This manual contains instructions for using the PM4500 Programmer (simply referred to as the Programmer) to program the Mini-Corn@ Plus 16 and 99 Channel SM Series Transceivers. The Programmer has a non-volatile memory that requires no battery to maintain data. The Programmer is used for: 1.
A description of the 20 keys follows: CHANNEL Press this key and a digit key(s) to access a channel. OPTIONS Use this key for programming and reviewing the Options Parameters. SIMPLEX This key is NOT functional for the SM Series Transceivers. CLONE This key is used for transferring or cloning data from the Transceiver to the Programmer, or from the Programmer to the Transceiver. ESCAPE Press this key to abort or leave a programming function and to check the Programmer’s display.
NOTES: 1. Each time a Programmer key is pressed, a beep will be heard if an external speaker is plugged into the SM Series Transceiver. 2. If an invalid number is tried, the Programmer will simply not accept it. A Beep will still be heard, Indicating a key has been pressed. 3. Use the A for stepping up (or v for stepping down) to the next channel. 4. Press ESCAPE to abort any programming function or to stop. Display will momentarily show the Display Test pattern (see page 25) and then: 5.
10. Press TOGGLE key to toggle Y (Yes) to N (No) or vice versa. Press ENTER to store in memory and advance the display to Off Hook to Priority Channel. 5. Priority Delay. Display will show, for example: 11. Off Hook to Priority Channel. The display will show one of the following: B/inking 2 6. Enter a value 0, 1, 2 or 3. (See Table 2, page 7.) Press ENTER to store Priority Delay in memory and advance the display to Key Pad Beep. 7. Key Pad Beep.
15. Power Up on Channel 1. The display will show one of the following: 19. Message Annunciator. The display will show one of the following: Blinking 2 20. Press TOGGLE key to ON or OFF. If ON is Blinking 3‘ 16. Press TOGGLE key to toggle Y (Yes) to N (No) or vice versa. If Yes is selected, the Radio will always be on Channel 1 whenever it is turned ON (powered-up). If it was in the MANUAL Mode on Channel 13 (for example) when turned OFF, it will power-up on Channel 1.
WARNING: The Transceiver’s proper Range is determined at the time of manufacture. It should NOT be programmed unless components that affect the Unit’s memory have been replaced. It should never be changed to a different value. a. If programming is necessary, key in the proper value. See Table 4, below. b. Press ENTER to store Range number in the Transceiver’s memory. The display will return to the. start of Options and show Transmit Time-Out Tlmer.
For UHF models, the display will show one of the following: a. To delete the channel at this time, press DELETE. The display will show: Blinking - I Press ENTER to answer Yes. - Blinking if previously programmed NOTE: To answer No, press TOGGLE or any diait kev. Disolav will show, for example: Blinking or, if none is programmed 4. Key The 174 482 See page 24 for display sequence of a deleted channel. NOTE: If you make an error in number entry, start over by pressing CHANNEL and the correct number.
t 6. a. Enter a single digit code corresponding to the desired BCL status. BCL No = 0 For UHF models, the display will show one of the following: BCL Yes = 1 The display will show, for example: T - Blinking b. Enter a three-digit code corresponding to the desired CTCSS Tone Code from Table 5 on page 19 or DCS Code from Table 6 on pages 20 through 22. If you make an error in entering the digits, press DELETE and start over.
Press ENTER to store Transmit Frequency in memory. The display will advance to TX Tone Code. 8. TX Tone Code Display will show, for example: Not programmable; it 1‘ -f Blinking will always be the same as the RX BCL Code 9. Enter a three-digit code corresponding to the desired CTCSS Tone Code from Table 5 on page 19 or DCS Code from Table 6 on pages 20 through 22. NOTE: External Encode is selected by entering 155 (or higher, up to 189) for the TX Tone Code. See Table 7 on paae 23.

Press and hold ESCAPE. The Programmer’s display will show a characteristic Test Pattern with all segments on, thus: and then revert to: in the display when ESCAPE is released. After Programming or Cloning is completed: 1. Turn Transceiver power off. 2. Remove inter-connecting cable from transceiver. This feature permits duplicating (cloning) the same programmed data into any number of transceivers.
If the data to be duplicated (cloned) is NOT already in a Transceiver, proceed as follows: 3. When transfer is complete, the display will show: 1. Connect the PM4500 to the Transceiver to be programmed using proper Start-up procedure. 2. Enter the data into the transceiver by using the PM4500 normal programming functions. 3. Press CLONE. If “READ?” is in the display, press ENTER. If not, press CLONE again and then ENTER. This will copy the Transceiver’s entire data into the Programmer’s memory. 4.
An IErM@ PC-compatible computer with a serial port can be used for all programming and cloning functions the same as the PM4500. Consult the factory for details of the menu-driven software and the necessary Interface Adapter required between the PC and an SM Series Transceiver. A modular coupler can be used for connecting the Interface Adapter’s cable to the PM4500. This coupler is stored in the Programmer’s rear panel compartment. Programming the Transceiver is accomplished through its microphone jack.
