Getting to Know Your Radio
If the radio fails the self-test again, contact your system
manager.
Adjusting the Volume
To adjust the volume to a comfortable level:
Press the Volume rocker button (
V) up or down until the desired
volume level is reached.
Turning the Display/Keypad Light On or Off
The display light is useful when you need to read the information on
the display and locate keys on the keypad in less than optimal lighting
conditions (for example, during night time).
To toggle the display and keypad light on or off:
Press the preprogrammed light button. (The default is Side
Button 1.)
The Control Head ships from the factory with the backlighting set to
ON.
Browsing through Menus (Softkeys)
Softkeys are menu items that appear on the bottom row of the control
head’s display. These menu items are software-activated and enable
you to access many of the radio’s features without having to activate
dedicated mechanical controls. Each menu item has a four-digit alpha
label (for example,
087( and 9,(:).
To browse through available softkey options and lists:
Press the
< and > scroll key as appropriate.
If you scroll continuously in one direction, the display will wrap around
to the beginning of the list. To scroll faster, hold down the desired
scroll key.
