RADIO OVERVIEW

PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS

Your radio has four programmable buttons.

Your dealer/programmer can program these

buttons as shortcuts to various radio features.

Check with your dealer/programmer for a

complete list of functions your radio supports.

Programmable buttons include:

• The four front buttons (C, D, E, and

F).

• The three buttons (A, B, and C) of the

optional DTMF microphone.

Some buttons can access up to two features,

depending on the type of button press:

•Short Press — quickly pressing and

releasing the programmable buttons,

–

•Long Press — pressing and holding the

programmable buttons for a

preprogrammed period of time,

–

•Hold Down — pressing and holding down

the programmable buttons while checking

status or making adjustments.

The table on page 13 summarizes the

programmable features available and shows

the page number where the feature is

explained.

In the “Button” column, have your dealer/

programmer record the name of the

programmable button next to the feature that

has been programmed to it.

The dealer/programmer can use the

abbreviations (P1, P2, P3, or P4) shown in the

radio illustration on page 7.

Also, where appropriate, have your dealer/

programmer indicate whether the button press

requires a short press, a long press, or needs

to be held down.
