OTHER OP-

MASKING A BAND

If you have no plans to use band A or B, you can hide the

frequency display on the unused band. This saves power

consumption and makes it simpler to read the information

you need.
1 Turn the transceiver power OFF.
2 Press the left or right [BAND SEL] + Power ON.

• The band mask display appears.

3 Rotate the Tuning control to select the band you want

to hide (or return to normal).

4 Press the Tuning control to set the selected band.
5 Rotate the Tuning control to set the band to select

USE or MASK.

• USE allows you to see and use the band as normal.

MASK hides the band on the display.

6 Press the Tuning control to set the selection.
7 Press the [ESC] to exit.

Note: You cannot operate the masked band nor use it to receive or

transmit.
