OPERATION
page3
ON-OFF / VOLUME ADJUST
To switch on the radio - press the On/Volume Up button.
The radio will emit the Channel beep. If the radio turns on
to the Scan Channel it will emit the Scan Beep. The radio
will turn on to the channel that was selected when it
was last turned off, or can be programmed to always
turn on to channel 1.
To adjust the volume - press the volume up or the volume
down button until you reach the desired level. You
should hear noise or any broadcasts on the channel.
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 7 for details.
RECEIVE
To hear calls from other users - adjust the volume as
desired. The radio can 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 four squelch modes that can be used in the
PBS "D-Series" base radio.
•Carrier squelch lets you hear all broadcasts on
your channel strong enough for the radio to detect,
and silences noise.
•Tone squelch uses one of the QC or DQC “tone
squelch” formats available on the PBS. This
allows you to screen out “on-channel” broadcasts
that do not carry the correct code programmed for
the radio.
•No squelch disables all squelch operation and
allows you to hear even the weakest broadcasts
on your channel.
•2-tone paging can be used in conjunction with
either carrier or tone squelch to block out all calls
except those sent specifically to your radio. When
the unique 2-tone sequence programmed into the
radio is decoded, the radio will emit a series of ring
tones similar to a telephone.
Once a squelch type has been selected by the user,
all channels will operate in that mode. The PBS "D-
Series" radio will operate in tone squelch mode when
it is 1st turned on.
To monitor the channel - press one of the volume
control buttons. When you press the volume up or the
volume down button, squelch turns off and all radio
traffic on the channel (or noise) sounds in the
speaker.
To activate carrier squelch - simultaneously press
both of the volume buttons and hold briefly before
releasing. When carrier squelch is on, the radio emits
a “double beep.” The radio will now let you hear all
broadcasts on your channel.
To activate tone squelch - simultaneously press both
of the volume buttons and hold briefly before
releasing. When tone squelch is turned on, the
handheld sounds one beep. You will only hear
broadcasts that carry the same QC or DQC code
programmed into your radio.
To activate no squelch - simultaneously press both of
the volume buttons and continue to hold them down.
About 3 seconds after the beep (or double beep), the
radio will start beeping repeatedly. This means that
squelch is turned off. Release the buttons. To restore
squelch, press and hold both of the volume buttons
until the radio sounds a beep or double beep.
If you are unable to activate carrier or no squelch the
radio has been optionally programming for Monitor
Lockout. See your Ritron dealer or contact Ritron
directly to disable this option.
QC AND DQC TONE CODES
(Interference Eliminator Codes)
Tone codes filter out static, noise and re-
duce unwanted "chatter" on radio channels.
When you operate on a frequency with a
tone code, you screen out most interfer-
ence. This allows you to communicate with
less interference and 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.

page4
To activate 2-tone paging - simultaneously press both
of the volume buttons and hold briefly before
releasing. When 2-tone paging is turned on, the
handheld sounds a "triple beep". You will only hear
broadcasts that first send your two unique paging
tone. If you are unable to set the radio, you have
selected a channel that is not programmed for 2-tone
paging decode.
Using the "Z" button for squelch - The PBS base radio
"Z" button can be programmed to monitor, toggle tone/
carrier squelch, or reset 2-tone paging.
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.
TRANSMIT
Normally, you should not transmit until no one is talking
on the channel. This can be determined by monitoring
the channel prior to transmitting.
To transmit - hold down the Push-To-Talk button and
with the radio at least 6 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
allow others to use the channel.
OPERATION
RADIO ALERT TONES
The radio 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. If you cannot correct a problem,
consult an authorized Ritron service facility or
Ritron.
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
When the Scan channel is selected by pressing the
Channel button, the radio will emit the Scan beep and
begin scanning.
Squelch Mode
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. If the channel is programmed
for 2-tone paging, a "triple beep" indicate that the
pager has been reset.
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.
Battery Alert Tone
In battery powered installations, as the battery
voltage approaches the minimum required "operating
voltage" the radio will sound a short beep every 20
seconds to alert the user that the battery will soon
need recharge or replacement. Once the battery
voltage drops below the required "operating
voltage" the radio emits a long, low tone and turns
itself off.
OPTIONAL ALERT TONES
The PBS "D-Series" base radio 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.
Courtesy Beep
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 PTT 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.

OPERATION
SCAN CHANNEL OPERATION
Channel scanning allows you to listen to broadcasts
on your radio channels. The PBS "D-Series" base
radio will scan all channels programmed into the radio
except the NOAA Weather Channel.
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. The "Z" button can also be
programmed to initiate scanning.
When receiving a call on a channel being scanned, the
radio will stop scanning to let you hear communica-
tions 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 radio
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.
Temporary 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. The 1st
channel in the scan list 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 PBS "D-Series" base radio 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.
• 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.

2-TONE PAGING OPERATION
To use 2-tone paging the PBS "D-Series"
base radio must be PC programmed for this
option, the radio does not operate with 2-tone
decoding as it is received from the factory. See
your Ritron dealer or contact Ritron directly for PC
programming of this option.
To activate 2-tone paging you must first select a
radio channel that has been PC programmed for
2-tone paging decode. The radio is normally
programmed to automatically activate 2-tone
decode any time the paging channel is selected.
If not, simultaneously press both of the volume
buttons and hold briefly before releasing. The
handheld sounds three beeps when 2-tone
paging is turned on. The "Z" button may also be
programmed for 2-tone paging reset. If you are
unable to set the radio, you have selected a
channel that is not programmed for 2-tone paging
decode.
When receiving a 2-tone page the radio will emit a
"ring" tone similar to a telephone and the display
will show a "C" to indicate that a call has been
received. You can now proceed with normal two
way communication until 2-tone paging has been
reset. The "ring" tone will sound every time a 2-
tone page is decoded.
To reset 2-tone paging after receiving a call,
simultaneously press both of the volume buttons
and hold briefly before releasing. The handheld
sounds three beeps when 2-tone paging is reset
and the display will show the channel number.
The radio can be optionally programmed to
automatically reset if a call is not answered
within 15 seconds, or the "Z" button can be
programmed for 2-tone paging reset.
See "How to Turn Channel Scan On / Off" on
page 8.

hear weather forecasts from the National Weather
Service which are broadcast on one of the seven
NOAA weather frequencies. In some areas you
may be able to receive more than one broadcast.
The radio is shipped from the factory without a
NOAA frequency selected. Before using any of the
NOAA weather features on your VHF radio you
must first select the local NOAA frequency.
1. Follow the steps in FIG-3 at right to place the
radio into the Weather Frequency Select mode.
2. The radio will scan to the 1st NOAA frequency
where a broadcast is present. The display will
light a single segment to indicate the NOAA
frequency per FIG-4.
3. Monitor the channel for a few minutes to be
sure it is the broadcast for your local area.
4. Press the Channel button to scan for the
presence of any other NOAA broadcasts,
monitoring each broadcast and noting the
frequency as indicated by the display.
5. Using the Channel button, select the local NOAA
frequency you would like your radio to operate
on.
6. Turn the radio off by pressing the Volume
Down/Off button.
7. When the radio is turned back on all weather
features will operate on the selected NOAA
frequency.
NOTE: If you move to another location within your
area, or to another state, you must "re-train"
your radio with the local NOAA frequency.

!!CAUTIONS—ALLRADIOS!!
page9
OBSERVE CAUTION IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE OF
YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT:
LOCATION: Be aware that this radio and/or antenna
may create interference with, or be interfered with,
by nearby electronic equipment such as computers,
monitors, keyboards, electronic telephones and
other sensitive devices. Either move the equipment
or use a remote antenna to separate components
sufficiently to stop or reduce interference.
MOISTURE: PBS "D-Series" base radios are not
waterproof. DO NOT directly expose them to rain or
excessive moisture.
CHEMICALS: Detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or
petroleum products can damage the radio case. DO
NOT use petroleum solvents of any kind; use a soft
cloth moistened with water to clean the case.
EXTREME HEAT: High temperatures can damage the
radio and its components. DO NOT expose the units
to extreme heat or leave them in direct sunlight.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS: DO NOT hold the
Push-To-Talk switch down longer than necessary
during transmission intervals.
VIBRATION/ SHOCK: Although your PBS "D-Series"
base radio is designed to be rugged, it will not
survive excessive abuse. Avoid dropping the radio.
The PBS "D-Series" base radios generate RF electromagnetic energy during transmit mode. This product has
been evaluated for compliance with the maximum permissible exposure limits for RF energy at the maximum
power rating of the unit with the antenna included with the unit. To comply with Occupational/Controlled limits,
all persons must be at least 5.7 inches from the antenna while the unit is transmitting. Other antenna may
require lesser or greater distances to meet limits depending upon their gain relative to that tested. Higher gain
antennas are capable of yielding a higher RF energy density in the strongest part of their field and would,
therefore, require a greater separation from the antenna. This product is not designed to be used by the
general public in an uncontrolled environment unless compliance with the Uncontrolled/General Population limits
for RF exposure can be assured.
To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the FCC allowable limits for occupational use,
always adhere to the following guidelines:
• Use only the antenna(s) available from RITRON for these models. DO NOT operate the radio without an
antenna.
• Keep talk times as short and infrequent as possible. DO NOT depress the PTT button when not actually
wishing to transmit. These radios are equipped with an internal timer to limit continuous transmit times.
• When transmitting, maintain a distance of at least 5.7 inches. DO NOT hold the radio in such a manner that
the antenna is next to, or touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes while transmit-
ting.
•DO NOT allow children to operate the radio.
When used as directed, this series of radios is designed to comply with the FCC’s RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only”. In addition, they are designed to comply with the following Standards and Guidelines:
• FCC OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01, Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.1-1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.
• American National Standards Institute (C95.3-1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the Measurement of
Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields-RF and Microwave.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. • Reception can often be improved if you
relocate by a short distance. This effect is
more noticeable inside buildings.
•The range of the PBS "D-Series" base radio
is approximately two miles, line-of-sight.
2. If your radio does not detect calls from other
radios on the channel, turn off Quiet Call by
pressing and holding both volume buttons at the
same time—a double beep indicates Quiet Call is
off.
3. • Without use of a repeater: To hear a call, select a
channel programmed to receive the caller's
transmit frequency. To call another unit, select a
channel programmed to transmit the other radio's
receive frequency.
• Using a repeater: A radio channel can hold two
separate operating frequencies, one for receive
and one for transmit. Your channel must work
with the repeater's transmit and receive
frequencies.
•NOTE: A dealer must program the radio for
repeater operation.
4. •An optional RM-7 Remote Speaker/
Microphone and headset, plus the CCL-M
12 VDC Adapter, allow operation in a
vehicle. See page ii for accessories.
5. • To "talk" with each other, radios must be
programmed identically for Quiet Call code, as
well as frequency. Each code is unique; radios
respond only to the code programmed.
• Press and hold both volume buttons at the same
time.
A single beep indicates Quiet Call squelch is on.
A double beep indicates Quiet Call squelch is off.
