3-4 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual March 2008
General Operation
3.4.1 Zone / Channel Display
The selected zone and channel numbers are displayed by the zone and channel displays
shown in the following illustration. In addition, the selected zone identification (alias) is
displayed in the alphanumeric display area when the zone select mode is enabled, and the
channel alias is displayed when the channel select mode is enabled (see following).
Channel alias can be a combination of zone and channel aliases. With conventional
channels, the channel frequency may be displayed instead of the alias if the Display
Information option switch is programmed (see Section 5.8).
A zone can include any mix of up to 16 channels, and up to 32 or 54 zones can be
programmed, depending on the option enabled. Therefore, up to 864 channels can be
selected. One use for zones may be for operation in different geographical areas.
3.4.2 Zone / Channel Select
The front panel Select switch is used to change the zone and channel. Pressing this switch
toggles between the zone and channel select modes, and rotating it changes the zone or
channel.
The current mode is indicated by the bar over the zone or channel display. For example,
when the bar is over the zone display (see following illustration), the zone select mode is
enabled.
Rotating the Select switch clockwise increases the zone or channel and rotating it
counterclockwise decreases the zone or channel number. After the highest zone or channel
is displayed, wrap-around to the lowest zone or channel occurs and vice versa. If an
unprogrammed channel is selected, “UNPROGRAMD” is displayed and a tone sounds.
The radio may also be programmed so that only programmed channels are selected.
The radio can be programmed so that the bar defaults to either the zone or channel display
when power is turned ON and after a change is made. The delay that occurs before it
returns is programmed for 1-255 seconds. It can also be programmed to remain in the last
selected mode.
