5.3 CPS Programming Setup
The CPS programming setup, shown in Figure 5-2, is used to program the radio codeplug.
NOTE: Refer to appropriate program on-line help files for the codeplug programming procedures.
5.4 Cloning (Conventional and LTR)
Cloning is the same for both the Conventional and LTR radio. Cloning is the process of copying the 
content of one radio (source radio) into...

Procedure:
1. Use the READ RADIO function to read the radio codeplug to be cloned. i.e. the “Source” code-
plug.
2. If required, enter the Individual ID’s for the new radio. Trunking system keys (or FTR Key) are 
required for cloning the Trunking System Data.
3. If required, go to the SDF merge screen, to merge SDF Trunking System Data.
4. Connect “Target” radio to the computer and...

In order to provide more detailed information about the radio’s state to a user or service technician 
various Tones and Display options are available.
One Tone option is a short low pitched tone that sounds whenever the radio loses contact for any 
reason with its registered PassPort site and begins to search for another site. This Tone is enabled...

when the entry is complete or the Escape/Exit Key to exit the function without entering a search 
frequency. After pressing the Select key the radio will exit the Menu mode and begin searching the 
entered frequency for a period of time equal to twice the initial search delay. This...

Power Up Self-Test
6.1 Error Codes - Conventional and LTR Radios
Turning on the radio starts a self-test routine that checks the RAM, ROM checksum, EEPROM 
hardware, and EEPROM checksum. If these checks are successful, the radio generates two high-
pitched self-test pass tones, or a musical tone (selected in CPS). If the self-test is not successful, one 
low-pitched tone is heard. Radios with displays are able to display the error codes. The displayed 
error codes and related corrections...

6.2 Error Codes - Privacy Plus
At power-up, the radio performs cursory tests to determine if its basic electronics and software are in 
working order. Problems detected during these tests are presented as error codes on the radio 
display. The presence of an error code should prompt the user that a problem exists and that a 
service technician should be contacted. Self-test errors are classified as either fatal or non-fatal. Fatal 
errors will inhibit user operation, non-fatal...

6.4 Operation Display Codes
During radio operation, the radio performs dynamic tests to determine if the radio is working 
properly. Problems detected during these tests are presented as error codes on the radio display. 
The presence of an error code should prompt a user...
