THIS RADIO COMPLIES WITH PART 15 OF THE FCC RULES. OPERATION IS SUBJECT TO
THE CONDITION THAT THIS DEVICE DOES NOT CAUSE HARMFUL INTERFERENCE.
Your Midland model P20 UHF FM business two-way radio is designed to provide you with line-of-
sight communications for a range up to 4 miles. The model P20 incorporates channels with 38
different CTCSS and 83 DCS codes to provide the best in quiet communications. Also this radio
offers scan, power save, 9 memory channels and a multifunction back-lighted liquid crystal
display. This unit also incorporates VOX (voice operated transmit) that allows hands free use
when the radio is equipped with certain accessories.
TIPS FOR GETTING THE MOST FROM YOUR P20
Due to the band of operation (464/467/469 MHz) the P20 provides communications that are
virtually free of atmospheric interference (skip) that is common on lower frequency bands. Along
with this and an antenna system that is very efficient, communications range is surprisingly good.
Many times the limit to maximum possible range is environmental factors such as blockage
caused by trees, buildings, hills, or other obstructions. If you find communication is not possible,
many times this can be overcome by moving only a few feet to a new location. Range is greatly
reduced while operating from a metal building or from a vehicle. Battery condition also affects
range. The P20 operates on rechargeable Ni-Cad batteries or alkaline batteries. While this unit
has been designed with gaskets for water resistance and ruggedness it is a precision piece of
electronic equipment that should not be exposed to water or handled carelessly. Normal care
should result in years of trouble free operation. Do not leave batteries installed over a long period
of time as leakage may occur, that can destroy the radio. If you experience problems operating
the radio, turn off the radio, press and hold the “F” button and turn on the radio. This will cause
the radio to return to the factory settings. Always save your receipt, as it is required for
warranty consideration.
