Icom Comprehensive Guide to Cloning for IC-A4 Marine Radios

Cloning allows you to quickly and easyly ] transfer the programmed contents from

one transceiver to another transceiver, or,

data from PC to a transceiver using the optional EX-2119 cloning software.

DTransceiver to transceiver cloning

qConnect the OPC-474 CLONING CABLE with adapter plugs to the [SP] jack of the master and slave transceivers.

•The master transceiver is used to send data to the slave trans- ceiver.

wWhile pushing [Y] + [Z] + [V/M], turn power ON to enter cloning mode (master transceiver only—power ON only for

slave transceiver).

•“CLonE” appears and the transceivers enter the clone standby condition.

ePush [PTT] on the master transceiver.

•“CLoUt” appears in the mas- ter transceiver’s display.

•“CL in” appears automati- cally in the slave trans- ceiver’s display.

eWhen cloning is finished, turn power OFF, then ON again to exit cloning mode.

DCloning using PC

Data can be cloned to and from a PC (IBM compatible) using the optional EX-2119 CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-

478 CLONING CABLE. Consult the EX-2119 CLONING SOFTWARE HELP

message for details.

DCloning error

NOTE: DO NOT push [PTT] on the slave transceiver dur- ing cloning. This will cause a cloning error.

When the display at right ap- pears, a cloning error has oc- curred.

In this case, both transceivers automatically return to the clone standby condition and cloning must be repeated.
