These examples may not represent applications useful to you, but you will understand the flexibility of this function. Situation 1 Situation 1 Solution Solution You share your transceiver with other members in your family or club. However, each individual has personal preferences for how they like to set various functions. You have to keep changing many settings each time you use the transceiver. Because 5 PM channels are available, up to 5 persons can separately program the transceiver and store their customized environment. Then each person can quickly change to their favorite settings, simply by recalling a PM channel. It is too much trouble to change back the settings after somebody else has reconfigured them. This application can avoid having a feature-rich transceiver but never using many useful features. Solution Solution In 2 PM channels, store the same operating data such as frequency, offset, tone, etc. , and store different settings for the Display Dimmer and Beep functions. Then you can quickly recall the best settings for day and night operation. 8 Situation 2 Situation 2 While operating mobile on the way to work every morning, you prefer a silent transceiver that does not interrupt the morning calm. In addition, you feel that a bright display is a waste of power in sunlight. At night, when driving home, you realize the Beep function truly serves a purpose and you feel it is nice to see a bright display after dark. Situation 3 Situation 3 You cannot figure out how to exit the current mode. Solution Solution Simply recall PM channel 1, which contains an exact copy of the transceiver default environment. You will not lose the contents of any memory channels. 41 STORING IN PM CHANNELS 1 Confirm that the following conditions have been satisfied: · The transceiver is in reception mode. · Microphone Control is OFF.
