Programming the Key Assignments

Default FT-2980R/E key functions have been assigned to the Microphone's [ P1 ] / [ P2 ] /
[ P3 ] / [ P4 ] buttons at the factory. These may be changed by the user, if you wish to assign
quick access to another function.
To change the assignments for the programmable keys:
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second,
then rotate the DIAL knob to select the Menu Item to be
configured (" 36 PRG P1 ", " 37 PRG P2 ", " 38 PRG P3 " or
" 39 PRG P4 ").
2. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key, then rotate the DIAL knob to select the function you wish
to assign to the button you selected in the previous
step. The available choices are vary slightly among the
four keys you may program, and they include:
ARTS : Engages the ARTS™ operation.
SQLOFF : Opens the Squelch to allow un-muted
reception.
WX CH : Switches operation to the Weather
channels bank.
S SRCH : Engages the Smart Search operation.
C SRCH : Engages the Tone Search Scanning
feature.
SCAN : Engages the Scan operation
T CALL : Activates 1750 Hz Tone Burst
or one of the Set Menu items that has been already assigned before.
If you want to assign your desired Set Mode item on the programmable key, see the
description in the box shown below.
3. Press the [ MHz ( SET )] key momentarily to save the new setting, then rotate the DIAL
knob to select another programmable button to modify, if desired, and repeat the
above steps.
4. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to exit to normal operation.
You may assign Set Mode items to the Microphone's [ P1 ] / [ P2 ] / [ P3 ] / [ P4 ] buttons,
as well, to do this:
1. Press and hold in the [ MHz ( SET )] key for one second to enter the Set mode.
2. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the Set Mode Item which you wish to assign
to the key as a Menu short-cut.
3. Press and hold in the Microphone's [ P1 ] , [ P2 ] , [ P3 ] , or [ P4 ] button for one
second to assign the Set Mode Item to that button.
4. Now you can recall this preferred Set Mode Item by simply pressing the Mi-
