Operation with a Full Function Handset |
4.4.3Using the Function Key
Most of the keys on the handset control multiple operations. Pressing one of these keys after pressing the FUNC key initiates the operation marked on the label above that key. When the FUNC key is pressed, the FUNC indicator is displayed on the LCD display. If no other key is pressed for 5 seconds, the operation is cancelled and the FUNC indicator disappears.
4.4.4Setting the Frequency Mode
Select the channel frequency group to be used: US, Canadian, or International. Indicators displayed in the LCD identify the active frequency group: US for the US frequency group, CAN for the Canadian group, and INT for the International group.
Pressing the FUNC key followed by the INT key alternates the frequency groups from US mode to International mode to Canadian mode then back to US mode. When the radio is powered on, the radio is set to the last selected Priority Channel (9 or 16) in the last selected frequency group .
When the frequency group is changed, the channel number remains the same as was selected in the previous group, as long as that number is present in the new group. If a channel number is absent in the destination group, the new channel will be the previous number plus 1. When returning to the previous frequency group, the channel returns to its original number if the channel has not been changed. If the channel has been changed, that number is retained when the frequency group is changed.
Example1
CH15 US ⇒ CH15 INT ⇒ CH15 CAN ⇒ CH15 US
When shifting the frequency group, the channel remains the same because the corresponding channel number exists in the new frequency group.
Example2
CH2 CAN ⇒ CH3 US ⇒ CH2 INT ⇒ CH2 CAN
No corresponding channel exists in the new frequency group, so the channel is incremented by 1. As long as the channel is not changed further, it returns to its previous number if the frequency group is again changed.
Example3
CH2 CAN ⇒ CH3 US, then changed to CH5 ⇒ CH5 INT ⇒ CH5 CAN
However, if the channel is changed in the new frequency group, this new number is retained when the frequency group is changed.
