Keylock; Clear - AOR AR1000 Manual

The Keyboard
This operation in Manual mode can be useful for fine-tuning a frequency,
particularly frequencies in the shortwave bands, which tend to drift in and out of
frequency. These changes are not permanent. When you press the Manual key
again, the original frequency will return.
See page 82 for information about the Tuning knob.
KEY LOCK
KEY LOCK button locks out the keys on the keyboard so you don't accidentally
disturb the current setup. After you press KEY LOCK, you will not be able to
stop the scan or search by pressing MANUAL, nor will you be able to change
operation modes. When in Key Lock mode (with KEY LOCK in the display) the
only key that will function is the KEY LOCK key, which will toggle the mode
off. Even the LIGHT key will not function. In addition, the Tuning knob on the
top panel will become inactive. However, the volume, squelch, and ATT button
will continue to function normally.
Key Lock mode can be useful if you are carrying the scanner with you on the belt
clip and you don't want to change the setup by accidentally bumping the keys. It
is also a good way to keep your children from modifying your current setup. The
KEY LOCK key is protected by a collar to keep it from being accidentally
pressed.
You can run into an interesting situation with Key Lock and AUX modes. When
the scanner switches to the channel set as the Priority channel, you will encounter
a similar locked out keyboard. Only the AUX key will be active in this situation.
If you turn on Priority mode (AUX shows in the display) and then turn on Key
Lock, if the scanner switches to the Priority channel, you will not even be able to
disable Key Lock, since that key will be locked out by the Priority mode. The
only key that will be functioning will be the AUX key.
Fortunately, this is not really a problem because neither the Key Lock mode nor
the AUX mode is carried across power cycles. When you turn off the scanner
while it is in Key Lock mode, it will always power back up with the keyboard
unlocked.

CLEAR

The CLEAR key is used to clear out mistakes or unwanted entries in the display.
You can use it to clear a channel frequency, a bank limit, a bank channel, an
increment value, or anything else you enter from the keyboard. Note that the
CLEAR button is used for both Clear and for entering a decimal point. So if you
go to enter the frequency 154.075 and you enter 155 by mistake, you will have
78
