Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a
“Memory Only” mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events, where a number of operators may be using the radio
for first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode:
1.
Turn the radio off.
2.
Press and hold in the
MONI
switch (just below the
PTT
switch)
while turning the radio on.
3.
Rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the “
F5 M-ONLY
” option, then
press the [
F/W
] key.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above power-on proce-
dure.

Severe Weather Alert
In the event of extreme weather disturbances, such as severe thunderstorms and hurri-
canes, the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) sends a weather
alert accompanied by a 1050 Hz tone and subsequent weather report on one of the NOAA
weather channels. See page 39 for details regarding activation of this mode.
