2-3.6 Selection from List of Predetermined Values
When the parameter you want to change can assume only one of several predetermined values, you
select the desired value by pressing function keys:
• F1 enters the lowest possible value, or OFF
• F4 enters the highest possible value
• F2 and F3 increments, respectively, decrements, the value. When you reach either end, the
corresponding key disappears.
You cannot use the keypad to enter a value for such parameters.
2-3.7 Toggle Mode
When the function being set can only be toggled on or off, one function key will be marked YES and
another NO.
To expedite turning on and off often-used functions (for example, turn the squelch on or off) only one
key is used. In this case, just press the key assigned to the function to be toggled: the new state is
shown for a few seconds, and then disappears as it takes effect immediately.
2-3.8 Alphanumeric Edit Mode
When you need to enter an alphanumeric string in a field, or edit a string, you select each desired
alphanumeric character on the keypad as explained above. A blinking cursor _ indicates the location
being edited.
In addition, the following edit function keys are available:
SAVE
Saves editing changes (equivalent to pressing the ENTER key).
< − −
< − −< − −
< − −
− − >
− − >− − >
− − >
Used to move the cursor backwards and forwards. When you reach either end, the
corresponding key disappears.
CLR
Pressing this key momentarily erases the digit/letter at which the cursor is presently
located, and shifts the entire field one place to the left.
Pressing this key continuously clears the entire field.
2-3.9 Numeric Edit Mode
When you need to enter a number in a field, or edit the number, you type the desired digits on the
keypad. A blinking cursor _ indicates the location being edited.
In addition, the following edit function keys are available:
BACK
Erases the last digit.
CLR
Erases all newly entered digits and restores the original value.
2-3.9.1 View Mode
When the string to be displayed is longer than the number of characters that fit in one line (for
instance, with long addresses or messages), the view mode enables scrolling to the rest of the string.
The view mode is indicated by the symbol <
<<
< −
−−
− >
>>
> next to one of the function keys.
When you press < − >
< − >< − >
< − >, the key functions change:
HOME
Scrolls to display the first character of the string.
< − −
< − −< − −
< − −
−
−−
− −
− −
− >
> >
>
Scroll one character to the left or right, respectively. If you press either key
continuously, the scrolling continues at a rate of four characters per second.
END
Scrolls to display the last character of the string.
When you reach the beginning of the string, the HOME and < − −
< − −< − −
< − − function keys disappear, whereas
when you reach the end of the string, the − − >
− − >− − >
− − > and END function keys disappear.
