8Press [OK] to complete the setting.

9Press [MNU] to exit Menu mode.

The keypad on the MC-58DM can also be used to enter alphanumeric characters in step 5. Refer to page 18.

Note:

You can also name the Program Scan {page 50} and DTMF {page 58} channels, but you cannot name the Call channel {page 37}.

You can assign names only to memory channels in which you have stored frequencies and related data.

The stored names can be overwritten by repeating steps 1 to 9.

The stored names also are erased by clearing memory channels.
