The function of the knobs for the unselected bands is always the volume control mode. The starting mode
(when the band is selected) of the knob can be programmed in the configuration menu to be VOLUME or
CHAN.
2.5 SOFT KEYS AND HOME
The transceiver has three
soft keys which assume the function shown above them on the display. The
functions displayed depend on how the module was programmed with the radio service software (CPS)™.
Functions can be different on a channel by channel basis as well. These may include:
ZONE - Pressing this function will prompt you for a new zone number which can be entered directly or
scrolled using the UP and DN keys.
MUTE - Selecting this function will prompt you for an on or off entry using the soft keys to mute the
tones. Tones refer to the beeps heard when pressing buttons.
VIEW - The view function is used to view lists. Lists can include phone numbers, call lists and or page.
PWR - Selecting PWR will allow the power output of the radio to be set to high or low.
PROG - Selecting PROG allows brings you to user programmable features of the radio such as
telephone numbers. The ability for the user to program phone numbers, etc can be enabled or
disabled by the CPS™.
FPP – Front Panel Programming mode. Allows you to program channels at the front panel without the
customer programming software. This option usually on VHF band 2 (V2) in the TDFM-636
only.
At any time while in one of these functions, you can escape back to the normal mode by pressing the HOME
key. When programming the modules with the CPS™, it is suggested not to double up functions. For example,
programming a soft key to CHAN would be redundant since there is already a channel function using the
knobs. Using the CHAN soft key would also not update the channel number on the display, causing some
confusion.
2.6 FUNCTION KEYS
Four function keys at the top of the keypad provide the same actions as the three side buttons and the top
button found on the XTS-3000 or XTS-5000 portable. They are as follows:
F1 - Top side button (purple button) on the portable.
F2 - Center side button (with one dot) on the portable.
F3 - Bottom side button (with two dots) on the portable.
F4 - Top button (orange button) on the portable.
