1-21 Channel Switch Lock
There may be times when someone wishes to lock the channel switch located on top of the radio. This
does not disable the buttons on the front of the radio as a Key Lock would do. The procedure to lock is
listed below:
With the radio turned off, press and hold the F1 button located on the front of the radio. Next turn the radio
on. The display will show “SW LOCK On!”. Release the F1 button. Try rotating the channel selector and
you will find it does not change channels.
Note: with Switch Lock enabled, it sets the channel to the last channel used before the radio was turned off.
To disable the lock function, repeat the procedure above. The display on the radio will show “SW LOCK
Off!”.
Note: Turning the radio off then back on will not enable the channel selector.
If a button has been programmed for Key Lock and it is enabled, all of the buttons along with the channel
selector knob will be disabled. If a button is pressed or the channel selector knob rotated, the display will
show “KEY LOCK !”.
Note: when Switch Lock is used and the channel selector knob is rotated, there is no indication on the
display.
