Locking Segments
You may record some segments that you don't want played back over the air during
remote access. These can be Locked out locally by pressing the MHz button when
the DVS-1 is in its normal (non-remote) mode. Pressing MHz once locks out both
recording and playback, indicated by an "L" near the center of the display and
another "L" at the right side of the display. Press MHz a second time to allow
playback, but not recording (only the rightmost "L" displayed). Press MHz a third
time to cancel Lockout.
Note that segments that are locked out for playback cannot be accessed by remote
operators. However, segments locked out for recording only (only rightmost "L"
displayed when the Segmentation Code is displayed), can be unlocked by remote
operators, and then recorded over and locked again, if desired. The usefulness of
this design is that if you are away from the transceiver and have set it for remote
operation, your friends can call in and leave messages. You can then access these
messages while you are away, using another transceiver, and either leave your
replies or just clear the available memories (those you haven't locked out for
playback locally) to accept new messages.
