Clone Mode - Kenwood TK-5710 Service Manual

8. Clone Mode

Programming data can be transferred from one trans-
ceiver to another by connecting them via their microphone
jacks. 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 (Electronic Serial Number) data
1. Press and hold the [PF5] key while turning the transceiver
power ON. If the Read authorization password is set to
the transceiver, 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
read authorization password.
3.
• How to enter the read authorization password using
the microphone keypad;
If one of keys 0 to 9 is pressed while "CLONE LOCK" is
displayed, the pressed number is displayed on the LCD.
Each press of the key shifts the display in order to the left.
If you press the [#] key, the least digit of the password is
deleted.
When you enter the password and press the [✳] key,
"CLONE MODE" is displayed if the entered password is
correct. If the password is incorrect, "CLONE LOCK" is
redisplayed.
• How to enter the read authorization password using
the [Selector] knob;
If the [Selector] knob is rotated while "CLONE LOCK" is
displayed, the number (0 to 9) flashes on the LCD. When
you press the [GRP^] key, the currently selected number
is determined. If you press the [PF3] key, the least digit of
the password is deleted. If you press the [PF2] 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. E30-3370-05) to the
microphone jacks on the master and slave.
6. Press the [PF2] key on the master while the master dis-
plays "CLONE MODE". The data of the master is sent to
the slave. While the slave is receiving the data, "PRO-
GRAM" is displayed. When cloning of data is completed,
the master displays "END", and the slave automatically
operates in the User mode. The slave can then be oper-
ated by the same program as the master.
7. The other slave can be continuously cloned. When the
[PF2] key on the master is pressed while the master dis-
plays "END", the master displays "CLONE MODE".
Carry out the operation in step 4 to 6.
REALIGNMENT
Notes:
• Cannot be cloned if the overwrite password is pro-
grammed to the slave.
• "Model Name and Market Code", "Head Configuration" and
"Head Type" must be same to clone the transceiver. How-
ever, it may be unable to clone the transceiver depending
on the enhanced features settings.
(Refer to the FPU for the enhanced features details.)
