Operation with a Full Function Handset

4.4.3

Using the Function Key

Most of the keys on the handset control multiple operations. Pressing one
of these keys after pressing the FUNC key initiates the operation marked
on the label above that key. When the FUNC key is pressed, the FUNC
indicator is displayed on the LCD display. If no other key is pressed for 5
seconds, the operation is cancelled and the FUNC indicator disappears.

4.4.4

Setting the Frequency Mode

Select the channel frequency group to be used: US, Canadian, or
International. Indicators displayed in the LCD identify the active frequency
group: US for the US frequency group, CAN for the Canadian group, and
INT for the International group.

Pressing the FUNC key followed by the INT key alternates the frequency
groups from US mode to International mode to Canadian mode then back
to US mode. When the radio is powered on, the radio is set to the last
selected Priority Channel (9 or 16) in the last selected frequency group .

When the frequency group is changed, the channel number remains the
same as was selected in the previous group, as long as that number is
present in the new group. If a channel number is absent in the destination
group, the new channel will be the previous number plus 1. When returning
to the previous frequency group, the channel returns to its original number
if the channel has not been changed. If the channel has been changed,
that number is retained when the frequency group is changed.

Example 1
CH15 US

CH15 INT

CH15 CAN

CH15 US

When shifting the frequency group, the channel remains the same because
the corresponding channel number exists in the new frequency group.

Example 2
CH2 CAN

CH3 US

CH2 INT

CH2 CAN

No corresponding channel exists in the new frequency group, so the
channel is incremented by 1. As long as the channel is not changed further,
it returns to its previous number if the frequency group is again changed.

Example 3
CH2 CAN

CH3 US, then changed to CH5

CH5 INT

CH5 CAN

However, if the channel is changed in the new frequency group, this new
number is retained when the frequency group is changed.
