Setting Up the Radio Display and Visual Indicators
to Suite Night Vision Goggles
During tactical nighttime operations of military entities
worldwide, the Night Vision Goggles (NVG) is used to see in the
dark. Your radio is 3rd generation NVG compatible. When the
radio is in NVG display mode, the radio's top display emits a
very low illumination backlight to allow the user to operate the
radio with the goggles on.
REMOVE your NVG if you operate the radio in
non-NVG compatible display mode.
!
Wearing the NVG to operate in non-NVG
a u t i o n
compatible display mode might injure your EYES.
Accessory connected to the radio that is in NVG display mode
such as Display Remote Speaker Microphone (DRSM) has its
backlight always in OFF state.
Intelligent lighting indicators, TX LED and RX LED are all
disabled on both the radio and the connected accessory when
the radio is in NVG display mode.
Get familiar with your radio NVG feature and operation first
before you use it with your Night Vision Goggles.
Note: Please refer to your agent or qualified radio technician
to enable this feature through CPS configuration.
