VX-8R O PERATING M ANUAL 135The VX-8R includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and con-figuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-8R. This can beparticularly 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-134 Clone Cable between the MICMICMICMICMIC/SPSPSPSPSP 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 notmatter). “CLONECLONECLONECLONECLONE” will appear on the displays of both ra-dios when the Clone mode is successfully activated in thisstep.4. On the Destination radio, press the key (“- WAIT -- WAIT -- WAIT -- WAIT -- WAIT -”will appear on the LCD).5. Press the key on the Source radio; “- - TX - -- - TX - -- - TX - -- - TX - -- - TX - -” willappear on the Source radio, and the data from this radiowill be transferred to the other radio.6. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “ERRORERRORERRORERRORERROR”will be displayed. Check your cable connections and bat-tery voltage, and try again.7. If the data transfer is successful, “CLONECLONECLONECLONECLONE” will reappear onboth displays. Turn both radios off and disconnect the CloneCable.
