C. The LOAD/SAVE/DELETE functions
The LOAD/SAVE functions are used to transfer codeplug data from an archive file into your
computer's memory in order for you to Modify, View, or Print it. The DELETE function allows
you to remove any codeplug data from the computer's memory. (Refer to Figure 13.)
Function Key Descriptions:
F2
Load Radio Personality from Disk - The LOAD function is used to retrieve an
archived file from a diskette or hard disk to the computer. Once retrieved, the file may
be modified via the CHANGE/CREATE/VIEW functions, or programmed into a radio
just as codeplug information read from the radio via the READ/WRITE to radio
function. A menu screen will show up listing files from which you may select.
F3
Save Radio Personality from Disk - The SAVE function is used to create (or update)
an archive copy of the codeplug information onto a diskette or hard disk. An archive
copy of every radio installed or serviced is STRONGLY recommended in order to be
able to quickly restore customer information in case of a codeplug failure. A menu
screen will show up listing files; after saving a file, the new file name will be listed
as well.
F4
Delete Radio Personality from Disk - The REMOVE function will delete an archive
file from diskette or hard disk. A menu screen will show up listing file names;
accessing this function will remove the file you choose from this list.
For all three functions LOAD, SAVE, and DELETE, a screen similar to Figure 17 of SAVE,
will come up. Follow the steps listed below to implement any of these functions:
1.
Select either function keys F2, F3, or F4.
2.
Using the UP/DOWN arrow keys, scroll through the list of file names until you find the
one you wish to either LOAD, SAVE, or DELETE.
3.
Press the appropriate function key to execute the command.
