GENERAL OPERATION
SECTION 3   GENERAL OPERATION
3.1 TURNING POWER ON AND SETTING 
VOLUME
3.1.1  POWER UP
Power is turned on and off by the top panel On-
Off/Volume switch. When power is initially turned on, 
the following events occur:
The software version number is displayed.
A self test is performed.
The currently selected zone is displayed.
If a conventional P25 channel is selected, the 
Individual ID of the radio is displayed.
If a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 Trunked 
channel is selected, the Unit ID of the radio is 
displayed. 
A tone sounds (if tones are enabled)
The selected channel alias is displayed continuously 
when power-up is complete. 
Programming determines if the radio powers up 
on the last selected zone or the pre-programmed home 
zone. Refer to Section 3.3 for information on the 
channel that is selected. The minimum volume level 
may be set by programming. This can prevent missed 
messages resulting from inadvertently turning the 
volume to an inaudible level.
3.1.2  STANDARD AND SOFT POWER DOWN
To turn power off, rotate the On-Off/Volume 
control counterclockwise until a click occurs. Power 
may remain on for an instant after turn-off occurs.
A soft power down feature can be programmed to 
prevent radio power from being turned off by acciden-
tally turning the on-off/volume control. Any side 
button can be programmed for this function in addition 
to its normal function. Then for power to turn off, this 
button must be pressed during or after power is turned 
off in the normal manner using the knob (there is no 
time out).
3.1.3  SETTING VOLUME LEVEL
The volume level is adjusted by the top panel 
volume control knob or by option buttons programmed 
for the Up/Down volume function. When the buttons 
are used, the volume control function of the knob is 
disabled (it is still used to switch power). Volume 
buttons may be used instead of the knob, for example, 
if accidental turning of the volume knob is a problem. 
When the volume control buttons are used, the 
number of steps (ticks) required to change the volume 
from the minimum level to maximum level is 
programmable for 1-50. For example, if “20” is 
programmed, there are 20 adjustment steps from 
minimum to maximum volume. Only one volume 
control button can be programmed if desired and 
wrap-around then occurs after the maximum or 
minimum level is selected. 
The radio can also be programmed so that volume 
control is also be disabled by the Keypad Lock feature. 
Refer to Section 3.6 for more information.
The relative volume level can be determined by 
the position of the index on the volume knob or by a 
reference signal as follows:
If a key press tone is enabled, a short tone sounds 
when a key is pressed. 
If a conventional channel is selected and the 
Monitor option switch or menu parameter is 
programmed, pressing that switch unsquelches the 
receiver and either voice or background noise is 
heard (see Section 5.3). If a SMARTNET/Smart-
Zone or P25 Trunked channel is selected, the 
receiver cannot be manually unsquelched.
3.2 POWER-UP PASSWORD
3.2.1  GENERAL
The power-up password feature prevents unau-
thorized use of the radio by locking the keypad on 
power up until the proper password is entered. This 
feature is enabled or disabled by programming.
When it is enabled, “ENTER PSWD” is briefly 
displayed when power is turned on. The eight-digit
