October 2008 5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual 3-3
General Operation
Section 5.3 on page 25), pressing it unsquelches the radio and either voice or
background noise is heard. If a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel is
selected, the radio cannot be manually unsquelched.
The minimum volume level that the volume control can select can be programmed. This
can be used to prevent missed messages caused by unintentionally turning the volume
down too far. Relative levels of 0-255 can be set in steps of 1 (“0” sets the lowest
minimum volume).
Note This setting is applicable to ES mobiles with ES Series Remote Control Heads. The
minimum volume setting has no effect on the volume of a pre-ES Series model remote
control head using an internal speaker whether it is attached to a pre-ES Series or an ES
Series mobile radio.
3.2 Power-Up Password
The power-up password feature prevents unauthorized use of the radio by requiring that an
eight-digit password be entered to make it operational. This feature is enabled or disabled
by programming.
When it is enabled, “ENTER PSWD” is briefly displayed when power is turned on, the
eight-digit numeric password must be entered by pressing and rotating the Select switch.
A single beep sounds when the switch is pressed (if that option is enabled). If an incorrect
password is entered, “INCORRECT” is displayed and it must be re-entered.
An enhanced password scheme allows up to four power-on (user) passwords, download
and upload passwords, and a master password to be programmed.
The current User password can be changed if the “PW CHG” option switch is
programmed. Selecting this function displays prompts for entering and confirming a new
password. Refer to Section 9 for more information on passwords.
3.3 Backlight Control and Display Viewing Angle Adjust
If the BKLHT option switch is programmed, it can be used to select high, medium, or OFF
backlight modes. Otherwise, the keypad and display backlight is fixed in one of these
modes by programming. The backlight is totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is
programmed (see Section 4.10).
