Strange Symbol


 

I have a small symbol in the bottom riight hand corner of my display.? It looks like a tiny box with an F on top of it.? Does anyone know what this is?? I thought perhaps it was the running man but it's not.? Thanks!


 

Jon, Key Lock "ON"
see Yaesu operating manual page 31

It's in the manual, page 41.

It represents a key in a keyhole and it means you have some level of panel locking enabled.

Read the last sentence.

Thanks!? Also found on Page 22 - how to change the lock setting.


 

The same glyph shoes three symbols in a rotation.

Nothing = standard operating mode.
Running man = tune dial at speed.
Key symbol = locked up dial. No move QRG by accident.
Back to start (nothing).

It's all in the instructions. These can be downloaded from Yaesu for free. I have one copy on the home PC and one on the cell phone (you need the powerful specs for the cell phone or zoom in). The cell phone is useful when portable.
