TX Save Off
Press the assigned
Soft
key or switch the
Toggle
switch to the assigned
position to disable the Transmit Battery Saver, if you are operating in a
location where high power is almost always needed.
The Transmit Battery Saver helps extend battery life by reducing trans-
mit power when a very strong signal from an apparently nearby station
is being received. Under some circumstances, though, your hand-held
radio may not be heard well at the other end of the communication path,
and high power may be necessary at all times.
LCD Invert
Pressing the assigned
Soft
key or switch the
Toggle
switch to the as-
signed position inverts the LCD display to backward-facing readout (the
backward display is convenient for viewing when wearing the transceiv-
er on your belt). Press the assigned
Soft
key again or switch the
Toggle
switch to the other Position-return the LCD display to frontward-facing
readout.
Encryption Off
Press the assigned
Soft
key or switch the
Toggle
switch to the assigned
position to turn off the optional voice encryption unit temporarily, for
use when an incorrect setting of (or failure in) the encryption system at
one end of the communication path has made it impossible to talk to the
other station.
Remember that disabling the encryption will mean that your transmis-
sions are no longer secure. Return to the encrypted mode as soon as pos-
sible, and do not discuss any critical or confidential information while in
the non-encrypted mode of operation.
Lock
Switch the
Toggle
switch to lock the top-panel keys; this can be en-
abled to prevent radio settings from being disturbed.
