A. About This Guide

The SABER portable radio contains a new generation of advanced integrated circuits with all rf

and signalling parameters controlled by the radio's microprocessor. This Radio Service Software

package is required to perform all alignment adjustments on the radio. The SABER radio does

not contain any internal adjustable components (i.e. coils, pots, etc...). This guide gives you

step-by-step procedures that teach you how to use this software product to program and align

SABER radios. The radio models supported by this field programmer are explained in

Appendix -4.

Instructions for the following tasks are provided in this guide :

• The Help Screen

• Servicing The Radio

• Get/Save/Program Codeplug Data From/To Disk/Codeplug

• Change/Create/View Radio Codeplug Data

• Print Codeplug Data

• Setup Computer Configuration

The file that is created, loaded from a database, saved to a database, or modified, refers to a

data file called the Radio Personality File that contains the customer personality information.

Database, here, refers to a computer storage media such as a hard disk drive or a floppy disk.

The data files are stored in, or retrieved from the database using the factory order number or any

other name as the file name.

This user's manual has been written for the SABER Radio Service Software and provides

detailed explanations on how to use this software package. Files that are programmed into

radios can also be read back to review the personality of the radio. This capability can be

valuable as an aid to generate an order for more of the same type of radio if no hard copy of the

original order is available. As an added benefit, the system serves to automatically archive the

files, if stored, for future reference or for the generation of new orders.

B. Functions Performed
