Display

The MTX Series radio has a 14-character, one-line liquid-crystal display (LCD), which displays either alphanumeric messages or feature-selection information. Above the character display are status annunciators that indicate some of the radio’s operating conditions.

Display Light

If poor light conditions make the display difficult to read, turn on the radio’s display light by pressing the light button (typically side button 1). The light will remain on for a preprogrammed time period before it turns off automatically, or you can turn it off immediately by pressing the light button again (the light can be turned off only if the radio is not in a feature menu). If, while the light is on, any key or button is pressed (except for the PTT switch), any knob is turned, or any toggle switch is moved, the light will remain on for an additional time period.

Status Annunciators

The status annunciators indicate the status of certain radio functions:

•Battery Status () – Flashes when the battery is low.

•Carrier Squelch ( ) – Indicates the type of receive squelch in effect for the active conventional mode; ON = CARRIER SQUELCH; OFF = CODED SQUELCH.

•Call Received ( ) – Flashes when a call, page, or phone call is received.

•Scan ( ) – Indicates when the radio is scanning; ON = SCANNING; OFF =

NOT SCANNING.

•Programming Mode ( ) – Indicates when the radio is in the programming mode; ON = IN PROGRAMMING MODE; OFF = NOT IN PROGRAMMING MODE.

•Direct ( ) – Indicates whether you are talking directly to another radio (talkaround), or through a repeater; ON = DIRECT; OFF = REPEATER.
