VX-5R OPERATING MANUAL 59
The VX-5R includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configu-
ration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-5R. This can be particu-
larly useful when configuring a number of transceivers for a public service operation. Here
is the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:

Turn both radios off.

Connect the optional CT-27 cloning cable between the MIC/EAR jacks of the two
radios.

Press and hold the
[
F/W
]
key while turning the radios on. Do this for both radios (the
order of the switch-on does not matter). “CLONE” will appear on the displays of both
radios when the Clone mode is successfully activated in this step.

On the Destination radio, press the
[
MR
(
SKP
)
SC
]
key (“CLONE WAIT” will appear on the LCD).

Press the
[
VFO
(
DW
)
SC
]
key on the Source radio;
“CLONE TX” will appear on the Source radio, and
the data is transferred.

If there is a problem during the cloning process,
“CLONE ERROR” will be displayed. Check your
cable connections and battery voltage, and try again.

If the data transfer is successful, the Destination ra-
dio will return to normal operation; the Source radio
will still be in the clone mode, with “CLONE TX” still displayed. Turn both radios off
and disconnect the CT-27. You can then turn the radios back on, and begin normal
operation.
