11.4 MENU
The menu function accesses features that are not available directly from the keypad. The order and
specific number of menu items available is configurable through programming. Upon radio power up, the
menu item at the beginning of the menu list will always be displayed first. Subsequent access to the menu
function will return the last menu item that was shown in the display. To enter the menu mode, press
MENU. The
ramp control, MENU, and CLR are used during the selection process. All of the
selection mode rules previously detailed apply to the menu item selection process with the exception of
direct access. The radio will continue to receive and transmit normally while in the menu function.
A new item is displayed by using the ramp control to scroll through the list in increasing and
decreasing order. The displayed menu item is made active by pressing MENU.
After entering the menu selection mode, the following generic display format will appear.
