Features
Your radio can be customised for various advanced features and can have various soft keys
assigned to frequently used features.
Privacy Screen
Your radio can be customised to display a picture when the screen is inactive for a specified period of
time. This helps protect the privacy of any displayed information. This Privacy Screen feature is
particularly useful if you are wearing your radio at shoulder level. The normal display reappears as
soon as any activity occurs which turns on the back light.
Connector Protector
When working in salt water environments or in an area with high salt-laden humidity such as sea mist
or fog, enabling the Connector Protector feature will protect the Digital Accessory connector (sDAC)
from potential corrosive damage when an accessory is not attached.
A cover must be fitted to the Rugged Accessory Connector (RAC) (on the side of the radio) if an
accessory is not attached.
This feature can be enabled by:
a Soft key
selection of an option on a SmartMenu
selection of a user profile
automatically at power on after a configured time delay
selecting Connector Protection from the Options menu
To enable Connector Protector:
1. Press Menu then select Options > Settings > Connector Protector.
2. To toggle protection on/off press the Toggle context key. When the CP Enable check box is
ticked, Connector Protector is enabled, and when the check box is empty it is disabled.
If Connector Protector is enabled ( ) when the radio is powered off, it will remain enabled when
the radio is next powered on unless the radio is in a charger or car kit or if a data accessory (e.g.
programming lead) is attached when the radio is powered on, in which case Connection Protector is
disabled ( ) until the radio is removed from the charger, car kit or data accessory. In these
circumstances it is not necessary to re-enable Connector Protector.
If the ‘water drop’ icon ( ) is displayed on a radio, the radio cannot be programmed.
