The 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 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-134 Clone Cable between the MIC
MIC MIC MIC MIC /SP SP SP SP 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
CLONE CLONE CLONE 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 - - WAIT - - WAIT - - WAIT - - WAIT - ”
will appear on the LCD).
5. Press the key on the Source radio; “- - TX - - - - TX - - - - TX - - - - TX - - - - 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 ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ”
will be displayed. Check your cable connections and bat-
tery voltage, and try again.
7. If the data transfer is successful, “CLONE CLONE CLONE CLONE 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.
