Radios can be programmed using the RVN5080 Programming Software (also requires the 01015950U15 Programming Cable), or in a separate programming mode.

The separate programming mode allows access to modify and add contacts, update existing and add new quick notes, and access manager features (DTR410 and DTR650 only) such as Remote Disable and Remote Monitoring. A mini keyboard, part number NNTN5491 for DTR650 (53967 for DTR410) is used to enter text into contacts and to modify saved text messages.

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
