references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references subsequent references to, or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

Channel H 467,550 MHz 457,550 MHz
Channel J 467,575 MHz 457,575 MHz
Independent selection of transmitting and receiving frequencies shall not be possible.
The equipment shall be fitted with at least one single-frequency simplex channel, the frequency of which
shall be 457,525 MHz.
It shall not be possible to transmit during channel-switching operations.
4.3 Controls
The equipment shall have the following controls:
- a channel selector which shall indicate the designator of the channel to which the equipment is set;
- on/off switch for the equipment with visual indication that the equipment is switched on;
- a manual non-locking, push-to-talk switch to operate the transmitter;
- an audio-frequency power volume control.
The user shall not have access to any control which, if wrongly set, might impair the technical
characteristics of the equipment.
4.4 Switching time
The channel switching arrangements shall be such that the time necessary to change over from using one
of the channels to using any other channel does not exceed 5 seconds.
The time necessary to change over from transmission to reception and vice versa, shall not
exceed 0,3 seconds.
4.5 Safety precautions
Provision shall be made for protecting equipment from the effects of excessive current or voltage. Means
shall be incorporated to prevent reversal of polarity of the battery power supply.

The battery may be an integral part of the equipment.
Primary and/or secondary batteries may be used.
Provisions shall be made for replacing the battery easily.
If the equipment is fitted with secondary batteries, a suitable battery charger shall be recommended by the
manufacturer.

documentation shall be supplied with the equipment.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient temperatures
5.1 Normal end extreme test conditions
Tests shall be made under normal test conditions and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
5.2 Test power source
Unless otherwise stated, the battery of the equipment shall be replaced by a test power source capable of

The voltage of the power source shall be measured at the input terminal of the equipment.
During testing, the power source voltage shall be maintained within a tolerance of ±3 % relative to the
voltage level at the beginning of each test.
