Cloning Radio Parameters to User Radios

Cloning Radio Parameters to User
Radios
Cloning duplicates the contents of Radio 1 (master radio)
into Radio 2 (slave radio). Tuning and alignment information
are not affected by cloning.

Parameters which are cloned

When a Dealer Configuration GP60 Series radio is used as
the master, the following parameters are cloned:
• Channel Settings: Rx and Tx frequencies, Offsets,
Receive and Transmit PL/DPL Codes, Default
Squelch Mode.
• Active User Parameters: High/Low Power Setting,
Squelch Level, Current Channel Selection.
• SPM Parameters: All User Modifiable parameters.
Additionally, when cloning the GP68 radios, the following
parameters are also cloned:
• Active User Parameters: PTT ID Transmit Enable/
Disable
• Phone Memories.
• SPM Parameters: User Modifiable parameters like
including Phone Access/De-access Codes, as well as
all dealer configured DTMF IDs (PTT, Individual,
Ack, Group, and All IDs).
• Option Board Setting configured through the Option
Board Setup Mode.

Option Board Setup Mode

The Option Board Setting should be set to OPTION OFF
( ´OPt.OFF´ ) in the Dealer's radio while programming chan-
nels to avoid any interaction with pre-installed option
boards. However, since the Signalling Squelch Mode can
only be accessed if the option board setting is not OPTION
OFF (not ´OPt.OFF´ ), it is recommended that any option
board be installed in the Dealer's radio only after all the user
configuration is completed.
1 Turn the radio on while holding down
holding until the radio sounds a ringing Option
Board Setup Mode start-up tone (takes about 3 seconds).
NOTE
At power-up, all display segments light for
about 2 seconds, followed by a brief display
of the software version which is installed in
your radio.
2 If the battery voltage level is low, the display indicates
, the ´BATT´ indicator flashes and the radio
sounds a low battery alert tone. You must turn off the
radio and replace, or recharge, the batteries.

If the batteries are above the threshold level, the radio

enters the Option Board Setup Mode and the LCD dis-
plays the current option board setting ( OPt.OFF,
SEL.CAL, dECOdE, SEriAL ). You can select among
the four options by using
through the options.

Parameters which are not cloned

• All hardware tuning and alignment parameters
• Unit Serial Number
When cloning the GP68 Keypad Model, the
Full Serial Option Board Configuration Data
(if any, which are stored in Signalling System
One or in Full Serial Option Board) is not
cloned.
Cloning will take approximately 3-5 seconds.
If any of the radios is turned off while clon-
ing, the other radio will display an error after
3 seconds (refer to Table 4-1, Cloning Error
Messages, on page 4-3 for explanation of
error messages).
