Self Programming Mode - Kenwood TK-5210 K Service Manual

7. Clone Mode
(K2 and K3 models only)
Programming data can be transferred from one trans-
ceiver to another by connecting them via their external uni-
versal connectors. The operation is as follows (the transmit
transceiver is the master and the receive transceiver is a
slave).
The following data cannot be cloned.
• Tuning data
• Embedded message with password
• Model name data
• ESN data
Key guide on the "INPUT PASSWORD" display.
• CNF([A] key): The password confirmation
• DEL([B] key): Delete the least digit from the current pass-
word number
• SET([D] key): Determine the least digit of the password
number
1. Press and hold the [Side2] and [PTT] keys while turning
the transceiver power on and then release the [Side2] key
first. If the Read authorization password is set to the trans-
ceiver, the transceiver displays "CLONE LOCK". If the
password is not set, the transceiver displays "CLONE
MODE".
2. When you enter the correct password, and "CLONE
MODE" is displayed, the transceiver can be used as the
cloning master. The following describes how to enter the
password.
3.
• How to enter the password using the keypad (K3 model
only);
If the [D] key is pressed while "CLONE LOCK" is displayed,
the Read authorization password input screen (INPUT
PASSWORD) is displayd.
If one of keys 0 to 9 is pressed while "INPUT PASSWORD"
is displayed, the pressed number is displayed on the LCD.
Each press of the key shifts the display in order to the left.
When you enter the password and press the [A] or [✳]
key, "CLONE MODE" is displayed if the entered pass-
word is correct. If the password is incorrect, "CLONE
LOCK" is redisplayed.
• How to enter the password using the [Side2] and [Side3]
keys (K2 and K3 models);
If the [D] key is pressed while "CLONE LOCK" is displayed,
the Read authorization password input screen (INPUT
PASSWORD) is displayd.
If the [Side2] key or [Side3] key is pressed while "INPUT
PASSWORD" is displayed, the number (0 to 9) flashes on
the LCD. When you press the [D] key, the currently
selected number is determined. If you press the [A] key
after entering the password in this procedure, "CLONE
MODE" is displayed if the entered password is correct. If
the password is incorrect, "CLONE LOCK" is redisplayed.
4. Power on the slave transceiver.
5. Connect the cloning cable (part No. E30-3325-05) to the
universal connectors on the master and slave.
6. Press the [Side1] or [A] key on the master while the mas-
ter displays "CLONE MODE". The data of the master is
sent to the slave. While the slave is receiving the data,
"PROGRAM" is displayed. When cloning of data is com-
REALIGNMENT
pleted, the master displays "END", and the slave auto-
matically operates in the User mode. The slave can then
be operated by the same program as the master.
7. The other slave can be continuously cloned. When the
[Side1] or [A] key on the master is pressed while the mas-
ter displays "END", the master displays "CLONE
MODE". Carry out the operation in step 4 to 6.
Notes:
• Can not be cloned if the password (over write password)
is programmed to the slave.
• "Model Name and Market Code" must be same to clone
the transceiver. However, it may be unable to clone the
transceiver depending on the enhanced features settings.
(Refer to the FPU for the enhanced features details.)

8. Self Programming Mode

(K2 and K3 models only)
Write mode for frequency data and signaling etc. To be
used ONLY by the authorized service person maintaining the
user's equipment. After programming, reset the FPU to the
"Self- Programming" disabled mode. Transceivers CANNOT
be delivered to the end-user in the self-programming mode.
The following setup items in the channels programmed by
the FPU can be changed using the self-programming mode.
The addition of new channel and the deletion of channel that
has already been programmed by the FPU cannot be
performed using the self-programming mode.
• RX frequency
• TX frequency
• Channel type
• TX mode (When the channel type is selected "MIXED".)
• Channel spacing
• RX signaling
• TX signaling
• RX NAC
• TX NAC
• Talkgroup list number
Note:
The personality will be also changed when the above-
mentioned items is changed. (Refer to the FPU for the
personality details.)
