WARNING

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


PLEASE READ: WARNING 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. Read through the README file and make sure your radio meets the updating
specifications. The README file can be found by going through Start Menu
>> Programs >> Professional Radio Upgrade Kit >> Upgrade Kit R02.08.00 with CP 08.00 for MPT Portable Radios
>> Readme

These instructions must be followed in the exact order for the radio
updating to work properly

2. Start the Firmware Kit by going to Start menu Programs >> Professional Radio Upgrade Kit
>> Upgrade Kit R02.08.00 with CP 08.00 for MPT Portable Radios >> Upgrade Kit R02.08.00 for Portable

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

4. Attach the programming cable to the radio. Connect the other end of the
programming cable to the computer or Radio Interface Box (RIB) through
the flashing adapter (HLN9742B). Ensure that the flashing adapter is set
to "OFF" position.

5. After the Firmware Kit 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 'OK' if you want to use the default value or you can
select a different baud rate and then click the 'OK' button.

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

7. You will now see a status bar indicating the checking of radio data.

8. Set the flash adapter to 'ON' position.

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

#Note:
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!

10. Click the "OK" button to continue with the updating process.

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

12. Once flashing is completed, remove the programming cable and set the flash
adapter to "OFF" position.
(This is very important, even if you are going to update another radio).

13. To update another radio, attach the programming cable, and go to step #3.


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

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