Setting Up the Radio Display and Visual Indicators to
Suit Night Vision Goggles
During tactical nighttime operations of military entities
worldwide, the Night Vision Goggles (NVG) is used to
see in the dark. Your radio is 3rd generation NVG
compatible. When the radio is in NVG display mode,
the radio's front display and top display emit a very
low illumination backlight to allow the user to operate
the radio with the goggles on.
Caution: Remove your NVG if you operate
the radio in non-NVG compatible display
mode. Wearing the NVG to operate in non-
NVG compatible display mode might injure
your eyes.
Accessory connected to the radio that is in NVG
display mode such as Display Remote Speaker
Microphone (DRSM) has its backlight always in off
state.
Intelligent lighting indicators, TX LED and RX LED
are all disabled on both the radio and the connected
accessory when the radio is in NVG display mode.
Note: Get familiar with your radio NVG feature and
operation before you use it with your Night Vision
Goggles.
