Radio Overview

On/Off/Volume Knob

Turns the radio on or off, and adjusts the radio’s volume.

Channel Selector Knob

Switches the radio to different channels.

LED Indicator

Indicates status of battery, power-up, scanning, and receipt of a selective call.

Programmable Buttons

Several of your radio’s buttons can be programmed by your dealer as shortcut buttons for many of the radio’s features. Check with your dealer for a complete list of functions your radio supports.

Programmable buttons include:

•The three Side Buttons (A, B, C) and the Top Button (D)

•On keypad radios only, the three Front Buttons (P1, P2, P3)

4

Each button 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 at least 1 1/2 seconds, or

•hold down—pressing and holding down the programmable buttons while checking status or making adjustments.

The table on pages 5 and 6 summarizes the programmable features available and shows the page number where the feature is explained.

In the “Button” column, have your dealer write down the programmable buttons next to the features that have been programmed to them.

Use the abbreviations (e.g., A for Side Button 1, D for Top Button, etc.) shown in the radio illustration at the front of this manual.

Also, where a choice exists, have your dealer indicate whether the button press is short press (SP) or long press (LP).

BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging the Battery

If a battery is new, or its charge level is very low, you will need to charge it before you can use it.

Note: Batteries are shipped uncharged from the factory. Always charge a new battery 14 to 16 hours before initial use, regardless of the status indicated by the charger.

To charge the battery:

Place the battery, with or without the radio, in the charger. The charger LED indicates the charging progress:

	Getting Started
LED color	Status
No LED Indication	Battery inserted incorrectly.
Single Green Flash	Successful charger power-up.
Flashing Red*	Battery unchargeable or not
	making proper contact.
Steady Red	Battery in rapid-charge mode.
Flashing Yellow	Battery in charger, not in rapid-
	charge mode but waiting to be
	charged.
Flashing Green†	Battery 90% (or more)
	charged.
Steady Green	Battery fully charged.

* Remove the battery from the charger and use a pencil eraser to clean the four metal contacts on the bottom of the battery. Place the battery back in the charger. If the LED indicator continues to flash red, replace the battery.

†A standard battery may require one hour to charge to 90%.
