Only radios using the same operating channel
can communicate with each other. Radios
equipped with QC communicate only with units
programmed with the same QC code.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
TAKE PRECAUTIONS IN THE FOLLOWING
ENVIRONMENTS TO MAXIMIZE THE LIFE
OF YOUR RADIO EQUIPMENT:
MOISTURE
JOBCOM radios are not waterproof; DO NOT
expose them directly to rain or excessive
moisture.
EXTREME HEAT
High temperatures can damage the battery and
other components. DO NOT expose the units to
extreme heat or leave them in direct sunlight.
LOW TEMPERATURES
The capacity of the Ni-Cad battery is greatly
reduced in extreme cold. When using the unit in
very cold environments, periodically warm the
radio beneath your coat.
EXCESSIVE TRANSMISSIONS
Maximum drain on battery power occurs when
you are transmitting. DO NOT hold the Push-To-
Talk switch down longer than necessary during
transmission intervals.
DO NOT reduce battery service life by attempting
to power a radio with a depleted battery; always
charge batteries overnight after each day of use.
VIBRATIONS/ SHOCKS
Although your JOBCOM radio is designed to be
rugged, it will not survive excessive abuse. Avoid
dropping the radio.
NOTE: Use of the optional MH-A holster
provides additional protection from
shocks and weather.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The RITRON JOBCOM handheld radio is
designed for business and industry, and is built
to survive years of light- to medium-duty service.
It receives and transmits on a single channel.
Each JOBCOM radio comes packaged with a
flexible antenna, a plug-in battery charger and
has a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery pack
installed. Contact your RITRON dealer for
optional accessories.
IMPORTANT: Because the battery pack can
lose its charge during storage and
shipment, fully charge it before use.
Charge standard VHF units for eight
hours; since UHF units contain a
higher-voltage battery pack, allow
longer charging time.
Because JOBCOM portables transmit on com-
munications frequencies authorized by the FCC
(Federal Communications Commission), you
must license your radios before use. Refer to
"How To Obtain An FCC Radio License" on the
next page.
A JOBCOM radio has one of twelve specific
channels installed; see the listing below. The
color of the dot ( ) or star ( ) on the case
indicates the operating channel (frequency).
151.625 MHz (RED )
462.625 MHz (BLACK )
154.570 MHz (BLUE )
462.675 MHz (ORANGE )
154.600 MHz (GREEN ) 464.500 MHz (BROWN )
462.575 MHz (WHITE ) 464.550 MHz (YELLOW )
467.850 MHz (SILVER ) 467.900 MHz (RED )
467.875 MHz (GOLD ) 467.925 MHz (BLUE )
In locations where a is shared with other users,
equip your JOBCOM radios with the optional QC
(Quiet Call) module to screen out transmis-
sions from outside your group. You will hear
transmissions within your group, and you will
NOT hear any radio which does not transmit the
group code. However, any user listening on the
channel can hear your coded transmissions if his
radio is not set for tone squelch.
NOTE: Quiet Call is the RITRON trade name
for tone squelch, or CTCSS (Continuous
Tone Coded Squelch System).
To hear all transmissions on the channel, rotate
the squelch control knob clockwise to turn QC
OFF. To ensure you do not interfere with others
using the same channel, briefly check channel
