D Cloning using a personal computer

Data can be cloned to and from a personal computer (Mi-
crosoft® Windows® 95/98/ME) using the optional CS-V8000
CLONING SOFTWARE and the optional OPC-478 CLONING
CABLE. Consult the CS-V8000 CLONING SOFTWARE HELP file
for details.

☞ NOTE: DO NOT push any key on the sub-transceiver dur-
ing cloning. This will cause a cloning error.
When the display at left ap-
pears, a cloning error has oc-
curred.
In such a case, both trans-

ceivers automatically return to
the clone standby condition
and cloning must be repeated. 12
