Connect two radios using a clone cable. Power on the source radio while holding down
SK2
, and it
will enter User Clone Mode after 2 seconds. The target radio can be directly turned on to enter the
User Mode. In this mode, data stored in EEPROM of the source radio will be cloned to EEPROM of
the target radio. The data transferred only involves channel data and general parameters, excluding
tuning data, version and serial No. and etc.

Firstly, make sure that the SELF pin of MCU on the source radio is grounded correctly, and then
connect two radios using a clone cable. Power on the source radio while holding down
SK2
, and it
will enter Factory Clone Mode after 2 seconds. The target radio can be directly turned on to enter the
User Mode. The data transferred involves all data in EEPROM (including settings for the Manual
Tune Switch), other than the serial No.

again
to clone data to the target radio.
2) During cloning, the LED of the source radio flashes red, and the LED of the target radio flashes green.
When cloning is completed, both LEDs go out, indicating that both radios are ready for another cloning.
3) If any abnormal situation occurs during cloning, the source radio will stop cloning and its red LED will
go out, indicating that it is ready for another cloning.
4) When cloning is completed, the source radio goes back to the standby status. Press
SK2
again to
begin another cloning.
