A radio and RIB must be properly connected to the computer and power
turned on before you attempt the READ function. Reads the information
(data) stored in the radio codeplug (EEPROM) and transfers it to the
computer’s memory. The time required to read a codeplug will depend
directly on your computer type and the size of the codeplug you are
reading. The status of the READ operation will be displayed at the
bottom of the screen.
F3 - GET FILE Retrieves an archive file from a disk and loads the data into the

using CHANGE/VIEW functions or programmed into a radio.
F5 - CLONE Only radios with the same model number can be cloned. Copies codeplug
information from one radio to another.
F7 - SAVE FILE Creates (or updates) an archive copy of the codeplug information on a

recommended in order to be able to quickly restore customer
information in case of a codeplug failure.
F8 - PROGRAM RADIO A radio and RIB must be properly connected to the computer and power
turned on before you attempt this function. Transfers codeplug
information from the computer to the radio codeplug.
