2.7.2 What To Do with Previous Versions of RSS Diskettes
After you have created a backup copy of the new RSS diskettes, you may wonder what to do with the previous RSS
versions you may have accumulated. We recommend discarding the older versions so that you do not accidently
program the radio with outdated data.
2.7.3 Starting the RSS From the Hard Disk
A hard-disk drive installation program is on the RSS diskettes. After installing the RSS on your hard disk, follow the
startup procedure.
2.7.4 Installing the RSS on Your Hard Disk
Install the latest RSS version as soon as you receive it. Using the install program on the diskettes you received with
this manual assures that you have the latest and greatest version of the RSS. It also keeps important files in a
consistent place for cross-referencing and future use. The software installation takes approximately three minutes.
The install program will:
• Create the MRSS, MTSX and ARCHIVE directories, if they are not already there.
• Write over the old version’s program files with the same name, if present.
The install program will
not
:
• Write over your archive files.
Before doing the installation steps that follow, be sure you have made a backup copy of the RSS, explained in the
“Making a Backup Copy of RSS Diskette(s)” section and Table 2-7 “Steps to Backup the RSS Diskette(s).”
The steps below install the RSS on your computer. After each “What to Type” step below, press Return or Enter.
