Radio Programming: Adding Contacts 4-5
Programming a Unit ID (Private Calls Only)
The unit ID of a private contact can be read over the air or entered using the mini keyboard.
There are two procedures to enter an PID.
To read it in over the air (as pictured) refer to bullet 1 and follow the on-screen text to transmit the ID
from another radio. In addition to the ID, the non-default name, channel, home group, and ringer for
Gen3 radio are transmitted. to the receiving radio.
To enter the ID using the mini keyboard, refer to bullet 2.
1. Scroll to select ID and press under Read. The ID screen appears.
2. Use the mini keyboard to enter an 11 digit ID. When the mini keyboard is connected, the left
becomes Change. After entering the ID, press under Ok to confirm the entry and
to return to the previous screen with the ID entered.
Selecting a Group ID
When programming a new PublicGroup, press under Change to select a PublicGroup ID from
1-50 for DTR410 or 1-100 for DTR550/650. IDs already in use on your radio are preceded by an “x”.
When programming a new PrivateGroup (DTR550 or DTR650 only), the radio selects your GroupID
from your contact list. Press under Change to select another Group ID. Since the default
GroupID is dependent upon the contact list of all radios being the same, it is recommended to clone
PrivateGroups to other radios.
Entering a Home Group Number
If a Home Group is selected for your radio, then it returns to that Group after 30 seconds of inactivity.
This ensures that any transmissions on this channel are not missed. Selecting a Home Group also
automatically adds the contact to that PrivateGroup.
1. Scroll to select the Home Group Number and press under Change. The Home Group
screen appears.
NOTE: A next to a selection indicates the present selection.
