ADV0801 Owner's Manual Draft
To clone your radio to another unit, use a standard stereo patch cord terminated with 1/8" male
stereo phone plugs on each end to connect your radio (the SOURCE radio) to another radio (the
TARGET radio). Ensure that both radios are powered on. Press the PGM key, then the GLOB
softkey to enter the Global Settings menu. On the SOURCE radio, scroll to the Clone Send:
option, then press the SEL key when you are ready to send data from your SOURCE radio to
the TARGET radio. Both working memory and global settings are transferred.
NOTE: The contents of working memory on the TARGET radio will be overwritten immediately
when SEL is pressed on the SOURCE radio.
Standard Text Entry Method and QuickText
Your ADV0801 features a high-contrast, backlit alphanumeric display that provides constant
feedback about what the radio is doing while scanning and monitoring your "Scannable Objects".
To get the most out of your scanner and this display, you will want to name your objects as you
program them into the radio. This allows for easy identification of active objects while the radio
is scanning, and makes it easier than ever to find objects that you wish to monitor, edit or delete
using the powerful FIND feature.
Your scanner uses a simple text entry method that allows entry of all uppercase and lowercase
letters of the alphabet, numbers, and punctuation symbols. Your scanner also features exclusive
QuickText feature, which allows you to store up to 10 commonly used text items for instant
recall while editing alphanumeric fields.
Entering and Editing Alphanumeric Information
A Standard Text Entry Method is used for entering alphanumeric information into the radio.
This method allows easy access to each letter in the alphabet by pressing two keys that
represent the letter.
Take a moment to study the numeric keys on the keypad and you will notice that keys 2-9 each
have three or four letters silk screened on the front panel just above each key. To enter a letter
in an alphanumeric text field, simply press the number key below the letter you wish to type
first, then press the number key that corresponds with the position of the letter in the silk
screen group. For example, the number 2 is used to access the letters A, B and C. To type the
letter A, press 2 to select the ABC group, then 1 to select the first letter in the group, A.
Likewise, to type the letter B, press 2 to select the ABC group, then press 2 again to select the
second letter in the group. And, to type the letter C, simply press 2, then 3 to select the third
letter in the "ABC" group.
To enter numbers in alphanumeric text fields, press 1 first, then the number you wish to type.
To enter punctuation, press 0 first to see the first set of punctuation, then press the number key
that corresponds with the position of the desired punctuation mark in the set.
Press the . (period) key to enter a SPACE.
