Clone Mode - Kenwood TK-2200 Service Manual

TK-2200

5. Clone Mode

5-1. Outline
"Clone Mode" copies the transceiver data to another
transceiver.
The dealer can copy the transceiver data to another
transceiver even without the use of a personal computer.
5-2. Example
The transceiver can copy the programming data to one or
more transceivers via RF communication.
The clone master and clone slave/s must be in Clone mode.
5-3. Operation
1. To switch the clone slave/s to Clone mode, press and hold
the [PTT] and [Scan] keys while turning the transceiver
power ON.
2. Wait for 2 seconds. The LED will light orange and the
transceiver will announce "Clone".
3. Select a channel table number using Lock(increment
channel table) and Scan(decrement channnel table) keys.
4. To switch the clone master to Clone mode, press and hold
the [PTT] and [Scan] keys while turning the transceiver
power ON.
5. Wait for 2 seconds. The LED will light orange and the
transceiver will announce "Clone".
6. Select the same channel table number as the clone slave/s.
7. Press [PTT] on the clone master to begin data transmission.
When the clone slave starts to receive data, the LED will
light green.
When the clone master finishes sending data, a
"confirmation" tone will sound.
If data transmission fails while cloning, an "error" tone will
sound from the Slave unit.
8. If the cloning fails, no data will be available in the Slave unit
when it is returned to User mode.
9. When the cloning is successful, the Slave unit's "Scan"
function will return to their default values (Scan = OFF).
Notes:
• The dealer can clone data to two or more transceivers by
repeating the above procedures.
• If the transceivers Clone Mode is configured as "Disabled",
the transceiver cannot enter Clone mode.
• The table shown below will cover the frequency tables used
for wireless cloning.
• Clone mode cannot be entered in battery low state.
• A unit cannot be a "Master Unit" if it is unprogrammed. If
[PTT] is pressed, an "error" tone will sound.
• Once a unit is set to be the Master, it cannot be a slave
after the data has been transmitted. This protects the data
in the Master unit.
• If the Slave unit is cloned successfully, it will return to User
Mode.
• If the Slave unit is not cloned successfully, the led will
remain Orange.

REALIGNMENT
• The Master Unit and Slave Unit must be of the same model
type and destination in order for Clone to operate.
• Clone mode cannot be accessed if "Super Lock" is
activated.
• Electronic interface may cause a failure in data transfer
during Wireless Clone, such as when waveforms or
electromagnetics are being performed at the workbench.
• Clone mode can be used ONLY by the authorized service
personnel.
• The Clone mode setting must be configured as "Disable"
before being delivered to the end-user.
• To clone, replace the antenna from both the master
transceiver and the slave transceiver with a dummy
load.
• The transmit output power is automatically set to Low
in Clone mode.
