2.15 CONFIGURATION MENU
Some features of the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the
configuration menu, turn the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW and TSW keys. Hold the
keys until the display reads ‘Configuration Menu’. The configurable items are:
Knob default - Rotating the left most knob will toggle the condition between volume and channel.
Which ever condition is chosen will be the state of the knob after the radio is
switched on or another band is selected. Press the left knob to continue.
Vol/Chan mode - Rotating the knob will toggle between Both and Single. If both is selected, the
knob will start off in the default condition selected above but the other mode
will still be available. If single is selected, only the default mode will be available.
If volume is set default and vol/chan mode is single, the channels can still be
scrolled using the MUP and MDN buttons on the key board.
Press the left knob to continue.
Dimmer mode - Used to control the display brightness with the knob. The dimmer function can be
either enabled or disabled. If disabled, the BRT and DIM buttons on the key board
will still perform the dimmer function.
Numlock mode - The numlock mode can be enabled or disabled. Numlock mode is used if you have
programmed a feature into one of the RF modules which requires access to number
keys while in normal operating mode.
Recall mode - Recall mode can also be enabled or disabled. Recall mode can be useful when there
are many channels programmed such that scrolling through them would be too time
consuming.
Band 1 channels - Rotating the left knob will scroll the numbers up or down through 001 to
255. Set this number to the highest channel number that is programmed into
band one.
Band 2 channels - Same as above for band 2.
Band 3 channels - Same as above for band 3. (if installed)
Auto Reset - Can be enabled or disabled. This should normally be set to enabled. This feature
automatically reboots an RF module if a problem is encountered. If however a
module fails, this feature should be disabled so the radio will stop trying to revive
the failed module.
Boot Speed - Can be set to normal or quick. If quick is selected, some of the boot up messages
will be skipped reducing the boot up time.
Press the left knob to accept the setting. The radio will then power up normally. The radio will keep these
settings until they are changed again by the configuration menu.
