Cloning

The VX-410/-420series includes a convenient Cloning feature, which allows the programming data from one trans- ceiver to be transferred to another VX-410/-420series. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio's data to another.

1.Turn both transceivers off.

2.Remove the plastic cap and its two mounting screws from the MIC/SP jack on the right side of the trans- ceiver. Do this for both transceivers.

3.Connect the optional CT-27cloning cable between the MIC/SP jacks of the two transceivers.

4.Press and hold in the PTT and Soft key assigned to “MONITOR” while turning the transceiver on. Do this for both transceivers (the order of the switch-on does not matter). “CLONE” will appear on the displays (for the VX-420series) of both transceivers when Clone mode is successfully activated in this step; in the case of the VX-410series, no change will be observed at this point.

5.On the Destination transceiver, press the Soft key as- signed to “MONITOR”. “LOADING” will appear on the LCD (for VX-420series; for VX-410series, the TX/ BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will glow Green).

6.Press the PTT switch on the source transceiver; “SEND- ING” will appear on the Source transceiver (for VX- 420 series; for VX-410series, the TX/BUSY indica- tor on the top of the radio will glow Red), and the data will be transferred.

7.If there is a problem during the cloning process, “ER- ROR” will appear on the LCD (for VX-420series; for VX-410series, the TX/BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will blink Red); check your cable connec- tions and battery voltage, and try again.

8.If the data transfer is successful, the display will return to “CLONE” (for VX-420series; for VX-410series, the TX/BUSY indicator on the top of the radio will turn off). Turn both transceivers off and disconnect the CT-27cable. You can then turn the transceivers back on, and begin normal operation.

9.Replace the plastic cap and its two mounting screws.
