You will find instructions for setting all of the functions and
programs of the XP8103 to suit your personal preferences. These
features are discussed in the same order that they appear on
your radio, as you will see on the accompanying system
function mode programming charts. An explanation of the use
and purpose of each feature is provided, followed by a labeled
illustration of its respective LCD display.
A blank data sheet has been included at the end of each
section. Once all data has been input for a particular model, it
is highly recommended that you also record it on a copy of the
data sheet provided. If you should experience memory loss or
battery failure, or want to make changes to the current settings,
this step will save you a great deal of time. In the back of this
manual you will find information on precautionary measures and
general guidelines for safe use of your new equipment.

As stated previously, while the XP8103 has a dedicated, or
