8 OPENSKY OPERATION

Once an OpenSky system has been selected from the available systems on your P7200 or P5200 series

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

8.1 POWER ON/OFF AND VOLUME CONTROL

8.1.1 Power ON/OFF

Rotate the Power ON/OFF/Volume 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.

8.1.2 Volume Control

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

decrease the volume.

8.2 CONTROLS

The P7200 and P5200 portable radios feature two rotary control knobs and an emergency button located

on the top of the radio (Figure 8-1). The Push-To-Talk (PTT) button and two option buttons are mounted

on the side (Figure 8-1). The front mounted keypad of the P7270 System model has 15 buttons and the

P5250 and P7250 Scan models have six buttons. The P7230 Select model does not have a front mounted

keypad.
