Main Display Screen & Icons - Motorola APX 4000 Manual

MAIN DISPLAY:
The APX 4000 / 6000 has a color LCD display on the front
of the radio.
The main display is how the radio shows you, at a glance,
how your radio is operating and setup. The example to the
right only shows some of the more commonly seen icons;
however, there are additional icons which may appear and
these are indicated in the following list.
At the top left of the screen is a signal strength indicator.
This functions much as the "signal bars" you may have on
your cell phone screen. Moving to the right we see a
number of small icons arrayed at the top of the screen. In
this example, we see a large Z that indicates we have a
scan list populated and the radio is actively scanning talk-
groups within our scan list.
Adjacent to the scan icon we see a small H. The radios are
set by default to "High Power," thus this icon will
constantly remain on your screen. Adjacent to the H we
can see a battery life indicator. This also functions much
as the battery life indicator you may have on your cell
phone. Moving towards the center of the display, we can
see that the radio is currently set to FC Zone A Dg (Digital) and is tuned to talk-group FIRE 1 within that zone. At the very bottom
of the display we can see various menu options that can be accessed by pressing the corresponding menu select button. We can
change the menu options at the bottom of the display by using the 4-way navigation button to scroll between the various choices.
