Introduction
This kit contains parts needed to upgrade one Optimod-FM 8500 to have the same
functionality as an Optimod-FM 8600. Depending on the vintage of your 8500, you
may need to replace the DSP board.
There are two versions of this upgrade kit. One converts an 8500FM to 8600HD func-
tionality, and the second converts 8500HD to 8600HD functionality. (HD units con-
tain two processors—one for FM analog transmission and one for digital radio
transmission. FM units have one processor for FM analog transmission.)

- Page 2 Write down these values before upgrading to software V3 [step (2.B) on page 3]. Then enter them manually on the PC Remote or 8500 front panel [step (3.H) on page 5]. Finally, back up your settings again after up- grading to V3 [step (3.I) on page 5].
- Page 3 Presets. If you have less than 3000KB of available space, back up your user presets using 8500 PC Remote software and then delete these presets from your 8500. If this fails to increase the amount of available space to more than 3000KB, consult Orban Customer Service. (Contact information is located at the end of this document.)
- Page 4 [Skip this step if your 8500 is running v3.0 software or higher.] A) After upgrading to V3.0.x from an 8500 version below 1.3.0, the Diversity De- lay Trim is reset automatically to 8.0000 seconds and the Diversity Delay is set to OFF.

Reserve these screws for reassembly. a) Remove the top cover, and familiarize yourself with the appearance and location of the various circuit boards (see Figure 1 on page 6).
- Page 7 Check all internal connections carefully for any loose or partially seated connections. e) Before replacing the top cover, test the installation to verify that the 8500 is properly recognizing the new circuit board that you just added. Apply power to 8500. During the boot-up process, observe the front-panel power LED.
- Page 8 Upgrade8500xxto8600HDInstaller.exe. 7. Upgrade the 8500 software to 8600 functionality. Your upgrade kit (FM or HD) must match the model of the 8500 you are upgrad- ing (8500FM or 8500HD). If there is a mismatch, the upgrade software will emit an error message and refuse to complete the upgrade.
- Page 9 OPTIMOD-FM 8500 TO 8600 UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS Any open connection to your 8500 will prevent the upgrade software from connecting to the 8500.

- Page 11 (2.C) on page 4 to locate the backup path of your saved files. H) This version of 8600 PC Remote software does not accept 8500 setup files. (We expect to implement this in the future.) There are two ways to restore your settings like input and output levels: manually and automatically.
