2013 FCC NARROWBAND MANDATE

On January 1, 2013, pursuant to the FCC Narrowband

mandate, Ritron will no longer be allowed to manufacture wide

band (25 kHz) capable radio equipment that operates in the

frequency bands from 150 MHz to 512 MHz. All Ritron D-

Series Radios are FCC certified for narrowband operation, so

the only change required is the elimination of wideband

operation.

To meet the FCC narrowband mandate by Jan 1, 2013, Ritron

will initiate the transition process of manufacturing narrowband

only compliant radio equipment beginning July 1, 2012. After

that date, customer orders will begin to be filled with radios

manufactured for FCC narrowband compliance, with no

provisions for wideband operation except where allowed by

FCC rule. These radios will be clearly marked as “FCC

Narrowband Compliant”. The narrowband manufacturing

process will proceed gradually on a model by model basis, with

all models narrowband compliant by the January 1, 2013

deadline.

For a complete list of Ritron radios capable of narrowband

operation; a Ritron FAQ on the subject, and various links on

the FCC website dealing with Narrowbanding go to:

www.ritron.com/narrowband

ON-OFF / VOLUME ADJUST

To turn on the radio - press the On / Volume Up button. The

radio will emit a beep and the channel display will light. If the

radio turns on to the Scan Channel it will emit the Scan Beep.

The radio will always turn on to the channel that was selected

when it was last turned off.

To adjust the volume - press the volume up or volume down

button until you reach the desired level. The volume level is

displayed as a number between 0 through 9.

To turn OFF “beeps” - speaker beeps can be disabled through

field programming to provide a silent mode of operation (ideal

for security applications), only your incoming calls will be heard

on the speaker. Refer to page 13 for How to Field Program

Radio Options.

When speaker beeps are disabled only the low battery

indication and 2-Tone decode ring tone, if enabled, are

retained.

To turn off the radio - press and hold the Off / Volume Down

button until a two tone “turn-off beep” is heard. For instant turn-

off, press the PTT button while holding the Off / Volume Down

button.

CHANNEL SELECTION

To change channels - press and release the Channel Selector

button. The radio will emit a short Channel beep, increment the

channel, and the Channel Display will show the new operating

channel. If the highest channel number is selected and you

press the Channel Selector button, the radio resets to channel

1 and the Channel beep is heard on the speaker.

If the Scan Channel is selected - the radio will emit the Scan

Beep and the Channel Display will rapidly flash the channel

numbers as they are scanned. If a signal is received the

channel display will indicate the channel number, and when the

received signal is removed the radio will wait briefly, sound the

Scan Beep, then scanning will resume as normal.

If the Weather Channel is selected - on a VHF radio the

Channel beep will be heard and the display will light a single

segment that indicates which of the seven NOAA frequencies

is monitored. See the “NOAA Weather Radio” section on page

9 for details.

RECEIVE

To hear calls from other users - adjust the volume as desired.

The radio can only receive broadcasts while the Push-To-Talk

button is not being pressed.

Whether or not you hear these broadcasts depends upon the

squelch settings. There are two standard squelch modes that

can be used in the JMX “D-Series” portable.

•Carrier Squelch lets you hear all broadcasts on your

channel strong enough for the radio to detect, and silences

noise.

•Tone Squelch uses the QC or DQC “tone squelch” format

available on the JMX. This allows you to screen out “on-

channel” broadcasts that do not carry the correct code

programmed for the radio.

When Carrier or Tone Squelch is selected by the user, all

channels will operate in that mode. The JMX “D-Series” radio

will operate in tone squelch mode when it is first turned on.

OPERATION

Have questions? Call

800-USA-1-USA

(800-872-1872) or visit our website at www.ritron.com 5

To activate Tone Squelch or Carrier Squelch and to Monitor

the channel - simultaneously press both the volume buttons

and hold briefly before releasing.

•If the radio emits a SINGLE beep, then Tone Squelch is

turned ON and you will only hear radio transmissions on

that channel with the same QC or DQC tone codes as your

radio.

•If the radio emits a DOUBLE beep, then you are in Carrier

Squelch and you can Monitor all broadcasts on the

channel. To exit Carrier Squelch press and hold both

volume buttons until you hear the SINGLE beep.

Note: It is possible that the beginning of a call might be

missed while the radio is in battery saver mode. If this

happens, ask the caller to repeat the message.

If you are unable to activate Carrier Squelch - the radio has

been optionally programmed for Monitor Lockout. See your

Ritron dealer or contact Ritron directly to disable this option.

QC TONE CODES

(Interference Eliminator Codes)

Tone codes help filter out the “chatter” of others that

share your radio channel. When you operate on a

frequency with a tone code, you screen out most

Interference. This allows you to hear only those users in

your radio group.

IMPORTANT! All radios in the talk group must operate on

the same frequency and tone code.

TRANSMIT

Normally, you should not transmit until the channel is quiet.

This can be determined by monitoring the channel prior to

transmitting.

To transmit - hold down the Push-To-Talk button and with the

radio four inches away talk into the microphone. Speak in a

normal tone, since talking louder will not improve the listener’s

reception.

Keep talk times as short and infrequent as possible to

conserve battery, minimize radio frequency exposure, and

allow others to use the channel.

RADIO ALERT TONES

The handheld responds to certain instructions by sounding a

beep or series of tones. These tones can tell you that the radio

is working as you expect.

Power On / Self Check “OK”

When it is first turned on, the radio runs a quick “self test” to

confirm basic functions. When complete the radio will emit the

channel beep and the Channel Display will show the operating

channel. The radio is then ready to use.

Error Tones

However, if the “self test” detects a diagnostic error, an error

tone sounds. The error tone indicates the radio frequency

synthesizer is malfunctioning. Turn off the radio and try again.

The error tone will also sound if a channel has been

programmed for an invalid frequency. A long, low-pitched tone

means the battery voltage is too low to operate the radio. In

this case, recharge the battery. If you cannot correct a

problem, consult an authorized Ritron service facility or Ritron.

OPERATION

800-USA-1-USA

(800-872-1872) or visit our website at www.ritron.com 6

Channel Select

When the Channel button is pressed, the radio will emit a short

Channel beep, increment the channel, and the channel display

will show the new operating channel.

Scan Channel (except JMX-111D)

When the Scan channel is selected by pressing the Channel

button, the radio will emit the Scan beep and begin scanning.

Tone Squelch

When you press and hold both Volume buttons at the same

time, a single beep will sound to indicate that tone squelch is

on. A “double beep” means that carrier squelch is on.

Recharge Battery Alert

As the battery voltage approaches the minimum required

“operating voltage” the radio will emit a series of short beeps to

alert the user that the battery will soon need recharging. Once

the battery charge drops below the required “operating

voltage,” the radio emits a long, low tone and turns itself off. If

you turn the radio back on, it will beep again and shut itself off.

Recharge the battery.

Transmitter Time Out

A low tone followed by a higher-pitched tone sounds and the

transmitter automatically shuts off if you hold down the PTT

button longer than 60 seconds. The radio automatically

switches to receive mode.

OPTIONAL ALERT TONES

JMX “D-Series” models JMX-144D / 444D / 446D can be

programmed using the RITRON PC Programmer for optional

alert tones. See your Ritron dealer or contact Ritron directly for

programming of these options.

Receive Squelch Tone

A short tone sounds at the end of each received transmission

to indicate that the channel is clear and you may transmit.

Busy Channel TX Inhibit

If a user is transmitting on your radio frequency without your

tone, you will not be allowed to transmit. The radio will beep a

series of long, low tones while the PH is held down (like a busy

signal).

Transmit Clear To Talk Beep

A short tone sounds after the PTT has been pressed to

indicate that the radio is ready for you to begin talking.

A Transmit / Busy Lamp in the

upper left corner of the Channel

Display is lit whenever the

transmitter is activated and blinks

when the channel is busy.

SCAN CHANNEL OPERATION

Channel scanning allows you to listen to broadcasts on your

radio channels. The JMX “D-Series” (except JMX-111D) will

scan all channels programmed into the radio with the exception

of the NOAA Weather Channel, refer to page 9.

How Scanning Works

Using the Channel Selector button, select the Scan Channel.

The radio sounds the Scan Beep, and then repeatedly checks

each channel in the scan list. The channel display will show the

channel numbers as they are scanned.

When receiving a call on a channel being scanned, the radio

will stop scanning to let you hear communications on that

channel. After the transmission has ended the radio will pause

before it resumes scanning to allow you time to respond.

When transmitting from the Scan Channel, the handheld will go

to the last channel on which a signal was received, then

transmit. After you release the PTT the radio will pause to

allow time for a response, and then resume scanning.

Busy Channel Blocking

If one of the channels in the scan list is so busy that you want

to temporarily block it out, press the Channel Selector button

while the radio is stopped on the channel to be blocked and

hold it until scanning resumes. The blocked channel will now

be skipped in the scan list. The blocked channel will be

returned to the scan list if the radio is turned off, or when the

radio channel is changed using the Channel Selector button.

Channel 1 cannot be blocked.

Last Channel Scanned Alert Tone

When changing channels with the Channel Selector button, an

alert tone will sound to indicate the last channel that received a

message when the radio was scanning. This will identify the

channel on which the last message was received, and allow

uninterrupted transmission on that channel without the

constraints of scanning. You can then press the Channel

Selector button to return to the Scan Channel.

Priority Scanning (Optional)

The JMX-144D / 444D / 446D radios can be optionally

programmed for priority scanning. Priority Scan allows

you to periodically monitor a Priority Channel, even if the

radio has stopped on another channel. This will prevent

missed calls on the primary operating channel when in

scan mode.

With Priority Scan enabled:

•The first channel in the scan list is the Priority Channel.

•The radio checks the Priority Channel every two

seconds to check for activity. This time is

programmable and can be set for 1 - 8 seconds.

•The radio can be programmed to transmit only on the

Priority Channel when scanning, if desired.

•The radio can be programmed to sound a Priority

Channel Beep whenever the radio receives on the

Priority Channel when scanning.

See your Ritron dealer or contact Ritron directly for PC

programming of this option.
