INTRODUCTION

CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS

Conventional radio systems typically refer to unit-to-unit communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater. To ensure coordinated use by multiple users, each radio user must monitor the channel or repeater before transmitting to verify that the system is not currently busy.

PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS

Your radio has four programmable buttons. Your dealer/programmer can program these buttons as shortcuts to various radio features. Check with your dealer/programmer for a complete list of functions your radio supports. Programmable buttons include:

The four front buttons (C, D, E, and F).

The three buttons (A, B, and C) of the optional DTMF microphone.

Some buttons can access up to two features, depending on the type of button press:

Short Press — quickly pressing and releasing the programmable buttons,

or

Long Press — pressing and holding the programmable buttons for a preprogrammed period of time,

or

Hold Down — pressing and holding down the programmable buttons while checking status or making adjustments.

The table on page 13 summarizes the programmable features available and shows the page number where the feature is explained.

In the “Button” column, have your dealer/ programmer record the name of the programmable button next to the feature that has been programmed to it.

The dealer/programmer can use the abbreviations (P1, P2, P3, or P4) shown in the radio illustration on page 7.

Also, where appropriate, have your dealer/ programmer indicate whether the button press requires a short press, a long press, or needs to be held down.

MENU BUTTONS

Menu Button

If preprogrammed by your dealer/programmer, the two front buttons (Cand D) can be used, in conjunction with other programmable features, to access and select menu options (D); and exit menu mode (C).

The Dbutton can be preprogrammed by your dealer/programmer to either a short or long press to access the Menu Mode.

Menu Scroll Buttons

Used to scroll while in Menu Mode. Refer to the menu navigation chart for menu selectable features at the back of this manual.

Navigate the Menu

Gor Hto scroll through the menu options. If you scroll past the last option, the selection wraps around and starts again.

When you reach the required option, a short press of the Dbutton selects that option and enters the Sub-menu.

Gor Hto scroll through the sub-menu options. Select the option with a short press of the Dbutton.

Exit the Menu

While in Menu Mode, the Cbutton is automatically assigned to completely exit the Menu Mode by a long press or by a series of short presses to exit from a sub-level of the menu hierarchy.

The radio also exits the menu mode if there has been no inputs via the navigation buttons for the “Inactivity Time” or after a selection has been made.

Once you have exited Menu Mode, the C and Dbuttons return to normal programmable condition.
