MTS2000 Top Display Issue

[efrudirector]

Our department uses the MTS2000 model radios, a few of which are the type I, top display, models. Recently, on one of these models, the display has flipped (it now displays the channels upsidedown from what is was for years previous). No one is quite sure how it happened, and no one knows how to fix it. Any thoughts?

Try holding one of the side buttons down. It has been too long since I set one up to recall exactly but I think it's a programmable function.

It is a programmable function. Typicially it is a "push and hold" function of one or more of the buttons. Unless you can read the radio or have one of the archives of the codeplug to put in RSS/CPS it will be a hit or miss kinda thing.

I figured it was a button thing, but I've pushed and held every button in every combination and nothing is working so far.

As far as manuals go.... I'm not sure why but they're really hard to find at all for motorolas, and when I do the mts2000 is never one of them. I'll try calling, I guess, just figured someone here might have had this issue before.

Thanks.

of course as soon as I post that, I push the buttons again for one last try and now it's fixed. I didn't do anything different than what I did yesterday, guess the timing just wasn't right!

If this does happen to anyone else, push and hold the black button on the left side just above the PTT button (the one with two raised bumps on it).

On all the Motorola top display models, push and hold the blue button on the side of the radio ( side button 1) for >2 seconds and the display will flip.

and with a Visar you push both channel buttons at the same time, but this has to be turned on in RSS, otherwise it won't work.

Usually the blue button is set for light, but whatevere button is set for light on, as mentioned above, hold it in for several seconds and the display should revert. When use normally , just a touch it turns display light on and off, when held in it inverts/ reverts light
