CLONING
The programed settings from a MB400 radio can be directly transferred to
another MB400 radio bypassing the need to individually program radios. The
MCC400 cloning cable is required and is listed in the back of this manual and
available on the www.midlandusa.com website.
1. Connect the programmed (Host) radio to the radio to be programmed
(Clone) using the MCC400 Cloning cable.
2. Turn on the radio to be cloned.
3. Press and hold Side Key 1 while turning the Host radio on.
4. The LED will flash orange twice to confirm the Host radio is in clone mode
and ready to transfer the data.
5. Press the PTT of the Host radio to send the data to the clone radio.
6. The LED on the Host radio will blink red, and the LED on the radio to be
cloned will blink green during the data transfer.
7. When the data transfer is complete, the cloned radio will automatically
restart.
8. You may clone another radio by disconnecting the cloned radio and
connecting another radio to the Host and following the steps above.
9. Or you may disconnect both radios and turn them off, and back on to
return to the normal operation.
PRIVACY CODES
CTCSS (Continuous Tone Coded Squelch) and DCS (Digitally Coded Squelch)
allow several users to share the same channel frequency without disturbing each
other. With CTCSS or DCS enabled, the channel is muted to all incoming signals
unless they carry the same CTCSS or DCS tone. When a transmission with the
same tone is received, the channel un-mutes and the voice audio can be heard.
When the transmission ends the channel becomes muted again. Transmissions
that do not have the same tone will not be heard.
Your MB400 radio has 142 Privacy Codes, which can be used on any channel.
The selected Privacy Code may be different for each channel, but must be the
same for a channel on all radios you wish to talk to. Programming a new Privacy
Code overwrites any previous code programmed.
Privacy Codes can be set using the FREE programming software that can be
downloaded from the www.midlandusa.com website.
• You will not be able to hear or talk to other radios that do not match
your frequency and Privacy Code by channel and frequency.
