MEMORY MODE (REGULAR MEMORY CHANNEL OPERATION)

MASKING MEMORIES

There may be situations where you want to “Mask” memories so they are not visible during memory selection or scanning. For example, several memories used only in a city you visit infrequently may be stored, then “Masked” until you visit that city, at which time you can “Unmask” them for normal use.

1.Press the key, if needed, to enter the Memory Recall (“MR”) mode.

2.Press and hold in the key for 1/2 second, then rotate

the DIAL to select the memory channel to be “Masked” from view.

3. Press the key. The confirmation message (MR MASK?) will appear on the display. Press the key once more, the display will revert to memory channel #1. If you rotate the DIAL to the location you just “Masked,” you will observe that it is now invisible.

4.To Unmask the hidden memory, repeat the above procedure: press and hold in the

key for 1/2 second, rotate the DIAL to select the masked memory’s number, then press the key to restore the memory channel’s data.

Watch out! You can manually store data over a “Masked” memory, deleting previous data, if you’re not careful. Use the “next available memory” storage technique to avoid over-writing a masked memory.
