8 CLONING

Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed data from one transceiver to another transceiver, or, data from PC to a transceiver using the optional CS-A23 cloning software.

DTransceiver to transceiver cloning

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

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

wWhile push and holding [Y]

+ [Z],push [PWR] ON to enter cloning mode (for both the master transceiver and slave transceiver both.).

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

ePush [ENT] on the master

transceiver.

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

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

NOTE: DO NOT transfer the data from IC-A23 to IC-A5, when the data contains the NAV band data. In such case, cloning error may occur.

Cloning using PC

Data can be cloned to and from a PC (IBM compatible) using the optional CS-A23 CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-478 CLONING CABLE. Consult the CS-A23 CLONING SOFTWARE HELP message for details.

DCloning error

NOTE: DO NOT push [ENT] 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.
