17TK-780/HREALIGNMENTNotes :• To start the Firmware Programmer from KPG-49D, theFPRO path must be set up by KPG-49D setup.• This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware program-ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft-ware (KPG-49D).• When programming the firmware, it is recommend tocopy the data from the floppy disk to your hard disk be-fore update the radio firmware.Directly copying from the floppy disk to the radio may notwork because the access speed is too slow.6-4. Function1. If you press the [MON] switch while “PROG 57600” isdisplayed, the checksum is displayed. If you press the[MON] switch again while the checksum is displayed,“PROG 57600” is redisplayed.2. If you press the [D] switch while “PROG 57600” is dis-played, the display changes to “PROG 19200” to indicatethat the write speed is low speed (19200 bps). If youpress the [D] switch again while “PROG 19200” is dis-played, the display changes to “PROG 38400”, and thewrite speed becomes the middle speed (38400 bps). Ifyou press the [D] switch again while “PROG 38400” isdisplayed, the display returns to “PROG 57600”.Note :Normally, write in the high-speed mode.7. Clone ModeProgramming data can be transferred from one radio toanother by connecting them via their modular microphonejacks. The operation is as follows (the transmit radio is themaster and the receive radio is a slave).1. Turn the master TK-780/780H power ON with the [C] keyheld down. If the password is set to the TK-780/780H,the TK-780/780H displays “CLONE LOCK”. If the pass-word is not set, the TK-780/780H displays “CLONEMODE”.2. When “CLONE LOCK” is displayed, only the [System up/down] key (Trunking format), the [Group up/down] key(Conventional format) and [SCN], and [0] to [9] keys canbe accepted. When you enter the correct password, and“CLONE MODE” is displayed, the TK-780/780H can beused as the cloning master. The following describes howto enter the password.3. How to enter the password with the microphone keypad.If you press a key while “CLONE LOCK” is displayed, thenumber that was pressed is displayed on the TK-780/780H. Each press of the key shifts the display in order tothe left. When you enter the password and press the[SCN] key, “CLONE MODE” is displayed if the enteredpassword is correct. If the password is incorrect,“CLONE LOCK” is redisplayed.How to enter the password with the [System up/down]key (Trunking format), the [Group up/down] key (Conven-tional format);If the [System up/down] key (Trunking format), the[Group up/down] key (Conventional format) is pressedwhile “CLONE LOCK” is displayed, numbers (0 to 9) aredisplayed flashing. When you press the [SCN] key, thecurrently selected number is determined, and the displayshifts to the left. If you press the [SCN] key after enteringthe password in this procedure, “CLONE MODE” is dis-played if the entered password is correct. If the pass-word is incorrect, “CLONE LOCK” is redisplayed.4. Power on the slave TK-780/780H.5. Connect the cloning cable (No. E30-3382-05) to themodular microphone jacks on the master and slave.6. Press the [S] key on the master while the master displays“CLONE MODE”. The data of the master is sent to theslave. While the slave is receiving the data, “PRO-GRAM” is displayed. When cloning of data is completed,the mater displays “END”, and the slave automaticallyoperates 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[S] 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.Note :Only the same models can be cloned together.Cloning cable(E30-3382-05)Fig. 2
