Programming Over-T he-Air
You can program the ZR310 using a portable radio with a DTMF keypad. While programming the unit. it is helpful, but not required, to have
a secondary receiver (i.e. scan ner, monitor receiver) tun ed to the repeater output frequency. Th is enables you to hear the prompt tones
generated by the ZR310. The access code is user-programmable (System Programming, in this section).
All numbers may be entered with or without leading zeros (i.e. the number 1 may be entered as 0001#, 001#, 01# 1#). Some commands send
a progress or prom pt tone while prog ramming, and al l commands send ei ther a "go-ahead " or "error" ton e after completion of the command.
A "chirp" tone follows a successfu l command, and a "warble" ton e denotes an error. If the programmin g radio switches slowly from transmit
to receive (possibly due to a keypa d interdigit transmit hol d time), you may program a delay before sen ding the prompt tones (see the Mi c
Hold command). Although you do not have to wait for each prompt tone before entering the next command (because all commands are
internally buffered), we r ecommend that you listen for the cor responding tones.
NOTE
At any time while pr ogramming the unit, if no DTMF key
is pressed for 90 seconds, the ZR310 will exit program
mode automatically.
Entering the Program Mode
The transmit radio remain s keyed during the program mode to keep oth er radios from trying to access th e system and interface with
programming. A command is provided to unkey the transmit radio (diagnostic commands), and if this command is selected, the radio will
key only to send pr ompt tomes.
