tier, LTR-Net, 15-watt transceiver is indicated as
"9883602". The eighth display digit is reserved for
future use and is always "0".
3. If there are unread error codes, the last code that

ceiver is ready to be used.
2.4.2 DETERMINING VOLUME LEVEL
The relative volume setting can be determined by
noting the position of the index on the volume knob. It
may also be possible to enable a reference tone or
audio for setting the volume level using one of the
following methods:
l
If key press tones have been enabled as described in
Section 2.5.15, a short tone can be enabled by rotat-
ing the select switch or pressing an option switch.
l
If a conventional system is selected, take the micro-
phone off-hook to enable the monitor mode (unless
off-hook detect is disabled). If someone is talking,
audio is then heard. If nobody is talking, the squelch
control can also be adjusted as described in Section
2.4.7 and noise should be heard. Refer to Section
2.11.1 for more information on the monitor mode.
When an LTR-Net or LTR system is selected, the
receiver cannot be manually unsquelched.
2.4.3 BACKLIGHT OPERATION
The display and keypad backlight can be
controlled by the menu BACKLGHT parameter. The
three states that can be selected are Bright, Dim, and
Off. It is in the selected condition whenever power is
turned on. If this menu parameter has been disabled by
programming, the backlight is fixed in one of these
states.
