7. Firmware Programming Mode
7-1. Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the transceiver. This al-
lows the transceiver to be upgraded when new features are
released in the future. (For details on how to obtain the fi rm-
ware, contact Customer Service.)
7-2. Connection procedure
Connect the transceiver to the personal computer (PC)
using the interface cable (KPG-43/43A) and USB adapter
(KCT-53U: When the interface cable is KPG-43A, the KCT-
53U can be used.). (Connection is the same as in the PC
Mode.)
7-3. Programming
1. Start up the fi rmware programming software (Fpro.exe).
2. Set the communications speed (normally, 115200 bps)
and communications port in the confi guration item.
3. Set the fi rmware to be updated by File name item.
4. Press and hold the [PF2] key while turning the transceiv-
er power ON. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver
lights and "PROGRAM FIRM" is displayed.
5. Check the connection between the transceiver and the
personal computer, and make sure that the transceiver is
in the Program mode.
6. Press "write" button in the window. When the trans-
ceiver starts to receive data, the [PG] display is blinking.
7. If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculated
and a result is displayed.
8. If you want to continue programming other transceivers,
repeat steps 4 to 7.
Note:
• This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program-
ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft-
ware.

REALIGNMENT
• These transceivers use firmware versions G5.10 or
later. When using fi rmware versions earlier than version
G5.10, a "Check connection" error message will ap-
pear on the LCD. Firmware versions earlier than version
G5.10 will not write to the transceiver.
• While the firmware is being written, if the transceiver
resets due to a power supply interruption or other prob-
lem, the LCD may not display correctly (for example,
"PROGRAM FIRM" may not display).
Additionally, transceiver keys other than the power
switch cannot be operated.
To return to normal operation, click the "Cancel" but-
ton in the firmware programming software, then turn
the transceiver power OFF and back ON. "PROGRAM
FIRM" reappears on the display and the transceiver keys
ME MIC
can be operated. However, the previously written fi rm-
ware data is lost; you must write the fi rmware using the
fi rmware programming software again.
8. Firmware Version Information
Press and hold the [PF3] key while turning the transceiv-
er power ON and then keep pressing and holding the [PF3]
key, the fi rmware version information appears on the LCD.
