WARNING

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

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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

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

If UpgradeKit 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.


If an error is returned immediately after the radio is in bootstrap, click Ok and
switch the flash adapter to 'CPS' mode, turn the radio off, on and try again.
