Selecting a zone
A zone is a collection of channels. Zones are a way of 
grouping channels, for example, by public safety agency 
type (fire, police, ambulance, etc.) or by geographical 
region (Dallas, Houston, etc.).
To select a zone:
1 Press Menu and select Zones.
2 Scroll to the zone you want.
3  Press Select.
Your radio may indicate the zone in which it is 
currently operating in the following ways:
■ the name of the zone appears below the channel 
name in the default radio display, or
■ the zone symbol appears as a letter in the top 
right corner of the display.
Other ways of selecting a zone
You may also be able to use the following controls to 
select a zone:
■ left selection key (see “Using the left selection key 
Quick Access menu” on page 31), or
■ scroll keys (see “Using the scroll key Quick Access 
menu” on page 31).
