Getting to Know Your Radio
3 Turn the Volume Knob clockwise to turn the radio on again.

manager.
Adjusting the Volume
To adjust the volume to a comfortable level:
Turn the Volume Knob clockwise (to increase the volume) or
counter clockwise (to decrease the volume).
Turning the Display/Keypad Light On or Off
The display light is useful when you need to read the information on
the display and locate keys on the keypad in less than optimal lighting
conditions (for example, during night time).
To toggle the display and keypad light:
Press the
DIM
softkey.
The Control Head ships from the factory with the backlight set to
HIGH
.
Entering Menus (Softkeys)
Softkeys are menu items that appear on the bottom row of the control
head’s display. These menu items are software-activated and enable
you to access many of the radio’s features without having to activate
dedicated mechanical controls. Each menu item has a four-digit alpha
label (for example,
MUTE
and
VIEW
).
To access a menu item:
Press the menu-select button ( m ) immediately below the
softkey you wish to access.
