[. . . ] 7 Press [MENU] to complete the entry. · Press any key other than [MR], [VFO], [F], and [MENU] to cancel the entry. · To complete an entry of less than 6 characters, press [MENU] two times. 3 Press [MENU]. · A blinking cursor appears. 8 Press any key other than [MENU] to exit Menu Mode. After storing a Memory Name, the Memory Name appears in place of the operating frequency. This menu toggles the display mode between the Memory Name ("MN") and frequency display ("FRQ"). Note: You cannot name the Call Channel {page 35}. You cannot assign a Memory Name to a channel that does not contain data. The stored name is erased when you clear the Memory Channel data. 4 Turn the Tuning control to select a desired alphanumeric character. · You can enter the following alphanumeric characters: 0 ~ 9, A ~ Z, ­ (hyphen), / (slash), and a space. · Rather than using the Tuning control, you can use the Mic keypad (keypad models only) to enter alphanumeric characters {page 64}. 32 MEMORY CHANNEL TRANSFER MEMORY \ VFO TRANSFER After retrieving frequencies and associated data from Memory Recall Mode, you can copy the data to the VFO. This function is useful, for example, when the frequency you want to monitor is near the frequency stored in a Memory Channel. 1 Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to recall the desired Memory Channel. · Alternatively, press [CALL] to select the Call Channel. CHANNEL \ CHANNEL TRANSFER You can copy channel information from one Memory Channel to another. This function is useful when storing frequencies and associated data that you temporarily change in Memory Recall Mode. 1 Press [MR], then turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to recall the desired Memory Channel. 2 Press [F]. 2 Press [F], [VFO] to copy the Memory Channel data to the VFO. Note: On odd-split channels, the above operation copies only the reception frequency to the VFO (not the transmission frequency). To copy the transmit frequency of an odd-split channel, press [REV] before performing the transfer. You can also transfer the Program Scan memory channels (L0/U0 ~ L2/U2), the Priority Channel (Pr), and the Weather Alert Channel (AL) (K market models only) to the VFO. Lockout status and Memory Names are not copied from a Memory Channel to the VFO. 7 3 Select the Memory Channel where you would like the data copied by using the Tuning control or pressing Mic [UP]/[DWN]. 4 Press [MR]. 33 The tables below illustrate how data is transferred between Memory Channels.

CH). Note: When transferring an odd-split channel, the Reverse status, Offset direction, and Offset frequency are not transferred {pages 23, 26}. Tone, CTCSS, and DCS are automatically turned OFF when transferring data to the Weather Alert Channel (AL). 34 CALL CHANNEL Call Channel default settings: · On K and M market models, pressing [CALL] changes the transceiver to the Call Channel. · On E market models, pressing [CALL] causes the transceiver to transmit a 1750 Hz tone {page 25}. REPROGRAMMING THE CALL CHANNEL 1 Select your desired frequency and related data (Tone, CTCSS, DCS, or offset direction, etc. ). · When you program the Call Channel as an odd-split channel, select a reception frequency first. 2 Press [F]. · A Memory Channel number appears and blinks. The Call Channel can be recalled instantly no matter what frequency the transceiver is operating on. For instance, you may use the Call Channel as an emergency channel within your group. The default Call Channel frequency is 144. 000 MHz. Note: Unlike Memory Channels 0 to 199, the Call Channel cannot be cleared. 3 Turn the Tuning control or press Mic [UP]/[DWN] to select the Call Channel ("C"). 4 Press [MR]. · The selected frequency and related data are stored in the Call Channel. 7 RECALLING THE CALL CHANNEL 1 Press [CALL] to recall the Call Channel. · The Call Channel frequency and "C" appear. To also store a separate transmit frequency, continue with the following steps: 5 Select the desired transmission frequency. [. . . ] There are two methods available for resetting the transceiver. Note: Menu No. 10 (OFFSET) return to the factory default values. 14 · Press any key other than [MENU] to cancel. 68 4 Press [MENU] to reset the transceiver. TROUBLESHOOTING The problems described in the following tables are commonly encountered operational malfunctions. These types of difficulties are usually caused by improper hook-up, accidental incorrect control settings, or operator error due to incomplete programming. Please review these tables and the appropriate section(s) of this instruction manual before assuming your transceiver is defective. [. . . ]
