STANDARD MEMORY OPERATION Cont'd


Labeling Memories
You may wish to append an Alphanumeric "Tag" (label) to a memory or memories, to aid in recollection of the channel's use (such as a club name, etc.). To do this:

    1. Prsss the [V/M] button, if necessary, to enter the "Memory Mode".

    2. Prsss and hold in the [V/M] button. The data stored in the currently selected memory channel will be displayed on the TFT.

    3. Rotate the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob to recall the memory channel that you wish to append a label.

    4. Press the [SELECT] button. A blinking cursor will appear on the first digit.

    5. Use the [◄] and [►] keys to set the cursor position and use the [▲] and [▼] keys to choose the letters, numbers, or symbols of the desired lable.

ADVICE:
To may also use the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob to program the label.     6. Repeat step 5 to program the remaining letters, numbers or symbols of the desired label. 18 characters may be used in the creation of a label.

    7. When you have completed the creation of the label, press the [SELECT] button.

    8. Press and hold in the [V/M] button for one second to save the new setting and return to normal operation.


Checking a Memory Channel Status
Before programming a channel into memory, you can check the current contents of that channel without the danger of over-writing the channel accidentally.

    1. Prsss the [A►M] button momentarily. The data stored in the currently selected memory channel will be displayed on the TFT. However, since you are only checking the contents of the memory channel, your radio will not have moved to the memory channel frequency.

    2. Rotate the [VFO-B/CLAR] knob to select a different memory channel. To exit from the Memory Check mode, press the [A►M] button momentarily once more.

ADVICE:

While the Memory Check function is engaged, the memory channel number will blink in the display.

While operating in the VFO mode, using Memory Check, you may store the current VFO frequency into the selected memory by pressing and holding in the [A►M] button for one second (until the double beep). Conversely, if you wish to write the contents of the current memory into the VFO-A register, press and hold in the [M►A] button for one second.
