MON button (Monitor)
The Monitor button is for temporarily excluding (opening) the squelch, in order
to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the squelch permanently opened.
By excluding the squelch you will avoid listening the communication "chopped"
by the squelch. In order to activate the Monitor function, so as to listen to
all traffic on the selected channel, keep pressed the MON/SCAN button for
about 2 seconds. Keep pressed the button MON/SCAN for about 2 seconds
to disable this function.
Scanning all channels
Midland G7/G7E Pro can automatically search for signals throughout the
PMR/LPD bands by scanning, i.e. selecting the channels in rapid sequence.
When a signal is detected, the scanning pauses on that channel and you can
transmit by pushing PTT . If you press PTT during scanning you can transmit
on the channel from which the scanning started. The scroll buttons / allow
you to change the direction of scanning (from lower channels to higher ones
or vice versa) and therefore to skip communications which are of no interest.
Press briefly the button MON/SCAN to start scanning.
If you want to stop it, press again MON/SCAN. Your transceiver will go back
to the channel from which the scanning originally started.
Display backlight
If there is insufficient light to read the display you can press the MENU button
to switch the display back light on for about 5 seconds.
Switching the backlight on the display adds an additional drain on the batteri-
es. Try to make a moderate use of this.
Keypad lock
Keep pressed CALL/ for about 5 seconds and
mation. Only PTT and CALL/ remain active. To disable this function, keep
pressed again CALL/ for 5 seconds approx.
