OPERATION

POWER-UP

After the battery pack and antenna
have been installed, turn the radio on by
sliding the ON/OFF SWITCH on the bat-
tery pack up. After the radio has completed
a power-up self-test, it will begin opera-
tion on the last operating state as dis-
played in the LCD. If programmed on, the
power-up alert tone (beep) will be heard.
If the radio was previously operating in
a trunking system and communication with
this system's control channel cannot be
established, the "NC" status flag will turn
on. This may occur if, for example, the
radio is out of range of the previous trunk-
ing site. It may be necessary to move to
another location, select another trunking
system, or a conventional channel.
SYSTEM/GROUP/CHANNEL SELEC-
TION
The Select model radio can be pro-
grammed with up to sixteen (16) different
system/group or channel combinations. To
select a particular group or channel, rotate
the CONTROL KNOB to the desired sys-
tem/group or channel in accordance with
the radio 's programming.
The Scan and System model radios
are programmed with one of two different
system/group/channel selection modes as
follows:
• Systems are selected with the
STEP button; groups and channels
are selected with the CONTROL
KNOB.
• Systems are selected with the
CONTROL KNOB; groups and
channels are selected with the
STEP button.
