Ranger PPR-RBT1; when I try to link with my phone via Bluetooth it asks for a security code. What the heck???? Thank You in advance for any help. Danny

All radio's are factory set up and although you can tweak parts, this is usually at the expense of longevity or reliability.
To tweak a radio properly and ensure it remains legal, you will need the service manual, an accurate frequency counter and standard, a nice dummy load and an oscilloscope. If you turn anything inside and do not know what you are doing, you could end up stressing output components due to signal mismatching and possibly end up with spurious transmissions which can interfere with other electronic equipment.

Tommy, I know why you like the radio, but I must warn you that it isn't type accepted for the amateur band. (it would be the same thing as using an amateur radio for the fire department or sheriff for emergency uses.) I have looked for the mods to change it into a 10-meter radio, and they are not to be found. My suggestion to you is to look in a recent issue of QST about building a Bluetooth (c) transceiver for your regular 10-meter radio. I had to do the same thing for my HF rig which happens to be a Yaesu FT-857D. Fire me an e-mail if you want the schematics for the box. 73 and good luck!

if its still under warrentee then send it back to where it was made. If not send it to a place like Bells cb in Fl. or another reputable shop. Inquire with them before you send it to them and they will tell you how to send it.

Hi michael, my name is John. Welcome to FixYa. Check your antenna system. Check your SWR they will check it for free at Radio Shack. A good antenna is a magnet mount, you can put it on your trunk or cab, as long as nothing is blocking it. Have any more problems, let me know. Thanks for choosing FixYa....John

do a google search for it.

Press dimmer switch 3 sec, then when first two digits (hour( of clock flashes set hour using Phone Volume switches. Press dimmer again to set minutes, then when done press Dimmer once more to activate the clock. It displays in military configuration (e.g., 1:30 PM will read as 1330 Hrs) See user manual page 8

The initial security code should be 0000, this is assuming that you've not changed it.

For any future questions or issues I'm also including the support link for your printer.

when it ask passcode, its an security protection, u'll just have to input any number, and same as to the other phone. like 1234 and you'll input the 1234 passcode on which phone you are pairing with, try changing you setting in your message setting cause, mostly when via blue tooth it stores on your inbox.

I assume you are trying to connect to another phone via Bluetooth. It would help quite a bit to know what kind of phone you are trying to connect to, but here is what you need to have configured on your phone for Bluetooth file transfers:

1. Create a link between your Motorola RAZR Phone and any Bluetooth Accessory 1.0 and up, you need to turn the Bluetooth connection "on". This is how: Go into your phone "settings". > Then select "Connection" > "Bluetooth Link" > "Set Up" > "Power" > "On". The connection will stay on until you turn it off. We recommend to turn it off when not in use to preserve battery life.

2. To connect your RAZR to another Bluetooth hands free kit or headset, go into "Settings" > "Connection" > "Bluetooth Link" > "Handsfree" > (Look for Device). You phone will scan for available devices located within the range of the RAZR, approx 30 feet away. If your cell phone is already connected to a Blue Tooth headset, you must disconnect from it to find other devices. Once you have identified your bluetooth device, highlight its name and click on the "select" button.
3. The Bluetooth device will ask permission to connect. Select "yes" and press the "select" button; after that you will be prompted to insert a PIN code to initiate a secure connection. The PIN code is usually provided by the Bluetooth device manufacturer, not the RAZR (unless you are connecting to another phone). Once the connection is made, you should see the bluetooth logo displayed on the internal screen, while the external screen Bluetooth indicator will flash.

4. You can now "Copy" media files to the phones nearby that you have connected to. Copy is an option while browsing through the files.
