Introduction
Through field programming, the control head allows you to program
your own mode names. The names you assign are clearly shown in
the alphanumeric display. At a glance, you can see all the key
operating information, including the mode selected or being scanned,
and the on/off status of various features. The operating conditions are
shown either by the display or by indicators.
Status Display
The control head display indicates your selected mode, or the
currently active receive mode when scan is on. You can turn the
various radio features on or off, change modes, and adjust volume.
To exit a feature, such as phone, press the HOME button or the
feature button (for example, Phon).
