3.5.8 Selecting the Channel

Two methods are available for selecting the channel: inputting the channel with the numeric keypad then pressing the ENT key or using the Channel UP/DOWN switch on the side of the handset. Both methods are applicable to the three frequency groups on the Working Channel.

Using the Channel UP/DOWN Switch

Pressing the Channel UP ∧ switch increments the current channel number by one for each key-click. When the highest channel number is reached, the channel scrolls to the lowest number and increments from there. Pressing the Channel DOWN ∨ switch decrements the current channel number by one for each key-click. When the lowest channel number is reached, the channel scrolls to the highest number and decrements from there. Channel numbers not available in a particular frequency group are skipped.

If the Channel UP/DOWN switch is pressed and held for at least a half second, channels automatically change every 100 milliseconds.

Using the Numeric Keypad

To select a channel, input the desired number on the keypad. For 5 seconds the channel number flashes on the LCD display. If the ENT key is pressed during this 5 second interval, the channel change is implemented. If the 5 seconds elapse without pressing another key, the channel change is implemented anyway. If the CLR key is pressed while the number is flashing, the channel returns to the previous number.

Note: A leading zero is required for single digit channel numbers.

3.5.9 Selecting the Private Channel (RAY230E only)

To select the Private Channel, press the FUNC key, followed by the 5/PRIV key, then input the channel number on the keypad. For 5 seconds the channel number flashes on the LCD display. If the ENT key is pressed during this flashing phase, the channel change is implemented. If the 5 seconds elapse without pressing another key, the channel change is implemented. If the CLR key is pressed during the flashing phase, the channel returns to the previous number.

Note: While using the Private Channel, selecting a new Working Channel or pressing the CLR key returns operation to the Working Channel.
