Notes: • If you don't want to save the value you just programmed, turn radio OFF or change channel using the channel knob. • If you ‘roll-over’ to the beginning at Idle Programming Mode you will hear a ‘chirp’ and radio LED will start blinking green again. All values that were changed will be automatically saved. Programming Mode FAQ 1. I got distracted while programming and forgot which digit I was programming. What should I do? 2.
4. When I was programming I made a mistake and program the wrong value. How can I erase it or re-program it? 6. I am done programming the features in this channel and want to program another channel. If you make a mistake while programming a value you have two choices: Switch to the new channel you wish to program by using the Channel Selector Knob. The radio will go into to the 'Idle' Programming Mode.
• Short press the PTT button to enter Frequency Mode. Radio will signal current value ‘0’ (orange blink) • Press the SB1 button once to increase first digit to ‘1’. • Short press the PTT button once to move ahead and program the frequency’s second digit.

If no transmission occurs within five seconds, scanning will resume. • If you want to scan a channel without Interference Eliminator Codes (CTCSS/DPL), set the code settings for the channels to ‘0’ in the CTCSS/DPL Programming Selection Mode. Whenever the radio is set up in Scan, the LED will signal a red blink. Note: (*)Assumes the SB2 button is not programmed to other function different from the default.
CPS (COMPUTER PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE) Radio to be programmed e oftwar CPS S USB Connector Drop-in Charger Tray Mini-connector CPS Programming Cable PROGRAMMING FEATURES The easiest way to program or change features in your radio is by using the Computer Programming Software (CPS) and the CPS Programming Cable(*). To do so, connect the XTNi radio via the Dropin Charger Tray and CPS Programming Cable as shown in the picture above.
Bandwidth Select Scramble Default setting for Bandwidth Select is 12.5 KHz. Some frequencies have selectable channel spacing, which must match other radios for optimum audio quality. The Scramble feature makes transmissions sound garbled to anyone listening without the same code. Scramble default value is OFF. Time-Out Timer When pressing PTT buttons, transmissions can be terminated by setting up a Time-Out Timer. The radio can be programmed to turn the radio ‘OFF’ in either 60, 120 or 180 seconds.
CLONING RADIOS You can copy XTNi™ Series radio profiles from one Source radio to a Target radio by using any of these 3 methods: 1. One Multi Unit Charger (optional accessory) 2. Two single unit chargers and a Radio-toRadio cloning cable (optional accessory) 3. the CPS Cloning with a Multi-Unit Charger (MUC) To clone radios using the MUC, there must be at least two radios: by pairs as follows: 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 or 5 and 6.
Press and release SB1. 4. After cloning is completed, the Source radio will sound either a ‘pass’ tone (cloning was successful) or a ‘fail’ tone (cloning process has failed). The ‘pass’ tone sounds like a good key ‘chirp’ whereas the ‘fail’ tone sounds similar to a ‘bonk’ tone. If the Source radio is a display model, it will either show ‘Pass’ or ‘Fail’ on the display (a tone will be heard within 5 seconds). 5.
Operating Instructions 1. Before beginning the cloning process, make sure you have: • A fully charged battery on each one of the radios. • Two Single Unit Chargers (SUC). • Turned OFF the radios and, • Both radios are of the same radio model. 2. Unplug any cables (power supply or USB cables) from the SUCs. PROGRAMMING FEATURES 3. Plug one side of the cloning cable mini connector to one SUC. Plug the other end to the second SUC. Note: During the cloning process no power is being applied to the SUC.
What to do if cloning fails The radio will emit an audible ‘bonk’ indicating that the cloning process has failed. In the event that cloning fails, try performing each of the following before trying to start the cloning process again: 1. Ensure that the batteries on both radios are fully charged. 2. Check the cloning cable connection on both SUCs. 3. Ensure that the battery is engaged properly on to the radio. 4. Ensure that there is no debris in the charging tray or on the radio contacts. 6.
