Using the Caller Stack
The caller stack stores information about unanswered calls. The stack
entry contains the self address of the calling station and automatic
message display (AMD).
MICOM-2E records an address in the stack only once even if the caller
makes repeated unanswered calls.
The appearance of the word PAGE over the 
 button in the LCD
display indicates that there is a call present in the stack.
The stack is arranged in FIFO order, that is, the first address that enters
the stack is also the first that you see on the display.
The stack icon blinks when at least one call address is registered in the
stack. When you display the first unseen calling address on the stack,
the stack icon appears. The icon is automatically turned off after all the
pages in the stack have been erased.
To search the stack for calls:
1.Press[PAGE].
The LCD display shows:
1.  the page number
2.  the name of the calling station
3.  a text message, if transmitted.
2.Press[] under the right arrow to scroll the message in the
display to the right.
3.Press
to scroll if there are additional calls in the stack.
MICOM-2E removes an address from the stack:
· When an operator returns a call to a station registered in the caller
stack, the corresponding address is erased from the stack.

· When the stack is full and a new address comes in. The stack stores
up to ten addresses. The eleventh call pushes the oldest address out
of the stack.
· When an address in stack is erased from the radio panel.
To return a call to a station registered in the stack:
1.Press[CALL].
2.Press[SEND].
The page in the stack is deleted automatically. The process from this point
onward is like a regular call process.
To delete a page from the stack manually:
1.Press[ERAS].
MICOM-2E asks you to confirm your intentions.
2.Press[YES] to delete the page,[NO] to cancel the deletion.

The LCD display indicates that the monitor setting
has been changed.

Tuning the Antenna Tuner
If the antenna system is equipped with an automatic antenna tuner and
the tuner is enabled, the radio will automatically tune the antenna tuner
after each channel selection. Configuring the radio to work with an
automatic tuner is performed via the RSS or the front panel.

Installation
General
This section describes the installation of the radio in a mobile or fixed
station configuration.
The following paragraphs contain general installation procedures for
both types of configuration.
Government Regulations
Read carefully the Licensing and Safety Information given in the front
matter of this manual. Be sure that all your radio operation complies
with these guidelines.
Inspection
Carefully inspect the radio immediately upon receipt, and notify the
shipper of any damage incurred in transit.
Radio Installation Planning
Select the mounting location for convenience of access to electrical
connections and for maintenance. The selected location should be
clean, dry and well ventilated. Do not mount the unit in close proximity
to strong electrical fields produced by brush motors and generators,
welders, etc.
The antenna, antenna tuner and associated cable kits are provided
separately. These should be installed before the radio is installed.
Follow the instructions included with the units and kits.
The radio may be placed on any sturdy, flat surface. An accessory
mounting tray (included in the Mobile Mounting Kit, FLN2272) allows the
radio to be mounted in any position.
Before installing the radio, read the entire installation procedure detailed
in this section. Follow the instructions carefully.
No preliminary internal wiring connections are required before installing
the radio.

Base Station Installation
In fixed station installation, an AC power supply is used instead of the
12 V battery. (It is possible to connect a backup battery to the battery
terminals on the power supply.) One power supply model is available:
– F2369 for 220 V AC, 50 Hz, field programmable for 110 VAC, 60 Hz.
Figure 2:  Power Supply
This power supply also serves as a charger for the external backup
12-V battery, if connected. When AC power failure occurs, the battery
functions as the main power source. When AC power is again available,
the power supply charges the battery.
The cable and connector supplied with the power supply enable
connecting the supply directly to DC connector J4 at the radio rear
panel. (The DC Power Cable supplied with the radio is not used in this
installation.)

Figure 4 shows the location of the installed components within the
vehicle.
Figure 4:  Front MICOM-2E Installation Within Vehicle
The radio is installed on the dashboard of the vehicle inside the
passenger compartment. The other components connect to the power
source, the battery, and to the antenna, which enables the radio to
transmit and receive. If the battery is located in the rear section of the
vehicle, the power cable extends to the battery location in the rear.

Trunk Model Installation
In the trunk model of MICOM-2E, only the control head, the speaker,
and the microphone are installed in the passenger compartment of the
vehicle. The radio transceiver is installed in the trunk of the vehicle
together with the antenna tuner. The diagram in Figure 5 illustrates the
installation procedure for the trunk model of MICOM-2E.
