Pressing the frequency transfer switch for more
than 2 seconds, while in the standby entry mode, will
switch the receiver control unit to the active entry
mode.
Momentarily pressing the frequency transfer
switch while in the active entry mode will return the
receiver control unit to the standby entry mode.
(4) Megahertz Tuning Knob. The megahertz
tuning knob is the larger of two concentric knobs that
are used to set the frequency in the standby frequency
display. Rotation of the megahertz tuning knob sets
the three digits to the left of the decimal point in the
standby frequency display. The numbers will roll over
at the upper and lower frequency limits. Rotating the
megahertz tuning knob in either direction with receiver
control unit in the channel mode will change the
channel number and its corresponding frequency.
(5) Kilohertz Tuning Knob. The kilohertz
tuning knob is the smaller of two concentric knobs that
are used to set the frequency in the standby frequency
display. Rotation of the kilohertz tuning knob sets the
two digits to the right of the decimal point in the
standby frequency display in 50 kilohertz increments.
The numbers will roll over at the upper and lower
frequency limits. Rotating the kilohertz tuning knob in
either direction with receiver control unit in the channel
mode will change the channel number and its
corresponding frequency.
(6) Channel Switch. The channel switch,
placarded CHAN, is a push-button switch that will put
the receiver control unit into the channel mode when
momentarily pressed, or into the program mode when
pressed for more than 2 seconds.
(7) Power and Volume Control. The power
and volume control, placarded OFF/VOL, controls
operation of the receiver control unit. Clockwise
rotation from the OFF position applies power to the
system and continued clockwise rotation increases
volume.
(8) Standby Frequency Display. Displays the
standby (inactive) frequency.
c. Operating Procedures.
(1) Equipment Turn On. The receiver and
the control unit are turned on by clockwise rotation of
the power and volume knob.
(2) Frequency Selection.
(a) Standby
Frequency
Entry
Mode.
When the receiver control unit is in the standby
frequency entry mode, the active frequency (in the
active frequency display) is selected by changing the
frequency in the standby frequency display, then
transferring the selected frequency to the active
frequency display by pressing the frequency transfer
switch. The frequency in the standby frequency
display is changed by means of the megahertz and
kilohertz tuning knobs on the receiver control unit. The
receiver control unit will remain tuned to the frequency
in the active frequency display as long as the receiver
control unit is in the standby frequency entry mode.
(b) Active Frequency Entry Mode. When
the receiver control unit is in the active frequency entry
mode, the active frequency (in the active frequency
display) is changed directly by rotating the kilohertz
and megahertz tuning knobs. The receiver control unit
is changed to the active frequency selection mode by
holding the transfer switch pressed for longer than
2 seconds. Momentarily pressing the frequency
transfer switch will change the receiver control unit
back to the standby entry mode and will return the
standby frequency display to the frequency displayed
before entering the active frequency mode.
(c) Channel
Mode.
Pressing
the
channel switch, placarded CHAN, will put the receiver
control unit into the channel mode. When the receiver
control unit is in the channel mode, the channel
number is displayed in the active frequency display
and the channel frequency is displayed in the standby
frequency display. Channel frequencies have to be
set with the unit in the program mode.
When the receiver control unit is in the channel
mode, the receiver will be tuned to the frequency that
is displayed in the standby frequency display. If no
channels have been programmed, the receiver control
unit will display channel 1 (CH 1) with dashes in the
standby frequency display for 5 seconds, then the unit
will tune the receiver to the last frequency displayed in
the active frequency display.
Pressing the transfer switch for 2 seconds will
change the receiver control unit to the active frequency
entry mode.
(3) Program Mode. The frequencies and
channel numbers used in the channel mode must be
programmed into memory with the receiver control unit
in the program mode. Pressing the CHAN switch for
longer than 2 seconds will put the receiver control unit
into the program mode. The channel number that was
last used will be displayed and flash in the active
frequency display. With the channel number flashing,
rotating the tuning knobs will change the channel
number. A channel number with no programmed
frequency will have dashes in the standby frequency
