5 CONTROLS AND INDICATORS
NOTE
This section defines each control of the transceiver. See Figure 4 for
location of controls. For detailed operating instructions refer to chapter 6
of this manual.
5.1 CONTROLS AND CONNECTIONS
POWER SWITCH/VOLUME CONTROL (VOL/PWR)
Turns the transceiver on and off as well as adjusts the audio volume. To
turn the transceiver on press and hold this knob until the LCD turns on. To
turn it off, press and hold this knob until the LCD turns off. When the power
is turned on, the transceiver is set to the last selected channel.
Secondary Use
When the transceiver is turned on while the [SCAN] and [WX] keys are held
down, the internal microprocessor is reset. This clears the memory and all
user-programmed settings, such as scan memory, and priority scan as-
signments. This condition is known as the default condition, the same as
when shipped from the factory. For a list of these defaults, see the section
6.23 Resetting the Transceiver’s Microprocessor.
NOTE
Resetting the microprocessor will not erase the DSC MMSI and the
Individual Directory Call information.
SQUELCH CONTROL (SQL)
Adjusting this control clockwise, sets the point at which random noise on
the channel does not activate the audio circuits but a received signal does.
This point is called the squelch threshold. Further adjustment of the squelch
control will degrade reception of wanted transmissions.
[DISTRESS] Key
Used to send a DSC Distress Call. To send the distress call refer to section
7.5.1 (Transmitting A DSC Distress Call).
KEYPAD
[16/9] Key
Immediately recalls channel 16 from any channel location. Holding down
this key recalls channel 9. Pressing the [16/9] key again reverts to the
previous selected working channel.
Secondary use
Press and hold the [16/9] key then press the [WX] key to switch between
USA, International and Canadian bands.
