CLONING

The VX-8Rincludes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-8R. This can be particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service opera- tion. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:

1.Turn both radios off.

2.Connect the optional CT-134Clone Cable between the MIC/SP jacks of the two ra- dios.

3.Press and hold in the key while turning the radios on.

 

Do this for both radios (the order of switch-on does not

 

 

 

 

 

matter). “CLONE” will appear on the displays of both ra-

 

 

 

 

 

dios when the Clone mode is successfully activated in this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

step.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

On the Destination radio, press the

key (“- WAIT -”

 

 

 

 

 

will appear on the LCD).

 

 

 

 

 

5.

Press the

key on the Source radio; “- - TX - -” will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

appear on

the Source radio, and the data from this radio

 

(Destination radio)

 

will be transferred to the other radio.

 

 

 

 

 

6.

If there is a problem during the cloning process, “ERROR”

 

 

 

 

 

will be displayed. Check your cable connections and bat-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tery voltage, and try again.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(Source radio)

7.

If the data transfer is successful, “CLONE” will reappear on

 

 

 

 

 

 

both displays. Turn both radios off and disconnect the Clone

 

 

 

 

 

Cable. You can then turn the radios back on, and begin nor-

 

 

 

 

 

mal operation.
