FEATURES
DIGITAL KEYPAD
Use the digital keypad for direct input of a desired frequency.
With digital tuning, you can preset up to ten of your favorite
stations (in each mode) and store them in memory.
FOLD-DOWN ROTATABLE FLEXIBLE ANTENNA
The antenna rotates to help improve reception. The flexible
design prevents damage from bending. It folds down and
out of the way when not in use.
iPod COMPARTMENT
The iPod compartment, located in the drop-down door on
the front of the radio, helps protect your iPod from jobsite
debris. Inside the compartment, there is a 30-pin iPod
docking connector and retainer strap to help secure your
iPod. When connected, the iPod can be charged even if the
radio is turned off.
PROTECTIVE STEEL ROLL CAGE
The steel roll cage helps protect your radio while in use on
the job site.
RACE MODE
Use the RACE mode to tune into race-affiliated frequencies.
Race mode lets you listen to driver/pit crew communications,
track official/driver communications, and track worker
conversations with drivers, crews and officials.
SQUELCH CONTROL
While in RACE mode, you can reduce interference to improve
the listening quality of stronger signals.
NOTE: Use of the SqUELCH control will affect some tuning
and scanning functions. Refer to these sections in this
manual for details on making adjustments when SqUELCH
is in use.
TOP TRAY
When charging your cell phone or other small items through
the  V receptacle, store them in the top tray.
