SECTION II INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING 2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION This section contains information concerning the installation and programming of BK Radio GMH Series radios. 2.1.1 Unpacking and Inspecting Equipment Exercise extreme care when unpacking the equipment. Make a visual inspection of the unit for evidence of damage incurred during shipment. If a claim for damage is to be made, save the shipping container to substantiate the claim. The claim should be promptly filed with the transportation company. It would be advisable to retain the container and packaging material after all equipment has been removed in the event that equipment storage or reshipment should become necessary. 2.1.2 Installation Plan your installation carefully. Locate the radio and microphone within easy reach, giving the operator a clear view of the display. Do not locate the radio or microphone in a position that interferes with safe operation of the vehicle. Once the equipment location is chosen, determine the best routing for cables and wires to connect the system. Use a rubber grommet to protect the wires when passing through sheet metal. Avoid any route that subjects the wire to pinching, cutting, or high heat from the engine or other vehicle component. The radio must be used with a 12 volt, NEGATIVE GROUND electrical system. Refer to Figure 2-1. 1. Crimp the fuse holder in line with the red power lead as close to the battery as possible. 2. Connect the red power lead to the vehicle battery POSITIVE terminal. Using other positive voltage points in the vehicle is not recommended. 3. Connect the black lead to a good ground point on the vehicle chassis. Connection to the negative battery terminal is not recommended. 4. Mount the antenna carefully. Follow the instructions supplied with the antenna kit. Route the coax cable to the radio mounting location. 5. Fasten the mounting bracket securely to the desired location. 6. Mount the microphone clip securely to the desired location. The microphone hanger clip must be grounded for proper radio operation. Use the supplied ground wire if needed. 7. Mount any approved accessory speakers and route the wires to the rear of the radio bracket. 8. Connect the power lead, antenna connector, and accessory wires to the rear of the radio. 9. Place the radio in the mounting bracket, adjust to the proper mounting angle, and thread in the two side mounting knobs until the unit is secure. NOTE: Option A and B connections are logic level outputs. Consult your BK Radio dealer before connecting accessories to these pins.

The radio will be in normal operation mode the next time it is turned on. Page 2-12 BK RADIO GMH Series VHF Radio 2.3 Installation and Programming CLONING RADIO SETTINGS A portable radio with a keyboard and display can transfer its programmed settings to an GMH radio by using a cloning cable. A radio cannot transfer Alphanumeric display settings, including channel labels and group labels. Both units must be of the same frequency band. Settings for any group in a portable radio can be downloaded to any group in the GMH radio. The GMH radio must be programmed with groups of 14 channels. Cloning can only be accomplished group by group. To perform group cloning: 1. With the portable radio in normal operation mode, press the [#] key followed by number keys to select the group to be downloaded. 2. Set the GMH radio to the group that is to receive the download, using the same method as in step 1, or by pressingthe GRP button and turning the Channel Select knob. 3. Connect the Master end of the cloning cable into the microphone connector of the portable radio. This is the cable end with the pushbutton Master switch. 4 Put the portable radio into programming mode by holding down the Master switch and pressing the [FCN] key until the display shows ---ID. 5. Enter the correct Password Code. 6. Press the [FCN] key repeatedly to review the values in Channel 0. Make any required changes at this time. 7. Attach the other end of the cloning cable into the microphone connector of the EM H radio to be cloned. 8. Press the [*] key on the portable radio. The display will flash PROG, signifying that the radio is ready to download. 9. Press the [FCNJ key. The program in the portable will download to the GMH. The GMH will send back the program to the portable to verify successful cloning. 10. If the download was successful, the portable radio will resume flashing PROG. Turn off the GMH radio. Disconnect the cable. Normal radio operation will occur the next time the GMH radio is turned on. 11. If the download was not successful the portable radio will flash FAIL, followed by continuous beeps. Failure to download the portable program can be due to: A. B. C. Incorrect radio types. Improper connection. Failure to power up radio. NOTE: To stop FAIL mode, press the [CLR] key, turn off the radios, and start again at Step 1. BK RADIO Page 2-13 Installation and Programming GMH Series VHF Radio 2.3.1 Special Cloning Instructions It is possible to change Channel 0 values on the portable radio, hold them in a temporary memory, and download them to the GMH without actually entering them into the permanent memory of the portable radio. This is convenient for sequential identification numbers used to identify a series of portables in a radio system. Assuming that the frequencies, Code Guard values, and other Ch 0 values are common for all radios in the system, but that the radio identification number should be unique to each radio, the following method would be used to clone additional radios for the system. 1. Program the portable radio with all frequencies, Code Guard values, and Channel 0 values that will be common to all GMH radios to be cloned. 2. Advance the display to show the portable radio's ID number-for example, 100. 3. Press the [CLR] key; press 125. Do not press the [ENT] key. Now 125 is in temporary memory. 4. Press the [*] key, connect the cable to the radios and download to the GMH by pressing the [FCN] key. ID number 125 is now stored in permanent memory of the GMH. 5. After download, press the [CLR] key on the portable radio. Disconnect the GMH. The portable radio display will show that 125 is still being held in the temporary memory of the portable radio. 6. Press the [PRI] key. This will increment the ID number one digit to 126. (Note: any new number can be entered at this point by pressing the [CLR] key and using the digit keys to enter the new number.) 7. Press the [*] key. Connect the cable to the second GMH and download by pressing [FCN]. 8. Any number of radios can be coded with different or sequential ID numbers using this technique. The ID number in the permanent memory of the portable radio will remain unchanged as 100. 2.3.2 Scan List and Priority Channel Cloning When a portable radio downloads to an GMH, the Scan List and Priority Channel designations are also transferred to the GMH. This includes Priority Mode and any lockout functions. To program an GMH with a specific Priority Mode, Priority Channel, and Scan List along with the respective lockout functions (if desired), the portable radio must first be programmed with these parameters. The lockout functions cannot be held in temporary memory. See the appropriate operating procedures in Section 3 for selecting the Scan List, Priority Channel, and Lockout functions. See "Priority Scan" on page 2-6 for Priority Mode selection procedures. Page 2-14 BK RADIO GMH Series VHF Radio 2.3.2 Installation and Programming Programming By Computer Programming a radio from a computer is not covered in this manual. Contact BK Radio for the programming cable, software, and manual required. 2.3.3 Tone Code Guard Values The tone Code Guard system may be set for any frequency in the range of 67 to 255.9 Hz. However, since most systems adhere to the Electronic Industry Association (EIA) standards, tones should be selected from the following EIA list. In order to insure optimum performance, tone selection for use on the same radio frequency (RF) channel or adjacent channels in the same coverage area should be made from one of the Groups A, B, or C to the maximum degree possible. BENDIX/KING guarantees optimum receiver performance only if tone frequencies below 220 Hz are chosen.

The assignments in a given area shall be made from within one of the Groups: A, B, or C. 2.3.4 Digital Code Guard Values Codes for the Digital Code Guard system may be chosen from the following list. This can be done during the code programming of the system. Usually systems using direct unit to unit transmission (systems without mobile relays, repeaters, remote control, etc) may use codes from the table. Systems with relays etc. may use code variations for system control and operational efficiency. The system operator or engineer should be consulted regarding the operational requirement on such systems. 023 025 026 031 032 043 047 051 054 BK RADIO 065 071 072 073 074 114 115 116 125 131 132 134 143 152 155 156 162 165 172 174 205 223 226 243 244 245 251 261 263 265 271 306 311 315 331 343 346 351 364 365 371 411 412 423 431 432 445 464 465 466 503 506 516 532 546 565 606 612 624 627 631 632 654 662 664 703 712 723 731 732 734 743 754 Page 2-15
