    INTRODUCTION This manual describes how to use the EDACS PRISM HP Radio. The PRISM HP is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, high performance portable FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in both the Enhanced Digital Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking environment and conventional com- munication systems.

  • Page 8: User Interface

    USER INTERFACE The PRISM HP operating controls are located on the radio’s front, top and left panels. A 6-button (scan model) or 15-button (system model) keypad, Liquid Crystal Dis- play (LCD), microphone and speaker are on the front panel. The top panel houses a rotary SYSTEM/GROUP/ CHANNEL knob, POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME control knob and an EMERGENCY button.
