Additional Information
Cloning the Programmed Data
You can transfer the programmed data to and from a
PRO-404 scanner using an optional connecting cable
with Ç-inch (3.5mm) stereo phone plugs on both
ends (available from your local RadioShack store or
www.RadioShack.com).

2. Connect the connecting cable to each scanner's
PC/IF jack. CLOnE and UP to SEnd appears.
. Press e on the host scanner.

remove the cable.
CLOnE and Error may alternately appear when the
scanner receives data from a scanner other than a
PRO-404. If this happens when the scanner is receiving
data from another PRO-404, turn off the scanner and
turn it on again.

Computer
