5.1.1 Error Codes (Display Radios Only)

"ERR: Mismatch" - The model numbers or the code plug versions are not the same for both radios.
Cloning cannot be performed.
"ERR: Timeout" - Communication between the two radios was not established or was disrupted
during the cloning process. If this occurs, check the cloning cable and all connections. Repeat the
cloning procedure.

Cloning (Privacy Plus)

This function is used to copy codeplug information from one radio to another one. A radio and RIB
must be properly connected to the computer and power turned on before you attempt the PROGRAM
function. The time required to PROGRAM a codeplug will depend on the computer and the size of the
codeplug you are programming. Only radios with the same model number, protocol option and
codeplug version may be cloned. Trunked radios may not be cloned unless System Keys have been
loaded for each trunking system ID. Tuning and alignment information are not transferable and are not
affected by cloning. Signalling Identification are duplicated in the cloning process. Unique IDs may be
assigned with the CPS.
WARNING: Do NOT turn off the radio or disconnect it from the computer while attempting to
!
PROGRAM the codeplug. Interrupting the programming process WILL DESTROY the code-
plug contents and completely DISABLE the radio.
Procedure:
1. Use the READ RADIO function to read the radio codeplug to be cloned. i.e. the "Source" code-
plug.
2. If required, enter the Individual ID's for the new radio. Trunking system keys (or FTR Key) are
required for cloning the Trunking System Data.
3. If required, go to the SDF merge screen, to merge SDF Trunking System Data.
4. Connect "Target" radio to the computer and press READ SERIAL NUMBER button to read the
"Target" radio's serial number. This number must be different from the "Source" codeplug, or the
cloning progress will fail.
5. Connect "Target" radio to the computer, and press the PROGRAM button to program the "Source"
codeplug into the "Target" radio.
6. The CPS will validate the code plug.
7. If it fails a warning screen will be displayed informing of the incompatibility between the CPS and
code plug, otherwise the information is written into the radio's code plug.
