What is the first step in the standard Zeroize procedure?

• A. KEYS and press Enter
• B. SELECT ZEROIZE and press Enter
• C. SELECT (*) or ZEROIZE ALL using ▼ and press Enter
• D. SELECT YES and press Enter

Answer: (A)

Zeroize begins by selecting what you want erased from memory. In the standard flow, you first highlight KEYS in the Zeroize menu and press Enter to set the scope to encryption keys. This tells the radio which data to purge before moving on to the actual erase and any confirmations. The other steps come after: you’d typically confirm the action (YES) or navigate to the option to erase all data (ZEROIZE ALL), but you must choose the data category first. So starting with KEYS and pressing Enter is the correct first step.
