The
FT-2900R
provides a password feature which can minimize the chance that your trans-
ceiver could be used by an unauthorized party.
When the password feature is activated, the radio will ask for the four digit password to be
entered when the radio is first turned on. You must enter the four digit password from the
Microphone’s keypad. If the wrong password is entered, the microprocessor will shut down
the radio automatically.
To enter the password and activating this feature, use the following procedure:
1. Press and hold in the [
MHz
(
SET

rotate the

the password, as well as all memories, and will restore all other settings to factory de-
faults.
