Press the ENTER button to accept the displayed key. The display will return to the HOME PAGE.
When transmitting, and if encryption keys are properly loaded, a tone at the start of the transmission will be
generated by the radio and heard by the operator. Begin speaking AFTER the tone or part of your transmission
will be lost.
When transmitting in the encrypted mode, if you hear a continuous warble tone, this indicates that the
encryption key(s) have not been loaded. Either manually enter encryption keys or perform an OTAR if your
system has that capability.
The newly selected KEYMAT WILL REMAIN even if the channel is changed in effect until power down.
Performing an OTAR
Ensure you are on the HOME PAGE, and the cursor is on the line of the radio you wish to select and an OTAR
capable channel is also selected.
Press the OTAR button. The following illustrates the display when the OTAR button was pressed with radio 1
under cursor control.
To confirm the start of the OTAR, select YES and press the ENTER button to initiate the OTAR process. The
status of the OTAR will be displayed on the radio’s display line. Status messages include “OTAR
REQUESTED”, “OTAR IN PROGRESS”, “OTAR ABORTING”, “OTAR COMPLETE”, and “OTAR
FAILED”.
