Finally, the receiver reverts back to the power-on default display.
F2
In the Suretrack receiver, this key has no assigned function.
F3
This key toggles the display backlight on and off. Turning the backlight off will conserve battery
power and extend the operating life before recharge by about 30%.
HELP
This key is used to obtain abbreviated descriptions of shifted key functions. Once HELP has
been activated you may then press any key to get information about its shifted function and
appropriate entry formats for data. Since help is provided for the SET
∆ function (shifted ESC),
the SHIFT key, rather than ESC, is used to exit the help mode.
SCAN
This key is used to scan through the frequencies entered in the F TABLE of the currently active
partition. When pressed, a display similar to the following appears:
Scanning partition 0
This indicates that the receiver is entering the scan mode using the frequency table partition
number 0. Shortly, the display changes to:
148.500MHz
G→
The frequency shown is the channel currently being monitored. The "" is the position of the
signal strobe that will be discussed shortly. The "G", like in manual mode, indicates that the gain
can be incrementally changed up and down using the arrow keys. The "→" indicates the
scanning direction through the frequency table. To the right of the arrow, a "^" character appears
after the shift key is pressed and before the shifted function key is pressed to indicate whether
the primary or shifted function will be accessed when the next key is pressed. These four
characters are referred to as display status characters. The strobe position is the signal status, the
"G" is the delta status, the "→" is the scan status and the "^" is the shift status.
