INTRODUCTION
The Dual Format PCS

Portable Radio provides reliable
trunked communication in the 800 MHz band. Advanced Dual
Format technology allows the radio to operate within the
EDACS Trunked system and the GE-MARC Trunked system.
The radio will also operate in a Conventional system.
The radio is housed in a molded Lexan front and an aluminum
rear casting. The unit is lightweight and easy to carry. A backlit
numeric display provides clear visibility for night-time opera-
tion. There are two models available, a 3-button Scan and a
12-button System. Both models are capable of Dual Format
operation.
This manual provides instructions for operating both the Scan
and the System model radio in either of the 3 systems (EDACS,
GE-MARC and Conventional). A separate section is provided
for each System (EDACS, GE-MARC and Conventional), with
a complete set of instructions for operating the radio within that
system. The DESCRIPTION section which follows and the
Battery information at the back of the manual, is applicable to
all users.
This radio allows the operator to switch between an EDACS
system, a GE-MARC system and a Conventional system. Special
attention should be given to the system selected and the operating
characteristics of the PCS radio working within that system.
