Menu item ... and its purpose
CHAN
Channel mode: the radio uses a set of preset parameters. Up to 200 sets of
parameters can be defined and stored in the Micom-Z, where each set is assigned a
channel number (1 to 200). You can use Figure 2-2 to find details on the
selections available on the CHAN menu.
FREQ
Frequency mode: you can select manually the frequency (free tune mode) and the
other parameters to be used. You can use Figure 2-3 to find details on the
selections available on the FREQ menu.
ALE
ALE mode: when you want to call other radio, the radio automatically sets up a
link on the best free frequency that can be found. You can also call specific radio
sets, a group of radio, or broadcast to all the radio sets. The sets of parameters
needed for this operation mode are stored under net numbers (1 to 20), the radio
sets are identified by addresses stored by the radio in a directory supporting up to
100 addresses.
SCAN
SCAN mode: when neither the ALE, nor the CCIR mode, is used, you can define
a set of channels to be scanned before starting a call. The scan parameters are
always loaded by the MRC together with the other operational parameters, and
cannot be changed using the Micom-Z panel.
CCIR
CCIR mode: mode that supports functions similar to ALE, except that it uses a
different addressing scheme.
BIT
BIT mode: lets you check that the Micom-Z is OK.
LOCK
Lock the radio to prevent unauthorized use. To lock and unlock, you enter a
password.
PROG
Programming mode: lets you program (select and store) the required parameters.
Refer to Chapter 4 for details on the selections available on the PROG menu.
PSW
Used to change the password.
DIM
Used to adjust LCD lighting.
2-4.3 Notational Convention
In this manual, the following convention is used to simplify the description of the steps you need to
carry out actions using the keys and the LCD:
When a procedure begins with a sequence of steps, that sequence is represented in an
abbreviated format, with the > symbol indicating the next key to be pressed.
For instance, the following represents a sequence of steps that involves five key
pressings: MENU > MORE > PROG > RAD > CHAN.
