Operation Manual

VX-8DR/DE OPERATING MANUAL 135
The VX-8DR/DE includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and
configuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-8DR/DE. This
can be particularly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service
operation. 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 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
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.
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.
The cloning operation cannot be performed between the VX-8DR and VX-8DE.
