8.8 TURNING ON THE RADIO
1. Power ON the radio by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise. A short alert
signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use.
2. The display shows the last selected system and group or a default system and group (depending on
programming).
3. Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level.
4. Select the desired system and group. The display indicates the current system and group names.
5. The radio is now ready to transmit and receive calls.
In the trunked environment, CC SCAN will be displayed if communication with the
system's control channel cannot be established. This may occur if, for example, the
radio is out of range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another
location or select another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for
trunked mode operations. CC SCAN is displayed on the group line until a control
channel is accessed.
8.9 SYSTEM SELECTION
METHOD 1: From the control knob: If system selection is programmed to the Voice
Group Selection control knob, select a system by turning the knob to the
desired system number position (1-16). The display registers the new
system name on line one. The
button can be programmed to provide
access to a “2
nd
bank” of 16 system number positions (17-32).
