When the TX code channel number (or name) is displayed, [CH Up] or [CH Down] selects the TX code channel. USING [TX CODE CH SELECT] KEY: q Push [TX Code CH Select]--a TX code channel number (or name) appears. e Push [Call] (or [PTT] during BIIS operation) to transmit the selected TX code. USING [TX CODE CH UP]/[TX CODE CH DOWN] KEY: If the transceiver has a [TX Code CH Up] or [TX Code CH Down] key assignment, the programmed TX code channel can be selected directly when pushed. NOTE for PMR or BIIS PMR operation: · The LCD indication does not change when the operating channel number (or name) is displayed. (Depending on the pre-setting) · To check the selected TX code, push [TX Code CH Select].
