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 ran-
ge 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 batteries or 4 AA alkaline
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 batteries must be recharged before the first use.
Warnings
• BATTERIES - Strictly follow all the warnings on the batteries stated at
chapter “Battery recharge”.
• Do not open the radio for any reason! The radio’s precision mechanics and
electronics require experience and specialized equipment; for the same re-
ason, 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
equipment. 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 function ‘Side Tone’: End transmission noise muer
• “Dual PTT” feature for high or low output power. Midland G9 Plus is
equipped with a Dual PTT key. Thanks to this brand new feature, it is pos-
sible to use the high power only when it is really necessary, enabling in this
way a high reduction of the battery consumption.
• “Emergency CALL” feature. Midland G9 Plus introduces an innovative
and important feature: the channel dedicated to the emergencies. Radio
communications usually happen between two or more users which are tu-
ned on the same channel: it’s not possible to transmit or receive to/from
dierent channels. But thanks to the “Emergency” function, you can also
keep a check on the Emergency channel: all users having a Midland G9
Plus can communicate on the tuned channel and at the same time can
receive/transmit Emergency messages on the dedicated channel. Simply
keep pressed the EMG button for 3 seconds and an emergency CALL will
be sent to all the G9 Plus within the range: they will be automatically tuned
on the “EC” channel (Emergency Channel).
• “Manual Out of range” feature: just press twice the EMG button and
you will verify whether there are some radios within the range of your
equipment.
• “Vox TalkBack” feature: 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.
