Description

PILOT TONE INDICTOR

A steady “P” icon will be displayed when a pilot tone from the transmitter is present. (The “P” will appear
only in those compatibility modes which use pilot tone: 300 Series and the native 500 Series mode.)
The icon will flash if no pilot tone is detected and will change to a small “b” if the pilot tone has been
bypassed. To bypass the pilot tone, hold MENU and press the UP button. Hold MENU and press UP
again to restore normal pilot tone squelch. Bypassing the pilot tone also disables the squelch, so the
“pilot tone bypass” function has an effect even in those compatibility modes that do not use pilot tone.

ANTENNA PHASE INDICATOR

This icon shows antenna phase switching activity. As the antenna phase is switched, the symbol will flip
vertically.

RF LEVEL

This icon changes in size vertically to indicate the strength of the incoming RF signal. RF levels are
engraved from 1uV to 1000uV on the bezel to the left of the LCD.

AUDIO LEVELS

This icon changes in size horizontally to indicate the audio level (modulation) of the signal received from
the transmitter. The icon display will change to a solid rectangular block when the audio signal is being
limited in the transmitter. Levels in dB are engraved into the bezel above the LCD.

BATTERY LEVELS

The icon above the Rx symbol indicates the receiver battery condition and will flash when approximately
one hour of operating time is remaining. When external power is being used, the Rx battery icon
changes to look like a power plug. The area above the Tx symbol features either a transmitter battery
status icon or the transmitter battery timer, depending on the TXBAT setting. The transmitter battery
status icon is available only in compatibility modes supporting battery telemetry (500 and 300 Series). In
such cases, the transmitter battery status icon appears 5 to 10 seconds after the transmitter signal is
acquired. If selected in the TXBAT setup screen, the transmitter battery timer is available in any compat­
ibility mode. It accumulates hours and minutes that the communications link is active, retaining the
timing even when the receiver is off. To reset the battery timer, hold MENU and DOWN together for one
second.
