Installation and Programming GPH-CMD VHF Radio

2.2 HOW TO PROGRAM RADIOS
You can program GPH-CMD radios in three different ways:
A. BY KEYPAD A radio can be programmed with its keypad and a programming plug,
LAA0701. That procedure is described in this section.
B. BY CLONING You can transfer a radio’s programmed settings to another GPH-CMD or
GPH radio by using a cloning cable, LAA0700. See “Cloning Radio Settings" in section 2.2.2.
C. BY COMPUTER With a computer, GPH-CMD programming software and an LAA0725
interface cable. That procedure is not described in this manual. Contact BK Radio for the
programming cable and required software.
2.2.1 KEYPAD PROGRAMMING
Some radios are shipped with a door covering the keypad and display. Before programming,
remove the door by removing the battery pack, engaging the door just below the speaker grill,
and sliding the door downward. Replace the battery pack.
Make sure the battery pack is charged.
1. Insert the programming plug into the side connector of the radio. The
push-button master switch will be on the top.
NOTE: The cloning cable can be used as a substitute for the
programming plug by inserting the end with the push-button
master switch into the side connector of the radio.
2. Select a channel group to be programmed. See "Channel Groups" in
section 3.8 of this manual.
3. Press and hold the master switch.
4. While holding the master switch, press and hold the [FCN] key. After
approximately three seconds the LCD will display ’PSWRD-******’.
5. Release the [FCN] key and the master switch. The radio is now in
the Password Entry Mode.
6. Enter the six-digit password code. Without the correct password
code, you cannot proceed with programming.
NOTE: New radios shipped from the factory are assigned the
password code 000000.
If the password code is entered incorrectly, the radio will reset to
normal operation. Try again, starting at step 2.
7. Press the [ENT] key to proceed to Programming Mode. The display
will change to ‘PROG CH 00’.
NOTE: Keypad Programming Mode cannot be entered when the
radio is operating in the Command Group. If the display
flashes “CMND GRP” when you try to enter
Programming Mode, release the master switch and
[FCN] key, and select a different group.
