When an attempt is made to select a system or channel parameter in a password protected
zone, “Password” is flashed. The password is always eight digits long and is entered using
the same procedure as used for the power-up password described below. After the
password is entered, system and channel parameters for that zone can be reprogrammed
normally.

The password can be 1-8 digits in length, and consists of digits 0-9. It is entered as
follows. If an incorrect password is entered, “Incorrect” is displayed and it must be re-
entered. A password of 0 deactivates the feature.
