Patent ID: 7136669

Claim:
A multi-function radio communication apparatus comprising: an operator control section including at least one actuator corresponding to a control function and selectively configured to appoint a function setting for said control function; a data storage area including a first data structure for storing at least one baseline function setting appointed by said at least one actuator and a second data structure for storing at least one detected function setting; a microprocessor in communication with said data storage area and said operator control section, said microprocessor being selectively configured to enter into a first mode to record said at least one baseline function setting corresponding to said control function in said first data structure and to enter into a second mode subsequent to said first mode to record said at least one detected function setting corresponding to said control function in said second data structure and compare said settings in said data structures; and an indicator element responsive to a command signal generated from said microprocessor upon a comparison of non-coinciding said data structures to issue a modification notification.
