Making Calls from a Prede-
fined List (Alphanumeric
Labels)
You can use your radio to make up to 20 preset calls
known as alphanumeric labels (if programmed). These
calls can be accessed in much the same way as an
electronic phone book. Each preset call has a label using
numbers and/or letters. The label might be a person’s
name, a radio ID, or a telephone number.
Alphanumeric labels allow you to simplify more
complex or repetitive tasks by incorporating them into a
single operation.
An alphanumeric label can be used to perform any of the
following actions (or a combination of these actions):
■
Select a specific channel.
■
Make a specific individual or group call.
■
Call a telephone.
■
Change the radio’s status.
Using an Alphanumeric Sequence
To use an alphanumeric sequence:
1
Long press the menu key to enter menu mode (if the
radio displays a submenu option, press the clear key
to enter the main menu).
2
Scroll through the main menu options using the
arrow keys until
ALPHA SYMBOLS
is displayed, then
short press the menu key (
ALPH
is displayed in the
top left-hand corner, with the alphanumeric label on
the right).
3
Scroll through the alphanumeric labels using the
arrow keys, until the one you want is displayed.
4
Short press the menu key to send the call sequence.
5
Long press the menu key to exit menu mode.
