Note: If cloned failed, the Master Radio will momentarily “ Source Clone Error” or “Destination Clone Locked” its

 possible that the Target zone is blocked from accepting any incoming clone. (See Figure 9)

 Possible cloning fail causes are, Zone Programmed to block clone, Target radio not on, Cloning Cable unplugged 

 or not connected correctly or Incompatible Radio.

8. After the clone is complete, disconnect the cloning cable from the target radio and connect a new target radio to clone.

Repeat the steps to clone to another target radio.

9. After all clones are complete, remove the cloning cable on both radios press the “ESC” key twice on the Master radio to

exit out of the programming menu and return to normal operation. (See Figure 10)
