About the keypad microphone
Your radio may have a keypad microphone installed. The
keypad microphone has a PTT key as well as twelve alphanu-
meric keys, two scroll keys, and left and right selection keys.
The PTT key and the scroll and selection keys work in the same
way as those on the control head (see “About the radio
controls” on page 15).
Using the keypad microphone to enter text
When the keypad microphone is used to enter a text
message, the microphone keys have special functions. Use
the key to toggle between upper and lower case char-
acters and use the left selection key to delete a charac-
ter from the display.
The alphanumeric keys to are used to enter
letters, numbers and punctuation. Repeated presses of these
keys will give you the characters shown in the table below.
