Operator's Manual

GENERAL OPERATION
22
zones can be programmed for a total of 16 x 16 channels per zone or 256
channels. One use of zones may be to select groups of channels
programmed for operation in different geographical areas or radio
systems. If selectable zones have been programmed in your radio, consult
your system operator for more information on how they are used. Zones
are selected as follows:
1. Press the Zone option switch and the alias (name) of the current zone is
flashed in the display.
2. Use the number keys to enter the desired zone number or scroll through
the available zones using the Up/Down select switch.
3. When the desired zone is displayed or entered, select it by pressing the
F4 key or waiting 4 seconds.
Home Zone
The radio can be programmed with a home zone. Then when power
is turned on, the radio can be programmed so that either the home or last
selected zone is automatically selected.
If the Home Zone option switch is programmed, it can be used to
quickly select or change the home zone. To select the home zone, simply
press this switch. To change the home zone to the currently selected zone,
press and hold this switch until a tone sounds (approximately 1 second).
Time-Out Timer
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed for longer
than the programmed time. It can be programmed on each channel for
times of 15 - 225 seconds or it can be disabled (not used). If the trans-
mitter is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time, the
transmitter is disabled and an invalid condition tone sounds. Five seconds
before time-out occurs, an alert tone sounds to indicate that time-out is
approaching. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the PTT switch.
