RADIO SETUP MENU
NOTICE
A radio must have the same BindCode (Binding Code) and Hop Seq. (Hop
Channel) as every other radio in the network.
To access the RADIO SETUP menu, select MAIN MENU > Radio Setup.
See Figure 30.
Binding Codes
NOTICE
Always verify binding code in the transmitter radio, no matter what
is recorded elsewhere. Check the Radio Status menu for the radio’s
BindCode (binding code) setting.
To access the binding codes, select MAIN MENU > RADIO SETUP > Set
Binding Code. See Figures 30 and 31.
Binding codes are read from left to right, but they are numbered from right
to left. In the example shown in the table, Digit 1 is at far right. See Figure 32
through Figure 34.
Digit Digit 7 Digit 6 Digit 5 Digit 4 Digit 3 Digit 2 Digit 1
Value
0 2 0 4 4 6 2
Note: The complete binding code is always eight digits, but only seven
digits can be assigned. Digit 8 is locked with a value of 0.
Note: If this radio’s BindCode does not match the BindCode of the
other radios in the network, see Set Binding Code Values for a
Replacement Radio in the Radio Setup Menu.
Note: On the BINDING CONFIG screens, the selection item is indicated
by * instead of >.
Set Binding Code Values for a Replacement Radio
The user must congure the new radio to use the same binding code. In
this example, the existing network uses binding code 00204462.
Digit Digit 7 Digit 6 Digit 5 Digit 4 Digit 3 Digit 2 Digit 1
Value
0 2 0 4 4 6 2
NOTICE
If another TAPCO system is located within a 1 mile radius
(or 40 miles if it has an Omni or a Yagi antenna) of this system, ensure
each system uses its own unique binding code.
