7. Press F10 on the personal computer. A window opens on
the display to indicate the writing progress. When the TK-
372G begins to receive data, the LED lights green.
8. When data is received successfully, a checksum appears

To start the Firmware Programmer from KPG-56D, the Fpro
path must be set up by the KPG-56D Setup.
This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Programming
mode is set to Disable in the Programming software (KPG-
56D).
When programming the firmware, it is recommend to copy
the data from the floppy disk to your hard disk before you
update the radio firmware.
Directly copying from the floppy disk to the radio may not
work because the access speed is too slow.

7. Clone Mode

Programming data can be transferred from one radio to
another by connecting them via their SP/MIC connectors. The
operation is as follows (the transmit radio is the master and
the receive radio is the slave).
1. Turn the master TK-372G power ON with the [Side1]+[3]
key held down. The TK-372G displays "
2. Power on the slave TK-372G.
3. Connect the cloning cable to the SP/MIC connectors on
the master and slave.
°
4. Press the [ ] key on the master while the master displays
" CLONE ". The data of the master is sent to the slave.
While the slave is receiving the data, "-PC-" 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 operated by the same program as the master.
5. The other slave can be continuously cloned. When the [
key on the master is pressed while the master displays
"END", the master displays "
