8. Firmware Programming Mode
(for transceiver)
8-1. Preface
Flash memory is mounted on the transceiver (TK-
5710/5710H/5810/5810H).
This allows the transceiver to be upgraded when new
features are released in the future. (For details on how to
obtain the fi rmware, contact Customer Service.)
8-2. Connection procedure
1. Connect the Panel assembly (KRK-11) to the transceiver
(TK-5710/5710H/5810/5810H).
2. Connect the Interface box (KRK-11) to the Panel assem-
bly (KRK-11) using the control cable (KCT-22). (Refer to
"1-2. Connecting the KRK-11 Panel assembly and Inter-
face box using the KCT-22 control cable" on page 14 for
installation details.)
3. Connect the KCH-16 cable to the Interface box.
4. Connect the Interface box to the computer using the
interface cable (KPG-43/43A) and USB adapter (KCT-53U
: the KCT-53U can be used with the KPG-43A interface
cable.). (Connection is the same as in PC Mode.)
8-3. Programming
1. Start up the fi rmware programming software (Fpro.exe
(ver. 3.06a or later)): the Fpro.exe software is in the in-
stalled KPG-95D (ver. 5.30 or later) folder.
2. Set the communications speed (normally, 115200 bps)
and communications port in the confi guration item.
3. Set the fi rmware to be updated by File name item.
4. Press and hold the [A] key while turning the transceiver
power ON. Then, the orange LED on the transceiver
lights and "PROG 115200" is displayed.
5. Check the connection between the transceiver, Interface
box (KRK-11), Panel assembly (KRK-11) and the personal
8
REALIGNMENT
computer, and make sure that the transceiver is in the
Program mode.
6. Press the "write" button in the window. When the trans-
ceiver starts to receive data, the [PG] display blinks.
7. If writing ends successfully, the checksum is calculated
and a result is displayed.
8. If you want to continue programming other transceivers,
repeat steps 4 to 7.
Notes:
• This mode cannot be entered if the Firmware Program-
ming mode is set to Disable in the Programming soft-
ware.
• TK-5710/5710H (Hardware version 1.0):
These transceivers use fi rmware versions 1.00 to 2.99.
If you attempt to use fi rmware versions F3.00 or later,
a "Check connection" error message will appear on the
LCD.
• TK-5710/5710H (Hardware version 2.0):
ME MIC
These transceivers use fi rmware versions F3.00 or later.
If you attempt to use fi rmware versions 1.00 to 2.99, a
"Check connection" error message will appear on the
LCD.
• TK-5810/5810H:
These transceivers use fi rmware versions F4.00 or later.
When using fi rmware versions earlier than version F4.00,
a "Check connection" error message will appear on the
LCD. Firmware versions earlier than version F4.00 will
not write to the transceiver.
8-4. Baud rate change
1. If you press the [C] key while "PROG 115200" is dis-
played, the display changes to "PROG 57600" (the LED
blinks orange). If you press the [C] key again while "PROG
57600" is displayed, the display changes to "PROG
19200" (the LED blinks green) to indicate that the write
speed is low speed (19200 bps). If you press the [C] key
again while "PROG 19200" is displayed, the display re-
turns to "PROG 115200" (the LED lights orange).
2. If you press the [Orange] key while "PROG 115200" is
displayed, the checksum is calculated, and a result is
displayed. If you press the [Orange] key again while the
checksum is displayed, "PROG 115200" is redisplayed.
Note: Normally, write in the high-speed mode.
9. Clone Mode
Programming data can be transferred from one trans-
ceiver to another by connecting them via their microphone
jacks. The operation is as follows (the transmitting transceiv-
er is the source and the receiving transceiver is a target).
The following data cannot be cloned.
• Tuning data
• Embedded message with password
• Model name data
• ESN (Electronic Serial Number) data
• Network fi le data (P25)
