2 MAIN FUNCTIONS
2.1 General notes
Although it has many advanced features, the RS86/RS87 has
been designed to be as simple and intuitive to operate as possible.
The SHIFT key is used to access the secondary functions printed
above each key – press and release SHIFT, then press the appro-
priate key. These secondary functions are shown in this manual
in brackets, e.g. (G
ROUP).
Note The SHIFT key will automatically time out of Shift mode after 2
seconds if another key is not pressed.
At any time, pressing O
N/C will cancel the current operation.
The lowest occupied port is the master controller – any opera-
tions initiated on this handset will therefore override all other
stations.
Note In order for other users to be able to operate the radio, it is
imperative that the handset is replaced in the cradle after use.
2.2 Switching on & Second Country mode
To turn the radio on, press the ON/C key. The display will show
the handset software issue number for 2 seconds, then the sta-
tion number and software issue number for the transceiver unit
for 2 seconds.
As a default, the radio switches on tuned to the priority channel
(normally 16). If Last used channel mode has been set (see sec-
tion 3.3.3), the radio will switch on tuned to the previously used
channel. The radio also stores the previous volume and squelch
settings and will use these on start-up.
In countries where it is permitted, the RS86/RS87 can operate
on a secondary set of channels, such as the USA channels.
To select the secondary channel table, press S
HIFT followed by
OK. The display will show the channel set selected for 2 seconds
before reverting to the default display.
Note Channels available will depend on programming. Please enquire
with your national licensing authority for details of permitted
channel sets in your own country (cf. sections 2.3.1 and 8.4).
