Understanding the radio display
The messages and symbols you see on your radio display
depend on the mode in which your radio is operating and the
way it is programmed.The following diagram shows a typical
display and explains some of the information that may
be available.
Operating modes
Your radio has a number of operating modes, such as CHAN
(channel), MENU (menu), and CONT (contrast). The active
mode appears in the upper left-hand corner of the display.
The lower left-hand corner gives additional information on
the current status of the radio. In this example,
RTA indicates
the radio is in repeater talkaround mode.
Current operation
The panel on the right-hand side shows data for the current
radio operation. In this example,
CHAN9 indicates what
channel the radio is currently operating on. When you enter
data for a specific function, such as dialling a call, the
information appears in this panel.
Radio display symbols
The bottom line of the display shows a series of symbols that
give additional information on the state of the radios. The
following table shows some of symbols you may see on
your display.
