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.

Radios can be programmed using the Programming Software (00230), which requires the Programming Cable, or in a separate programming mode. The Programming Software is the recommended method for programming DTR Series radios, as it has archive and report capabilities that aid in both initial product configuration and fleet maintenance.

The separate programming mode allows access to modify and add contacts, update existing and add new quick notes, and access manager features (DTR2450 only) such as Remote Disable and Remote Monitoring. A mini keyboard is used to enter text into contacts and to modify saved text messages.
