ordered. Your radio has one of the following control heads:

to the W4.
The W4 has rotary Mode and Volume knobs and a limited set of
control buttons, eight-digit display, and no 12-button keypad.
W5 Control Head
Keep the foldout in the front of this guide (page i) open as a reference
to the W5.
The W5 features a limited set of control buttons, eight-digit display,
and no 12-button keypad.
W7 Control Head

reference to the W7.
The W7 has the same keys and display as the W5 control head, plus
a 12-button keypad.
W9 Control Head
Keep the foldout in the back of this guide (page 105) open as a
