Selecting the Zone or Mode (Channel)
A channel is a group of radio characteristics such as transmit/receive
frequency pairs stored in your radio. A zone is a grouping of
channels. A mode is a combination of zones and channels. Your radio
is programmed by your system manager to have channels and zones
that you need in order to perform your day-to-day operations. When
your radio powers up, it defaults to the last selected zone and channel
before it was powered off previously. At times, you may need to select
a different zone or channel to transmit or receive on, as follows:
1 Press the D

mode.

or softkeys to scroll through the zones.

the keypad on the keypad mic.

on the displayed zone.
