1. Press and hold the [Orange] key while turning the trans-
ceiver power ON. If the Read authorization password is
set to the transceiver, the transceiver displays "CLONE
LOCK". If the password is not set, the transceiver dis-
plays "CLONE MODE".
2. When you enter the correct password, and "CLONE
MODE" is displayed, the transceiver can be used as the
cloning source. The following describes how to enter the
read authorization password.
3.
• How to enter the read authorization password using
the DTMF keypad of the KCH-16;
If one of keys 0 to 9 is pressed while "CLONE LOCK" is
displayed, the pressed number is displayed on the LCD.
Each press of the key shifts the display in order to the
left.
If you press the [ ] key, the least digit of the password is
deleted.
When you enter the password and press the [S] and [ ]
keys, "CLONE MODE" is displayed if the entered pass-
word is correct. If the password is incorrect, "CLONE
LOCK" is redisplayed.
4. Turn the target transceiver power ON.
5. Connect the cloning cable (part No. E30-3370-05) to the

The data of the source is sent to the target.
While the target is receiving the data, "PROGRAM" is
displayed. When cloning of the data is completed, the
source displays "END", and the target automatically
operates in the User mode. The target can then be oper-
ated by the same program as the source.
7. The other target can be continuously cloned. When the [A]
key on the source is pressed while the source displays
"END", the source displays "CLONE MODE".
Carry out the operations in steps 4 to 6.
Notes:
• Cannot be cloned if the overwrite password is pro-
grammed to the target.
• Cannot be cloned if the checksum in the Network File
area of the source transceiver and the target transceiver
is different.
• "Model Name and Market Code", "Head Confi guration"
and "Head Type" must be same to clone the transceiver.
However, combinations of KCH-15 and KCH-16 can be
cloned. In addition, you may be unable to clone the trans-
ceiver depending on the enhanced features settings.
(Refer to the FPU for the enhanced features details.)
• Under certain conditions, clone mode cannot be acti-
vated even if the clone mode of the source transceiver is
set to enable. Refer to the FPU for more details.
