when
the serial
number is
accessed via
a
message memory,
it increments
before
transmitting. i.e.,
if
you preset
to
0000,
the first number sent
via the
message
memory
will
be 1 (OOOX).
If
you
have a
problem
during
the
contest with the numbers
getting
out of
line,
you
can increment the
serial
by
typing
CTRL—l
or decrement
by typing
CTRL-D.
If the
serial number
gets
too far out of
line,
use the
preset
to
get
back on track. Note
that
the
decrement command takes
a
finite
part
of a second to
finish,
the OVERFLUU
lamp
will
iight
during
the decrement as a reminder.
SETTING THE TIME:
If
you
have the real-time clock
option, you
will want to set the time
after
you
have
turned on
the
unit. (The clock
only
runs when the unit
is
powered,
either
by
ac or 12 Vdc. Because this clock is not as
stable as a normal
timepiece,
it
may gain
or lose
time even if
left
powered.
To set the
clock, type
CTRL—7 and
type
in the time in 24 hour format
i.e. 7:00 PM is 19:00.
Type
the first three numbers
starting
with
the most
significant
("1” in the case of
17:00,
"O" in the case of
06:15,
etc.)
Type
the fourth number at the 0 seconds time and the
clock will
be
exactly
set. This means
you
will
normally
wait for the
next minute to come
up
before
hitting
the last
number,
Vou must
always
type
four numbers and the
preset
terminates
automatically
on the last
number.
To send the time over the
air, type
SHIFT/At(white ’'A"). You
may prefix
and suffix
a
space
as if it were a
single
letter
in the
text,
or a
more
elegant way
is
to imbed it in a
message
memory
with
the
PST,EDT,EHT
or
what have
you plus
the date. (TIME
HR
IS
12:45 PST
-
12/24/80)
You embed
the time
during
the
message
load
by simply typing
SHIFT/A! (white
“A").
USING THE FIXED

There are
four fixed
messages
in the KB-4900 which are

with
message memory

that

"A" must be CALL

for
brevity.
