14 Firmware Update
14.1
Firmware update
In general, an update of PC-software (CPS) or radio-firmware should only be done
if it is really required
, following the golden rule ‘
If it isn´t broken, don´t fix it!
’.
Notes:
Prior to performing a firmware update, save the current codeplug to a file.
After doing so, the firmware update may be applied. Finally, the previously
saved codeplug should then again be written to the radio using the
corresponding CPS.
14.2
Install program for firmware update
To install the updater, just unzip the archive you downloaded from
Radiod
d
ity support and double click on the file, named
‘
IAP(setup).exe
’. This will install the
firmware update program on
your Windows machine and place a shortcut on your desktop.
