2. To Edit the Phone Number
Go through step 1, above, to advance the editor to

tion's display will show a flashing "_" on the left side of
the display. If a number has already been programmed,
the leftmost number will be flashing. You may edit the
number by pressing VOL and Mode, just like you would
edit the mode name (see paragraph VIII).
If your radio has a 12-button keypad, enter the
phone number with the keypad. When you finish editing
the number, press HOME to save the changes and
advance to the next list position. Each time you go to
another location, you must press HOME if you wish to
select the displayed location for editing. When you

display shows "EXIT."
From the "EXIT" display, press HOME to return to
the "PHONE" display. Press Mode to scroll to the
"EXIT" display, then press HOME to return to the
"RADIO" display. Press Mode again to scroll to the
"EXIT" display, and press HOME to return to normal
radio operation.
XIV. CHANGE STATUS, MESSAGE, SITE, MPL,
OR SINGLE TONE NAMES
Some radio models are capable of sending status or
message information and/or operating on one of several
different radio systems (sites) for wide area coverage.
Some radios have operator-select multiple PL or opera-
tor-select Single Tone TM
be used to customize the list of statuses, messages,
site, MPL, or Single Tone names to your preference.
The process of editing these lists is identical to changing
mode names (see paragraph VIII).
As shipped from the factory, there are eight names
for the status and
site names, 16 MPL names, and 16 Single Tone
names; their default names are "STATUS 1" through
"Status 8," "MESSAGE 1" through "MESSAGE 8,"
"SITE 1" through "SITE 8," "MPL 1" through "MPL 16,"
and "TONE 1" through "TONE 16," respectively.
To edit the names, enter the "RADIO" menu (see
paragraph XI), press Mode up or down, to select the list
type you wish to modify: STATUS, MESSAGE, SITE,
MPL, or Single Tone name. With the desired list dis-
played, press HOME. The display changes to show one
of the names in the list (for example, "STATUS 1 " or
"SITE 4"). Press Mode to scroll through the list of
names or press HOME to select the displayed name for
editing.

XV. EDIT MDC-1200 RAC (REPEATER ACCESS
CONTROLLER) REPEATER LIST
The "RAC" menu is similar to the "CALL" menu. It
is used to assign up to 63 repeater names and IDs to
the radio's repertory RAC list. Each list location has two
operator-programmable elements: the alias name and
the ID.
To enter the "RAC" menu, proceed as you would to
enter the "RADIO" menu (see paragraph XI. CHANGE
RADIO-WIDE PARAMETERS). With "HOME SEL" dis-
played, press Mode down to scroll to the "RAC" menu.
Press HOME; the display changes to alternating dis-
plays; for example, "RPTR 1" displays for two seconds,
then "ID XXXX" displays for two seconds. The default
name as shipped from the factory is "RPTR X." The
alternating displays continue until you press Mode to go
to another location or press HOME to select the dis-
played unit for editing.
1. Edit the Repeater Name
With the display alternating, press HOME. The dis-
play defaults to "RPTR X" (or previously edited name)
and the first character location of the display flashes.

changes and/or advance to the repeater ID.
2. Edit the Repeater ID

ing the current cursor location. Edit ID by pressing VOL
and Mode, just like you would edit the mode name (see
paragraph VIII. CHANGE MODE NAMES). If your radio
has a 12-button keypad, enter the repeater ID number
with the keypad. When you finish editing the number,
press HOME to save the changes.
