VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 81

The VX-7R includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory and configu-

ration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another VX-7R. 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:

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 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 (“CLONE

WAIT” will appear on the LCD).

5. Press the key on the Source radio; “CLONE 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, “CLONE

ERROR” will be displayed. Check your cable connections

and battery voltage, and try again.

7. If the data transfer is successful, “CLONE” will reappear

on both displays. Turn both radios off and disconnect the

cloning cable and CT-91s. You can then turn the radios back on, and begin normal

operation.
