4.14 USER PROFILES
XL-series radios support User Profiles. A User Profile is a grouping of preset configurations that allow the
user to change radio operation based on the current activity/scenario. For example, the radio can be
programmed with profiles named Noisy, Fire, etc., and the radio user can switch profiles on the radio
depending on the environment they are entering. User Profile selection persists across system/group
changes and power cycles. Up to ten (10) profiles can be programmed to the radio. When you activate a
new personality, the selected Profile changes to None.
A "Covert" Profile is installed on the radio by default. This profile cannot be modified or deleted. The
following attributes apply when the Covert profile is active:
• The speaker is enabled.
• All tones are disabled.
• Keypad tones are disabled.
• The backlight is disabled.
• The indicator LED is disabled.
• All other attributes remain at their current value.
To change the currently selected Profile:
1. Press the Menu button to access the menu.
2. Navigate to the UTILITY menu.
3. Scroll up or down to highlight PROGRAM and press the Group/Channel Select Knob.
4. Navigate left or right until the PROFILES menu is displayed.
5. Select the desired Profile and press the Group/Channel Select Knob.
A profile change persists across system/channel changes and power cycles.
A button on the control head or KMM can be used to toggle profiles. See Section 6.4.
