INTRODUCTION
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.

RADIO OVERVIEW
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 11 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 5.
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.
