LSC Radio User Guide Information and Guidelines
The following user guide applies to both the Motorola VL50 and CLS1410 Radio's. Below are guidelines
established for usage.
1) Radios and headsets are to be signed out at the beginning of each day.
2) Radios are to be returned at the end of each day. It has been found that the majority of damage
to both the headsets and radios occur when stuffed into a personal carrying bag.
3) The Chief Judges or their designee is responsible for issuing at the beginning of the day and
collection at the end of each day.
4) The chief judge should have the radios set to the proper channels before issuing. It is advised
that the keyboard should be locked out before issuing in order to avoid settings from being
accidentally changed.
5) Any problems with either the headset or radio should be noted on the sign‐out/in log.
6) We understand that accidents happen, please note any at the time of return.
Thanks for volunteering, your time and effort is appreciated by the LSC, Coaches and most of all our
swimmers. Have a great meet!
