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

/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

” 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 -

”

will appear on the LCD).

5. Press the

key on the Source radio; “- - 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

”

will be displayed. Check your cable connections and bat-
tery voltage, and try again.

7. If the data transfer is successful, “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.
