Number Keys — each key has a single-digit label, and keys 1-6 have a range of numbers printed above them. The single digits refer to the number of a channel or frequency entered. The number range (21-30, for example) show the channels that make up a memory bank. In addi- tion, the keypad has different functions in manual mode, scan mode, and program mode. See “Banks and Memories.”
