©Cloning
Cloning is a method for sending copies of data or programs
from one PTC to another. The specific keys to press, the
sequence to follow, and the prompts that display vary according
to your application. Therefore, this procedure describes onl y
the general process of cloning. Refer to your individual
application documentation for specific instructions.
Before beginning the cloning procedure, be sure both PTCs are
fully charged. If either PTC turns off during the clonin g
operation, you must start the procedure again. In addition, you
should monitor the cloning procedure from s t art to finish. At
some points, the procedure requires action fro m you.
