4-2 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 RVN5080 Programming Software (also requires the
01015950U15 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 (DTR410 and DTR650 only) such as Remote
Disable and Remote Monitoring. A mini keyboard, part number NNTN5491 for DTR650 (53967 for
DTR410) is used to enter text into contacts and to modify saved text messages.
The Cloning Cable, part number RRDN5378A for DTR550/650 (53968 for DTR410) allows easier
programming as one radio can be programmed with all contact information then duplicated in other
radios. All PrivateGroups MUST be programmed on a single radio and cloned either over-the-air or
with the cloning cable in order to maintain a single GroupID. This is not a requirement of
PublicGroups, but they must still be programmed on the same channel to communicate.
New radios should be cloned using serial cloning. After this occurs, the unit ID can be sent to the
other radios or added to PrivateGroups via over-the-air or serial cloning.
