Notes:

• To start the Firmware Programmer from KPG-49D, the
Fpro 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 to
copy the data from the floppy disk to your hard disk be-
fore update the radio firmware.
Directry copying from the floppy disk to the radio may not
work because the access speed is too slow.

6-4. Function

1. If you press the [MON] switch (top of left side) while
“PROG 57600” is displayed, 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 [LAMP] switch (bottom of left side) while
“PROG 57600” is displayed, the display changes to
“PROG 19200” to indicate that the write speed is low
speed (19200 bps). If you press the [LAMP] switch again
while “PROG 19200” is displayed, the display changes to
“PROG 38400”, and the write speed becomes the
middle-speed mode (38400 bps). If you press the [LAMP]
switch again while “PROG 38400” is displayed, the dis-
play returns to “PROG 57600”.

Note:

Normally, write in the high-speed mode.

7. Clone Mode

Programming data can be transferred from one radio to
another by connecting them via their external universal con-
nectors. The operation is as follows (the transmit radio is the
master and the receive radio is a slave).
1. Turn the master TK-480/481 power ON with the [C] key
held down. If the password is set to the TK-480/481, the
TK-480/481 displays “CLONE LOCK”. If the password is
not set, the TK-480/481 displays “CLONE MODE”.
2. When “CLONE LOCK” is displayed, only the knob (en-
coder) and [S], and [0] to [9] keys can be accepted. When
you enter the correct password, and “CLONE MODE” is
displayed, the TK-480/481 can be used as the cloning
master. The following describes how to enter the pass-
word.
3. How to enter the password with the keypad;
If you press a key while “CLONE LOCK” is displayed.
The number that was pressed is displayed on the TK-480/
481. Each press of the key shifts the display in order to
the left. When you enter the password and press the [S]
key, “CLONE MODE” is displayed if the entered pass-
word is correct. If the password is incorrect, “CLONE
LOCK” is redisplayed.
How to enter the password with the encoder;
If the encoder is rotated while “CLONE LOCK” is dis-
played, numbers (0 to 9) are displayed flashing. When
you press the [S] key, the currently selected number is
determined. If you press the [S] key after entering the
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-480/481.
5. Connect the cloning cable (No. E30-3325-05) to the uni-
versal connectors 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 the
slave. While the slave is receiving the data, “PROGRAM”
is displayed. When cloning of data is completed, the mas-
ter displays “END”, and the slave automatically operates
in the User mode. The slave can then be operated 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 displays
“END”, the master displays “CLONE MODE”. Carry out
the operation in step 4 to 6.

Note:

Only the same models can be cloned together.
