2.7.2 What to Do with Previous Versions of RSS Diskettes
After you make a backup copy of the new RSS diskettes, you may wonder what to do with the old, previ-
ous RSS versions you may have accumulated. We recommend discarding them so you always have the
most current version available and you won't mistakenly program a radio with outdated data.
2.7.3 Starting RSS From Hard Disk
To run RSS from the hard disk, it must first be installed there. A hard-disk drive installation program is in
the RSS diskettes. After installing RSS on your hard disk, follow the startup procedure.
2.7.3.1
Installing RSS on Hard Disk
Install the latest RSS version as soon as you receive it - using the install program with the diskettes you
received with this manual insures you have the latest and greatest version of the RSS. It also keeps impor-
tant files in a consistent place for cross-referencing and future use. The software installation takes approx-
imately three minutes.
The install program will:
❏ Create the MRSS, GM300 and ARCHIVE directories, if they are not already there.
❏ Write over the old version's program files with the same name, if present.
❏ Create certain files on the hard disk to make using the RSS easier (“.CFG”, “.DBF”, “.MDF”).
The install program will not:
❏ Write over your archive files.
❏ Write over your backup files.
Before doing the installation steps that follow, be sure you have made a backup copy of the RSS.
