Display

The MTS 2000 radio has a 14-character, one-line liquid-crystal display (LCD),

which displays either alphanumeric messages or feature information. Above the

character displays are eight status annunciators that indicate some of the radio’s

operating conditions

Display Light

If poor light conditions make the display difficult to read, turn on the radio’s

display backlight by pressing the light button (normally side button 1). This light will

remain on for a preprogrammed time period before it turns off automatically, or

you can turn it off immediately by pressing the light button again (the light can be

turned off

only

if the radio is not in a feature menu). If, while the light is on, any

key or button is pressed (except for side button 3 and the PTT switch), any knob

is turned, or any toggle switch is moved, the light will remain on for an additional

time period.

Status Annunciators

The status annunciators indicate the status of certain radio functions:

• Battery Status ( ) – Flashes when the battery is low.

• Carrier Squelch ( ) – Indicates when the active conventional mode is being

monitored in the carrier squelch mode; ON = BEING MONITORED/

OFF = NOT BEING MONITORED.

• SECURENET Operation ( ) – For SECURENET-equipped radios, appears

either when the transmit mode you have selected has been preprogrammed

for SECURENET operation, or when the mode you have selected has been

preprogrammed for selectable operation and the two-position concentric

switch is in the SECURENET ( ) position; ON = SECURENET

TRANSMISSION/OFF = CLEAR TRANSMISSION.

• Call Received ( ) – Flashes when a call or page is received.

• Scan ( ) – Indicates when the radio is scanning; ON = SCANNING/OFF =

NOT SCANNING.

• Priority Scan ( ) – The presence of a dot along with the scan annunciator

indicates the receiving of a priority mode; FLASHING DOT = PRIORITY

1/SOLID DOT = PRIORITY 2.

• Programming Mode ( ) – Indicates when the radio is in the programming

mode; ON = IN PROGRAMMING MODE/OFF = NOT IN PROGRAMMING

MODE.

• Direct ( ) – Indicates whether you are talking directly to another radio

(talkaround), or through a repeater; ON = DIRECT/OFF = REPEATER.
