For the European version and some other markets,

Next press numeric keys 0 and 5.

5The transceiver actually changes frequency only after the 1 kHz digit is entered. The 1 kHz digit is not displayed if it is a zero.

If you do not enter the 1 kHz digit, the indicator flashes and the transceiver defaults to the previous operating frequency.

Notes

1 If the frequency step of the UHF band is 10 or 20 kHz, the 1 kHz digit becomes zero automatically when you enter the 10kHz digit.

2 If you press an invalid key, the valid value nearest to that number is entered.

3 If you do not press a key within 10 seconds, the normal frequency display returns.

4 If you press the VFO key during input, the digits

showing - return to the values that appeared before the direct entry mode was selected.

If the frequency step is 12.5 or 25 kHz, the input ends with the 10-kHz digit. The 10-kHz keys and frequencies set with the keys are listed below.
