Howto put a tk290 into program mode

Hold in the PTT and the monitor button while turning on the radio (wait for the sounds to stop) will put you into programming mode. You can then use the menu button and the +/- buttons to walk you through the settings. Using this menu, you can program your radio to match your other unit.

To read out your master radio, put it in programming mode, and simply press the menu button to walk through the settings. Do not press the +/- along the way, as it would change a setting. Once your have your master radio read-out, you can proceed with programming the one you are having a problem with.

Best regards.

It is possible you have your "code" programmed differently than the other radios in your group. You can check this by following the programming mode instructions in the user guide beginning on page 42. http://www.twowayradiosfor.com/pdf/RDX-Non-Display-manual.pdf

Or you can have your radio and a known good radio read out by a Motorola dealer to see if it is programmed correctly.

Best regards.

I have the same clock and had the same problem. My clock was a demo and had no instructions with it. Here is the solution:
1. Pull out the battery and wait 10 seconds then replace the battery. The satellite symbol should start flashing after a few seconds.
2. Put the clock outside or in a window sill till it updates. This could take a couple of minutes.
3. Press the Mode button once to enter programming mode.
4. Press the Adjust button as many times as needed to toggle through the time zones.
5. Press the Mode button once to exit programming mode.

The Talkabout is a user programable radio. You will need to put the radio in the programing mode and program it to the other radios.

Here is a link to the CP100 user manual, it is the sister radio to the XTN, and programs the same way. http://www.thekidshuttle.com/ABC%20Docs/CP100_Manual.pdf
Refer to the bottom of page 20 to get started programming.

Basically you hold in the PTT and the MON button while turning the radio on. Continue to hold them in until it stops making noise. This puts you in programming mode, and you can use the menu button and the + and - to walk you through reprogramming the radio.

try disconnecting the battery overnight. that should put it back in safe mode 1.
