Icom A-5 Error message

Anyone know how to get rid of this on an Icom A-5? Troubleshooting guide alludes to a Clone error after you try and transfer freqs through a cable to another radio. I just turned it on the other day and got this. It’s totally locked up.

Full reset? Here is from the Icom site. No A5 shown, but maybe one method will work. GL!

Thanks Nick. The A5/A23 and newer used the clone method to transfer info.

Just an update to close out this thread. I found a guy willing to loan me his working A-5. I connected his and mine together with a 3.5mm male to male cord. You turn on both radios into the clone mode by holding the up and down arrows and pushing power. After that you hit enter on the good radio. It took about 5 seconds and then a frequency popped up on my radio and it works fine now. No clue how it got into that mode but this is how you clear that error.
