Keys &

Displays
Eleven keys provide access to all of the
unit’s features and functions. When any key
(except the PTT key) is pressed, the unit will
acknowledge by emitting a single beep confir-
mation tone. Some keys have dual functions
and those keys on the front of the unit are
illuminated when the display backlighting
feature is active.
Power/Backlighting Key - This key turns on
the unit when pressed and released, and turns
the unit off when pressed and held for more
than one second. Briefly pressing and releasing
the power key when the unit is on will activate
the backlighting feature and will last for five
seconds after the last key is pressed.
Channel Up and Channel Down Keys -
Pressing these CH arrow keys sets the operating
channel. Pressing these keys while the Squelch
key is pressed and held, sets the squelch
threshold level.
Call Channel Programming/Call Key -
Pressing this key for longer than 1 second after
selecting a channel from one of the channel bands
will store that channel as the calling channel to
be accessed whenever the Call key is pressed. You
can program a Call channel for each of the three
bands (USA/Canadian/International).
NOTE: Selection of appropriate call channels is
based on a working knowledge of available
channels and their designated uses.
Volume Increase and Volume Decrease Keys -
Pressing the plus and minus keys increases or
decreases the volume of received transmissions
and audio tones.
