Lost Password
M7 series products with firmware version C0 or higher have the ability to password protect the user interface. If it is password protected, the radio will output a “password:” prompt when entering the command mode.
When in the command mode, to enable the use of a password enter:
Password xxxx
Where xxxx is the 2-7 digit password you would like to protect the user interface with.
To disable password protection, enter:
Password 0 (zero not oh)
Note: If the user-interface is password protected, and the Config button on the M7 is pressed, for security reasons, the encryption phrase is automatically erased.
To Reset the Password:
If you forget what the password is, you will have to reset the password. To do this:
- Remove the back plate off of the M7 radio.
- With the power on, momentarily press the Config button
- You will get an OK prompt back from the radio, and it will be in the command mode.
- Enter Password 0 to erase the password, and disable the password feature.
- To store a new password, issue a Password xxxx command where xxxx is the new 2-7 digit password.
