Cloning from non-Fire Features radios to/from Fire Features radios is fully compatible, but only
the standard full channel, zone, channel (no Event bank) option is possible.
Note: Do not turn off or disconnect cable during the cloning process.
To clone one Fire Features equipped Guardian portable radio to another:
1. Turn off both radios.
2. Connect the red (cloning source) and black (PC) cables to each other.
3. Connect the source end of the cloning cable to the side connector of the source radio (the
radio with the information to be cloned).
Note: Guide the top and bottom pegs on the end of the cable into the corresponding slots on
the radio’s side connector. When they click together, use your thumb to hold the cable to the
radio and turn the screw handle until the cable is tight against the radio.
4. Connect the target end of the cloning cable to the side connector of the target radio (the radio
to receive the information).
5. Turn on the target radio and the source radio. The source radio indicates the cloning mode. (If
you see
CONNECT TARGET RADIO , recheck your cable connection.)
These are the 6 cloning options from which to choose. A √ beside a cloning option indicates its

Note: Zones can be protected using the PC Programmer. If a zone is protected, a password is
needed to clone over the zone or zones. If a source cloning radio and target cloning radio have
matching zone passwords, the password criteria is met. If a protected zone is cloned to another
radio (main or Event bank), the target radio’s zone does not become protected.
