32 Alphanumeric Entry Mode
Alphanumeric Entry Mode
Alphanumeric entry mode allows you to select and
execute up to 20 programmed command sequences
called alpha symbols. An alpha symbol can:
■ change to a specific channel or scan group,
■ dial a 5-tone or DTMF call,
■ change the radio’s status, or
■ any combination of these tasks.
Note: Programmed alphanumeric entries
are required before this option is available.
Selecting an Alpha Symbol
1. Press the alphanumeric key ( ) to enter
alphanumeric entry mode. The scrolling
available indicator (

head display, along with the last alpha symbol

2. Use the up and down scroll keys ( / )
to move through the list of alpha symbols until
the required label is displayed, or
enter the alpha symbol label using the keypad. A
star appears in the display as you type each char-
acter, until you have entered enough characters
for the radio to recognize the label. The radio
then displays the label in full.
3. Press the enter key (
)
to execute the
associated sequence of commands.
4. Press the channel key ( ), and the display
