Contrary to other devices with many functions, for the AE 6790 we attached importance to the fact
that every button only operates exactly one function. The number of dual functions with FC
(function button) + respective other button is reduced to a minimum. This simplifies operation and
everything can be grasped in short time without constantly referring to the user manual.
•
All functions are printed directly on or next to the backlit buttons.
•
The activated function is shown on the display.
Only the functions M1 to M3 and LOC printed in white right to the buttons need the FC button to
be briefly pressed in addition before the actual function.
UP/DOWN
Arrow buttons for changing the channels
MT
Country code – Briefly press program button MT: the country code flashes, select
the desired country setting with UP/Down or channel selector, briefly press MT to
confirm.
Modulation mode (AM or FM, if activated): Press A/F to toggle between AM and
A/F
FM (the mode is displayed). For FM devices in Austria this button is invalid.
SC
Channel SCAN on/off: Scan of all channels. All channels are scanned in
sequence. The scan stops if a transmission is detected and conversation can be
heard.
It is important for the scan to have the correct squelch setting to ensure it stops only
on active channels. The scan continues about 10 seconds after the conversation
has ended. Scanning also continues if the signal gets weak and falls below the
switching threshold.
Stop scan: Press the SC button again or briefly press the PTT button.
Press the SC button twice (i.e. once for stop and the second time for restart) if the
scan stops on an active channel, but you do not want to listen.
DW
Dual watch = dual channel monitoring
This is the alternate monitoring of two channels. The device toggles between the
previously set monitoring channel and the second channel, so that both channels
can be monitored. Monitoring stops on the channel, where activity is detected.
Press the DW button to select the monitoring channel, then set the second channel.
The receiver toggles between the monitoring and other channels. Press the DW
button again to exit the dual watch mode.
M1 to M3
Select memory channel: Press the FC button and then M1, M2 or M3.
Change memory: select channel, press the FC button and then press and hold
(approx. 3 sec) M1, M2 or M3. The memory channels are used to save frequently
used frequencies.
CH 9
Direct channel: One-touch change from previously selected channel to channel 9
and back. Channel 9 is the international call and emergency channel: Especially
in Germany many receivers listen to this channel. High probability to be heard on
this channel in an emergency. Also use channel 9 to start calling other stations. Call
the desired station and agree a different channel after your call is answered. In this
