BLANKING A BAND DISPLAY

If you have no plans to use band A or B, quit frequency display on the unused band. This saves power consumption and makes it simpler to read the information you need.

Press the left [BAND SEL] (1 s) to blank band B, or the right [BAND SEL] (1 s) to blank band A.

To restore Dual-band mode, press the same [BAND SEL] (1 s).

Note: You cannot operate the blanked band nor use this band to receive or transmit.

AUTOMATIC BAND CHANGE (A.B.C.)

A.B.C. will temporarily switch the RX only band to the TX band immediately after a signal is received on the RX only band. This function allows you to reply to a caller without manually selecting the correct band.

Press [F], [A.B.C] to switch the function ON (or OFF).

• “A.B.C.” appears when the function is ON.

•Pressing [BAND SEL] or Mic [PTT] also cancels A.B.C.

•The original TX band is restored 2 seconds after signals drop out.

Note:

◆You cannot use A.B.C. when in Single-band mode. After activating A.B.C., changing from Dual-band mode to Single-band mode switches OFF the A.B.C.

◆After activating A.B.C., starting Visual Scan deactivates A.B.C. Canceling Visual Scan reactivates A.B.C.
