(19) Select SAVE, the down arrow button to store in desired preset (a number must be entered ). (20) Press ESC until the OP screen is displayed and select OP. (21) Recall the PRESET. (22) After recalling the preset, the display shows a monetary alarm condition. Radio initializes for a minute or so. Then the radio automatically accesses the satellite and the display reads as— PRESET # 1 SATCOM ANDVT V2.4V1 I I I I I I I I (power bars) SIG CH#1 FREQ RX d. Upon completion of the circuit, depress the ESC of the up arrow button to the FUNCTION menu. 3. Key Variable Zeroization a. The radio has six fill positions. To zeroize all six key variables, pull and rotate the KMGT switch to the extreme counter clockwise position. This is labeled ZALL. If the radio set is in a mode that has the COMSEC hardware turned on, the display immediately shows the ALARM message signifying a successful ZEROIZATION. The preset operating modes are not affected by ZEROIZATION. If the radio is in a mode with COMSEC hardware off, the display may not immediately display the ALARM message after a ZALL. However, if a mode is entered that causes the COMSEC hardware to turn on, the ALARM message l appears and a KG initialization is required. b. The radio can be zeroized by two other means. Removing the standby battery when the radio set is turned off zeroizes all key variables. Also, unauthorized attempts to access the COMSEC compartment zeroizes the key variables. c. To zeroize a specific key variable location, rotate the KMGT switch to the ZSEL. Select (use the left or right arrow keys on the keypad) the key variable storage location number (KG1 –to KG6) desired to zeroize. d. Once the proper location for the key variable is entered and verified on the display, press and release the STO/RCL button on the keypad. If a KG variable is selected, the message ZSEL IN PROGRESS is displayed briefly. The message ZSEL SUCCESSFUL is displayed when the operation is completed successfully. The ZSEL IN PROGRESS display should be brief and may not be identifiable. 4. LST-5D DAMA 25-kHz AC Procedures (For MOD-3 and Below) a. Under AC, 25-kHZ AC is 25-kHz DAMA. This terminal is used for satellite communication in either voice or data mode. The channel width is 25-kHz. b. DAMA is a channel access scheme in which access of a channel from geographically distributed communications terminals is allocated based on demand. c. AC is an operating mode that allows communications slots within the waveform to be dynamically assigned to terminals requiring access to the slots. E-5

d. radio. Prior to COLD START, press 0 and right arrow together and then turn on the e. This will MASTER CLEAR all settings and crypto in the radio, if needed. 5. Cold Start Initialization a. When unit is powered up in an un-initialized state, the unit performs system tests and then displays a blinking ALARM message. (If the alarm blinks without going to self-test, press ESC twice and then self-test begins.) The speaker shaped icon in the lower left corner of the display is an ALARM annunciator. As long as the internal COMSEC KG is not initialized, the radio set remains in the ALARM condition and displays the ALARM message. Do not power up the unit in the OP position and then toggle the KGMT switch to the LDOW position. b. The three-digit alarm code in the lower right corner of the display should read 050. c. The three digit error code 255 is a catchall error code. Reinitiate the radio. 6. Loading LST-5D for DAMA Use a. To initiate the internal fill, the KMGT switch must be placed in the LDOW position for the internal modem to initialize. The fill device cannot be connected before the internal modem initializes. During the initialization process, the message LOAD CTIC ORDERWIRE INITIALIZING is displayed. If the initialization is longer than 5 minutes, toggle the switch to OP and then back to LDOW. The menu should change within a few minutes. If the fill device connects before the modem completes initializing, the message LOAD CTIC ORDERWIRE DISCNCT FILL DEVICE is displayed and the fill device must be disconnected. After the modem completes initialization, the message CONNECT FILL DEVICE blinks until a device is connected and/or turned on or the KMGT switch is moved to another position. b. After the fill device is connected, the message LOAD CTIC ORDERWIRE KEY 1 is displayed. Load the appropriate keymat in all variable positions by pressing and releasing the STO/RCL button. Do this for all variables. The lamp on the KYK-13 flashes when the button is pressed and the message OW FILL IN PROGRESS is displayed. If the fill is completed successfully , the message OW FILL SUCCESSFUL is displayed. In addition, when the KYK-13 is turned off, the CONNECT FILL DEVICE message is displayed. Toggle the KGMT switch to the LDKG position and load the ANDVT) keymat in load variable 1 of the LST-5D by pressing and releasing the STO/RCL button. When the KGMT switch is toggled to the LDKG and the ALARM 255 flashes in the lower right corner, press the ESC button. The radio goes into an ALARM 050 and then to self-testing. Wait for the CONNECT FILL DEVICE to flash and then load the ANDVT keymat. 7. Programming Operating Modes a. Turn the mode select to the OP position. b. At the function screen, use the right arrow button to select PROG and then depress the down arrow button. c. The program menu displays MODES and FREQS. E-6

5. Cold Start Initialization<br />

a. When unit is powered up in an un-initialized state, the unit performs system<br />

tests and then displays a blinking ALARM message. (If the alarm blinks without going<br />

to self-test, press ESC twice and then self-test begins.) The speaker shaped icon in the<br />

lower left corner of the display is an ALARM annunciator. As long as the internal<br />

COMSEC KG is not initialized, the radio set remains in the ALARM condition and<br />

displays the ALARM message. Do not power up the unit in the OP position and then<br />

toggle the KGMT switch to the LDOW position.<br />

b. The three-digit alarm code in the lower right corner of the display should read<br />

050.<br />

c. The three digit error code 255 is a catchall error code. Reinitiate the radio.<br />

6. Loading LST-5D for DAMA Use<br />

a. To initiate the internal fill, the KMGT switch must be placed in the LDOW<br />

position for the internal modem to initialize. The fill device cannot be connected before<br />

the internal modem initializes. During the initialization process, the message LOAD<br />

CTIC ORDERWIRE INITIALIZING is displayed. If the initialization is longer than<br />

5 minutes, toggle the switch to OP and then back to LDOW. The menu should change<br />

within a few minutes. If the fill device connects before the modem <strong>com</strong>pletes<br />

initializing, the message LOAD CTIC ORDERWIRE DISCNCT FILL DEVICE is<br />

displayed and the fill device must be disconnected. After the modem <strong>com</strong>pletes<br />

initialization, the message CONNECT FILL DEVICE blinks until a device is connected<br />

and/or turned on or the KMGT switch is moved to another position.<br />

b. After the fill device is connected, the message LOAD CTIC ORDERWIRE KEY 1<br />

is displayed. Load the appropriate keymat in all variable positions by pressing and<br />

releasing the STO/RCL button. Do this for all variables. The lamp on the KYK-13<br />

flashes when the button is pressed and the message OW FILL IN PROGRESS is<br />

displayed. If the fill is <strong>com</strong>pleted successfully , the message OW FILL SUCCESSFUL is<br />

displayed. In addition, when the KYK-13 is turned off, the CONNECT FILL DEVICE<br />

message is displayed. Toggle the KGMT switch to the LDKG position and load the<br />

ANDVT) keymat in load variable 1 of the LST-5D by pressing and releasing the<br />
