a larger rectangle will appear behind the frequency numbers. Click again on the COM FREQUENCY

rectangle behind the PG * annunciations will reappear .

the PAGE mode.
Numbers are entered into the specific pages by going to that page, and then entering them as
discussed above. You cannot change pages when in the data entry state. The PG * annunciation and
the rectangle behind it indicate that you are in the PAGE mode and that you can step through the
pages. The rectangle behind the frequency, and the PG * annunciation, show you are in the data
entry state of the PAGE mode. Clicking on the CHANNEL MODE BUTTON while in the PAGE mode
data entry state will take you directly to the CHANNEL mode. Clicking on the CHANNEL MODE
BUTTON again takes you back to the default screen and enters the number into the standby
frequency.
RETRIEVING FREQUENCIES
When desired, the stored frequencies can be retrieved and placed into the active frequency by going
into the CHANNEL mode. This is done by clicking on the CHANNEL MODE BUTTON for less than 2
seconds. A "CH *" annunciation will appear with a semitransparent rectangle behind it to show you
are in the CHANNEL mode. The number displayed is the CHANNEL mode number and corresponds
directly to a specific PAGE mode number. Use the inner, kHz, COM FREQUENCY SELECT KNOB (click
spots C and D) to step sequentially through the channel pages. You can now enter that number into
the standby frequency by clicking again on the CHANNEL MODE BUTTON and then entering it as the
active frequency by clicking on the COM FREQUENCY EXCHANGE BUTTON. Clicking on the CHANNEL
MODE BUTTON will also take you out of the CHANNEL mode back to the default screen.
