ICP9000 Navigator Series Console Operator’s Manual Standard Feature Operation
35 12/10
Enhanced Multi-Frequency Operation
If more than four frequencies are enabled on a particular channel, the four buttons in the frequency
window operate as
SEL , UP , HOME and DOWN . This mode of operation is indicated by the UP and
DOWN button-indicators both being lit. In this mode of operation, the frequency must be selected from a
list displayed in the information window via scrolling using the UP and DOWN buttons. To enter the
frequency selection mode, press either the SEL , UP or DOWN button. The SEL indicator flashes and the
console enters the frequency selection mode. The channel alias on the status line of the information
window flashes indicating that a new alias or frequency can be selected using the
UP or DOWN buttons.
To return to the previously selected frequency prior to entering frequency selection mode, press the
HOME button for less than two seconds. This is useful if entry into the frequency edit mode was
accidental and the operator does not wish to change the currently selected frequency. While in frequency
selection mode, if no button is pressed for five seconds, the frequency selection mode is automatically
exited and a new frequency is not selected.
Once the desired alias is selected, the operator can:
a. press the SEL button to select the new frequency, transmit the new frequency to the base station and
exit frequency selection mode,
b. press the main TRANSMIT button to select the new frequency, transmit the new frequency to the base
station, exit frequency selection mode and begin a voice transmission on the newly selected
frequency,
c. press the MONITOR button to select the new frequency, transmit the new frequency to the base
station, exit frequency selection mode and place the base station in monitor mode on the newly
selected frequency, or
d. press and hold the HOME button for at least two seconds or until the HOME indicator lights to store
the frequency as a home or revert frequency. The home frequency can now be recalled and selected
quickly outside of the frequency selection mode by simply pressing the
HOME button. Each channel
can have a HOME frequency.
If the channel has channel frequency change buttons, the associated indicator will illuminate assuming
the selected frequency is the same as that of the channel frequency change button.
