Press and hold the preprogrammed Rekey Request button
to send the rekey request.
If the rekey operation fails, a bad-key tone sounds and the

The rekey operation failure indicates that your radio

key must be loaded into your radio with the key-

sent.
Refer to your local key management supervisor for
more information.
