Programmable Features

Any reference in this manual to controls that are preprogrammed means that a qualified radio
technician must use the radio programming software to assign a feature to a control.
Your dealer can program the programmable buttons as shortcuts to radio functions or preset channels/
groups depending on the duration of a button press. Some functions can also be programmed to the
radio switches.
