Selecting a zone
Your radio may be programmed to use zones. A zone
is a collection of channels. Zones are a way of
grouping channels, for example, by public safety
agency type (fire, police, ambulance, etc.) or by
geographical region (Dallas, Houston, etc.).
To select a zone:
1 Press Menu and select Zones.
2 Scroll to the zone you want.
3 Press Select.
Your radio may indicate the zone in which it is
currently operating in the following ways:
■ the name of the zone appears below the
channel name in the default radio display, or
■ the zone icon appears as a letter in the top right
corner of the display.
Other ways of selecting a zone
You may also be able to use the following controls to
select a zone:
■ left selection key (see "Using the left selection key
Quick Access menu" on page 35)
■ scroll keys (see "Using the scroll key Quick
Access menu" on page 34)
■ function keys to scroll through zones
