Managing Encryption
KEY Loading
1. Refer to the key-variable loader (KVL) manual for equipment connections
and setup.
2. When the KVL is attached to your radio, all other radio functions will be
locked out.
3. Pressing the KVL’s PTT switch will load the encryption keys into your
radio. When the key has been loaded successfully, the radio will sound a
short tone for single-key radios; for multikey radios, an alternating tone
will be heard.
KEY Erasure (All KEYS Erased)
With the radio on, press and hold the Top Side Button; while holding this
button down, press the Emergency Button.
DO NOT press the Emergency Button before pressing the Top
Side Button unless you are in an emergency situation; this would
send an emergency alarm.
MultiKEY
The multikey feature allows your radio to be equipped with as many as 16
different encryption keys and supports up to two different encryption
algorithms simultaneously (for example, DVP-XL™ and DES-XL, or DVP™ and
DVP-XL).
• Multikey — The encryption keys can be tied (strapped) on a one-per-
channel basis through radio service software.
• Trunked Multikey — If you use your radio for both conventional
and trunked applications, you will have to strap your encryption keys
for trunking on a per- talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In
addition, you may strap a different key to other features (for example,
dynamic regrouping, failsoft, emergency talkgroup, or emergency-
announcement group).
