Upgrading the Radio’s Software
Using the Radio Configuration software, select RADIO SOFTWARE
UPGRADE
under the SYSTEM menu. Follow the prompts and on-line
instructions to complete the upgrade procedure.
Software upgrades are distributed as ASCII files with a
.S28 extension.
These files use the Motorola S-record format. When the download is
activated, the radio’s
PWR LED will flash rapidly, confirming that a
download is in process. The download takes about two minutes.
NOTE: If a download fails, the radio is left unprogrammed and inop-
erative. This is indicated by the PWR LED flashing slowly (1
second on/1 second off). This condition is only likely to occur
if there is a power failure to the computer or radio during the
downloading process. The download can be attempted again
when the fault has been corrected.
