- The channel indicator lights will change as you cycle through the channels.
Press and Hold for 2 Seconds (to enter frequency group switching mode):
- After holding for 2 seconds, both blue lights will light up at the same time. This indicates that you're now in frequency group switching mode.
Press and Hold for 5 Seconds (to switch frequency groups):
- After entering frequency group switching mode (both blue lights on), hold for another 5 seconds to switch between different frequency groups.
- Once the frequency group is changed, it will automatically save the setting and exit the mode.
Frequency Group Indicator Lights:
- The blue lights indicate the frequency group, and they are associated with the following groups:
- Group A: 12 lights on (Blue light 1 and Blue light 2 on together).
- Group B: 23 lights on (Blue light 2 and Blue light 3 on together).
- Group E: 34 lights on (Blue light 3 and Blue light 4 on together).
- Group F: 45 lights on (Blue light 4 and Blue light 5 on together).
- Group R: 56 lights on (Blue light 5 and Blue light 6 on together).
- Group L: 67 lights on (Blue light 6 and Blue light 7 on together).
- Group X: 35 lights on (Blue light 3 and Blue light 5 on together).
Summary of Band/CH Button Functions:
- Short press: Switch between CH1 to CH8.
- Press and hold 2 seconds: Enter frequency group switching mode (both blue lights on).
- Press and hold 5 seconds: Switch between frequency groups (A, B, E, F, R, L, X) and save the setting.
