Introduction: Control Head Descriptions1-5
Figure 1-5.  Typical W9 Full Keypad Control Head
1.4.4 W4, W5, W7, and W9 Controls
 Power Switch — The power (PWR) switch turns the radio and its accessories on or off. The 
power switch is part of the rotary volume knob on the W4 model, a push-type switch on the W5 
and W7 models, and a slide switch on the right-hand bottom surface of the W9 model.
 Mode Switch — The Mode switch is used for selecting modes and programming menus. The 
Mode switch is a rotary switch on the W4 model and a rocker switch on the W5, W7, and W9 
models. Pressing the right side of this rocker switch increases the mode number. Pressing the 
left side decreases the mode number. If you press and hold the switch, it scrolls the mode 
number up or down. The mode names appear in the display window.
 Volume Switch — The Volume switch is used for selecting the volume level, editing names, and 
making certain radio adjustments. The Volume switch is a rotary switch on the W4 model and a 
rocker switch on the W5, W7, and W9 models. On the pushbutton models, pressing and 
releasing the volume switch checks the volume setting. Your display will show “VOLUME_ _” 
and a number value (0-15). Press and hold the left side to decrease the volume. The number 
value scrolls up or down to your desired level. The Volume rocker switch also controls the 
volume level of the public address (PA) and external radio speaker (Ex Rd) options when they 
are enabled. The display window shows “PA VOL _ _” when public address is on and the 
Volume rocker switch is pressed.
 Dim Button — The DIM button is used to control the brightness of the display and button 
backlighting. When you turn on the system, the display comes on at the brightness level it was 
on before the system was last turned off. Press the DIM button once to reduce the brightness of 
the display to medium level and twice for low brightness level. Press the DIM button a third time 
to turn the display and button backlighting off. This is called the “surveillance” mode.
 Home Button — The Home button is used for restoring preprogrammed mode, establishing 
programmed mode, selecting programming entries, etc. Press the Home button to go to the 
radio’s preprogrammed “home” mode. On the W7 models, you may use the Home button 
instead of Mode switch to change modes. Hold the Home button until a beep sounds to enter 
the configuration state. The display shows an entry prompt. Use the keypad to enter your new 
mode choice and press the Home button again. Your mode is now changed without scrolling.
 Select Button — The Sel button is used to configure radio options.
 Option Buttons — The option buttons are used for turning options on and off, such as Phone, 
Scan, Emergency Call, and Secure.

1-6Introduction: Control Head Descriptions
 Display — The vacuum fluorescent (VF) display’s primary function is to display mode numbers, 
mode names, volume level, and the status of options. It also functions as an on-off indicator for 
the entire system and plays an integral role in the operator’s reconfiguration of options. The 
display is 8 characters on W4, W5, and W7 models; 11 characters on the W9 model. 
 XMIT and BUSY Indicators — The XMIT indicator lights when the radio is transmitting. The 
BUSY indicator lights when the selected channel is busy.
 Scan Indicators — When scan operation detects activity on a non-priority (NON-PRI) channel, 
the NON-PRI indicator light comes on. Activity on a second priority channel causes the priority 
(PRI) indicator to light. First priority channel activity causes PRI to flash.
 12-Button Keypad (W7 and W9) — The keypad is used to change the status of options and for 
entering numbers. Several keys serve multiple functions. See the ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital 
User’s Guide for a complete description of keypad operation.
-Site (Ste - #1 key) — Forces the radio to scan for a new site when the automatic multiple-
site select (AMSS) feature for wide-area coverage is in use.
- Page (2 or 2Pge - #2 Key) — Initiates a Call Alert page/enters Call ID list programming.
-Lock (Lck - #3 key) — Locks the radio onto the current site when the AMSS feature is in 
use.
-Status (Sts - #4 key) — Used alone or in conjunction with other keypad buttons and the Sel 
button to send a status transmission, indicating a predetermined condition change.
- Regroup (Rpg - #5 key) — Requests a change in the radio’s talkgroup assignment when 
the dynamic regrouping feature is used.
- Message (Msg - #6 key) — Used alone or in conjunction with other keypad buttons and the 
Sel button to transmit a message, indicating a response or temporary condition.
- Horn/Lights (H/L - #7 key) — Selects/enables radio external alarms.
- Monitor (Mon - #8 key) — Monitors the radio for channel traffic.
- Direct/Simplex (Dir - #9 key) — Used for talkaround (mobile-to-mobile) conversations.
- Recall (Rcl - * key) — Reviews modes in scan and phone lists.
- Delete (Del - # key) — Used when editing stored lists.
