2.15 CONFIGURATION MENU
Some features of the TDFM-600/6000 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the
configuration menu, turn the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW and TSW keys. Hold the keys
until the display reads ‘Configuration Menu’. The first menu item to show will be ‘Knob Default’. Rotating the left
knob will toggle back and forth between ‘volume’ and ‘channel’. This will select which mode the knobs will be in
when you select a band or when the radio is first turned on. Press the left knob to accept the desired setting. The
next menu item is ‘Recall Mode’. Rotating the left knob will enable and disable this feature. When enabled, a
recall mode is added to the available knob functions. Press the left knob to accept the desired setting. The last
menu item is the ‘Auto reset’ function. Rotating the left knob will toggle the function ‘enabled’ or ‘disabled’. This
function should be left enabled. However, if a module has failed or has been removed from the radio, this feature
should be disabled to prevent the radio from continuously trying to establish communication with the missing or
failed module. Press the left knob to accept the setting. The radio will then power up normally. The radio will keep
these settings until they are changed again by the configuration menu.
2.16 FLASH UPGRADE MODE
On occasion it may be required to flash upgrade one or more of the modules in the radio to change or add new
features. This can be done using the Motorola RIB box and software supplied in a Motorola flash upgrade kit. The
transceiver must be put into flash upgrade mode by turning on the radio while holding the HOME key. Select the
band to be upgraded by pressing the desired band knob. Follow the software instructions. During the flash
procedure, the software will ask you to turn off and on the radio, use the RESET soft key, do not turn off the
transceiver.
