2 INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING
2.1 General Information
This section contains information concerning the installation and programming of the RPV599
Series handheld radio.
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. Battery Installation
Align the four slots on the battery cover with the tabs on
the aluminum cover and then push up the battery until the
latch on the cover bottom locks in place.
To remove the battery, release the latch located at the
bottom of the radio and slides the battery away from the
radio.
2.2 Programming
You can program the RPV599A series in four different ways.
A. Using the unit’s keypad. See section 2.1.3.
B. Cloning from unit to unit using a CCRP cloning cable. See section 2.1.4.1.
C. Wireless cloning from unit to unit. See section 2.1.4.2.
D. With a computer, RESRP99 programming software, and a PCRP programming
interface cable. Contact Relm Communications for the software and cable. See
section 2.1.5.
2.1.3. Keypad Programming
WARNING: EXPLOSION HAZARD
Do not dispose of a battery pack in fire.
An explosion may occur.
Page 8 RELM Communications
Using the unit’s keypad, soft keys, and control knobs, the unit can be placed into one of several
different programming modes. It is important to note that only RELM authorized dealers with
qualified technicians are allowed to operate the RPV599 series radios in the programming mode
and to change any programming content. Figure 2.1 shows the different programming modes.
Figure 2.1 – Programming Modes
Table 2.1 shows the functions that can be set for each of the “Dealer Modes”. The dealer sets

Table 2.1 – Dealer Modes
2.1.3.1. Dealer Mode – Global Settings
To place the unit into the “Dealer Mode” for editing the global settings, do the following:
1. While pressing and holding the [LAMP] and [DIAL] buttons, switch the power “on”. After
2 seconds the radio enters the dealer mode and “SEL” appears on the display.
2. While in dealer mode, press [SCN] to enter the global set mode.
Table 2.2 shows the function number and function options that can be selected while in this
mode. While in this mode, the Channel Selector knob is used to set functions “ON” or “OFF” or
to select the setting. After a function is set, pressing the [PTT] button stores the setting and
increments the menu to the next function option. Also, when the [PTT] button is pushed, a beep
will sound to confirm the setting.
Pressing the [SCN] button at any time while reviewing the function options will cause the unit to
exit the selection mode and revert back to the dealer mode screen. The current function option
will not be stored if it was changed. After the complete option list has been cycled through,
“End” will appear on the display. To exit dealer mode, cycle the power “off” and then back “on”.
To review or confirm the function settings while in the DTMF set mode, press and hold the
[MONI] button and turn the channel select knob.
