3-2 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual October 2008
General Operation
• Last Zone/Home Channel
• Home Zone/Last Channel
• Home Zone/Home Channel
The Home Zone and Channel are pre programmed. With the “Last Zone”/“Home
Channel” configuration, the programmed home channel number of the last active zone is
selected. If this channel number is not programmed in the active zone, “UNPROGRAMD”
is displayed.
If the Radio ID feature is enabled, the radio will display the Radio ID alias in place of the
Self Test message during startup. Radio ID identifies the personality file used to program
the radio, the service area for which the radio is programmed, or functional grouping for
which the radio is programmed. The Radio ID alias display will be included with the
Radio Info display items in both button/scroll and menu modes. If disabled, the Radio ID
menu mode will display a blank line.
Note In dual control configurations (front mount radio with remote control unit), the power
switch at either control point can be OFF for power to turn OFF.
3.1.1 Standard and Soft Power Down
To turn power off, press the ON-OFF/Volume knob.
A soft feature can be programmed to prevent radio power from being turned off by
accidentally pressing the on-off/volume knob. If the user presses the ON-OFF/Volume
knob, “” will be displayed. The display message portion of the display stops updating. The
user is able to receive, transmit, and use function buttons, but the display message will not
change. If the channel is changed the Zone/Channel indication will update.
The user can power the radio completely down by pressing the option button programmed
for this purpose (F2 or F6).
If the user presses the ON/OFF/Volume knob while soft power down is in effect, the radio
returns to full power up operation.
3.1.2 Setting Volume Level
The relative volume setting can be determined using a reference tone as follows:
• If the key press tones are enabled (see Section 4.6), a short tone sounds when an option
switch is pressed or the Select switch is pressed or rotated.
• If a conventional channel is selected, take the microphone off-hook and if someone is
talking, voice may be heard. If the MON (Monitor) option switch is programmed (see
