3.3.11 Stealth Mode
The radio’s display illumination and button backlighting can be completely
turned off using stealth mode. Turn stealth mode on and off as follows:
1. Use the ▲ and ▼ buttons to cycle through the menu until “StealthMenu”
appears.
2. To immediately turn stealth mode on, press either the ◄ button or the ►
button once.
3. To turn stealth mode off, press any button on the radio’s front panel.
When stealth mode is on, the radio continues to scan the programmed list of
talk groups and the user can key-up on the selected talk group.
NOTE
With stealth mode on, pressing any radio button other than
the mic’s PTT button or the emergency button on front
panel will immediately turn stealth mode off. For
example, pressing the ▼ button on the front panel will
turn stealth mode off.
3.3.12 Checking or Changing the Active Profile
The radio can store up to sixteen (16) standard profiles within its personality,
one of which is always set as the currently active profile. Each profile can
contain up to sixteen (16) talk groups. Each profile is typically configured to
contain those talk groups specific to certain communication activities, such as
police patrol.
If the dwell display is set to “profile,” the currently active profile’s name
appears in the bottom line of the display. Otherwise, to determine which
profile is currently active, use the menu buttons to access the Profile Menu.
The active profile’s name will appear in the top line of the display. To switch
to/activate a different profile:
1. Press the c or d button until “ProfileMenu” appears in the bottom line
of the display. The name of the currently active profile appears in the top
line. For example, “TacNet” as shown in Figure 3-8.
2. Press the ◄ or ► buttons to choose the desired profile stored in the radio
as established by the OpenSky network administrator.
3. Press the Select button to activate the newly chosen profile. After a short
time (a few seconds), the newly chosen profile activates and the dwell
display re-appears.
