To switch the transceiver on, press and hold the knob until the radio powers up. The display will show TECHNISONIC and the software version installed followed by the model number along with which RF modules are installed. The display will then show the normal display. To switch off the transceiver at any time, press and hold the knob for 2 seconds until the display shows OFF and then release.

Press the knob again so that CHAN shows up on the bottom right of the display. Rotate the knob until the desired channel or talk group is selected.
A Programming cable “PC-9000” is required to connect the computer to the TDFM-9300. Bands 1 - 4 in the TDFM-9300 are considered an APX-7000 portable by the APX CPS™ software. To program a band in the transceiver, it must be selected by pressing the appropriate band select key before running the APX CPS™.
2.17 CONFIGURATION MENU: Some features of the TDFM-9300 transceiver can be configured to the user’s preference. To enter the configuration menu, press the FUNC button, then NEXT, and then select "Configuration" from the 2nd side button. Configuration Menu can also be accessed by turning the unit on while simultaneously pressing the F4, ESW, and TSW keys.
2.18 KEYLOADING MODE If the TDFM-9300 is equipped with hardware encryption, then the Encryption keys will need to be loaded using a Motorola KVL 3000+® or KVL 4000 Keyloader and a KVL-9000 cable, (TIL P/N 127500). Modules in the TDFM-9300 can easily be keyloaded by simply selecting the band and plugging in the keyloader and cable into the programming connector on the front of the radio.
