Make sure the radio has:
•
Fully charged battery
•
Antenna attached
•
Personality and radio programmed using RPM2
•
Encryption keys loaded if using encrypted channels

5.3 POWER ON AND SET VOLUME
The power switch and volume control are the same knob on top of the radio (see Figure 5-1).
Turn the Power/Volume Knob clockwise to power on radio and increase the volume. The radio
can be programmed to play an audible tone when changing the volume.
A minimum volume level can be programmed into the radio to prevent missed calls
due to a low volume setting. Rated audio is 1.5 W at volume 12.
The radio can be programmed to require the entry of a PIN to operate the radio.
Check with your System Administrator if you forget your PIN. As the PIN is entered,
an asterisk is displayed for each digit; the actual value is not displayed.
5.4 VIDA ID
VIDA ID provides the capability to provision the VIDA User Personality configured in the UAS to
radios operating on P25 networks via a User Login. Each personality can contain up to 16 profiles
and each profile can contain up to sixteen Talk Groups. Refer to Section 10.1 for a list of potential
login and provisioning error messages and what to do if they occur.
5.4.1 User Login
User Login enables multiple radio users to pick a radio from a fleet pool and enter unique
credentials to log into the P25 system. Upon successful login, the Alias associated with the radio
user is displayed at various end points in the P25 system.
A user can login on up to three (3) devices simultaneously. For example, if the “same user” is
logged into a portable radio and mobile radio, the P25 system can differentiate the subscribers
while transparently displaying the alias to other users.
Login can be initiated by a menu option, a button programmed for user login, or by selecting a
P25 system that requires login. To login manually:
1. From the
UTILITY
radio menu, select
USER LOGIN
, or press the button programmed for User
Login.
2. Enter the
System ID
,
User ID
, and
Password
