This section defines each control of the transceiver. See Figure 1 for
location of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to chapter
4 of this manual.
3.1
CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
q
POWER SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL
Turns the transceiver on and off as well as adjusts the audio volume. To
turn the transceiver on press and hold this knob until the LCD turns on.
Turn it off, press and hold this knob until the LCD turns off. When the
power is turned on, the transceiver is set to the last selected channel.
Secondary Use
When the transceiver is turned on while the SCAN and WX keys are held
down, the internal microprocessor is reset. This clears the memory and all
user-programmed settings, such as scan memory, assignments. This
condition is known as the default condition, the same as when shipped
from the factory. For a list of these defaults, see the section on Resetting
the Transceiver’s Microprocessor.
NOTE
Resetting the microprocessor will not erase DSC MMSID and
Directory Call Waiting information.
w
SQUELCH CONTROL (SQL)
Sets the point at which random noise on the channel does not activate
the audio circuits but a received signal does. This point is called the
squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch control will
degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
e
KEY PAD
16/9 Key
Immediately recalls channel 16 from any channel location. Holding
down this key recalls channel 9.
Secondary use
Please see secondary use for the WX key.
