"M" and "#" can be used for "A" and "b" respectively. ory channel. · Programmed memory channels only can be selected. Appears 24 5 MEMORY OPERATION I Programming a memory channel VFO settings, including the set mode contents such as subaudible tone frequency, etc. , can be programmed into a memory channel. w Push [MW(S. MW)] momentarily. · "M" indicator and the memory channel number blink. e Rotate the tuning dial to select the memory channel to be programmed. · Memory channels not yet programmed are blank. r Push [MW(S. MW)] for 1 sec. to program. · 3 beeps sound · Memory channel number automatically increases when continuing to push [MW(S. MW)] after programming. CONVENIENT Memory programming can be performed in versatile ways e. g. memory channel to the same (or different) memory channel, memory channel to the call channel, etc. [EXAMPLE]: Programming 145. 870 MHz into memory channel 20 (blank channel) via the front panel. Push V/MHz SCAN Rotate for setting frequency, etc. Push MW S. MW momentarily. Rotate Push MW S. MW for 1 sec. and continue to push " "Beep " Beep " Beep " 25 MEMORY OPERATION D Programming a memory channel via the microphone MW 5 The microphone can also be used to program memory channels. 3 beeps may sound and the VFO contents (including the subaudible tone frequency, etc. ) are programmed. Memory channel number increases when continuing to push [CLR A(MW)] after programming. z Set the desired frequency in VFO mode. offset frequency, duplex direction, subaudible tone encoder ON/OFF and its frequency), if necessary. Push [Y] or [Z] to select the memory channel (direct numeral input cannot be used). 5 [EXAMPLE]: Programming 145. 870 MHz into memory channel 20 (blank channel) via the microphone. Push Push Push then momentarily. Push Push then 1 sec. and continue to push " " "Beep Beep " Beep " 26 5 MEMORY OPERATION I Transferring memory contents This function transfers a memory channel's contents to VFO (or another memory/call channel). MW S. MW [EXAMPLE]: Programming "CLUB" into memory channel 1. Select memory channel 1, then push MONI for 1 sec. Push V/MHz SCAN . 30 5 MEMORY OPERATION Channel names can also be programmed via the microphone. z Select the memory/call channel to be assigned memory names. Push [MR/CALL] to select memory mode, then select the desired memory channel via [Y]/[Z] or keypad. · Scan edge channels can also be selected. Push [MR/CALL] for 1 sec. c Push [SET B(D-OFF)]. · Frequency readouts disappear. b Push [SET B(D-OFF)] or [ENT C(T-OFF)] to move the cursor to left or right, respectively. m Push [CLR A(MW)] to program the name and exit the channel name programming condition. , Push [FUNC], then push [MONI 1(ANM)] to return to frequency indication if desired. v Push [Y]/[Z] to select the desired character. · The selected character blinks. [EXAMPLE]: Programming "CLUB" into memory channel 1. Select memory channel 1, push , then push . Push . Push to select the character. 31 MEMORY OPERATION 5 I Memory bank selection q Push [M/CALL(PRIO)] to select memory mode, if desired. w Push [BANK(OPT)] to select memory bank condition. · Bank initial blinks BANK/OPTION Push [BANK(OPT)] to select memory bank mode. z Push [MR/CALL] to select memory mode, if desired. x Push [BANK/OPTION] to select memory bank condition. · Bank initial blinks 5 e Rotate the tuning dial to select the desired bank, A to J. · Banks that have no programmed contents are skipped. [Y]/[Z] c Push [Y]/[Z] to select the desired bank, A to J. · Only programmed memory bank can be selected. r Push [BANK(OPT)] to set the bank. · Initial stops blinking. v Push [BANK/OPTION] to set the bank. · Initial stops blinking. t Rotate the tuning dial to select the contents in the bank. · No channel numbers are displayed for memory bank operation. b Push [Y]/[Z] to select the desired contents in the bank. · No channel numbers are displayed for memory bank operation. n To return to regular memory condition, push [BANK/OPTION] twice. y To return to regular memory condition, push [BANK(OPT)] twice. 32 5 MEMORY OPERATION I Memory bank setting q Push [M/CALL(PRIO)] to select memory mode, then select the desired memory channel via the tuning dial. w Push [BANK(OPT)]. · "­ ­" indication blinks as follows. [. . . ] · "CLONE" appears and the transceivers enter the clone standby condition. Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed contents from one transceiver to another; or , data from a personal computer to a transceiver using the optional CS-V8000 CLONING SOFTWARE. D Cloning between transceivers q Connect the OPC-474 cloning cable to the [SP] jack of the master and sub-transceivers. · The master transceiver is used to send data to the sub-transceiver. To [SP] jack To [SP] jack OPC-474 (option) Pushing [MW(S. MW)] to start cloning (master transceiver). e Push [MW(S. MW)] on the master transceiver. · "CL OUT" appears in the master transceiver's display and the S/RF indicator shows that data is being transferred to the sub-transceiver. · "CL IN" appears automatically in the sub-transceiver's display and the S/RF indicator shows that data is being received from the master transceiver. r When cloning is finished, turn power OFF, then ON to exit cloning mode. 69 OTHER FUNCTIONS D Cloning using a personal computer Data can be cloned to and from a personal computer (Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/ME) using the optional CS-V8000 CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-478 CLONING CABLE. Consult the CS-V8000 CLONING SOFTWARE HELP file for details. 12 D Cloning error  NOTE: DO NOT push any key on the sub-transceiver during cloning. [. . . ]
