Understanding the Display Icons
Your 0715 features a high contrast, backlit Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) to provide important information about the status of the
radio while you are programming and using it. The LCD includes
a row of icons at the top that provides information about the
status of the scanner while it is operating. Beneath this row of
icons, there are 4 rows of 16 characters each that provide
alphanumeric information for frequencies, object names, Scan
List status and menu information. Figure 4 provides an example
of the display that is shown while the radio is scanning.
