4. MENU SYSTEM
This section details the operation of the menu system.
The RPX6500 series has a menu system that is configurable by the PS. The PS has a number of
menu entries that can be applied as desired in the order desired. In simple configurations, no
menu can be programmed, if desired. See
Figure 5
for example menu.
Pressing the ‘F1’ key from the top-level channel screen enters the menu system. By default this
key has a soft menu label alongside it titled ‘MENU’. When in the menu system, the soft key ‘F4’
is generally the ‘
OK
’ key.
The possible menus are:
• Zone (usually the first menu as it is often accessed)
• Radio Info
• Squelch
• Mode
• Mute Adjust (FM)/Monitor (DMR)
• RSSI
• Phonebook
• Crypto
• Phonebook Edit
• Stored Calls
• User Options
• Messages
• Setup
• Scan Edit
• Contrast
• No Menu
• Alert Volume
The presence and order of the above menu selections is determined by the PS configuration.
The
Setup
menu is special.
Setup
is a subgroup that can have any of the list of menu selections
assigned to it. This means that the lesser used selections can be partly hidden away under the
Setup subgroup but still remain accessible if desired.
The order and presence of the Setup subgroup selections is determined by the PS. For instance
Info,
RSSI
and
Contrast
could be placed under Setup.
The
User Options
menu group is also a menu subgroup. This subgroup usually contains on/off
functions, such as Key Beeps or Backlight.
4.1. MENU NAVIGATION
Pressing the ‘F1’ key selects Menu mode from the main Channel Screen. Once in menu mode,
the and keys cycle through the menus.
To exit Menu mode, press the ‘F1’ key again or the Menu timeout will exit automatically.
Generally, pressing ‘F1’ key while in a menu backs up to the next highest level of menu and the
‘F4’ (OK) key selects the menu screen.
The and keys are used to navigate through a list of options such as channels, or to increase/
decrease a value.
When the ‘F1’ (menu) key is first pressed, the numeric keys become short cut keys to functions.
Numeric keys can be programmed (using PS) with functions, e.g. Scan.
