Introduction
Conventional Channels
Conventional channels consist of a transmit and receive frequency
pair, and associated squelch code pair, and a time-out timer value.
See “Conventional Radio Features” on page 29.
Field Programming
Other radio features may be slaved to the selected mode by field
programming. This
mode slaving means that the radio is
preprogrammed to automatically give you the proper operation for
each mode you select.
You may use the control head to program your own mode names.
The names you assign are clearly shown in the alphanumeric display.
You can see all the key operating information, including the mode
selected or being scanned, and the on/off status of various features.
The operating conditions are shown either by the display or by visual/
audio indicators, or by both.
Display Status
The control head display indicates your selected mode, or the
currently active receive mode.
Feature Control
You can turn the various radio features on or off, change modes, and
adjust the volume.
To exit a feature, such as call, press the
EXIT or HOME button
located on the keypad mic.
