Without looking at the radio it is a little hard to diagnose but ill have a go.
There are multiple layers of menu's within the unit and i would
hazard a guess that your's is in there somewhere.
Looking at your display, are any / which of the Underbar Indicators are 'On'?
I im guessing your little one put the unit into FUNCTION MODE then pressed whichever button on your unit is assigned to Channel Lock.
You need to go back into Function mode then press whichever button is assigned to Channel lock but beware you could end up delving deeper into the units menu's causing more unwanted problems.
To go into the Function mode you need to press and hold down the F key for 1 Second, this will enter the Channel Bank selection area. Press the F key down again for 1 Second, this will put you into Function mode. (If you press it again, you will go into Set mode and then it will loop back to the start. Channel Bank > Function > Set > Chann.......)
I would suggest going into Function mode then pressing another different key (not the F key) once for 1 second then waiting, if it is the correct key which has been assigned to Channel Lock then the display should show LOCK ON or LOCK OFF... in which case toggle it so it displays LOCK OFF.
If the channel lock function has been enabled on your unit then the obvious button to use is the SCN button, so i would try that one first. Function mode, SCN for 1 Second...
If you press the wrong key, Do not press any more buttons. Simply wait for a minute for the unit to 'reset' back to Normal Mode then start again > Function Mode, press a different key for 1 Second and so on..........................
BUT, these units are infinitely programmable, without hooking the unit up to a computer running the ICOM programming software there is no way to be 100% sure how it has been setup.
I hope this helps and please let us know how you get on. If the above doesnt work let me know your findings and ill keep thinking about how it might be programed.
