4.3.1. Setting the Call Book in Tool Suite
1. In the Tool Suite Configuration application, select the device to program.
2. Click the (2) Call Book tab.
3. In the Number column in Row 0, enter the seven-digit serial number of the radio being
called.
4. In the Repeater 1 column, enter the first Repeater's seven-digit number.
If no Repeaters are being used, leave the column empty.
5. In the Repeater 2 column, enter the second Repeater’s 7-digit number.
If only one Repeater is being used, leave the column empty.
6. If Repeaters are being used, select the appropriate Entry to Call option in the Master Call
Book.
7. To apply the changes, click either the Quick or All icon.
Tool Suite applies the changes to the radio.
