March, 1997 6881086C09-O 4-1 Section 4 Radio Programming Information Overview of the Programming Process NOTE This section assumes that you have read the GP68 User Manual, and have understood the basic operation of this radio. To prepare properly programmed radios for your customers, you should 1. set your radio (Dealer Õs radio) into Dealer Programming Mode, 2. program your radio with all the necessary parameters, as required by your customers, and then 3. clone these parameters over to all your cus- tomersÕ radios (the User Õs radios) Setting the Radio to Dealer Programming Mode To set the Dealer’s radio to Dealer Programming Mode, remove jumper R417 (Figure 4-1). With this programming function enabled, the dealer can • program all the required channel parameters, such as which channels should be on the scan list, and the received and transmit frequencies for a particular channel. ¥ clone the programmed settings over to a User Õs radio. NOTE If the battery power is low, the radio, the radio would display , to indicate that the bat- tery needs to be recharged or replaced. IMPORTANT If the DealerÕs radio is to be given to the cus- tomer, remember to replace R417 with a 51K resistor to disable the programming function.

Tuning and alignment information are not affected by cloning. Parameters which are cloned When a Dealer Configuration GP60 Series radio is used as the master, the following parameters are cloned: •Channel Settings: Rx and Tx frequencies, Offsets, Receive and Transmit PL/DPL Codes, Default Squelch Mode. •Active User Parameters: High/Low Power Setting, Squelch Level, Current Channel Selection. •SPM Parameters: All User Modifiable parameters. Additionally, when cloning the GP68 radios, the following parameters are also cloned: •Active User Parameters: PTT ID Transmit Enable/ Disable •Phone Memories. •SPM Parameters: User Modifiable parameters like including Phone Access/De-access Codes, as well as all dealer configured DTMF IDs (PTT, Individual, Ack, Group, and All IDs). •Option Board Setting configured through the Option Board Setup Mode. Option Board Setup Mode The Option Board Setting should be set to OPTION OFF ( ´OPt.OFF´ ) in the Dealer’s radio while programming chan- nels to avoid any interaction with pre-installed option boards. However, since the Signalling Squelch Mode can only be accessed if the option board setting is not OPTION OFF (not ´OPt.OFF´ ), it is recommended that any option board be installed in the Dealer’s radio only after all the user configuration is completed. Turn the radio on while holding down , and keep holding until the radio sounds a ringing Option Board Setup Mode start-up tone (takes about 3 seconds). NOTE At power-up, all display segments light for about 2 seconds, followed by a brief display of the software version which is installed in your radio. If the battery voltage level is low, the display indicates , the ´BATT´ indicator flashes and the radio sounds a low battery alert tone. You must turn off the radio and replace, or recharge, the batteries. If the batteries are above the threshold level, the radio enters the Option Board Setup Mode and the LCD dis- plays the current option board setting ( OPt.OFF, SEL.CAL, dECOdE, SEriAL ). You can select among the four options by using and to scroll through the options. See Section 3 of this manual for more details. Parameters which are not cloned •All hardware tuning and alignment parameters •Unit Serial Number NOTE When cloning the GP68 Keypad Model, the Full Serial Option Board Configuration Data (if any, which are stored in Signalling System One or in Full Serial Option Board) is not cloned. NOTE Cloning will take approximately 3-5 seconds. If any of the radios is turned off while clon- ing, the other radio will display an error after 3 seconds (refer to Table 4-1, Cloning Error Messages, on page 4-3 for explanation of error messages). To Clone a Radio Connect both radios with the cloning cable through the SCI ports. Turn on the slave radio. Turn on the master radio while pressing . The master radio will display the following message (Figure 4-3) if cloning can proceed, otherwise an error message will be shown (refer to Table 4-1, Cloning Error Messages, on page 4-3). 1 2 Figure 4-2Cloning a Radio.

4-4 6881086C09-OMarch, 1997 Radio Programming InformationGP68 Portable Radios Service Manual Programming the GP68 Radio Programming the GP68 Radio Operator Controls and Indicators When programming is enabled, certain buttons have addi- tional functions: • - Used to program the squelch level (quick press) or PL/DPL code (long press). During DTMF dialing, or editing of phone number and IDs, this key specifies DTMF digit ‘ B ’. • -Toggles between High and Low transmit power levels (quick press); also used to program the frequency step size (long press). During DTMF dial- ing, or editing of phone number and IDs, this key specifies DTMF digit ‘ C ’. • - Toggles between Megahertz(MHz) Mode (Frequency display) and Channel Mode (Channel display). When editing phone numbers and IDs, this key acts as a backspace (rubout) key. • - Selects the TX (repeater) offset frequency type. When editing phone numbers and IDs, this key scrolls the display to the left. Programming the Radio Parameters All programming functions are performed while the radio is in the Megahertz (MHz) Mode (Frequency Display). If the radio is in Channel Mode (Channel Display), momentarily press to enter the MHz mode. To Program a Channel There are twenty memory channels available. Each memory channel consists of a receive/transmit frequency pair, the type of TX offset, the offset frequency, the Receive PL/DPL Code, the Transmit PL/DPL Code, and the default Squelch Mode Setting (CSQ, CTCSS and Signalling Squelch). If required, momentarily press to enter the MHz mode. Select the desired frequency, type of TX offset and off- set frequency (see page 4-5 onwards). Press and hold the Enter Button for 3 seconds. The LCD displays the following to prompt you to select the channel number (Figure 4-6). The channel number flashes if it is unprogrammed, but lights continuously if it is programmed. Use the Channel Selector Knob to select the desired channel number. Momentarily press the Enter Button again to program the selected memory channel. The radio remains in MHz mode after successful program- ming of the channel. WARNING If the selected memory channel was already programmed (channel number lit continu- ously), the new frequency information over- writes the previous information in memory. To Verify a Programmed Channel All the data for a programmed channel (receive and transmit frequencies, TX offset type, offset frequency, receive and transmit PL/DPL codes, and default Squelch Mode Setting) can be copied over into the MHz mode for verification. If required, momentarily press to enter the Mem- ory mode. Rotate the Channel Selector Knob to the desired mem- ory channel number. Press and hold the Enter Button for 3 seconds.

March, 19976881086C09-O 4-5 GP68 Portable Radios Service ManualRadio Programming Information Programming the GP68 Radio A valid keypress tone sounds when the memory channel data has been successfully copied over to the MHz mode. To Enable or Disable PTT ID Transmission The radio transmits a programmable DTMF identification code (unit ID), indicating which portable is in operation. The PTT ID can be edited using the S pecial Programming Mode (see page 4-10). During a conversation, the code is normally sent only on the initial PTT press (unless PTT ID has been disabled). The ‘ TX ’ indicator lights for the duration of the PTT ID. If there is no PTT or receive activity for 7 seconds, or if you change the frequency or channel (or scan resumes), the PTT ID is once again transmitted on the next PTT press. NOTE PTT ID can be enabled/disabled by pressing and holding . Upon pressing the button you will hear a beep; hold the button down until you hear a second beep, indicating that the PTT ID status has been changed, then release the button. When PTT ID is disabled , the “dot” indicator flashes on the display. To Change the Default Squelch Modes Carrier squelch (CSQ), Tone Private-Line (PL) and Digital Private-Line (DPL) operations are configurable on a per channel basis. If an option board is installed, Signalling squelch (SelCall) operation will also be configurable on a per channel basis. If the Squelch Mode is set in Megahertz mode, then it will become the channel’s default squelch mode when the information is programmed into a channel. To change squelch modes temporarily for a channel: Momentarily press to change between CSQ, Coded (PL/DPL) and Signalling squelch modes. IMPORTANT Squelch modes reset to the previous pro- grammed values when the channel is changed. Squelch mode changes in MHz mode are permanent. When ‘ CTCSS ’ is off, the radio operates in CSQ mode. In this mode, you will hear all conversations on the selected receive channel. When ‘ CTCSS ’ is on continuously, the radio operates in Coded (PL/DPL) squelch mode. In this mode, you will hearonly those conversations on the selected receive channel which have the same PL/DPL code as your radio. When ‘ CTCSS ’ is flashing (which requires that an option board is selected first via the Option Board Setup Mode), the radio operates in Signalling squelch mode, and unmutes only after a valid Voice Selective Call (SelCall) has been decoded. The radio automatically enters CSQ mode for a period of time. If there is no receive activity, the radio resumes Signal- ling squelch mode and the LCD reverts to the appropriate receive mode display. When transmitting in Signalling squelch mode, PL/DPL is transmitted if the Transmit PL/DPL code is non-zero (unless the Transmit PL/DPL is programmed for ‘ 000 ’). After PTT is released, the radio automatically enters CSQ mode for a period of time. If there is no receive activity, the radio resumes Signalling Squelch mode. No visual indication is given. Refer to Receiving a Voice Selective Call in the User’s Manual for more information on this squelch mode. NOTE A radio equipped with a Voice SelCall option operating in the PL/DPL mode unmutes for the correct PL/DPL code, or if a SelCall is decoded. To Select the Frequency Step Size The frequency step size determines the incremental steps that the receiver will take when you rotate the Channel Selector Knob , or when the radio is scanning the frequency band. The available frequency step sizes are 5, 10, 12.5, 15, 20, and 25 KHz. Press and hold until the display indicates the cur- rent frequency step size (takes about 3 seconds). For example, the following display (Figure 4-10) represents a frequency step size of 12.5 KHz. Rotate the Channel Selector Knob to scroll through the available frequency steps until the desired frequency step size is displayed. Figure 4-8Changing the Default Squelch Modes.

4-6 6881086C09-OMarch, 1997 Radio Programming InformationGP68 Portable Radios Service Manual Programming the GP68 Radio When the frequency step size passes the upper or lower limit, the radio loops to the opposite limit and sounds a wrap-around tone. Momentarily press the Enter Button to enter the dis- played frequency step size and return to normal opera- tion (the radio automatically does this after 5 seconds of inactivity). WARNING The user-defined TX frequency may be changed automatically without indication depending on the change in the frequency step size selected. To reset your user-defined TX frequency, see To Select the TX Offset on page 4-7. To Select a Receive Frequency There are several ways to select a receive frequency: •by entering the frequency directly via the numeric keypad, •by using the Channel Selector Knob /keypad combi- nation. Using the Keypad only Enter the desired frequency directly using the numberbuttons on the keypad. The LCD is updated after each keypress. NOTE You have approximately 5 seconds between each number entry; otherwise, the radio reverts back to the previously selected fre- quency. With each number entry, a valid keypress tone sounds. When 6 digits are displayed, the receiver is set to the entered frequency. NOTE If an invalid number is pressed, the valid number nearest the invalid keypress is entered such that the selected frequency will not be outside the allowed frequency band. Valid frequencies entered via the keypad are dependent on the frequency step size previ- ously selected. The LCD only displays valid numbers. Using the Channel Selector Knob and Keypad Together Enter the first few digits of the desired frequency directly using the number buttons on the keypad. The LCD is updated after each keypress. Press the Enter Button to commit the partially-entered frequency. Un-entered digits are coerced to the nearest valid frequency. Rotate the Channel Selector Knob clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease, the fre- quency (starting at the next available frequency) until the desired frequency is displayed. The frequency incre- ments, or decrements, according to the selected fre- quency step size. Figure 4-11Selecting the Frequency Step Size.

March, 19976881086C09-O4-7 GP68 Portable Radios Service ManualRadio Programming Information Programming the GP68 Radio When the frequency selection passes the upper or lower limit, the radio loops to the opposite limit and sounds a wrap-around tone. To Select the TX Offset For the GP68, the transmit frequency can be the same as the receive frequency (no offset), it can have a standard positive or negative offset, or it can be a user-defined TX frequency. NOTE The Tx Offsets are only visible on the Dealer Programmable GP68. The offsets are not shown on the User GP68. Momentarily press to toggle between no offset, standard positive or negative offset, or user-defined TX frequency. The offset mode is set according to the table shown (Table 4-2). The indicator(s) light according to which corresponding mode is currently selected, and the LCD displays the TX fre- quency whenever the radio is keyed (for example, see Figure 4-14). To Program a User-Defined TX Frequency Press and hold until the “+ –” indicators begin to flash (takes about 3 seconds). The LCD will display the current user-defined TX frequency. You can now enter the desired TX frequency either directly via the numeric keypad or by rotating the Chan- nel Selector Knob and scrolling through the available frequencies (according to the selected frequency step size). If using the keypad to enter a user-defined TX fre- quency, either completely key in the desired frequency or, to fill in trailing zeros, press the Enter Button. Once the frequency is fully entered, press the Enter Button again to exit the user-defined entry mode and commit the selected TX frequency. NOTE The radio automatically exits the user- deÞned entry mode after 5 seconds of inactiv- ity and commits the selected TX frequency ONLY if you have completely keyed in the desired frequency (a partially-entered fre- quency is NOT stored by the radio). If using the Channel Selector Knob to enter a user- defined TX frequency, press the Enter Button to com- mit the selected TX frequency and return to normal operating mode (the radio automatically does this after 3 seconds of inactivity). NOTE When receiving in MHz mode, the radio dis- plays the selected RX frequency; when trans- mitting, the radio displays the selected TX frequency. To Select the Receive PL/DPL Code There are 126 different Receive PL/DPL codes available, numbered from 001 to 126 (see Table 4-3, Receive and Transmit PL/DPL Codes, on page 4-9). Receive PL/DPL code ‘000’ represents Carrier squelch. From the frequency mode, press and hold until the LCD displays ‘rPL.” followed by the active Receive PL code number (takes about 3 seconds). In the follow- ing example (Figure 4-16), the Receive PL/DPL code is 014. Rotate the Channel Selector Knob clockwise to increase, or counter-clockwise to decrease, the active Receive PL/DPL code.

Press the Light/Enter Button for three seconds, then release. Press the Light/Enter Button again until “Pch” with the channel number is displayed. The new Receive PL/DPL code is adopted. To Select the Transmit PL/DPL Code There are 126 different Transmit PL/DPL codes available, numbered from 001 to 126 (see Receive and Transmit PL/ DPL Codes on page 4-9). Transmit PL/DPL code ‘000’ rep- resents Carrier squelch. From the frequency mode, press and hold until the LCD displays ‘rPL.” followed by the active Receive PL code number (takes about 3 seconds). Press momentarily to toggle the display to ‘tPL.” followed by the active Transmit PL code number. You can toggle between editing of the Receive and Transmit PL/DPL by pressing momentarily. In the following example (Figure 4-19), the Transmit PL/DPL code is 020. Rotate the Channel Selector Knob clockwise toincrease, or counter-clockwise to decrease, the active Transmit PL/DPL code. NOTE If you reach the upper or lower limit of the PL/DPL codes, the displayed code wraps around to the opposite limit and starts to increment or decrement from that point. Press the Light/Enter Button for three seconds, then release. Press the Light/Enter Button again until “Pch” with the channel number is displayed. The new Transmit PL/DPL code is adopted. NOTE If the Receive PL/DPL code is programmed for ‘000’, then the Receive PL/DPL (Coded squelch) mode cannot be selected. To select the Receive PL/DPLmode, the Receive code must be changed to other than zero (see To Select the Receive PL/DPL Code on page 4- 7 and Receive and Transmit PL/DPL Codes on page 4-9).
