Selecting a Zone and Channel

A zone is a grouping of channels. A channel is a group of radio characteristics such as transmit/receive frequency pairs. After you turn your radio on, select the desired zone and channel.

Zone Selection

1.Place the Zone Switch (if programmed, see page 2) to the desired position.

Notes

•If the selected zone is unprogrammed, you will hear a continuous, low-pitched tone (invalid-mode tone) until a valid programmed zone is selected. This does not mean your radio is unprogrammed, only that the zone you selected is unprogrammed.

•If you would like a different channel within the selected zone, see “Channel Selection” on this page.

2.To transmit on the selected zone/channel combination, press the PTT Switch.
