To avoid accidentally changing the radio setting, press and hold the
LOCK/CALL button for about 4 seconds. The LOCK icon will appear
on the display. The PTT and CALL function will still be active. Repeat
the same procedure to unlock the keypad.
DISPLAY ILLUMINATION
During Power on, the display illumination will activate for approx. 5
seconds. The display illumination can also be activated when the
MENU/SOS, SCAN, or MONITOR button is pressed. It can also be
activated if the TUNING knob is turned.

or when the Tuning knob is turned.
SETTING PRIVACY CODES
Your radio has 121 Privacy Codes available. The selected Privacy
Code may be different for each channel. To select a Privacy Code
for the current channel press the MENU/SOS button once, and then
turn the TUNING knob to select between oF/CTCSS/DCS. Then
press the MENU/SOS button. Turn the TUNING knob to select one of
the 38 CTCSS Privacy Codes or one of the 83 DCS Privacy Codes.
The Privacy Code icon on the display will indicate whether you set
your Privacy Code in CTCSS or DCS mode. To confirm the selection,
press the PTT button or press the MENU/SOS button again to move
to the next feature setting.
Note : If you select any CTCSS Privacy Code, any pre-selected
DCS Privacy Code will be cancelled and vice-versa.
Selecting a Privacy Code of "oF" will disable the Privacy
feature. To communicate between two XT511 Series
radios, all radios in your group must be set to the same
channel and Privacy Code selections.
