3.Rotate the SELECT knob to select the Menu Mode No-010[ARTS IDW].

4.Press the SELECT knob momentarily to initiate callsign storage (the first character location of the callsign field will be underlined.).

5.Rotate the DIAL knob to select the first letter/number of your callsign, then rotate the SELECT knob one click clockwise to save the first letter/number and move to the next entry position.

6.Repeat the previous step as many times as necessary to complete your callsign.

7.Press the SELECT knob momentarily to save your completed callsign and exit.

8.Rotate the SELECT knob one click counter-clockwise to select the Menu Mode No- 009 [ARTS ID].
