HX460SPage 20 4.18 CLONING
The HX460S includes a convenient “Clone” feature, which allows the memory
and configuration data from one transceiver to be transferred to another
HX460S. Here is the procedure for Cloning one radio’s data to another:
1.Turn both radios off.
2.Connect the (optional) CT-32 Clone Cable between the MIC/SP jacks of
the two transceivers.
3.Hold down the PRESET key and then turn on the transceiver. Do this for
both transceivers (the order of switching the radios on does not matter);...

HX460SPage 21 4.19 RESETTING THE TRANSCEIVER’S MICROPROCESSOR
Resetting the microprocessor restores the initial, factory-supplied conditions
in the transceiver. These are called the “default” conditions. To reset the
microprocessor, first turn the transceiver off. Then, while pressing and hold-
ing in the WX and SCAN keys, turn the transceiver on. The default condi-
tions are:
•No channel numbers are in scan memory.
•Channel 16 is the priority channel.
•Channel 16 will be selected when the transceiver is...

HX460SPage 225. BATTERY
The CNB460 is a high performance Lithium-Ion battery providing high ca-
pacity in a very compact package.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of explosion and injury, CNB460 battery pack should only
be removed, charged or recharged in non-hazardous environments.
5.1 BATTERY CHARGING
If the radio has never been used, or its charge is depleted, it may be charged
by connecting the NC-72 battery charger, as shown in the illustration. If 12V
DC power is available, the optional E-DC-6 or the E-DC-19...

HX460S5.3 USING THE NC-72 BATTERY CHARGER
1.Turn the transceiver off.
2.Insert the miniature plug on the end of
the NC-72 Battery Charger cable into the
EXT DC jack of the transceiver.
3.Plug the NC-72 into a 120 VAC wall out-
let.
4.The indicator will glow red, indicating that
charging has begun.
5.When charging is completed, the red
indicator will change to green. Remove
the plug from the EXT DC jack when
charging has been accomplished.
6.Replace the rubber gasket in its place
to protect the inside of...

HX460S5.5 BATTERY SAFETY
Battery packs for your transceiver contain Nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) batter-
ies. This type of battery stores a charge powerful enough to be dangerous if
misused or abused, especially when removed from the transceiver. Please
observe the following precautions:
DO NOT SHORT BATTERY PACK TERMINALS
Shorting the terminals that power to the transceiver can cause sparks, se-
vere overheating, burns, and battery cell damage. If the short is of sufficient
duration, it is possible to melt...
