HOW TO PROGRAM RADIOS There are three different ways to program Bendix/King radios: * ** ** By Keyboard A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can be programmed by using its keyboard and a programming plug or cloning cable. See “Keyboard Programming” on page 2. By Cloning A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can transfer its programmed settings to another radio of the same frequency band by using a cloning cable.
KEYBOARD PROGRAMMING This section describes the procedures for programming Bendix/King radios equipped with a keyboard and LCD display. Most of these procedures are the same for diff erent types and models, with exceptions noted where necessary. Required equipment includes: Portable radios --------------- programming plug or cloning cable ENB and LMH mobiles ----- cloning cable EMV and EMH mobiles----- LAA0290 keyboard microphone, when available 1.
NOTE: The same password code is used for all groups in the radio. New radios are shipped from the factory with the password code 000000 assigned. While entering the password code the display will not change, but a beep will sound for each key pressed. If the password code is entered incorrectly, the radio will reset to normal operation. Try again, starting at step 4. 9. To keep the password unchanged, press the [ENT] key and continue with normal radio programming.
Press the [FCN] key repeatedly to view the settings in Channel 0, then loop back to the Ch 00 entry point. Channel 0 settings include: Automatic Number Identification (ANI) Transmitter Time Out Timer Scan Delay Time Group One functions: Battery Saver Priority Scan Operation Priority Key Lockout Scan List Lockout ! Group Two functions: PRG 3 *- Q-Jlj5 c .--_---____.
AUTOMATIC NUMBER IDENTIFICATION (ANI) A. _-_-_-----~ --After entering the programming mode the FRG LCD will display PRG Ch 00 r Lh EE (Alphanumeric) or PROG CH 0 ~__-_-_---~- -- I (7-Segment). Press the [FCN] key. The display will indicatethe AN I ID number (as many as seven digits may be used). The ID number can be used for either radio management or transmitted as a DTMF tone burst for ANI purposes. The ANI can be enabled or disabled. See “ANI ENABLE” on page I0.
TRANSMITTER TIME OUT TIMER After the ID number is set, the display annunciator will indicate PRG TX. This is the duration of the transmitter Time Out Timer. 0 SEC means the Time Out Timer is disabled. Press the [PRI] key to increase the Time Out Timer duration by 15 seconds, with a maximum of 225 seconds (3 minutes, 45 seconds). Press the [PRI] key again to change the duration from 225 seconds to zero. Press the [CLR] key to set the Time Out Timer duration to zero.
CHANNEL 0 GROUP ONE SETTINGS 1pRG y-- yc7395, After the scan delay time is set the LCD will display PRG l-12345. This is a group of five individual functions that can be enabled or disabled. When a function is enabled, the corresponding number in the display will flash. When the function is disabled the number is steady. To change the function from enabled to disabled or vice versa, press the number key corresponding to that function.
B. PRIORITY SCAN Functions 2 and 3 are used to define Priority Scan operation. There are three modes of Priority Scan available. They are described in greater detail in the Owner’s Manual and Service Manual. PRG L 7 -0 $33ljrj - ----- ---.-.-- ----____ Priority Mode A - The Priority Channel follows the position of the Channel Selector knob. Priority Mode B -- The Priority Channel is fixed. You will transmit on the channel selected by the Channel Selector knob.
D. SCAN LIST LOCKOUT When function 5 is enabled (flashing), the user will not be able to change thechannels in the scan list. When disabled (steady), the user can enter or delete channels from the scan list. See “Change the Scan List” in the Owner’s Manual. E. STORE GROUP ONE SETTINGS Once each function l-5 is set as desired, you can store the changes, discard the changes, or disable all 5 functions. Press the [CLR] key to disable all Group One functions (steady).
B. BUSY CHANNEL OPERATION NOTE: Group two functions two through five do not apply to LPH and LMH Series radios Functions two and three are used to set Busy Channel operation. There are three types of busy channel operation available: Busy Channel Indicator - The yellow LED illuminates when a signal is received on the channel selected, with or without the programmed receive Code Guard setting.
gj D. NOTE: When functions 4 and 5 are both enabled (flashing) the ANI tone sequence will be transmitted only after the [ENT] key is pressed while the transmit PTT switch is activated. A sidetone of the ANI number transmitted will also be heard through the speaker. DTMF ENABLE When function 5 is enabled (flashing) the keypad becomes active for manual DTM F operation. E.
CHANNEL 0 GROUP THREE SETTINGS Group three functions are available only with Alphanumeric displays After Group Two functions are set, the LCD will display PRG 3-12345 for Group Three functions. As with Group One and Group Two functions, theenabledfunction number will flash. The disabled functions remain steady. BACKLIGHT ON MAIN CHANNEL ACTIVITY When function 1 is enabled (flashing) the LCD backlight will illuminate each time the display receives input related to the main channel.
C. BACKLIGHT ON OTHER DISPLAY ACTIVITY When function 3 is enabled (flashing) the LCD backlight will illuminate each time the display receives input not related to the main or scan channel. This is not used often, but includes the - - - ID prompt for password input. The LCD will not illuminate if backlight duration is set to LITE OFF. See “Backlight Duration” on page 14. D.
BACKLIGHT DURATION Display backlighting is available only with Alphanumeric displays. After Group Three functions, the LCD displays the current backlight duration setting. Available settings are LITE OFF, 1 SEC ON, one second increments up to 6 SEC ON, and LITE ON. If no change is needed, press the [FCN] key to advance to the next section. Press the [CLR] key to set backlight duration to zero and display LITE OFF.
GROUP LABELS After the Backlight Duration setting, the LCD displays the current label for the channel group. Each channel group can have a label of up to eight characters or spaces. If no change is needed, press the [FCN] key to advance to the starting point for Channel 0 settings. 1. To enter a new label, press the [CLR] key. The display becomes blank. 2. Press the [PRI] key repeatedly to cycle through characters 0 - 9, A - Z, -, *, $,/, +,%,\, |,_, c, >, h, blank, then back tot he start again.
CHANNEL SETTINGS At the starting point for Channel 0, the LCD will display PRG Ch 00. At this point, a channel number can now be pressed to allow access to the frequency, Code Guard values, and alphanumeric label for that channel. NOTE: 1 A valid receive frequency must be programmed into each channel intended for use.
If the displayed value is correct, press the [FCN] key to advance to the next value. To enter a new value, press the [CLR] key to reset the display to 0.0. Press the number keys 0 through 9 to enter a Tone Code Guard value. See “Tone Code Guard Values” on page 24. PRG INDICATES RX CG INVERTED TRANSMIT I I CODE To enter a Digital Code Guard value press the [#] key, causing the letter D to appear followed by three zeros.
To enter a new value, press the [CLR] key to reset the display to 0.0. Press the number keys to enter a Tone Code Guard value. See “Tone Code Guard Values” on page 24. To enter Digital Code Guard, first press the [CLR] key, then the [#] key, causing the letter D to appear followed by three zeros Enter the desired digital code using keys 0 thru 7 (keys 8 & 9 do not respond). See “Digital Code Guard Values” on page 2 5.
EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE 1. Rotate the On/Off/Volume knob on the top of the radio counterclockwise to the Off position 2. Remove the programming plug. 3. The radio will be in normal operation mode the next time it is turned on. SELECTING A GROUP For a 21 O-channel radio, Channel 0 settings affect one “group” of 14 channels. Each group must be programmed separately. To select a group for programming, perform the following steps: 1.
CLONING RADIO SETTINGS A radio with a keyboard and LCD display can transfer its programmed settings to another radio by using a cloning cable. Both units must be of the same frequency band. For example, an EPH series VHF radio can transfer settings to or from an LPH or LMH series radio. An EPV series UHF radio can transfer settings to or from an LPV or EMV series radio. A radio cannot transfer Alphanumeric display settings, including channel labels, group labels, and Channel 0 Group Three functions.
10. Press the [FCN] key. The program in the Master will download to the clone. The clone will send back the program to the Master to verify successful cloning. g pm L \\\ \ I T, I/// ,~fFJ LL \ \\\ ////I\\\\ 11. If the download was successful, the Master radio will resume flashing PROG. Turn off the clone radio. Disconnect the cable. Normal radio operation will occur the next time the clone radio is turned on. 12.
SPECIAL CLONING INSTRUCTIONS It is possible to change Channel 0 values on the Master radio, hold them in a temporary memory, and download them to the clone without actually entering them into the permanent memory of the Master radio. This is convenient for sequential identification numbers used to identify a series of portables in a radio system.
6. Press the [PRI] key. This will increment the ID number one digit to 126. NOTE: Any new number can be entered at this point by pressing the [CLR] key and using the digit keys to enter the new number. 7. Press the [*] key. Connect the cable to the second clone and download by pressing [FCN]. Any number of radios can be coded with different or sequential ID numbers using this technique. The ID number in the permanent memory of the Master radio will remain unchanged as 100.
TONE CODE GUARD VALUES The tone Code Guard system may be set for any frequency in the range of 67 to 255.9 Hz, However, since most systems adhere to the Electronic industry Association (EIA) standards, tones should be selected from the following EIA list. In order to insureoptimum performance, tone selection for use on the same radio frequency (RF) channel or adjacent channels in the same coverage area should be made from one of the Groups A, B, or C to the maximum degree possible.
DIGITAL CODE GUARD VALUES Codes for the Digital Code Guard system may be chosen from the following list. Since there are no EIA standards for the performance or compatibility of Digital Code Guard systems it is recommended that an operational test be made on the intended system before wholesale assignments are made. In some cases either or both the transmit and receive codes will require an inverted code to operate with existing systems. This can bedoneduring the code programming of the system.
