1. Press until REKY
appears.
2. Press
below
REKY.
REQUEST REKY is
displayed.
3. Press the PTT button
to send the rekey
request.
PLEASE WAIT is
displayed.
4. One of the following
occurs:
The radio sounds five
tones when the
dispatcher has
received the request.
NOTE:Any subsequent pressing of the PTT button will exit
the feature and allow you to transmit in the normal
manner. Pressing
or the emergency button also
exits the feature.
If the display
momentarily shows
REKEY FAIL and a
bad-key tone sounds,
the rekey operation
failed because the
radio does not contain
the Unique Shadow
Key (USK).
You have to load the
USK into the radio
using the KVL before
the radio can be
reprogrammed over
the air.
NOTE:If you exit at this point, but stay on the current channel
in the dispatch mode, the radio momentarily shows
REKEYED or DENIED and sounds a tone indicating the
status of the rekey request.
