Q1. Required antenna?

A1. You need to install an antenna with capacitance over 100 pF at 1.6 MHz, that is, an
antenna of not less than 10 m in length. For example, an 8 m whip antenna needs to
be installed with a lead-in wire of 2 m in length.

Q2. How to verify software version?

A2. You should conduct daily tests. The version number "0550243-0xx.xx" displayed in
the "APP" column represents the application program version of the FS-xx75
system. This version number is used to control the program for the FS-2575C and
78K CPU (for NBDP).
Q3. How to update program for the FS-2575C?
A3. The program for the FS-2575C needs not to be updated. If a combination of
program for T-CPU of the Transceiver unit is different from that of C-CPU of the
Control unit, programs will be automatically transferred from the T-CPU to the
C-CPU to update.

Q4. Do I need to take any measures when program is updated?

A4. Memory clear or other operation is not needed. If you update the program, set
values will remain unchanged. If program substantially changes to invite set value
changes, we will give you a notice of such change using technical information.
Q5. When initiating a program update, an error message saying "--error
(UDP_snd_dat)" is displayed. How to deal with this error?
A5. This presents no problem with program updates. After a while, Communication IP
Address is displayed to automatically initiate the program update.

Q6. When initiating a program update, an error message saying

"Communication error!" is displayed.

A6. This presents no problem with program updates. Please press the [CANCEL] key to
cancel the error and continue the program update.

Q7. Can I use any control unit?

A7. Yes, you can use it without causing any problem. In case of a different combination
with the program of T-CPU of the Transceiver unit to be connected, the program for
the Control unit will automatically be initiated and updated several minutes after
turning ON the power.

Q8. How to register MMSI?

A8. You should press and hold the [S1] switch on the T-IF board for a period of four or
more seconds, and then enter the password "XXXXXX."
You can also register MMSI from the Parameter Browser.
