Programming information
• We recommend that you should read out all the transceiver’s data before start entering/editing parameters even if
the transceiver is factory fresh. This avoids rare glitches which might cause programming errors when writing back the
altered parameters.
•CS-F5060 has 5 model types. You can select the desired model type which you are going to clone. LMR (2Tone), LMR

4.“Auto Transmit” – Also known as “Radio Spy” allows
the dispatcher to send a 5-Tone signal to the radio
causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio (Hot
Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening in the
proximity of the radio. This is also very useful in
emergency cases where the user may not be able to
trigger the microphone.
5.“Stun/Kill – This function allows the dispatch console
to disable temporarily or permanently a unit using the 5-
Tone capabilities. When “Stun” is used, the unit may
regain its functionality by entering a password. When Kill
is used, the radio only regains functionality by
reprogramming the unit using the cloning software.
6.“Scan Start/Cancel” – Using 5-Tone a dispatcher can
send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the
“Scan” function of the radio. If used with a group of
users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup
everyone in a different channel. This feature is also
known as “Radio Regroup”.
