POWER: The Power ON/OFF button is located near the upper left corner
of the display screen. Press the button once to apply power, press
again to remove power. Removing power from any unit saves the
last operation of all screens. Some circuitry will remain active
even though power is “OFF”.
SCREEN: When power is applied, the display screen will show the following:
A. Group (GP), Channel (CH) and Frequency that the unit is set to.
(factory default setting or where last used).
B. Voice or Guitar Mode. Normal default is set to Voice. If in Guitar
Mode, a small guitar symbol will be shown on the display (between
Frequency and RF). If the guitar symbol is absent, the unit is set to
voice mode.
C. Diversity Antenna Symbols. A small antenna symbol will be shown
in between CH and AF. One of two symbols will be on or “flickering”
between symbols, indicating diversity operation. (transmitter or user
must be moving (normally) before diversity action can be seen).
D. Battery Symbol. A small battery symbol will be shown below the
Antenna symbol. The symbol will be dark for full battery and light
(proportional) indicating battery strength.
E. Clear Scan symbol. When the receiver is in Clear Scan mode, the
symbol will be flashing.
