Radio Programming: Adding Contacts

Programming a Unit ID (Private Calls Only)

The unit ID of a private contact can be read over the air or entered using the mini keyboard. There are two procedures to enter an PID.

To read it in over the air (as pictured) refer to bullet 1 and follow the on-screen text to transmit the ID from another radio. In addition to the ID, the non-default name, channel, home group, and ringer for Gen3 radio are transmitted. to the receiving radio.

To enter the ID using the mini keyboard, refer to bullet 2.

1. Scroll to select ID and press under Read. The ID screen appears.

2. Use the mini keyboard to enter an 11 digit ID. When the mini keyboard is connected, the left

becomes Change. After entering the ID, press under Ok to confirm the entry and to return to the previous screen with the ID entered.

Selecting a Group ID

When programming a new PublicGroup, press under Change to select a PublicGroup ID from 1-50 for DTR410 or 1-100 for DTR550/650. IDs already in use on your radio are preceded by an “x”.

When programming a new PrivateGroup (DTR550 or DTR650 only), the radio selects your GroupID

from your contact list. Press under Change to select another Group ID. Since the default GroupID is dependent upon the contact list of all radios being the same, it is recommended to clone PrivateGroups to other radios.

Entering a Home Group Number

If a Home Group is selected for your radio, then it returns to that Group after 30 seconds of inactivity. This ensures that any transmissions on this channel are not missed. Selecting a Home Group also automatically adds the contact to that PrivateGroup.

1.Scroll to select the Home Group Number and press under Change. The Home Group screen appears.
