The ERW-8 is an optional cable like the ERW-7 cable which is connected to the USB port of a PC to allow the use of memory editing software. Moreover, you can use the ERW-8 to control most functions of the DJ­X11 in real time, and charge the battery pack. Note that these operations require additional software. The ERW-8 should be used together with the EDC-174 charger. The following setting is necessary when you use the ERW-8.

Precautions common to all connections
• Be sure to turn off both the DJ-X11 and external device before establishing any connection.
• The earphone jack of the DJ-X11 accepts a ø3.5 mm 4-pole stereo mini-plug. Refer to the diagrams below for wiring. A commonly-available 3-pole plug cable can also be used because the remote control terminal can be connected to the ground even while the EDS-12 is used and this terminal is not used for cable-cloning or PC connection.
Applicable plugs (Wiring of 4-pole plug)
The earphone jack of the DJ-X11 is wired as follows. Refer to the diagrams when you make a cable yourself. It is impossible to change the signals output to the terminals on the DJ-X11 side. Take other measures such as changing the wiring of the cable or changing the input setting of your receiving software.

If you use the DJ-X11 only to output signals to an earphone, an external speaker, ACARS software, or a low-speed packet TNC, you can use a cable, an earphone, or an external speaker with ø3.5 mm 2-pole monaural plugs. The earphone antenna function of the DJ-X11 can be used even with third-party earphones of such a structure. When you use these devices, set the DJ-X11 not to output detected signals and IQ signals.

• Do not operate any key while data is transferred by the clone function.
• Do not unplug the cable while data is being transferred. Doing so will suspend the data transfer operation, and “ERROR” will be displayed on the Master’s LCD. if this happens, perform the reset (P.101) to the slave unit and retry.
• Note that the cloning procedure overwrites all data stored in the Slave with the Master’s data. Make sure that the Slave does not have any necessary data.
