FEATURES

Digital KeyPad

Use the digital keypad for direct input of a desired frequency. With digital tuning, you can preset up to ten of your favorite stations (in each mode) and store them in memory.

FOLD-DOWN rotatable FLEXIBLE ANTENNA

The antenna rotates to help improve reception. The flexible design prevents damage from bending. It folds down and out of the way when not in use.

iPod COMPARTMENT

The iPod compartment, located in the drop-down door on the front of the radio, helps protect your iPod from jobsite debris. Inside the compartment, there is a 30-pin iPod docking connector and retainer strap to help secure your iPod. When connected, the iPod can be charged even if the radio is turned off.

race mode

Use the RACE mode to tune into race-affiliated frequencies. Race mode lets you listen to driver/pit crew communications, track official/driver communications, and track worker conversations with drivers, crews and officials.

SQUELCH CONTROL

While in RACE mode, you can reduce interference to improve the listening quality of stronger signals.

NOTE: Use of the Squelch control will affect some tuning and scanning functions. Refer to these sections in this manual for details on making adjustments when SQUELCH is in use.

TOP TRAY

When charging your cell phone or other small items through the 12 V receptacle, store them in the top tray.

PROTECTIVE STEEL ROLL CAGE

The steel roll cage helps protect your radio while in use on the job site.
