4-2 Programming the Radio: Entering Programming Mode
Although factory programmed with default PublicGroups, your radio require user-specific
programming in order to fully benefit from its digital features.
This occurs in a separate programming mode which allows access to modify and add contacts,
update existing and add new quick notes, and access manager features such as Remote Disable
and Remote Monitoring. A mini keyboard (53967) is used to enter text into contacts and to modify
saved text messages.
The 53968 Cloning Cable allows easier programming as one radio can be programmed with all
contact information then duplicated in other radios. The radio also have an over-the-air cloning
feature to send a contact to another radio.
New radios should be cloned using serial cloning. After this occurs, the unit ID can be sent to the
other radios via over-the-air or serial cloning.
