Coverage/range
The maximum range depends on terrain condition and is obtained during use in an
open space.
The only limitation to maximum possible range are environmental factors such as
blockage caused by trees, buildings, or other obstructions. Inside 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.
Batteries and battery compartment
The transceiver accepts the supplied rechargeable battery pack or 4AAA alkaline/
rechargeable batteries. To open the battery compartment: with the back of the radio
facing you, unhook the battery holder in the lower part of the radio and gently slide the
cover. Insert the battery observing the polarity and place the cover again.
Attention: the supplied battery pack must be recharged before the first use.
Warnings
› BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the warnings on the batteries stated at chapter "Bat-
tery recharge".
› DO NOT OPEN THE RADIO FOR ANy REASON
and electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same rea-
son, the radio should under no circumstances be realigned as it has already been
calibrated for maximum performance. Unauthorized opening of the transceiver will
void the warranty.
› Do not use detergents, alcohol, solvents, or abrasives to clean the equip-
ment. Just use a soft, clean cloth. If the radio is very dirty, slightly dampen the cloth
with a mixture of water and a neutral soap.
FEATURES
› New feature "Emergency CALL"
› Midland G8 introduces an innovative and important feature: the channel dedicated
to the emergencies. Radio communications usually happen between two or more
users which are tuned on the same channel: it's not possible to transmit or receive
to/from different channels. But thanks to the "Emergency" function, you can also
keep a check on the Emergency channel: all users having a Midland G8 can com-
municate on the tuned channel and at the same time can receive/transmit Emer-
gency messages on the dedicated channel. Simply keep pressed the EMG button
for 3 seconds and an emergency CALL will be sent to all the G8 within the range:
they will be automatiCALLy tuned on the "EC" channel (Emergency Channel).
› New feature "Manual Out of range":
verify whether there are some radios within the range of your equipment.
› New feature "Vox TalkBack": if one radio is continuously transmitting in VOX, the
Vox TB will automatiCALLy stop the transmission after 20" to allow the transmission
to the other users as well.
