Password Description
9.2.2 Download/Upload Passwords
Separate Download (write) and Upload (read) passwords can be programmed to prevent
unauthorized downloading or uploading of radio programming parameters. When one or
both of these passwords are used, the proper password must be entered to perform the
operation. A “User” password is not required to upload or download parameters.
9.2.3 Master Password
The Master Password overrides all the preceding passwords. It can be used by a system
administrator as a “pass key” to a password controlled function or to change a lost or
inadvertently changed password. Master passwords are set up and changed the same as the
other passwords. It does not override the following Zone Password.
9.3 Zone Password
A zone password can be programmed with the 5300 ES mobile radio. It prevents
unauthorized reprogramming of zones by keypad programming.
Note The programming and usage of this password has not changed. It is independent from the
preceding passwords, and programmed using PC Configure.
