fac-

tors such as blockage caused by trees,buildings, or other obstructions. In-

side a car or a metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally

the coverage in the city, with buildings or other obstructions is about 1

or 2 Km. In open space but with obstructions like trees, leaves or houses

the maximum possible range is about 4-6 Km. In open space, without

obstructions and in sight, like for example in mountain, the coverage can

be more than 12 Km.

Operations

Power on/oﬀ and volume adjustment

Rotate the Power/Volume knob clockwise to turn the radio on.

Rotate the control clockwise /counter-clockwise to adjust the volume le-

vel as you prefer.

To turn the radio oﬀ, rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a

mechanical“click”.

Transmission

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same chan-

nel.

Brieﬂy press the Function key 1 to enable the Monitor feature in order

to make sure that the frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.

For a maximum clarity, hold the device at a distance of about 4/10 cm.

Release the PTT key to receive.

Only one user at a time can talk during radio communications. Therefore, it is

important not to transmit when you are receiving a communication and use

the transmission mode sparingly to allow other users to talk.

Transmission consumes a signiﬁcant amount of energy and should therefore

be used sparingly to prolong the battery life.

If you are unable to contact a station that you have no problems in receiving,

the station may be using CTCSS tones or DCS codes.

Monitor

The Monitor feature is for excluding (opening) the Squelch, in order to

listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch permanently ope-

ned.

Press brieﬂy the Function key 1 to enable such function.

Scan

This function is enabled by pushing the Function key2 for 3 seconds; the

led will alternately blink green.

Midland G15 instruction guide | 7

Whenever any signal is detected, the scanning will stop on a busy chan-

nel and, if no operation is done, will start after 5 seconds.

If you press the PTT, the radio will transmit on the latest busy channel;

after 10 seconds that you released the PTT, G15 will return on the default

channel and the scanning will be active.

Squelch

The Squelch function suppresses noises on free channels and allows to

receive even weak signals.

G15 has 10 diﬀerent Squelch levels that can be set by programming sof-

tware: 0 means that the Squelch is turned oﬀ; from level 1 to level 9 you

will have diﬀerent levels of noise reduction. The higher is the level, the

louder will be the Squelch.

By default, the Squelch level of G15 is set on level 5.

Make sure you do not set an excessively high squelch level because in this

case you may not be able to receive weaker signals. On the other hand an

excessively low Squelch value could enable the Squelch even when no si-

gnals are present.

Squelch must always be adjusted when no signals are present.

The Time Out timer is settable from 30 sec to 270 sec. only through the

programming software.

This feature is disabled by default.

Battery recharge

G15 is equipped for using a 7,4V Li-ion rechargeable battery pack which

can be recharged connecting the socket of the AC/DC wall adaptor to a

mains power socket and inserting the jack of the wall adaptor into the

desktop charger plug.

It takes 4 hours to fully recharge the radio. The led of the desktop charger

indicates the status of the recharge:

Red = charging, Green = full charge

For maximum battery life, we recommend charging the battery pack

when the G15 is oﬀ and the battery pack is fully discharged.

! Using a diﬀerent battery charger other than the one speciﬁed can cau-

se damage to your device or may even cause explosions and personal

injuries.

8 | Midland G15 instruction guide

The Battery power saving feature enables a reduction in consumption of

up to 50%. If it has been set, it automatically activates when the transcei-

ver does not receive any signal for more than 5 seconds in order to save

the battery life. Power saving can be disabled only through Programming

software.

Roger Beep (End transmission tone)

When the PTT button is released, the radio will beep to conﬁrm to other

users that you’ve ﬁnished your transmission and that they can start

talking.

The Roger Beep can be enabled through the programming software.

Keypad Beep

If this function is active, you will hear a beep tone everytime you press a

button (It can be disabled through the programming software).

Vox

The VOX feature enables hands free conversations without using PTT:

just speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication

will be automatically activated. The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 10

diﬀerent levels (0,1,2,3…9) through the programming software:

0 means that the VOX is turned oﬀ, level 1 is set by default and has the

lowest VOX sensitivity, 9 is the highest one.

To activate the VOX feature, keep pressed for about 4 sec. the Function

key1.

With the programming software you can enable/disable the VOX feature

on the Function key and select the sensitivity levels.

Maintenance

Your G15 was designed to fulﬁll any warranty obligations and to enjoy

this product for many years.

As for all the electronically devices, we recommend you to follow this few

suggestions:
