GENERAL OPERATION
19
• If key press tones are enabled (see page 23), a short tone sounds when
front panel keys are pressed.
• If a conventional channel is selected and the Monitor option switch is
programmed (see page 31), pressing that switch unsquelches/squelches
the receiver and either voice or background noise is heard. If a
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is selected, the receiver cannot be
manually unsquelched.
Power-Up Password
General
The power-up password feature prevents unauthorized use of the
transceiver. When it is enabled by system operator programming, an
eight-digit password must be entered to make the transceiver operational
each time power is turned on. Passwords can be entered even if the key-
pad is locked (see “Keypad Lock” on page 21). The default password is
eight zeros (00000000).
If this feature is enabled, proceed as follows to unlock the radio:
1. Turn radio power on and when “LOCKED” is displayed, enter the
eight-digit numeric password using the keypad. As each digit is
entered, a dash is displayed. If an incorrect digit is entered, press the
F3
key and re-enter the entire password.
2. When all eight digits have been entered, press the
F4 key. If the pass-
word is correct, the display indicates normal zone and then channel
information. If an incorrect password is entered, “LOCKED” is again
displayed.
Changing Password
The current password can be changed as follows:
1. The locked mode must be selected to change the password, so cycle
power if necessary to display “LOCKED”.
