8.3.2 General Information on the CH-721 Control Head
The CH-721 Scan and System model control heads feature a large easy-to-read 3-line graphical vacuum
fluorescent display, an on/off/volume control, menu controls and buttons, trunking mode buttons, an
emergency/home button, a scan on/off button, and three (3) preset buttons. Other front panel components
include a microphone connector and two LED-type indicators. One LED indicator is the busy indicator
that lights when the radio is receiving a call and one is the transmitter-enabled indicator that lights when
the radio is transmitting. All buttons are backlit for viewing in low-light conditions.
As illustrated in Figure 8-5, the CH-721 Scan model control head features three (3) large menu selection
buttons. The System model control head, shown in Figure 8-6, has a 12-key keypad to allow advanced
operations without the need of a DTMF-capable microphone.
