SECTION VI. HRCRD OPERATIONS
GENERAL:
The HRCRD is used with the SINCGARS manpack radio,
AN/PRC-119A/D/F, and dismount kits of vehicular radios
AN/VRC-88A/D/F and -91A/D/F.
RADIO CONTROL
Using the HRCRD, a manpack radio operator can control the
Channel, RF Power, Mode, and COMSEC functions of the
radio, without requiring access to the RT RT FCTN switch must
be set to REM for HRCRD to be functional.
VOLUME
The level of audio volume at the HRCRD can be adjusted by
use of the thumb wheel on the side of the HRCRD.
BACK LIGHT
The HRCRD back light can be turned on with one press of the
round light button. A second press of the light button turns the
back light off.
CABLING
The cable of the HRCRD forms a “Y," with one end connected
to the RT AUD/DATA or AUD/FILL port. The other end is
connected to the 6-pin connector on Battery Box CY-8523C or
the AUX connector of the RT-1523E. This battery box is
required for use of the HRCRD in normal manpack radio
configuration.
RT KEYPAD
Access to the RT Front Panel is required whenever it is
necessary to change the FCTN switch, to adjust audio volume
at the RT, and to change the light level in the RT display
