4-2 Radio Programming: Entering Programming Mode

Although factory programmed with default PublicGroups, DTR Series radios require user-specific programming in order to fully benefit from their digital features.

This occurs in a separate programming mode which allows access to modify and add contacts, update existing and add new quick notes, and access manager features (DTR650 only) such as Remote Disable and Remote Monitoring. A mini keyboard (NNTN5491) is used to enter text into contacts and to modify saved text messages.

The RRDN5378A Cloning Cable allows easier programming as one radio can be programmed with all contact information then duplicated in other radios. All PrivateGroups MUST be programmed on a single radio and cloned either over-the-air or with the cloning cable in order to maintain a single GroupID. This is not a requirement of PublicGroups, but they must still be programmed on the same channel to communicate.

New radios should be cloned using serial cloning. After this occurs, the unit ID can be sent to the other radios or added to PrivateGroups via over-the-air or serial cloning.
