Option Buttons

Six option buttons on the front panel (one is located to the left of the display) can be
programmed to control a different set of functions for each of the three operating modes.
Therefore, up to 18 different functions can be controlled by these buttons (six each for
conventional, SMARTNET/SmartZone, and P25 Trunking).
