The alphanumeric keys
to
are used to enter letters, numbers and punctuation.
Repeated presses of these keys will give you the characters shown in the table below.
Radio Programming
The radio does not need to be programmed to recognize the presence of a keypad
microphone, as this is automatically done when the radio is powered on.
However, to utilize the alphanumeric keys, particularly in conventional mode, you need to
configure the Default Dialing Type (UI Preferences form or Conventional UI form).
See the Help of the programming application for more information on this field and other
programming options required to enable a particular form of dialing.
You
must
power-cycle the radio after replacing the keypad microphone with a program-
ming lead, in order to read or program the radio.
Installation
Notice
The keypad microphone grommet must be installed whenever the microphone
is plugged into the microphone socket. When installed, the grommet has two functions:
■
to prevent damage to the microphone socket when there is movement of the
microphone cord, and
■
to ensure that the control head is sealed against water, dust and other
environmental hazards.
1 Make sure the radio is turned off, then plug the keypad microphone cord into the
microphone socket on the radio control head.
The radio will only recognize the presence of the keypad microphone when the radio is
powered on, so that if the microphone is plugged in after the radio has been powered on,
it will not recognize the keypad microphone. Also, if the keypad microphone is plugged
in on power up but is later unplugged, then plugged back in, the radio will not recognize
it again until the next power cycle.
