Cloning allows you to quickly and easily transfer the programmed contents from one transceiver to another transceiver; or, data from a PC to a transceiver using the optional CS-V8 CLONING SOFTWARE.

DTransceiver-to-transceiver cloning AT POWER ON

qConnect the OPC-474 CLONING CABLE with

adaptor plugs to the [SP] jack of the master and sub-trans- ceivers.

•The master transceiver is used to send data to the sub-transceiver. w While pushing [A•FUNC] + [Y], turn power ON to enter cloning mode (master transceiver only— power ON only for sub-trans-

ceiver).

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

ePush [PTT] on the master transceiver.

•“CL” appears in the master transceiver’s display and two digit num- bers show that data is being transferred to the sub-transceiver.

•“CL IN” appears automatically in the sub-transceiver’s display and two digit numbers show that data is being received from the master

transceiver.

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