SELECTING A CHANNEL
The radio’s Channel Selector knob is located on the top of the radio. It is item 5 on page 6. Rotate this knob
to select the desired channel within the zone. The name of the selected channel appears in the display.
This knob has 16 positions, for a total of 16 channels per zone. Some knob positions may not be programmed
with a channel.
The number of the newly selected channel will be announced from the radio’s speaker in a synthesized voice if
the radio’s Channel Notify feature is enabled. If desired, enable or disable this feature from the Channel Notify
menu by selecting: Menu > Settings > Radio Set > Tone > Channel Notify > Enable or Disable.
SWITCHING THE CHANNEL MODE BETWEEN ANALOG AND DIGITAL
Each channel can be pre-programmed as either an analog channel or a digital channel. If the currently selected
zone includes both analog and digital channels, the Channel Selector knob can be used to quickly switch
between analog and digital channels. Select the desired channel by rotating the knob to the respective position.
