Cloning
The VX-5500 includes a convenient โCloneโ feature,
which allows the programming data from one trans-
ceiver to be transferred to another VX-5500. Here is
the procedure for Cloning one radio's data to anoth-
er.
Note: When a cloning isn't made, you correct the fol-
lowing part using "CE49."
When a "Radio to Radio Clone" which is in the
"Miscellaneous" menu is "Disabled," change this
menu to "Enabled."
1. Turn both transceivers off.
2. Remove the plastic cap and its two mounting
screws from the Microphone jack on the trans-
ceiver. Do this for both transceivers.
3. Connect the optional CT-72 cloning cable be-
tween the Microphone jacks of the two trans-
ceivers.
4. On the Destination transceiver, press and hold
the PF Button (just below the POWER Button)
while turning the transceiver on.
5. Now, on the source transceiver, press and hold
the ๎ Button while turning the transceiver
on.Data will now be transferred to the Destina-
tion transceiver from the source transceiver.
6. If there is a problem during the cloning process,
sound an error beep from source the transceiver.
Check your cable connections and battery volt-
age, and try again.
7. If cloning is a successful, turn the Destination
transceiver off. Now turn the source transceiver
off.
8. Disconnect the CT-72. Replace the plastic cap
and its two mounting screws.
9. You can then turn the transceivers back on, and
begin normal operation.
DealerProgramming of VTP-50 and F5D-14
These procedures are designed to be used by the installing technician after the VTP-50 and F5D-14 has
been installed in the transceiver. To program a VX-5500's VTP-50 and F5D-14 board, you will need the
CT-71 programming interface cable, the CE-26 Programming diskette, and an IBM PC/AT or PS/2-
compatible type computer.
To enter the Programming mode, use the follow-
ing procedure:
1. Turn the transceiver off.
2. Turn on the transceiver while holding in the
PF Button (just below the ๎ Button).
