6.Press the key to move to the next character.

7.Repeat steps 5 and 6 to program the remaining letters, num-

bers, or symbols of the desired label. A total of 16 characters may be used in the creation of a label.

8. If you make a mistake, press the key to backspace the cursor, then re-enter the correct letter, number, or symbol.

9.When you have completed the creation of the label, press the PTT switch briefly to save the label and exit to normal operation.
