Factory Reset Feature

This feature is intended to allow you to erase certain pro-
grammable parameters and restore the radio to the factory
default settings. The radio, upon reset, clears all memory
channels stored in the non-volatile memory area, clears all
phone number storage locations, and restores the default set-
tings to the different user-modifiable parameters (coded
squelch type, squelch level, channel-step size, etc.).

NOTE

The Factory Reset feature does not clear the
IDs or access/de-access codes, nor does it
change the Option Board Setup setting.

With the radio in Special Programming Mode, press
and hold the PTT Button.

While holding PTT, press

sequence.

As the sequence is entered, the LCD Screen (which is ini-
tially cleared) displays an’o’ for each digit entered.

Any incorrect digit entered results in an invalid
keypress tone, the LCD Screen is cleared again
and you must reenter the sequence, starting with
the first digit.

Once the sequence has been entered successfully, the LCD
Screen displays the prompt

, indicating that the reset

procedure is ready to be activated.

Press the Enter Button to confirm the reset process.
Pressing any other key or releasing the PTT Button
cancels the process and returns the radio to the SPM
Browse menu.

The display blanks when the reset is in progress.

When the process is successfully completed, the
LCD Screen displays

and a ringing reset

tone sequence sounds.
