Cloning
The
VX-131/-132
series includes a convenient “Cloning” feature, which allows the programming data from one transceiv-
er to be transferred to another VX-131/-132 series. Here is the procedure for cloning one radio’s data to another.
1. Turn both transceiver off.
2. Remove the plastic cap and its two mounting screws
from the MIC/SP jack on the right side of the trans-
ceiver. Do this for both transceivers
3. Connect the optional CT-27 cloning cable between the
MIC/SP jacks of the two transceivers.
4. Turn the radio on while pressing and holding in the
MONITOR button.
5. Hold in the MONITOR button until the LED indicator
blinks orange (approx. 5 seconds), the release the
MONITOR button. Do this for both transceiver (the
order of the switch-on does not matter).
6. On the Destination transceiver , press the MONITOR
button. The LED indicator will change to green.
7. Press the PTT button on the Source transceiver , the
LED indicator will change to red, and the data will be
transferred.
8. If there is a problem during the cloning process, the
LED indicator will blink green; check your cable con-
nections and battery voltage, and try again.
9. If the data transfer is successful, the LED indicator
return to blinking orange. Turn both transceivers off
and disconnect
CT-27 cable. You can then turn the
transceivers back on, and begin normal operation.
