INTERNET CONNECTION FEATURE

FRG (“FRIENDLY RADIO GROUP”) MODE

You may access other Internet Link Systems (including WIRES™ in the FRG mode) that use a DTMF string for access.

2.Rotate the DIAL knob to select Set Mode Item 45:

INTERNET SELECT.

3.Press the key briefly to enable adjustment of this Set

Mode Item.

4. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the DTMF Memory register (“1” - “64”) into which you wish to store the access code.

5.If you wish to attach an alpha/numeric name “Tag” to the Internet Memory, proceed to the next step; otherwise press

the key then skip to step 13.

10. Repeat steps 7 through 9 to program the remaining letters, numbers, or symbols of the desired label. Eight characters may be used in the creation of a label.

11.When you have programmed a label that is less than 8 char-

enable storing the access code; otherwise, just program the

8 character label and press the key one time.
