8.8TURNING ON THE RADIO

1.Power ON the radio by rotating the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise. A short alert signal (if enabled through programming) indicates the radio is ready to use.

2.The display shows the last selected system and group or a default system and group (depending on programming).

3.Adjust the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob to the desired volume level.

4.Select the desired system and group. The display indicates the current system and group names.

5.The radio is now ready to transmit and receive calls.

In the trunked environment, CC SCAN will be displayed if communication with the system's control channel cannot be established. This may occur if, for example, the radio is out of range of the trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another location or select another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked mode operations. CC SCAN is displayed on the group line until a control channel is accessed.

8.9SYSTEM SELECTION

METHOD 1: From the control knob: If system selection is programmed to the Voice Group Selection control knob, select a system by turning the knob to the desired system number position (1-16). The display registers the new

system name on line one. The button can be programmed to provide access to a “2nd bank” of 16 system number positions (17-32).
