Instructions
The directions below are designed to give you an overview of the radio
programming procedure. Use the sample chart for a Conventional
radio on page 30 to record the features that you wish to program into
your radio. Refer to Appendix F for a blank form you can use for other
Conventional radios.

read the codeplug:

will keep you updated as to how much of the codeplug has been
read.
Program Radio-Wide
Features
After the ASTRO radio's codeplug data is read, the RSS will allow you
to access the CHANGE/VIEW MENU. From this menu, you can
program the features you desire for each channel, and the ones you
want to be common to all channels. First, program the common (radio
wide) features.
NOTE: Some screens cannot be accessed and many parameters will
be at factory default values which are suitable in most cases.
