3.1 Connecting a Dual-Radio System to a PC
A dual-radio system connects to a PC via the control head. The exact
connector to use depends on the control head solution.
Notice Do not attempt to connect the programming lead to an RJ45
socket on a radio body. This can cause damage to the connector and the
radio.
■
Single graphical-display control head: Unplug the standard or keypad
microphone, and connect a PC to the microphone port.
■
Hand-held control head: Use the tool provided in the TMAC70 kit or an
8mm AF Allen key to remove the rear programming connector cover,
and connect a PC to the programming connector. For more information,
refer to the instructions provided with the hand-held control head (see
“Associated Documentation” on page 8 ).
