Barrett Communications support FAQ

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.

  • Where can I find the system information on the Barrett 4050?

    Select System Info from the Settings menu to view your transceiver's Head Device ID, serial number, and software/firmware versions.

    Insert a USB storage device into the unit's USB port, tap Settings, then Export. Follow the on-screen prompts to name the configuration file and encrypt it with an optional password.

    The PRC-4090 can be powered by its 16Ah Battery Pack, an AC/DC universal power adaptor, a 12/24V tactical solar panel, or compatible BB-series military batteries.
