Password Required For Siren

(Radio Wide, User Information and Passwords)

Causes the Siren feature to be disabled whenever the radio is locked. In order to initiate this feature when the radio is powered-on and in a radio-locked state, the radio must first be unlocked (with a valid password entered from the keypad). Once the radio is unlocked, the feature is radio-user activated with a Siren button-press, or as a Siren Type action with the Action Consolidation selection defined on the Response Selector or on a button-press (See also: Action Consolidation). This feature applies on a radio-wide basis.

When disabled, a Siren Type consolidated action will function regardless of a radio-locked state. See the Warning.

The Top Function Programmable Buttons are always disabled by Radio Lock, regardless of the state of this feature; therefore, if there is a requirement for Siren to bypass a radio-locked state, the Siren feature must be programmed as a Siren Type action with the Action Consolidation selection defined on the Response Selector or on a Bottom Function Programmable Button.

When the Secure Operation field is set to "Disabled" or "ADP", the Radio Lock password is stored in the radio's codeplug. The initial password is set in the Unlock Password field, and may be changed by the radio-user through the Password menu-selection.
When the Secure Operation field is set to "Hardware", the Radio Lock password is stored in the hardware encryption module for added security; therefore, it is not directly accessible by the CPS. The password must be manually set in the hardware encryption module via the radio keypad and the Password menu-selection.

When the Radio Lock Enable field is "Enabled", and

when the radio is model / option capable.
