SECTION 9. FLASHPORT UPGRADE
9.1 INTRODUCTION TO FLASHport
FLASHport is a revolutionary new method of upgrading the software in a subscriber radio. This involves
enabling new features downloading or FLASHing new software into the radio.
This section is a brief preview of FLASHport capabilities. A detailed procedure is obtained through the
FLASHport Users Manual (68P81077C65) that accompanies the software upgrade kit.
9.2 FLASHING PROCEDURE
“Flashing” or upgrading your radio requires the standard radio service software (RSS), which is used during
normal radio programming and servicing procedures. Refer to the “Getting Started” section for your radio’s
specific RSS part number. The following is a brief description of the FLASHport Upgrade Menu.

The following RSS screens are shown as an example; your screens may vary slightly. The FLASHport path and key
titles (HELP, EXIT, FLASH RADIO, etc.) may be the same for portable and mobile radios, but the function keys may
be different.
