A diagram of each potential icon and segment display of the Performa 450 LCD.

Please see the below for explanations of each icon's meaning in both Standby and Menu mode (if they differ.) This applies only to the Performa 450.

Informational Icons

These icons may only display in Standby Mode (the mode the radio defaults to when first powered on), or they may appear in other modes, but do not appear in the Menu Mode.


4-Segment Battery Level Indicator

  • Displays in all modes.
  • Indicates the battery level when in standby or charging.


Radio Clone

Clone Mode Only

  • Indicates that the radio is cloning. Waiting for clarification if this is incoming or outgoing.
    Please return to the Features & Reference Guide to access the Programming Guide.

  • RX Receiving incoming audio
  • TX Transmitting outgoing audio


Signal Strength
Standby Mode Only
The strength of the inbound or outbound signal. Distance, obstructions, and battery level will all affect this measurement.

VOX (ON/OFF)

Indicate the hands-free VOX setting is enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF)


SCAN
The radio is scanning all of its available channels and privacy codes.


PROG

Indicates that the radio is in the advanced programming menu, where desired frequencies are programmed. This will replace FREQ and CODE.


Frequency (FREQ)

Indicates that a frequency is being shown, rather than a privacy code. This normally does not appear in standby mode.


Code

This will appear when the user is viewing the current privacy code. This normally does not appear in Standby Mode.

  • Standby Mode Displays the privacy code being utilized in addition to the main channel number.
  • Scanning Mode Will show that each frequency of each channel is also being scanned.
  • Monitoring Mode Will display the frequency of the channel that's being boosted.
  • Blank Indicates that no privacy code is being used.
  • Keypad Lock indicates if the keypad has been locked, preventing accidental key presses other than PTT. The radio will also sound a tone if a button is pressed while the keypad lock is enabled.

    To disable the keypad lock, press and hold the padlock button (ESC) for 3 seconds until the icon disappears.
