JBS-146i-A and JBS-446D-A Instructions
Auto Turn On When Power Restored
Ritron models JBS-146i-A and JBS-446D-A have been built to operate any time power is applied to the base radio, eliminating the need
to press the On/Volume Up button to turn the radio on.
The JBS-146i-A and JBS-446D-A model base radios ............................................................................................................................
• Will turn on any time power is applied to the radio, allowing it to automatically turn back on after a power failure.
• Will store the current channel in EEPROM each time the channel is changed, assuring that the radio will automatically restart
to the current operating channel after a power outage. As an alternative, the radio can be PC programmed to turn on to
channel 1 whenever power is applied.
• Will not turn-off by pressing the Volume Down/Off button. The only way to turn the radio off is to remove power.
• Will restart to a mid volume level after a power outage. As an alternative, this option can be disabled using the PC
Programmer and the radio will turn on at minimum volume.
• Will not turn-off as a result of a low battery condition, therefore, the JBS-146i-A is not recommended for battery powered
applications.
• Does not have Power Save capability for battery conservation.
• Requires Ritron PC Programmer 9.6.0 or higher.
To place the JBS-146i-A or JBS-446D-A into field programming mode ..............................................................................................
1. Remove power from the JBS-146i-A or JBS-446D-A base radio.
2. Hold down the PTT button and re-apply power.
3. Continue to hold the PTT until the beeping has stopped, then release.
4. The radio will display a series of six characters for Radio Identification, then a triple beep will be heard indicating that the JBS-
146i-A or JBS-446D-A base radio is in program mode.
5. When programming is complete, remove power and re-apply to return the radio to normal operating mode.
