TDFM-7300 Installation & Operating Instructions 

TiL 08RE389 Rev A Issue 4

2-11 

 

Squelch Blink -  

When disabled, the squelch indicator lights will function normally. 
When enabled, the squelch lights will stay lit while a signal is 
present and then blink for a couple of seconds after the signal 
disappears. This can help to determine which band made the last 
call. 

Boot Speed -  

When set to quick, some boot up messages will be skipped. When 
set to normal, all messages will be displayed. 

Panel Lighting –  

Select 28 volts DC or 5 volts AC. No damage will occur if the 
wrong setting is made. 

F1-F4 Keys –  

If set to normal, the keys will emulate the side buttons on the 
portable. If set to channels, the keys become quick channel load 
keys. The channels can be programmed in the second function 
menu. 

Sidetone 1 Level –  

Sets the sidetone level for band 1. The microphone and headphone 
audio becomes live while in this mode to facilitate setting to a 
comfortable level 

Sidetone 2 Level –  

Sets the sidetone level for band 2 

Sidetone 3 Level –  

Sets the sidetone level for band 3 

Sidetone 4 Level –  

Sets the sidetone level for band 4 

Sidetone 5 Level –  

Sets the sidetone level for band 5 

 
Press the knob to accept the setting. The radio will then power up normally. The radio will 
keep these settings until they are changed again by the configuration menu. 

 
 

2.18 KEYLOADING 

MODE 

If the TDFM 7300 is equipped with hardware encryption, then the Encryption keys will need 
to be loaded using a Motorola KVL 3000+® Keyloader. 
 
Keyloading must be done by putting the transceiver into flash upgrade mode by turning on 
the radio while holding the HOME key. Select the band to be keyed-loaded by pressing the 
BAND key. Press the RESET Key to reset the modules and to put them into keyload mode. 
Wait until the display returns to the “Flash Upgrade mode” Power up the keyloader and plug 
the cable into the 7300 Program port. Follow the Motorola Keyloader instructions for 
uploading the actual keys to the radio. 
 
If other bands require keys, press the BAND key to select the next module, wait 1 second 
for the module to sense the keyloader, then upload the key(s). 
 
When keyloading is done, remove the keyloader cable and press the EXIT key to reboot the 
transceiver back to normal operation
