1.
Select the desired frequency, while operating in the VFO mode. Be sure to set up any
desired CTCSS or DCS tones, as well as any desired repeater offset. The power level
may also be set at this time, if you wish to store it.
2.
Press and hold in the
key for 1/2 second.
3.
Within five seconds of releasing the
key, you need to make a decision regarding
channel storage. The microprocessor will automatically se-
lect the next-available “free” channel (a memory register
on which no data has been stored). If you do not wish to
make a change and accept the “free” channel, proceed to
step 4. If you wish to select a different channel number into which to store the data,
rotate the
DIAL
knob to select the desired memory channel.
Advice
: You may jump 100 memory channels, if you’re in a hurry (101
201
301 …),
by pressing the
key (multiple times, if necessary). If you see the “
” icon at the
upper left of the channel number, it means that the channel currently has no data
written on it (i.e. the channel is “free”: the occupied channel displays the “
” icon).
4.
Press the
key once more to store the frequency into memory.
5.
You still will be operating in the “VFO” mode, so you may now enter other frequen-
cies, and store them into additional memory locations, by repeating the above pro-
cess.
1) You may change the automatic memory channel selection feature to select
the “next-highest memory channel above the last-stored memory channel”
instead of the “next-available ‘free’ channel” via the Set Mode Item 56:
MEMORY WRITE; see page 151.
2) You may disable the memory write function which prevents a memory write operation
if you should accidentally perform a wrong key sequence via the Set Mode Item 54:
MEMORY PROTECT. See page 151 for details. When the memory write protect is acti-
vated, the “PROTECT” notation appears on the display while a memory write opera-
tion is being performed.
3) You may change the duration time of the secondary function (press and holding the
key) of the
key via the Set Mode Item 36: FW KEY HOLD TIME; see page 148.

or static electricity. When repairs are made the memory data may be lost. Please

needed.
