Getting Started (cont.)

Keypad

The 6-key (model B5) or 15-key (model B7)

keypad activates, or inputs data for, many of your MTX
Series radio’s features. Both keypads’ top three keys
access many of the radio’s features. In addition, the
15-key keypad’s upper 12 keys are arranged, and
function, like a standard telephone keypad. The
bottom three keys of both keypads are the left arrow
key, HOME key, and right arrow key.

Selecting a Feature

A unique feature of the MTX Series radio is its

use of the display to give you quick access to many of
the radio’s features without requiring a dedicated
mechanical key for each feature.

After pressing either of the two arrow keys, the

names of the features (PAGE, CALL, MUTE, etc.) are
shown on the display, three at a time, with key-like
outlines to make them look like keys.

Selection of features is controlled by the three

keys directly below the feature names shown on the
display: the left key selects the left feature, the middle
key selects the middle feature, and the right key
selects the right feature.

Left and Right Arrow Keys

The left ( ) and right ( ) arrow keys are used

to scroll the display forward or backward through the
radio’s features and lists. There is no end point to the
list, so if you continue to scroll in one direction, the
display will “wrap around” back to the beginning of the
list. If you hold either key down, the display will scroll
at a faster rate until the key is released.

The left arrow key is also used for editing when

you are entering information manually from the
keypad. Pressing the left arrow key will backspace,
and erase the display, one character at a time. If you
have erased all the digits, an additional press of the
left arrow key will return the display back to the
preprogrammed list.

HOME Key

The HOME key will always return you to the home

display. This is the current system/mode. In addition,
if you are using a feature that requires it, pressing the
HOME key will also cause information to be saved in
the radio’s memory before going to the home display.
Some radio features will automatically go to the home
display when they are completed, without having to
press the HOME key, thus reducing the number of
keypresses required.
