118 FT-857 Operating Manual
You can transfer all data stored in one transceiver to another set by utilizing the handy
“Cloning” feature. This requires a user-constructed cloning cable which connects the CAT/
LINEAR jacks on the two transceivers, as shown below.
To clone from one transceiver to another, use the following procedure:
1. Insert the Clone Cable into the CAT/LINEAR jack of each transceiver.
2. Turn both transceivers off, then press and hold in the
[
MODE
(

]
and
[
MODE
(
u
)
]
buttons on each radio while turning the power on again. The “CLONE MODE” notation
will appear on the display.
3. On the “destination” radio, press the
[
A
](
RCV
)
key.
4. Now, on the “source” radio, press the
[
C
](
SEND
)
key. Data
will now be transferred to the “Destination” radio from
the “Source” radio.
5. If there is a problem during the cloning process, “Error”
will be blinked. Check your cable connections and try
again.
6. If cloning is successful, turn the “destination” radio off.
Now turn the “source” radio off.
7. Remove the clone cable. Channel and operating data for
both radios are now identical. They both may be turned
on now for normal operation.
