A. INTRODUCTION

KPG-56D software is a tool for programming TK- 260G,TK- 270G,TK- 272G,TK- 278G,TK- 360G,TK- 370G,TK- 372G,TK- 378G,TK-388G portable transceivers and TK-760G,TK- 762G,TK- 768G,TK- 860G,TK- 862G,TK- 868G mobile transceivers using this software, first enter programming data into the appropriate computer, and then transfer the data to a transceiver. You can print out that data from a printer. You can also retrieve data from a transceiver to edit on the computer.

SUPPLIED ITEMS

Your programming software package includes the followings:

* Floppy disks (3.5", 1.44 MB)

KPG-56D PROGRAMMING DISK (program files)

* Installation sheet

HARDWARE/ SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS


Computer:
The software was designed for use on IBM PC, AT, PS/2 and compatible computers with Conventional Memory capacity of at least 530 KB.

Operating system (OS):
The operating system must be Microsoft Windows 98/2000/Me/XP.

Communication port:
The computer must have a serial communication port to connect with a transceiver.

This port must be compatible with an IBM asynchronous communications adapter.
You may use the port from COM1 to COM20 on the computer.

Connection cable:
Use a KPG-22 (for portable) or a KPG-46 (for mobile) cable to connect the computer with the transceiver.




B. CONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT:
1. Switch OFF the power to the computer.


2. Connect the 25-pin connector on the KPG-22/46 cable to the port of COM1 to COM20 on the computer. If the COM port has 9 pins, use a commercially available 9-pin/25-pin adapter.

3. Switch ON the power to the computer.

4. Switch OFF the power to the transceiver.

5. Connect the other end of the KPG-22/46 cable to the universal connector on the transceiver.

6. Switch ON the power to the transceiver.


C. Read Data from Radio:
This function reads all program data from the transceiver flash memory.

1. When "Read Data from radio" is selected, the "Read Data from radio" window opens.

2. Select "[Read]" or "[Cancel]".

Note:

If communication with the transceiver is not possible for any reason, the "Check Connection Error" window will open. Confirm that the transceiver is correctly connected to the computer via a KPG-22/46 cable, then select "[Retry]".


D. Write Data to Radio:
This function writes data into the transceiver flash memory.

1. When "Write Data to Radio" is selected, the "Write Data to Radio" window opens.

2. Select "[Write]" or "[Cancel]". "[Write]" writes data into the transceiver. "[Cancel]" aborts the write function and re-displays the Program menu.

Note:

If communication with the transceiver is not possible for any reason, the "Check Connection Error" window opens. Confirm that the transceiver is correctly connected to the computer via a KPG-22/46 cable, then select "[Retry]".
