Tyco Electronics M/A-COM, M7300 Series 8.4 DIRECT ACCESS , 8.5 FEATURE ENCRYPTION DISPLAY

Line 1 shows the currently selected item name (XXXXXXXX) from the list. Line 2 indicates the list

(YYY) that the selection is to be made from and the number of the selected item (ZZZ) within the list. (In

some cases the information on lines 1 and 2 will be exchanged.) Enter the system selection mode by

pressing the SYS key. If SYSTEM 2 is the current selection, the display appears as follows:

S O U T H

S Y S = 2

Line 1 contains the current system name, SOUTH; and line 2, SYS = 2, indicates that selection is from

the system list and it is the second system within the list.

A new system from the list is selected by using the ramp control or by directly entering the system

number with the numeric keys. The ramp control scrolls through the list in increasing and

decreasing order. In the previous example, pressing up with the ramp control selects the EAST

system as shown in the next display.

E A S T

S Y S = 3

The radio can be programmed to wrap around from one end of a list to the other end or to stop at the ends.

8.4 DIRECT ACCESS

To directly access a selection, enter the corresponding number (e.g. 4) followed by MENU to activate the

selection. The entered number is displayed on line 2 as shown below. Line 1 shows the current list being

used for selection.

S E L S Y S

If a mistake is made while entering the number, press the DEL button to backspace once and correct the

entry. If an invalid number is entered, a short low-pitched tone sounds when MENU is pressed.

To exit the selection mode, press the CLR button or wait for the time-out. If the selection mode is cleared

while an entry is pending (i.e., numbers are entered on line 2, but MENU has not been pressed), the entry

on line 2 will be disregarded and the previous selection will remain active. If the time-out activates while

an entry is pending, the entry on line 2 will be selected if it is within the valid range; if it is out of range,

the entry on line 2 will be disregarded and the previous selection will remain active.

While in system, group or channel selection mode, the radio continues to receive calls

normally and continues scanning, if it is enabled. If a call is received during the

selection mode process the radio will return to the normal receive mode display.

Continuing with the selection process will return the display to the same point in the

selection process if the selection mode time out has not yet expired. Any press of the

PTT button during the selection mode process will initiate transmission and exit the

selection mode.

8.5 FEATURE ENCRYPTION DISPLAY
