Chapter 34
Radio Lock
This Radio Lock feature allows you to lock your radio with a password for security.
The default password is 0123456789. When you turn on your radio for the first time, you must use the
default password to unlock the radio. After successfully unlocking your radio with the default password,
your radio prompts you to change the password to a new one.
NOTE: Change the default password to a new one. You can only proceed when the new
password is confirmed. This feature is applicable to radios with Secure Hardware Encryption.
The new password must be different from the default password. Your service provider determines the
following requirements:
• Number of characters for a password (maximum 10 characters).
• Number of attempts for password entry.
If you exhaust all attempts at entering the correct password, the radio is deadlocked. Restart the radio
to start over.
NOTE:
Depending on the configuration, the radio can carry over the number of attempts remaining
even after a power cycle. If you exhaust all attempts in this configuration, the following occurs:
• The radio remains inhibited.
• All encryptions and secure keys are erased.
