ADVANCED OPERATION

Programmable Function Buttons

The RM Series mobile radio includes eight Programmable Function (PF) Buttons (long press

and short press). The PF button functions can be customized, via programming by your

dealer to meet your communication requirements. Some features may require the purchase

and installation of optional internal accessories. The possible PF button programming

features are illustrated below, and these functions are explained on pages to follow.

For future options and accessories, contact your dealer. For future reference, check the

box next to the function that has been assigned to each PF button on your particular

radio, and keep it handy.

MONITOR

Press the assigned PF button to un-squelch the audio. The BUSY/TX indicator will be green.

SCAN 1- 4

The Scanning feature is used to monitor multiple channels programmed into the

transceiver. While scanning, the transceiver will check each channel for the presence of a

signal and stop on a channel if a signal is present.

Press the assigned PF button to active scanning.

Press the assigned PF button again to disable scanning. Operation will revert to the

channel before scan was activated.

Note: Your dealer can program your radio to revert on one of following channels if you

press the PTT switch during scanning pause:

• Scan List Top channel

• Priority channel 1

• Priority channel 2

SCAN Skip

Press the assigned PF button to delete the current paused channel while scanning.

POWER

Press the assigned PF button to set the radio's transmitter to the "Low Power" mode.

Press this button again to return to "High Power" operation.

Talk Around

The Talk Around feature allows you to bypass the repeater station and talk directly to a

station that is nearby. When TA is on, the radio transmits on the receive frequency of the

selected channel or receive on the transmit frequency of the selected channel. Press the

assigned PF button to activate the Talk Around feature when you are operating on a duplex

channel system (separate receive and transmit frequencies that utilizes a "repeater" station).

CALL 1-4

Press the assigned PF button to send your radio's identification code (ANI) to the

dispatcher (requires the Optional DTMF pager UNIT).
