The LCD comprises of four (4) lines each of which is capable of displaying twenty-one (21) characters. The first

third line displays the selected channel number (up to four characters) in the first five left hand character spaces,
and displays the channel name (up to eight characters) in the next eight character spaces.
Any combination of the following characters may be used in the channel name:
0-9, A-Z, a-z, / + - * # ! $ % ( ) = [ ] < > ? and space
This area of the LCD is left blank when channel names are not used.

The tone encode status.

On the left hand side of the fourth line, the type of tone signaling system selected by the user is displayed. For
example, "5TON" indicates 5 Tone signaling while “DTMF” indicates Dual Tone Multi Frequency signaling.
The right hand side of the fourth line is used to display data that the user enters (for example, 5 Tone calling
sequences). These character spaces are also used by the Base Tech II Base Repeater to display messages
and information directed to the user.
