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 metallic constructions, the range can be reduced. Normally the co-

verage 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 maxi-

mum 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.

Maintenance

Your BR03 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 some

suggestions:

Do not attempt to open the unit. Non-expert handling of the unit may

damage it and/or void the warranty.

High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, and warp or

melt certain plastics. Do not store the radio in dusty or dirty areas.

Keep the Radio dry. Rainwater or damp will corrode electronic circuits.

If it appears that the Radio diuses peculiar smell or smoke, please shut o

its power immediately and take o the charger or battery from the Radio.

Do not transmit without antenna.

Programming software (optional)

Thanks to Midland Programming software PRG-10 speciﬁcally made for

BR03, it is possible to increase the performance of your radio.

For further information, please consult the Programming software ma-

nual.

Any attempt to change frequencies or output power of the radio invalida-

tes the approval.

Operations

Power on/o 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.

Rotate the control counter-clockwise till hearing a mechanical “click”, to

turn the radio o.

Transmission

To communicate, all radios in your group must be set to the same channel.

Brieﬂy press the Function key 1 to enable the Monitor feature that will

verify if the frequency is not busy, then press the PTT button.

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 temporarily excluding (opening) the Squelch,

in order to listen to signals that are too weak to keep the Squelch perma-

nently opened.

Brieﬂy press the Function key 1 to enable such function.

Scan

Keep pressed the Function key 2 for about 3 sec. to enable the SCAN

function: the radio will scan all channels starting from the channel in use.

The display of the radio will show a ﬂowing arrow from left to right (scan

upwards); with the UP/DOWN controls it is possible to change the scan

direction (scan downwards).

Whenever a signal is detected, the scan will stop on a busy channel.

With the optional programming software PRG-10 you can choose 3 dif-

ferent scan modes.

The scan mode set by default is the one on the received carrier.

When the signal is no longer detected, the scan will automatically start

again after 7 seconds roughly.

Pressing the PTT will stop the scan and the radio will transmit on the chan-

nel in use.

To start the scana gain, press the Function key 2.

Vox

BR03 enables hands-free conversations through the VOX function: just

speak in the direction of the microphone and the communication will be

automatically activated.

The VOX sensitivity can be adjusted in 10 dierent levels (OFF,1,2,3…9)

through the programming software or the radio menu.

OFF means that the VOX is turned o, 1 is the lowest VOX sensitivity

level and 9 is the highest one.

To adjust the VOX to the desired level through the radio menu, follow

these steps:

• Brieﬂy press the Function key 2.

• Press twice the Function key 1. The display will show the sensitivity level

with the indication “ ”. With the UP/DOWN keys set the desired

level from 0 to 9.

• Conﬁrm by pushing PTT or wait for about 3 seconds.
