2.2 PROGRAMMING
There are three different ways to program BK Radio radios:
• BY PROGRAMMING MICROPHONE A radio can be programmed with the optional
LAA 290 programming microphone. That procedure is described in this section.
• BY CLONING You can transfer the programmed settings to another radio of the same
frequency band by using a cloning cable. See "Cloning Radio Settings" in section 2.3 of
this manual.
• BY COMPUTER With a computer, DMH programming software LAA 0745, and an LAA
0725 interface cable. That procedure is not described in this manual. Contact BK Radio
for the required programming cable and software.
• BY KEY FILL DEVICE Radios that have been optionally configured for encryption must
have encryption keys loaded with an APCO Project 25 compatible key fill device such as
the Motorola KVL 3000 Plus. The radio can hold up to 32 DES or AES keys.
2.2.1 MICROPHONE PROGRAMMING
1. Select a channel group to be programmed (if applicable) by pressing
the GRP button and rotating the Channel Selector knob. Press the
GRP button again to return to Channel Select mode.
2. Press and hold the far right pushbutton on the front of the radio.
3. While holding the far right pushbutton, press and hold the [FCN] key
on the microphone. After about three seconds the display will show
- - - ID.
4. Release the [FCN] key and the right pushbutton. The radio is now in
the password entry mode.
5. Enter the six-digit password code for the selected group. Without the
correct password code, you cannot proceed with programming.
NOTE: New radios shipped from the factory are assigned the
password code 000000.
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 2 above.
6. Press the [ENT] key to proceed to programming mode. The display
will change to PRG CH 00.
NOTE: YOUR RADIO MAY HAVE BEEN SET UP TO BLOCK
KEYPAD PROGRAMMING ACCESS TO SOME OR ALL
VARIABLES. CONTACT YOUR BK RADIO DEALER IF
YOU FEEL YOU NEED ACCESS TO THESE FIELDS.
