MAIN Software Update
*Don't forget to write down (or save to a CF Card) any personal menu settings you have changed from the
default before you start. Please see the DMU-2000 Data Management Operation Manual for the procedure
to save your settings to a CF card.
We recommend you follow this process, steps (1) thru (18), the first time you program your radio.
After you are familiar with the location of the switch S3004 you may wish to bypass Steps (2) and
(15), and operate the switch through the hole under the left rear foot (near the CAT connector). See
the illustration below Figure A. You must be
extremely careful
to avoid damage to the PC
components (which may not be covered by the Limited Warranty). Use a flashlight and insulated tool
to operate the switch.

Turn off the main power switch located on the back of the FT
-
2000 (or turn off the power
supply for FT
-
2000D and wait a minute, until the capacitors discharge) and remove the AC
power cord.

Connect a serial cable RS-232C, DB9F to DB9F straight cable to the COM1 connector of your
