CONVENTIONAL FEATURES

Introduction

The following information describes features unique to the conven- tional operating mode (see brief description on preceding page). Refer to the preceding “General Operation” section for information on features common to all operating modes, and to the SMARTNET/SmartZone section starting page 34 for information on features unique to that mode.

The selected mode does not change when power is turned off. If the Displayed Infor- mation option switch is not programmed, the Alias mode is always used.

Alias - The preprogrammed alphanumeric tag for the channel is displayed.

Number - The channel number from 1-16 is displayed.

Frequency - The receive frequency of the selected channel is displayed in megahertz.
