Bank Select
If banks of systems have been programmed, the Menu mode “BANK SELCT” or BANK option switch select the
bank in which the transceiver is currently operating. When the bank select mode is enabled, the Select switch is used to
change the current bank. Refer to the “Bank Select” description on page 12 for more information.
Call Guard Squelch Disable
The CG option switch disables Call Guard squelch. Refer to page 11 for more information.
Emergency
This switch is typically the switch to the left of the display. It is pressed to set up a high priority call. Refer to page
13 for more information.
Encryption
Optional voice encryption provides protection from casual eavesdropping and analog scanners because the voice is
changed so that it can be understood only by a mobile equipped with a similar encryption device. Each group can be
individually programmed for encryption so that when the group is selected or scanned, encryption is automatically
enabled or disabled.
Encryption can also be manually enabled or disabled by the ENCPT option switch or the Menu mode “ENCRYP-
TION” parameter. Encryption is enabled on the displayed group when the circle/triangle symbol is displayed (see page
4).
Selecting another system/group causes this feature to revert to the state programmed by your system operator for
that group. Encrypted calls are usually received even if encryption is not enabled on a group. However, encryption must
always be enabled to transmit an encrypted call.
External PA (Mic Audio To PA)
If your vehicle is equipped with a public address system, this feature allows the transceiver microphone to be used
to speak over that system. The PA-MC option switch or “EXTERNL PA” Menu parameter turn this feature on and off.
When this feature is active, the alphanumeric display indicates “MIC TO PA” and the transmitter is disabled.
External PA (Receive Audio To PA)
If your vehicle is equipped with a public address system, this feature allows the receive audio signal to be routed to
this system as well as to the regular speaker. The PA-RX option switch or “EXTERNL PA” Menu parameter can be
used to turn this feature on and off. When this feature is active, the alphanumeric display indicates “RCV AUD PA”.
Home System/Group
Each bank can be programmed with a “home” system/group that can be selected by pressing the HOME option
switch. If in the scan mode, this system/group is displayed for the length of the receive scan delay and then scanning
resumes.
