4.3.1.2 Remote-Mounted Radios
For remote-mounted radios, the cable is connected to the radio at the FLASHport connector, which
is located on the remote faceplate of the transceiver. Another programming option is to use a direct
adapter cable to connect the radio’s rear accessory connector, J2, to the computer. A third option is
to use an ASTRO Packet Data cable to directly connect J6 on the remote faceplate to the computer.
(Please refer to the CPS Programming Installation Guide
—Motorola part number 6881095C44—for
installation and setup procedures for the software.)
Do not attempt to program via the remote control head. Be sure to disconnect any accessories that
are connected to the radio’s microphone ports (including the microphones). Bias to these
accessories could impair programming/tuning capability.
4.3.1.3 Field-Programming Items
Once the computer is connected to the radio, the prompts provided by the programming software
can be followed. The following items, available through the Radio Products Services Division (except
the computer), are required when programming XTL 5000 radios.
4.3.1.4 W3 Control-Head Error Message
For a radio equipped with a W3 control head, it is possible for the message FL01/90 to display while
using the HKN6155 programming cable for tuner, CPS, or flash programming. Upon completion of
the operation, a reset will clear the message. Powering on the radio before attaching the
programming cable will decrease the occurrence of the
FL01/90 message.
