GENERAL OPERATION

Turning Power On

When power is turned on by pressing the On-Off/Volume knob, the

multi-function indicator flashes green, a series of beeps sound, and an

initial greeting and operating mode are indicated by the alphanumeric

display. The zone and channel displays then indicate the currently

selected zone and channel. Programming determines if the last selected or

home zone is selected at power up.

Backlight Control and Display Viewing Angle Adjust

The backlight for the display and option keys can be manually

turned on and off if the

BKLHT option switch is programmed. Otherwise,

it is fixed in the on or off mode by programming.

If the display is difficult to read from the angle you normally view it,

the viewing angle can be adjusted. Simply press and hold the last option

switch above the display and then press the first option switch above the

display. Then release both switches and turn the Select switch until the

best contrast is obtained. This function times out in 3-5 seconds.

Setting Volume Level

The relative volume setting can be determined by noting the position

of the index on the On-Off/Volume knob. Otherwise, enable a reference

tone for use in setting the volume as follows:

• If the key press tones are enabled (see page 20), a short tone sounds

when an option switch is pressed or the Select switch is pressed or

rotated.

• If a conventional channel is selected, take the microphone off-hook and

if someone is talking, voice is heard. If the

MON (Monitor) option

switch is programmed (see page 29), pressing it unsquelches the trans-

ceiver and either voice or background noise is heard. If a SMARTNET/

SmartZone channel is selected, the transceiver cannot be manually

unsquelched.
