© Tait Limited July 2013

 

The alphanumeric keys 

 to 

 are used to enter letters, numbers and punctuation. 

Repeated presses of these keys will give you the characters shown in the table below.

Radio Programming

The radio does not need to be programmed to recognize the presence of a keypad 
microphone, as this is automatically done when the radio is powered on. 

However, to utilize the alphanumeric keys, particularly in conventional mode, you need to 
configure the Default Dialing Type (UI Preferences form or Conventional UI form). 
See the Help of the programming application for more information on this field and other 
programming options required to enable a particular form of dialing. 

You 

must

 power-cycle the radio after replacing the keypad microphone with a program-

ming lead, in order to read or program the radio.

Installation

Notice

The keypad microphone grommet must be installed whenever the microphone 

is plugged into the microphone socket. When installed, the grommet has two functions:

to prevent damage to the microphone socket when there is movement of the 
microphone cord, and

to ensure that the control head is sealed against water, dust and other 
environmental hazards.

1 Make sure the radio is turned off, then plug the keypad microphone cord into the 

microphone socket on the radio control head.

The radio will only recognize the presence of the keypad microphone when the radio is 
powered on, so that if the microphone is plugged in after the radio has been powered on, 
it will not recognize the keypad microphone. Also, if the keypad microphone is plugged 
in on power up but is later unplugged, then plugged back in, the radio will not recognize 
it again until the next power cycle.
