Hi John,
The physical installation is listed in the documentation with the
UX-910 1200Mhz Band Unit. If you look on page 73 of the Instruction
Manual for the IC-910H it also gives instructions for installing the
unit. The operational display is explained in the 910H manual on
pages 19-21. Pressing and holding the BAND M/S button the front of
the radio will switch the unselected band in place of one of the
displayed bands. You basically only have to bands that you can
operate at a time.
I hope that I have not confused you. It is explained in the manual.
The manual can be downloaded at the following URL.
