General Radio Operation
Backlight
If poor light conditions make the display, keypad, or channel numbers
(around the 16-Position Select knob) difficult to read, turn on the
radio’s backlights by pressing the preprogrammed Light button.
These lights will remain on for a preprogrammed time before they turn
off automatically, or you can turn them off immediately by pressing the
Light button again.
Status Symbols
The top two display rows contain symbols that indicate radio
operating conditions.
