General Programming Overview

Each port on the RC-210 is programmed individually and the programming for one does not affect the others. The programming
commands for each port are identical - the only difference being the port you've "unlocked" to program. This makes it easier to
remember the code for programming a particular command/function.
For example, the code to program the Initial ID Timer is *1002, regardless which port you wish to program. What differentiates which
port is being programmed is determined by which port you unlocked through the use of its unlock code.
While you are in programming mode you can re-enter an Unlock code at any time to unlock a different port without having to lock the
controller first. For example, if the controller's Port 1 is already unlocked, you can simply enter Port 2's unlock code and change over to
programming Port 2.
While unlocked, you may also play back your ID messages, based on which port is currently unlocked. This allows for easy verification
of your ID messages as you program them.
AA1 The currently unlocked port CWID # 1
AA2 The currently unlocked port CWID # 2
AA3 The currently unlocked port Voice ID # 1
AA4 The currently unlocked port Voice ID # 2
AA5 The currently unlocked port Voice ID # 3
As mentioned in the Command Reference section of this manual while any port is unlocked, you can use any of the default command
codes.
In addition, by prefacing any Macro Command with "* *", you can recall any previously programmed Macro.

Unlock Code Programming

The RC-210 comes programmed with a default unlock codes for each port. To unlock any port for the first time, enter the default code.
15281 Port 1 default unlock code
25281 Port 2 default unlock code
35281 Port 3 default unlock code.
For example, to unlock Port 1 for the first time, enter 1 5 2 8 1 and unkey. The controller will respond with "ULP1", indicating that Port 1
is now unlocked and ready to accept programming. The code to reprogram the unlock code is * 9 0 0 0 followed by up to 8 digits - those
digits will become your new unlock code for that port.
Note: For security reasons, you should try and use all 8 digits for the unlock codes.
For example, you want to program the unlock code for Port 1 to "22334455". Key your radio and enter * 9 0 0 0 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 and
unkey. The controller should respond with "CODE". Your new code is now set and will stay set until you explicitly change it, even
through power off cycles. It is suggested the first thing you do is reprogram the unlock code for each port.
Some owners prefer to use a prefix, followed by a command unlock code. This makes it even easier to remember the codes. For
example, you could program Port 1 unlock code as 12463683 , Port 2 as 22463683 and Port 3 as 32463683. Of course this is strictly up
to you, but the flexibility of the RC-210 allows you this sort of freedom.
Important: Write your unlock codes down and keep them in a safe place. Should you lose them, it is possible to reset them back to factory
defaults. See "Resetting your unlock codes" on Page 41 for details on how to do this.
