4.3 Menu Mode

Most functions that can be controlled by an option switch can also be controlled by the

menu mode. The functions that can be controlled by the menu mode are shown in Table

4.1. Functions can be controlled by both an option switch and a menu parameter if desired.

When the menu mode is used, the <F1> and <F2> switches become dedicated menu mode

control switches (see following illustration). The <F1> switch is Back/Clear, and the

<F2> switch is Menu Select/Enter. If the menu mode is disabled, these switches can be

programmed for other functions.

Figure 4.1 Menu Mode Buttons

Only the enabled menu items which apply to the selected channel type are displayed. For

example, if a conventional channel is selected, only the enabled functions for conventional

channels are displayed.

When in the menu mode, messages continue to be received on the selected channel.

However, the display does not indicate who is calling. Pressing the PTT switch exits the

menu mode and keys the transmitter.

The menu mode operates as follows:

1 To select the menu mode, press the <F2> key. Up to three menu parameters are then

displayed as shown in the preceding illustration.

2 To scroll up or down through the menu parameter list, press the Up/Down switch. The

selected parameter is indicated by a dark bar.

3 To display the available modes for a highlighted parameter, press the <F2> switch. The

currently selected mode is indicated by an asterisk.

4 Press the Up/Down switch to highlight the desired mode. Then press the <F2> key to

select that mode.

5 To step back to the previous level or exit the menu mode, press the <F1> (Back) key.
