ADVANCED OPERATION
Encryption Disable
Press the assigned Soft key or switch the Toggle
Switch to the assigned position to turn off the op-
tional voice encryption unit temporarily, for use
when an incorrect setting of (or failure in) the
encryption system at one end of the communica-
tion path has made it impossible to talk to the
other station.
Remember that disabling the encryption will mean
that your transmissions are no longer secure. Re-
turn to the encrypted mode as soon as possible, and
do not discuss any critical or confidential informa-
tion while in the non-encrypted mode of operation.
Lock
Switch the Toggle Switch to lock the top-panel
keys; this can be enabled to prevent radio settings
from being disturbed.
Follow-Me Scan
“Follow-Me” Scan feature checks a User-assigned
Priority Channel regularly as you scan the other
channels. Thus, if only Channels 1, 3, and 5 (of
the 8 available channels) are designated for “Scan-
ning,” the user may nonetheless assign Channel
2 as the “User-assigned” Priority Channel via the
“Follow-Me” feature.
To activate “Follow-Me” scanning, first select the
channel you want to designate as the “User-As-
signed Priority Channel” and Switch the Toggle
Switch to the assigned position. Then turn the CH
selector knob to the “Scanning Start” channel
which has been programmed by your dealer to
activate the scanner. When the scanner stops on
an “Active” channel, the User-assigned Priority
Channel will automatically be checked every few
seconds; if activity is found on the User-assigned
Priority Channel, the radio will switch between
it and the Dealer-Assigned Priority Channel, if
any.
Follow-Me DW
To set up a “Dual Watch” frequency pair using the
“Follow-Me” feature, select a channel using the CH
selector knob. Now press the assigned Soft key;
pressing the assigned Soft key locks the current
channel as the User-assigned Priority Channel. Now
rotate the CH selector knob to another channel (not
the “Scanning Start” channel). Your radio will now
switch back-and-forth between the currently-se-
lected channel (shown on the CH selector knob)
and the User-assigned Priority Channel.
