The radio display provides you with information on a
number of aspects of the radio’s operation.
A typical display is shown below:
Active Modes
Your radio has a number of operating modes, such as
CHAN
(channel),
MENU
(menu), and
CONT
(contrast).
The active mode appears in the upper left-hand corner
of the display.
The lower left-hand corner gives additional information
on the current status of the radio. In this example,
RTA
indicates the radio is in repeater talkaround mode.
Current Operation
The panel on the right-hand side shows data for the
current radio operation. In this example,
CHAN9
indicates what channel the radio is currently operating
on. When you enter data for a specific function, such as
dialling a call, the information appears in this panel.
Display Icons
The bottom line of the display shows a series of icons
that give additional information on the state of the radio,
including information on current settings, the battery
charge level and operational status.
