3-4 5100 ES Models II/III Portable Radio Operating Manual March 2008
General Operation
DTMF Keypad Models - Enter the password using the 1-8 keys and then press the
Enter <F2> key when finished. If a mistake is made, the last digit can be erased by
pressing the <F1> (Clear) key.
Limited Keypad Models - Select the proper number for each position by pressing the
Up/Down switch. When the proper number for a position is displayed, select it and
move on to the next position by pressing the <F2> (Enter) key. If the password is less
than eight digits, press <F2> twice after the last digit.
An enhanced password scheme allows up to four power-on (user) passwords, download
and upload passwords, and a master password to be programmed.
The current User password can be changed if the “Set User Password” option switch or
menu parameter is programmed. Selecting this function displays prompts for entering and
confirming a new password. It is recommended that a number key not be used for this
function because the password mode is exited if that key is pressed to enter a number.
Refer to Section 9 for more information on passwords.
3.3 Zone and Channel Select
The selected zone and channel are selected and displayed as follows. For more information
on zones and channels, refer to Section 3.9.4.
3.3.1 Zone Select
The front panel Up/Down switch briefly displays the alias of the current zone. When not in
special modes such as the menu mode, pressing either the top or bottom part of this switch
once displays the alias of the current zone. Then quickly pressing it again changes the
selected zone up or down. The rotary A/B/C switch on the top panel can also be
programmed for zone select. The “A” position then selects Zone 1, “B” Zone 2, and “C”
Zone 3 (if applicable).
After the highest programmed zone is displayed, wrap-around to the lowest programmed
zone occurs and vice versa. The selected zone is also displayed briefly on power up. If the
selected zone alias needs to be displayed continuously, it must be programmed as part of
the channel alias.
