CAUTION

Repeater mode will not keep custom information.

Therefore, if you customize your radios, you may limit

yourself to always programming in radio mode.

Programming Over-The-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. scanner, monitor receiver) tuned to the repeater output frequency. This 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 prompt tone while programming, and all commands send either a "go-ahead" or "error" tone after completion of the command. A "chirp" tone follows a successful command, and a "warble" tone denotes an error. If the programming radio switches slowly from transmit to receive (possibly due to a keypad interdigit transmit hold time), you may program a delay before sending the prompt tones (see the Mic 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 recommend that you listen for the corresponding tones.

NOTE

At any time while programming 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 remains keyed during the program mode to keep other radios from trying to access the 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 prompt tomes.
