It is possible to copy/duplicate the programmed messages, and all the IDs of the members,
when using the “Message” function.
If messages (max 20 messages) and IDs (max 20 persons) are programmed in only one
transceiver (
FTM-10SR ), the information can be copied to the transceivers of all members
at once, without connecting any cables.
Note : This message clone function will only operate using the Club Channel frequency in
the 440 MHz amateur band.
Recall and monitor the Club Channel frequency. If the channel is busy and any signal
is heard, the message clone function cannot work correctly. Change the Club Chan-
nel to a frequency not in use, and clone the messages and the IDs.
Preparations (Source Transceiver)
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. Press and hold the
PTT key while turning the power on
again.
3. The “
TX CLONE
” notation and the Club Channel frequency
appear on the display alternately.
Preparations (Destination Transceiver)
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. Press and hold the [
VOL/SEL
] key while turning the power
on again.
3. Rotate the DIAL knob to select the “
SF2 COPY MSG
”.
Cloning
1. Bring the Source Transceiver and the Destination Transceiver as close as possible.
2. Press the top panel
key on the Source Transceiver.
The Destination Transceiver does not require any set up operation.
When receiving clone data from the “Source Transceiver”, the “Destination Transceiver”
automatically stores all the data. The LED blinks for 3 seconds with a blue color, then
displays “
MSG
” and “
RECEIVED
” on the LCD. The “Destination Transceiver” auto-
matically turns off and on, then returns to normal operation and mode set before the
Clone operation began. The copy/clone procedure is completed.
After completion of the copy/cloning, set your “MY ID” (see page 49). By setting the “MY
ID”, your ID will be displayed with the messages you send.
If “
ERROR
” is displayed on the LCD screen during the Clone procedure, the cloning has
not completed correctly. In this case, first turn the radio off and back on, then try the cloning
procedure again. In this case, please be aware of the following advice.
P
The distance between the source transceiver and destination transceiver must be close.
P
Signals on the Club Channel frequency may interrupt the data transfer.
P
Any equipment that generates electrical noise may interrupt the data transfer.
