Password
The

provides a security password feature which can minimize the chance that
your transceiver could be used by an unauthorized party.
When the password feature is activated, the radio will ask for
the four digit password to be entered when the radio is rst
turned on. You must enter the four digit password from the
keypad. If the wrong password is entered, the microprocessor
will shut down the radio automatically.
