8. OPENSKY OPERATION
OpenSky is only available in 700/800 MHz models of the XG-25P series portable radios.
Once an OpenSky system has been selected from the available systems on your XG-25P series portable
radio, the characteristics described in the following sections govern operation.
8.1 CONTROLS
The XG-25P portable radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button on the top of the
radio. Refer to Figure 8-1. The Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and two option buttons are located to the left
side of the radio keypad, see Figure 8-2. The front mounted keypad of the System model radio has 15
buttons and the Scan model radio has six buttons. Refer to Figure 8-3 and Figure 8-4.

8.1.1 Buttons, Knobs, and Switch
The functions of the buttons and knob controls vary depending on the mode of operation. Their functions
while in the OpenSky mode of operation are discussed in the following paragraphs.
Table 8-1: Buttons, Knobs, and Switch Functions
POWER
ON-OFF
VOLUME KNOB
The Power On-Off/Volume Knob is rotated to apply power to the radio,
and adjust audio volume up and
down.
Rotating the control clockwise applies power to the radio. Rotating the control clockwise
increases the
volume level. Minimum volume levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to
a low volume setting. While adjusting the volume, the display will momentarily indicate the volume level
(e.g., VOL=39). The volume range is from a minimum programmed level of 1 (displayed as OFF
in the
display) up to 39, which is the maximum level.
