The user programmable Key Lock function allows the Key Lock to be assigned to the lower side

Checking The Status Of The Key Lock

To check whether the key lock is currently enabled or disabled:

• Put the radio into User Programming Mode (UPM) by pressing and holding the top side

function button and the PTT button when you turn the radio on. This will cause the radio to

emit a beep and the LCD will display the message “Button Programming Mode”

followed by a menu showing the settings for the radio’s current channel including

either "KL0" meaning the key lock is disabled or "KL1" meaning the key lock is enabled.

Note: If you press the PTT while in User Programming Mode it will emit a beep & save the

settings of the current channel, it will NOT emit beeps for the status of the key lock as in the

entry level models).

Enabling \ Disabling The Key Lock

• Put the radio into User Programming Mode (UPM).

• Enter "Key Lock Button Programming Mode" by pressing and holding the PTT until a

"warble" sound is emitted from the radio and the radio displays the current state of the key

lock.

• To Disable the Key Lock press the upper side button and the radio will emit 2 low tone

beeps to confirm it is disabled and the LCD will display “Key Lock Disable”.

• To Enable the Key Lock press the lower side button and the radio will emit 2 high tones to

confirm it is enabled and the LCD will display “Key Lock Enable”.

To save the setting press the PTT button, the radio will confirm this with a single beep and

Using The User Programmable Key Lock

• If no functions are assigned to the short press of the lower side button, then the key lock will

automatically be assigned to the short press of the lower side button.

• If a function is assigned to the short press of the lower button, but no function is assigned to

the long press of the lower side button, then the key lock will be assigned to the long press

of the lower side button.

• But if functions are assigned to both the short and long press of the lower side buttons, then

the key lock feature cannot be used and if you perform a long press of the lower side button

the radio will emit an error beep and the LCD will display the message "Cannot Override".
