Part No. 001-9800-203
4.6.3 DEFINE OPTION BUTTONS
The Define Option Buttons screen shown in
Figure 4-4 programs the option buttons on the front
panel of the transceiver. With low tier models, the
AUX1 and AUX2 buttons are programmable, and with
high tier models, all five buttons are programmable.
Any button can also be disabled if desired.
The arrow keys select the button to be
programmed and the Return key is pressed to move to
the box on the right which lists the available choices
for that button. Use the arrow keys to move the high-
light block to the desired choice and select that choice
by pressing the Return key. To exit a key without
making any changes, press Escape. Refer to Section
3.5.1 for more information on the auxiliary switches.
4.6.4 SETUP MENU FUNCTIONS
The Setup Menu screen shown in Figure 4-5 is
used to select which menu items can be selected by the
user in the menu mode (available with high tier only).
In addition, with all models, it is used to set the default
condition of parameters not controlled by the menu
mode or an option switch. If a function is programmed
for an option switch, it cannot be programmed as a
menu item and vice versa.
If an item is programmed as not selectable
(Include = No) or is not available (Include = N/A), it is
fixed in the condition displayed in the Default column.
For example, if Tones = No or N/A and Default = All
Tone, the TONES menu parameter is not selectable (if
applicable) and all tones always sound.
If a menu item is selectable by the menu mode or
an option switch, the default condition exists only until
that function is changed (or changes automatically as
can occur with the horn alert). The last selected and
not the default condition is selected when power is
turned on. Use the arrow keys and spacebar to select
the desired parameter in each column. Refer to Section
3.6 for more Menu Mode information.
4.6.5 CREATE/EDIT/COPY/DELETE SYSTEM
NOTE: At least one bank must always be programmed
even if bank select is not used or not available. All
systems to be selected must then be linked to a bank as
described later in this section.
Programming System/Groups With Low Tier Models
With the low-tier models, up to 16 system/group
combinations can be programmed. These 16 combina-
tions are then assigned to display channel numbers by
the Channel Display table (see Figure 4-6). This table
is selected by pressing F7 in the Create/Edit Bank
screen (see Section 4.6.6). All programmed systems
and groups should be assigned to a display number in
this table. If some systems are not assigned, be sure
they are not linked to a bank. Likewise, if some groups
in an assigned system are unassigned, they must be
programmed “ASN = No”.
Create System
The Create System functions are used to create
new LTR or conventional systems. Up to sixteen
systems can be created with low tier models, and up to
100 systems can be created with high tier models (see
Section 1.2.3).
The alpha tag for the new system is entered (up to
eight characters) and then the Create/Edit System
screen is displayed. With low tier models, the system
alpha tag is used for programming only, and is not
displayed by the transceiver. With high tier models, it
is displayed if the alpha tag display mode is selected
(see Section 3.4.4).
Edit System
The Edit System function is used to program the
current system parameters. The system to be edited is
selected from a list of the current systems that is
displayed. The arrow and Return keys are used to
select the desired system. “L” indicates an LTR
system, and “C” indicates a conventional system. The
LTR and conventional screens and parameter descrip-
tions are shown in the following tables:
LTR Systems and Groups - Table 4-3
Conventional Systems and Groups - Table 4-4
NOTE: The channel numbers entered in the LTR and
conventional screens are from the channel table that is
programmed by pressing F6 in the Main Radio
Parameters screen. FCC channel numbers are not
used. Refer to Section 4.7.2 for more information.
