6.4 Vibration alert
With reference to par. 5.11, you can set your device to vibrate for
about two seconds whenever it receives a calling tone (CALL) from
other MIDLAND G2 instead of sounding the received melody. To set
the silent mode do the following:
1) Press seven times the MENU button. The display shows VIb
(vibration) followed by oF (vibration disabled) or On (vibration
enabled) flashing together with the icon.
2) Press the + or – button until you have made your selection
3) Press the PTT button to exit, or wait for a few seconds. The device
will go back to standby mode storing the new value set.
When vibration alert is enabled the display shows it by this icon.
Moreover, whenever you switch on your transceiver it will vibrate
briefly to remind you.

Vibrating alert used frequently increases battery consumption.
6.5 Dual Watch
The Dual Watch function simulates simultaneous listening of two
channels of your choice by scanning them rapidly. To set dual watch
do the following:
1) First select a channel of your choice.
2) Press seven times the MENU button. The display shows dual
watch followed by oF (dual watch disabled) or On (dual watch
enabled).
3) Press the + or – button until you have selected the second
channel to insert into dual watch.
4) Press the PTT button to enable dual watch on the channels
selected on step 1 and 3.
During dual watch the display shows the icon flashing. As for
scanning, if you answer a call with dual watch enabled, MIDLAND
G2 pauses dual watch for a maximum of five seconds after you have
finished transmitting to give you the chance to hear in the event of a
reply from the other party before restarting dual watch automatically.
To disable dual watch press the SCAN/MON button. The icon
will disappear from the display and the transceiver will go back in
standby mode on the channel which had been selected at step 1.
6.6 Transmission lock when channel is busy
Before transmitting (by pressing the PTT or CALL/LOCK button) it
is advisable to make sure the channel is not busy. If you attempt
to transmit on a busy channel you cannot be heard and you could
create radio interference. MIDLAND G2 can be set to prevent you
transmitting on a busy channel by doing the following:
1) Press nine times the MENU button. The display shows bLo (Busy
Lock Out) followed by n (disabled) or Y (enabled) flashing.
2) Press buttons + or – until you have selected the desired setting.
3) Press the PTT button to exit, or wait for a few seconds. The device
goes in standby mode storing the new settings.
If the channel is busy, pressing PTT or CALL/LOCK buttons when this
function is enabled will only produce an error beep. As soon as the
channel is free the PTT and CALL/LOCK buttons are automatically
enabled for their normal functioning.

This function is particularly useful when MIDLAND G2 is
operated by an inexperienced user.
