Controls and Display
Certain failures encountered during radio startup are indicated by blinking of the Orange
LED. The Type of failure is indicated by the number of times the LED blinks (1 to 10) as
described in Table 2.2, “LED Startup Failure Indications”
.
ON-OFF/Volume - Turning the knob clockwise turns power on and sets the volume level.
Turning it counterclockwise to the detent turns power off. The minimum volume level can
be set by programming. Soft power down can be programmed as described in Section
3.1.3, "Standard and Soft Power Down", and the volume control can be disabled as
described in Section 3.1.5, "Setting Volume Level".
Rotary Control - The rotary channel selector on top of the radio. May be set for zone
select, channel select or none. Zone select sets the knob to cycle through the first 16 zones.
Channel select sets the knob to cycle through the first 16 channels.
Navigation Pad - The up and down switches on the front of the radio allow changes to
occur as soon as the button is pressed: There is no delay. Channel select allows the user to
cycle through all the channels in the profile using the up and down switches. The radio
will loop from the last channel to the first and vice versa. The radio will display
unprogrammed channels located between other programmed channels. The left and right
switches are used to cycle through soft buttons, if enabled with programming. Otherwise,
the left and right switches can be used as programmable option buttons.
Toggle Control - This three-position switch sets the toggle switch to cycle through the
first 3 zones if programmed for zone select. If toggle control is set to Programmable, then
this three position switch can be used as a programmable option button.
