VX-6R OPERATING MANUAL86The VX-6R includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configu-ration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-6R. This can be particu-larly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation. Hereis the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:1. Turn both radios off.2. Connect the user-constructed cloning cable and two optional CT-91 Microphone Adapt-ers (one on each end) between the MIC/SP jacks of the two radios.3. Press and hold in the [F/W] key while turning the radios on. Dothis for both radios (the order of switch-on does not matter). The“CLONE” notation will appear on the displays of both radios.4. On the Destination radio, press the [V/M(DW)MT] key(“--WAIT--” will appear on the LCD).5. Press the [BAND(SCN)BND DN] key on the Source radio;“----TX----” will appear on the Source radio, and the data fromthis radio will be transferred to the other radio.6. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “ERROR” willbe displayed. Check your cable connections and battery voltage,and try again.7. If the data transfer is successful, “CLONE” will reappear on theSource radio and the Destination radio will return to the normal operation. Turn bothradios off and disconnect the cloning cable. You can then turn the Source radio backon, and begin normal operation.CLONING
