The Read Function; Read Radio Display - Motorola SABER RVN4002K User Manual

A. The READ function
The READ function will read the radio codeplug data from the radio and generate an RSS
PC file. In order to read the codeplug, you need to connect the radio to the system. To read
the radio, follow the setup procedure shown in Figure 4.
• Make sure the radio is not in scan mode.
• Regardless of the type of radio model being read back (whether a SABER I, II, or III), the
programmer will always read the contents of the CORE processor first. The system will
display the software version level of the CORE processor being read,for example:
CORE 5d , or 6d, etc...
• After reading the CORE, the system will read the COPE processor followed by the
contents of the external EEPROM. This process will only occur on SABER II and III
models.
• After the contents of the radio have been read back, the system will convert this data into
the radio personality file. As the system is building the RPF, several messages will
appear on the screen showing the process of the "build." Shown below in Figure 14 is
a sample screen of READ radio.

Note: Before reading the radio, a message may appear instructing you to press the three top
keys down on the keypad (for a SABER II and III) simultaneously and turn the radio off and
back on to get an ERR X YZ message on the display. Don't worry about the message unless
the READ radio function does not execute. If the error message does not disappear or the
READ function locks up, refer to Appendix-1, "ERROR MESSAGES."
