Cloning
The IC-705 has a data cloning capability. This
function is useful when you want to copy all
of the settings and entered contents from one
IC-705 to another. This section describes the
cloning method using a microSD card.
LRecorded voice memories are not included in the
cloning data. To play back the master transceiver’s
voice memory, insert the microSD card into a
sub transceiver, or make a copy onto the sub
transceiver’s microSD card using a PC.
LAssumes that the microSD card has already been
inserted into the transceiver.
Step 1� Saving the master transceiver’s
setting data onto the microSD card�
1. Open the SAVE SETTING screen.
»
SET > SD Card > SD Card
2. Touch “<<New File>>.”
LThe file name is automatically set in the
following format: Setyyyymmdd_xx (yyyy: Year,
mm: month, dd: day, xx: serial number).
3. To save the file with the displayed name,
touch [ENT].
LTo change the name, delete the name, reenter
it, and then touch [ENT].
4. Touch [YES].
• Saves the contents and settings.
5. To close the SD CARD screen, push
several times.
Step 2� Remove the microSD card from the
master transceiver, then insert it into
the sub transceiver�
1. Turn OFF the master transceiver.
2. Remove the microSD card from the master
transceiver.
3. Insert the card into the sub transceiver, then
turn ON the sub transceiver.
NOTE:
• Turn OFF the transceiver before you insert or
remove the microSD card.
• DO NOT turn OFF the transceiver while saving or
loading the setting data. Otherwise, the data may
be corrupted or deleted.
