AM/FM DIAL

In the AM and FM modes, the knob is locked out (via the setting of Menu #04) so

as to allow “channelized” tuning on these modes. To adjust the operating frequency, rotate

the

knob.

If you wish to enable the

knob for tuning in the AM and FM modes, change the set-

ting of Menu #04. See page 54 for details.

The “channelized” mode of tuning on AM and FM automatically rounds off the fre-

quency to the next “logical” step when you rotate the

knob one “click” in ei-

ther direction. This eliminates the inconvenience of having to preset the frequency

to an “even” channel.

Automatic Power-Off Feature

The APO feature helps conserve battery life by automatically turning the transceiver off

after a user-dened period of time within which there has been no dial or key activity. The

available selections for the time before power-off are 1 ~ 6 hours, as well as “APO Off”.

The default condition for the APO is OFF, and here is the procedure for activating it:

1. Press and hold the

key for one second to enter the Menu mode.

2. Rotate the

knob to recall Menu #08 (APO TIME).

3. Rotate the

knob to select the desired time period after which the radio will auto-

matically shut down.

4. Press and hold the

key for one second to save the new setting and exit to normal

operation.

Once you have programmed a time interval, the APO countdown timer will start whenever

some front panel action (tuning, transmission, etc.) is completed.

When the APO is activated, the “

” icon will appear at the center bottom on the LCD. If

there is no action by you within the time interval programmed, the microprocessor will shut

down the radio automatically.

Just press and hold in the

switch for one second to turn the transceiver back on after

an APO shutdown, as usual.
