Kenwood NX-5000 Initial Setup Manual page 2

2. Firmware Update
Firmware shall be updated to V1.62 or later for multi-control head / multi-deck support. The firmware shall be identical in each deck and
control head for proper operation. During set-up, the firmware shall be updated in each RF deck individually due to architecture of the radio.
This shall be done with a single deck connected to a single control head.
Assemble as follows:
NX-5000 RF Deck with KRK-15BM
KCH-19M with KRK-14HM
(If used, KCH-20RM requires no assembly)
KRK-15BM Assembly Instruction

the KCH-19M, remove the KCH-19M from the radio(s).
If using the NX-5xxx RF deck only then instruction 1-3 below may be skipped.

screwdriver and remove the panel from the chassis <Figure 1>.
2) Remove the flat cable from the display unit connector (CN6) of the panel.
