HOME Channel Memory

A special one-touch "HOME" channel is available (one for each of the 6 operating bands:
see page 21), to allow quick recall of a favorite operating frequency on each band. Memory
storage is simple to accomplish:
1. Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode on the "Main" band. Be
sure to set up any desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset.
The power level may also be set at this time, if you wish to store it.
2. Press and hold in the [ SET ] key for 1/2 second. A memory number will appear (blink-
ing) on the display.
3. While the memory channel number is blinking, just press the "Main" [ H/M ] key. The
frequency and other data (if any) will now be stored in the special HOME channel regis-
ter.
4. You may repeat this process on the other operating bands.
5. To recall the HOME channel, just press the [ H/M ] key while operating either in the VFO
or MR mode.

Memory Only Mode

Once memory channel programming has been completed, you may place the radio in a
"Memory Only" mode, whereby VFO operation is impossible. This may be particularly
useful during public-service events where a number of operators may be using the radio for
first time, and ultimate simplicity of channel selection is desired.
To place the radio into the Memory Only mode:
1. Turn the radio off.
2. Press and hold in the "left" [ V/M ] key while turning the radio on.
3. Rotate the "right" DIAL knob to select the (F-5 M-ONLY MODE), then press the [ SET ]
key momentarily.
To return to normal operation, repeat the above steps.
