Radio Programming: Adding Contacts

4-5

The unit ID of a private contact can be read over the air or entered using the mini keyboard.

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.

When programming a new PublicGroup, press 

 under Change to select a PublicGroup ID from 

1-100. IDs already in use on your radio will be preceded by an “x”.

When programming a new PrivateGroup, 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.

If a Home Group is selected for your radio, then it will return 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.

2. Scroll to select the desired entry. Press 

 under Select to select the new item. The dis-

play returns to the previous screen with the new Home Group Number entered.
