Wired Clone Mode
1. Description
Wired Clone Mode is an independent mode. To access other modes, you must restart the radio.
Wired Clone Mode includes User Clone Mode and Factory Clone Mode.
(1) User Clone Mode:
Connect two radios using a cloning cable. Then turn on the source radio with
SK2
held down, and the
radio enters User Clone Mode in 2 seconds. The target radio can be directly turned on to enter the mode.
In this mode, data stored in EEPROM of the source radio will be cloned to EEPROM of the target radio.
The data transferred only covers channel data and common parameters, excluding adjustment data,
version and serial No. of the model.
(2) Factory Clone Mode:
Short the SELF pin of the source radio MCU, and connect the two radios using a cloning cable. Then
turn on the source radio with
SK2
held down, and the radio enters Factory Clone Mode in 2 seconds.
The target radio can be directly turned on to enter user mode. Data transferred covers all data in
EEPROM other than the Serial No., with the Tuning Switch flag included.
2. Process
Process of Wired Clone:
(1) Orange LED flashes once after the source radio enters Wired Clone Mode. Press
SK2
again to clone
data to the target radio.
(2) During cloning, LED on the source radio flashes red, and LED on the target radio flashes green. After
cloning ends, LED of both radios will go out, indicating both radios are ready for another cloning
operation.
