Purpose of this release
=======================================================================================

previous released versions and codeplug to the latest
- For models PMUF1104A,PMUF1104B,PMUF1105A and PMUF1105B due to the enhancement
on 700M reband, the whole codeplug will be overwritten with the new default
codeplg file, Note that none of the CPS programming data will be preserved during
upgrade,so user has to reconfigure all the CPS settings after upgrade.
- The tuning data and the CPS programming data
will be preserved.

PLEASE READ: WARNING’S FOR ALL RADIO TYPES

PLEASE SAVE YOUR EXISTING CODEPLUG AS AN ARCHIVE FILE. The codeplug programming
information may be lost after the update process therefore, it is recommended to read
the radio using the CPS, and save an archive of the radio's codeplug before starting
the update process. After the update, this archive can now be used to recover the
codeplug programming information by programming the archive back into the radio.

Ensure the radio updating process is not interrupted. Interruption will cause the
radio not to operate anymore and attempting to update the radio again will NOT be
successful.

Do NOT create a shortcut of the program (e.g. on your desktop), the program might
not be able to find the data files in that case!

Do not remove the programming cable or turn off the radio while the update is in
progress.

In case of failure during the updating, a message box will appear to guide the user
to recover from the failure, if possible.

The flashing rate can be changed only by restarting the program.

You may not run more than one copy of the program at the same time.

Baud rate 115k can only be supported by certain Radio Interface Boxes (RIB).
Use 19k baud rate when using a RIB. RKN4075A RIBless cable supports 115k baud.

INSTRUCTIONS ABOUT UPGRADING PROCESS

=======================================================================================

The following instructions detail the operations of the Firmware Kit:

(Note: These instructions must be followed in the exact order to work properly):
1. Start the Firmware Kit by going to Start->Programs->Motorola->Professional
Radio Firmware Kit ->Portable Firmware Kit R05.14.03- Non Four Line Display
->Firmware Kit R05.14.03 for Pref Radios.

2. Connect a fully charged battery or a power supply to the radio and turn the
radio on. Ensure that the radio has powered up properly.

3. Attach the programming cable to your portable radio. Connect the
programming cable to the computer or RIB through the flashing adapter
(HLN9742B). Ensure the flashing adapter is set to the "OFF" position.

4. After the tool is launched and only on the first attempt of updating, the
flash Baud rate configuration dialog box will appear. The default baud rate
is 19,200. Select if you want to use the default value or you can
select a baud rate and then click on the button.

5. Once the upgrade screen appears, click on the "PROGRAM" button and follow
the instructions.

6. Put the flashing adapter to the "A" position.

7. Remove the power from the radio and then reconnect the power.

WHEN THE POWER IS RECONNECTED, THE RADIOS DISPLAY WILL BE BLANK AND THE
RADIO WILL APPEAR TO BE NONFUNCTIONAL EVEN THOUGH THE "on/off" KNOB IS IN
THE "ON" POSITION. THIS IS CORRECT!!! THE RADIO IS ACTUALLY IN BOOTSTRAP
MODE WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR FLASHING!

8. Click on the "OK" button.

9. You will now see a status bar indicating the percentage of completion.

10. Once the radio is updated, remove the programming cable and set the flash
adapter to the "OFF" position.
Note: This is very important, even if you are going to update another radio.

11. To update another radio, go to step #2.

TROUBLESHOOTING

=======================================================================================

If Firmware Kit will not start

1. Make sure this is an original version of the kit and not copied off another
computer.
2. Make sure another copy is not running on your computer.

If an error is returned when you select program, check the following:

1. On RIB setting menu, set 'Echo' for single-wired bootstrap. 'No Echo' is for
dual-wired bootstrap. Professional radios use single-wired bootstrap.
2. On the Comm setting menu, make sure that the port selected is the one to
which the radio is connected.
3. Make sure the radio is on and properly connected to the computer.

If an error is returned immediately after the radio is in bootstrap:

1. Click and switch the flash adapter to the 'CPS' or normalor OFF position,
turn the radio off, then on again, and try again.
