GENERAL OPERATION
Turning Power On
Power is turned on and off by the top panel On-
Off/Volume switch. When power is initially turned on,
the transceiver goes through a self test routine in
which the following information is displayed:
• Currently selected zone
• Individual ID of the radio if a conventional P25
channel is selected
• Unit ID of the radio if a SMARTNET/SmartZone
channel is selected
• Selected channel alias (last)
Programming determines if the transceiver
powers up on the last selected zone or the pre-
programmed home zone. The last selected channel of
the displayed zone is always selected on power up.
Setting Volume
The relative volume level can be determined by
the position of the index on the volume knob or a
reference tone as follows. The minimum volume level
may be set by programming. This can prevent missed
messages resulting from inadvertently turning the
volume to an inaudible level.
• If a key press tone is enabled, a short tone sounds
when a key is pressed.
• If a conventional channel is selected and the
Monitor option key or menu parameter is
programmed, pressing that key unsquelches the
receiver and either voice or background noise is
heard (see page 16). If a SMARTNET/SmartZone
channel is selected, the receiver cannot be manually
unsquelched.
