10.1.1 Buttons and Knobs
This section describes the primary function of the button and knob controls. Refer to Figure 10-1 and
Figure 10-2.
POWER ON-OFF
VOLUME KNOB
Applies power to and adjusts the receiver’
s volume. Rotating the control
clockwise applies power to the radio. A single alert tone (if enabled through
programming) indicates the radio is operational.
Rotating the control clockwise increases the volume level. Minimum volume
levels may be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls due to a low
volume setting. While adjusting the volume the display will momentarily
indicate the volume level (i.e. VOL=31). The volume range is from a minimum
programmed level of zero (displayed as OFF in the display) up to 40, which is
the loudest level.
VOICE GROUP
SELECTION
CONTROL KNOB
Selects systems or groups/channels (depending on programming). This is a 16-
position rotary knob.
Note: A mechanical stop, which can limit the positions accessed, is shipped with
the radio but must be installed. To install the mechanical stop, remove the Voice
Group Selection control knob, loosen the set screw on the Voice Group
Selection control knob metal base (using a 1.27 mm hex wrench), and remove
the Voice Group Selection control knob metal base. Replace the 16 channel ring
with the channel stop ring located at the desired channel. Reinstall the Voice
Group Selection control knob metal base, tighten the set screw, and reinstall the
Voice Group Selection control knob.
EMERGENCY/

holding for a programmed duration. It can also be used to declare an emergency

interconnect calls.
