REALIGNMENT

4. Wireless Clone Mode

4-1. Outline

“Wireless Clone Mode” copies the transceiver data to an-

other transceiver.

The dealer can copy the transceiver data to another

transceiver even without the use of a personal computer.

4-2. Example

The transceiver can copy the programming data to one or

more transceivers via RF communication.

The clone source and clone target/s must be in wireless

clone mode.

4-3. Operation

1. To switch the clone target/s to Wireless Clone mode,

press and hold the [<B] key while turning the transceiver
power ON.

2. Wait for 2 seconds. “CLONE” appears on the LCD, fol-

lowed by “FRQTBL 1”.

3. Select a channel table number using the [Selector] knob.
4. To switch the clone source to Wireless Clone mode,

press and hold the [<B] key while turning the transceiver
power ON.

5. Wait for 2 seconds. “CLONE” appears on the LCD, fol-

lowed by “FRQTBL 1”.

6. Select the same channel table number as the clone tar-

get/s.

7. Press the [S] key on the clone source to begin data trans-

mission. When the clone target starts to receive data, the
green LED will light and “CLONING” will appear on the
LCD. The source unit will display “MASTER”.

8. When the clone source fi nishes sending data, a “confi r-

mation” tone will sound and “COMPLETE” will appear on
the LCD. If data transmission failed while cloning, the tar-
get unit will produced an error tone and “CLONE NG” will
appear on the LCD.

9. If the cloning fails, no data will be available in the target

unit when it is returned to User mode.

10. When the cloning is successful, the target unit's “Scan”

and “Key lock” functions will return to their default values
(Scan = OFF, Key lock = OFF).

11. The source will remain in clone mode after cloning. The

target unit will return to user mode after a successful
cloning.

Note:

• The dealer can clone data to two or more transceivers by

repeating the above procedures.

• If the transceivers wireless clone Mode is confi gured as

“Disabled”, the transceiver cannot enter Clone mode.

• The table shown below will cover the frequency tables

used for wireless cloning.

• Wireless clone mode cannot be entered in battery low

state.

• A unit cannot be a “Source Unit” if it is unprogrammed. If

the [S] key is pressed, an “error” tone will sound.

• Once a unit is set to be the source, it cannot be a target

after the data has been transmitted. This protects the
data in the source unit.

• MSK signaling is used in cloning.

• Electronic interface may cause a failure in data transfer

during Wireless Clone, such as when waveforms or elec-
tromagnetics are being performed at the workbench.

• Wireless clone mode can be used ONLY by the autho-

rized service personnel.

• The wireless clone mode setting must be confi gured as

“Disable” before being delivered to the end-user.

• To wireless clone, replace the antenna from both the

source transceiver and the target transceiver with a dum-
my load.

• The transmit output power is automatically set to Low in

Clone mode.

4-4. Adding the Data Password

If the Data password is set to the transceiver, you must

enter the password to activate a clone mode. The maximum
length of the password is 6 digits.
The following describes how to enter the password.
1. Press and hold the [<B] key for 2 seconds while turning

the transceiver power on.

2. “CLN.LOCK.R”(When the Read authorization password

is set to the transceiver.) / “CLN.LOCK.W” (When the
Overwrite password is set to the transceiver.) is displayed
on the LCD.

3. If the [selector] knob is rotated while “CLN.LOCK.R”/

“CLN.LOCK.W” is displayed, the number (0 to 9) fl ashes
on the LCD.

When you press the [C>] key, the currently selected num-
ber is determined.

If you press the [A] key, the least digit of the password is
deleted.

If you press the [S] key after entering the password in this
procedure, “FRQTBL 1” is displayed if the entered pass-
word is correct.

If the password is incorrect, “CLN.LOCK.R”/ “CLN.LOCK.
W” is redisplayed. (with error tone)
