2-8 Viking Portable 600 Radio Operating Manual
Controls and Display
The top display, by default, faces toward the back of the radio. This allows the users to
view the top display when attached to a belt. However, the top display can be programmed
to face towards the front of the radio.
2.4.1 Portable Icons
The layout of the front panel display is shown Figure 2.4. Icons are typically shown in the
upper part of the display and text messages in the lower part.
LED displays may be disabled by programming. If so programmed, the radio’s LED will
not light for transmit/receive/error code conditions. During transmit, the Transmit icon
will be displayed to provide some indication to the user that the radio is transmitting.
