1.0 Introduction
1

This chapter provides an overview of the GM350 Radio Service Software (RSS) and shows how to connect the
radio to a computer and install the programming software.

The user manual for the RSS is contained within the application and can be printed if required. The user manual
is independant of the RSS screens and can be viewed at any time during programming.

The opening sections of the user manual should be read to gain a clear understanding of the RSS functionality.

When programming individual fields there is also help text available. This is field specific and allows a more
detailed description than that given in the user manual.
