General Operation
If the display is difficult to read from the angle you normally view it, the viewing angle
can be adjusted as follows: Press and hold F2 and F6 to enter angle change mode. If you
do not rotate the select switch for three seconds, it times out and goes back to zone or
channel change.
Note If the display appears blank or all icons are continuously displayed, the viewing angle is
probably improperly adjusted.
3.4 Zone / Channel Display and Select
Zone / Channel Display and Select operate as follows:
3.4.1 Zone / Channel Display
The selected zone and channel numbers are displayed by the zone and channel displays
shown in the following illustration. In addition, the selected zone identification (alias) is
displayed in the alphanumeric display area when the zone select mode is enabled, and the
channel alias is displayed when the channel select mode is enabled (see following).
Channel alias can be a combination of zone and channel aliases. With conventional
channels, the channel frequency may be displayed instead of the alias if the Display
Information option switch is programmed (see Section 5.8).
A zone can include any mix of up to 16 channels, and up to 32 or 54 zones can be
programmed, depending on the option enabled. Therefore, up to 864 channels can be
selected. One use for zones may be for operation in different geographical areas.
