• Do not replace or charge batteries in a hazardous atmosphere. Contact spark-
ing may occur while installing or removing batteries and cause an explosion.
• Turn radio off when removing or installing a battery.

Using the Keypad

The keypad controls or inputs data to many of your radio's features. The up-
per 12 keys are arranged and function like a standard telephone keypad. The bot-
tom three keys are the left arrow key [<], HOME key, and right arrow key [>].

Selecting a Feature:

The display, combined with the top three buttons of the keypad, gives quick
access to many of the radio's features without having to have a dedicated me-
chanical key for each feature.
The names of the features [CALL, PAGE, etc.] are shown on the display, three
at a time, with key-like outlines to make them look like keys.
Selection of features is controlled by the three keys directly below the feature
names: the left key controls the left feature, the middle key controls the middle
feature, and the right key controls the right feature.

Left and Right Arrow Keys:

The left [<] and right [>] arrow keys are used to scroll the display forward or
backward through the radio's features and lists. There is no end-point to the list,
so if you continue to scroll in one direction, the display will "wrap around" back
to the beginning of the list. If you hold either key down, the display will scroll at a
faster rate until the key is released.
The left arrow key is also used for editing when you are entering information
manually from the keypad. Pressing the left arrow key will backspace, and erase
the display, one character at a time. If you have erased all the digits, an additional
press of the left arrow key will return the display to the preprogrammed list.

HOME Key:

The HOME key will always return you to the home [default/programmed]
Talkgroup. This will be the current Talkgroup [Zone] as selected (see Program-
mable Home Button, p. 25). In addition, if you are using a feature that requires it,
pressing the HOME key will also cause information to be saved in memory before
going to the home display. Some radio features will automatically go to the home
display when they are completed, without have to press the HOME key, thus re-
ducing the number of keypresses required.
