Cloning - Vertex Standard VX-261 Service Manual

The VX-261 transceiver includes a convenient "Cloning" feature, which allows the programming data from one transceiver
to be transferred to another VX-261. Here is the procedure for Cloning one transceiver's data to another.
1. Turn both transceivers "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. Press and hold in the PTT and SIDE-1 switches (just
below the PTT switch) while turning the transceiver
"on" (the order of the switch-on operation does not
matter). When Clone mode is successfully activated in
this step.
5. On the Destination transceiver, press the SIDE-1
switch. The LED indicator on the top of the transceiv-
er will glow Green.

6. Press the PTT switch on the Source transceiver. The
LED indicator on the top of the transceiver will glow
Red, and the data will be transferred.
7. If there is a problem during the cloning process, the
LED indicator on the top of the transceiver will blink
Red; check your cable connections and battery volt-
age, and try again.
8. If the data transfer is successful, the LED indicator on
the top of the transceiver will turn off. Turn both trans-
ceivers "off" and disconnect the CT-27 cable. You can
then turn the transceivers back on, and begin normal
operation.
9. Replace the plastic cap and its two mounting screws.
