7 OPENSKY OPERATION

Once an OpenSky system has been selected from the available systems on your P7200 series portable

radio, the characteristics described in the following sections will govern operation.

7.1 POWER ON/OFF AND VOLUME CONTROL

7.1.1 Power ON/OFF

Rotate the Power ON/OFF/Volume Control knob clockwise to power the radio on and counter-clockwise

to power the radio off.

The radio will begin the Startup/Log On/Provision/Self-Test sequence and register on the OpenSky

network. This takes a few seconds. If coverage is available, the radio will display the active talk group

and is ready to use.

7.1.2 Volume Control

Turn the Power ON OFF/Volume Control knob clockwise to increase the volume and counter-clockwise

to decrease the volume.

7.2 CONTROLS

The P7200 portable radio features two rotary control knobs and an emergency button located on the top of

the radio (Figure 7-1). The Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and two option buttons are mounted on the side

(Figure 7-1). The front mounted keypad of the P7270 System model has 15 buttons (Figure 5-3) and the

P7250 Scan model has six buttons (Figure 5-2).
