| incremented by pressing and releasing the SYS |
| button. Alternately, when the display shows the |
| System name, the CHANNEL/SEL buttons may be |
| used to increment or decrement the system selec- |
| tions. (NOTE: The radio may be programmed with |
| wrap around on the system selection; this would |

| way through the list.) |

| used to increment or decrement the current channel |
| selection. It is also used as described above to |
| increment/decrement the System. In conventional |

| from the menu operation, monitor a conventional |
| channel or end a special/individual call. |

EMERGENCY | GENCY button is used to select a home system, |

| lected or home system. It may also be programmed |
| to send an emergency message (GESTAR) when |
| pressed and held for approximately one second |
| (either on the selected system or on the Home |
| system). |
